  A man in a panda suit who allegedly threatened to bomb Fox Television’s Baltimore affiliate unless it broadcasted his government conspiracy story was shot on Thursday.
  Police did not kill the man, who is white and is believed to be in his twenties.
  The local affiliate, Fox45, reported that the man broke into the building and demanded that “the news station cover a story about some sort of government conspiracy.”
  He was wearing a one-piece panda suit, along with a surgical mask

  The 2016 election cycle has led to heated discussion about the issues of money in politics and racial justice. However, these debates have rarely crossed: the dominance of the affluent and racial justice are treated as separate issues. My latest Demos report suggests that these debates are actually intertwined: the donor class is dominated by whites, which could  hamper progress towards to racial justice.

  A Florida Republican candidate for Senate has called for banning everyone from the Middle East — well, excluding Israelis.
  “I think our immigration department is broken. And I don’t think it’s safe to allow anybody from the Middle East into this country,” Carlos Beruff said at a Republican Party event on Monday night, the Sun Sentinel reported.

  At his rally in Evansville, Indiana on Thursday, Donald Trump paraded former-Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight— best known for throwing chairs, choking players and staff and coaching three national championship-winning teams — who is in a dead-heat with Clint Eastwood for the GOP’s least coherent celebrity member.

• After bombing Libya into chaos, NATO plans blockade to bar refugees from Europe, with U.S. help

  Five years after bombing Libya and effectively destroying its government, NATO has declared plans to impose a naval blockade on the North African nation in order to prevent refugees and migrants from entering Europe.
  Human rights experts say this plan likely violates international law, like the E.U. plan to deport refugees and migrants en masse to Turkey.

• Thanks, John Boehner! Former speaker reminds us that Ted “Lucifer” Cruz is far more terrifying than Donald Trump

  John Boehner was widely mocked during his tenure as Speaker of the House. Some of that criticism was justified, some of it not. In his defense, I’m not sure anyone could’ve corralled a Congress as nihilistic as this one. At any rate, one of the few services he did provide in office was to publicly identify Ted Cruz as a petulant fraud.
  Last year, before stepping down, Boehner appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and called Cruz a “jackass” and a “fa

  Bernie Sanders has called his campaign a “political revolution.” The word “revolution” is poorly defined in the political science literature, and it’s used so often in popular culture as to strip it of any concrete meaning. Generally, though, people take revolution to mean wholesale change, a rupture in the status quo. To his credit, Sanders has been quite clear about what he means by the phrase:

Way back on April 5 he won the Wisconsin primary in convincing fashion, taking 48 percent of the vote and kindling hope that perhaps the nominating race was entering a new phase with Cruz ascendant and Trump fading. That didn’t happen – in the weeks since, Cruz has collapsed while Trump has only gained stren
