After horrific shooting at gay club, most gay men still can’t donate blood to help https://t.co/9mc68jXnMP

The fact that gay men—or rather, men who've had sex with another man within the past year—can not donate blood in the U.S. is troubling many on social media as the scores of mostly LGBT victims of the mass shooting at Pulse in Orlando truly need blood.

It's so urgent that OneBlood put out a call for donations that was re-tweeted by Florida's Sen. Marco Rubio, who may or may not technically be able to donate, depending on which rumors you believe.

Be that as it may:

I think it's high time this rule be abolished. You can't tell me we don't have the technology in place, with instant testing, to ensure that any blood donated by any person isn't infected with HIV (or any other blood-borne diseases).

People hate Donald Trump so much that someone went to the trouble of placing an ominous tombstone dedicated to his D.O.A. aspirations in Central Park:

Less morbidly, Nylon came up with the idea that Donald Trump might just be a mean girl. Check out the video evidence ...

Bye, bye, Little Marco.

Marco Rubio, the #1 Republican the Hillary Clinton campaign feared, never gelled with the people. Tonight, after a dismal finish in his home state, the senator called it quits, leaving the race between just Donald Trump (who won tonight's states save for Ohio), Sen. Ted Cruz (who seems to be on the verge of taking Missouri) and Gov. John Kasich (who provided a speed bump for Trump by taking the state he's currently running into the ground, Ohio).

In his speech tonight, Sen. Cruz grotesquely noted that Hillary Clinton tosses and turns “in her jail cell” over the threat she feels from, of all people, Carly Fiorina. (Why are they even compared in the same breath? They have exactly one thing in common—gender.)

Trump is going to have a hard time getting to the nomination in a clean way having been denied Ohio. Perhaps a contested convention is a reality for the Republicans.

If he wins the nomination, Trump's real pivot won't be from extremism to the center but from racism to misogyny.

Will the establishment suck it up and get behind Trump, who's earned the nomination in spirit if not in the delegate count, or will it deny him, knowing they'd be alienating his voters and potentially handing the White House to the Democrats?

wow. wow. @Redistrict notes Trump is losing 2 IL delegates bc his voters skipped voting for his delegate candidates named Sadiq & Fakroddin.

Via Politico: No big surprises on the Democratic side, with Hillary dominating in Louisiana, keeping it close but losing in Nebraska and losing by a lot to Bernie in Kansas.

But on the Republican side, Ted Cruz showed surprising strength, besting Trump in Kansas and Maine. Trump took Kentucky.

Rubio had his worst night yet—he is not toast, he is those little black crumbs of toast at the bottom of the toaster—and Cruz is calling on him and Kasich to give up.
