'American Idol' contestant faints following performance
CNN
This week's "American Idol" episode was showstopping, but not because of the performances.
Contestants Ronda Felton and Funke Lagoke took to the stage to perform a duet of "Tell Him," originally recorded by Barbra Streisand. While judge Lionel Richie was giving his feedback to the contestants, Lagoke fainted, hitting her face on the stage.
Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
