    A United Nations panel says that Julian Assange has been "arbitrarily" detained and the U.K. and Sweden should compensate the WikiLeaks founder for his exile in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

  • Was last night's Hillary Clinton/Bernie Sanders showdown "the election's most explosive exchange to date?" Actually, yeah, probably.
  • One of Clinton's worst moments in the Democratic presidential debate last night came when asked about speaking fees she received from Wall Street banks.
  • Russia and Turkey continue to argue over Syria.
  • Obama proposes raising the oil production tax to $10 per barrel
  • "This is what that Satanist group wants"—for people to stop praying before Phoenix, Arizona, City Council meetings. 
  • Thai police raid an elderly expatriate bridge club, arrest 84-year-old woman for having too many playing cards.
  • YouTube and chill?
