Early Tuesday, seven House Republicans introduced a bill to rename Dulles International Airport after Donald Trump. This move has not gone unnoticed by Democratic Congressman Gerry Connolly, whose district includes parts of Dulles. Connolly swiftly responded to the proposal with a scathing suggestion of his own, which is for more fitting.

Women’s Basketball has found its audience.

Iowa’s win over LSU averaged 12.3 million viewers and peaked at 16 million viewers. That shattered the previous all-time mark set last year for LSU’s win over Iowa in last year’s championship, a game that averaged a record 9.9 million viewers and peaked at 12.6 million viewers.
