In light of Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's five-day wedding extravaganza, writer and podcast host Ahmed Ali Akbar took to Twitter to flip the script on all those folks asking why the couple celebrated the wedding the way they did.

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks.
