Ana Suda said she and her friend, Mimi Hernandez, were making a midnight run to the store to pick up some eggs and milk.

Toronto to New York, a cross-country road trip caught between skyscrapers
People call Toronto the New York of Canada. You can see why: there’s that high-rise skyline, a grid system of roads, a pleasant diversity of neighbourhoods and a thriving restaurant scene. Here, however, getting a table at the most desirable restaurants doesn’t involve queuing. Hipsters congregate on just one manageable road: Queen Street West (take that, Brooklyn). But still. There is the pull of the Big Apple, the showcase city in New York State, the outer reaches of which on a clear day are visible from the top of Toronto’s CN Tower. New York City itself is 500 miles away, and a journey between the two cities offered the prospect of much to see, from the watery rush of Niagara Falls to the calm of the Catskills. Ideally I would have driven all the way, but hire-car restrictions mean that crossing the border is unfeasibly expensive.

Donald Trump calls for border legislations using ‘nuclear option’
US President Donald Trump has continued to rage over immigration, calling on Congress to pass border legislation using the "nuclear option if necessary". Mr Trump tweeted that the US must build a border wall, but argued that "Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!" He also said that a deal to help "Dreamer" immigrants is "dead because the Democrats didn't care or act". Mr Trump has previously called for the "nuclear option" - changing Senate rules to end the filibuster. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has dismissed that option in the past, saying Republicans will welcome the filibuster when they return to being the Senate minority. The 1.3 trillion dollar funding package Congress passed last month included 1.6 billion dollars in border wall spending. But much of that money can only be used to repair existing segments, not build new sections. Congress also put restrictions on the types of barriers that can be built. Mr Trump began tweeting over the weekend on … [Read more...] about Donald Trump calls for border legislations using ‘nuclear option’
