The four leading candidates for California’s open U.S. Senate seat met again this evening, this time in a one-hour San Francisco debate that produced fewer clashes than their first gathering in January.
Still, with less than a month before the state’s open primary, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca) focused a number of his attacks on Steve Garvey, the sole Republican on the stage, particularly over the “issue” of Donald Trump.
“Let me just say this also to Mr. Garvey: The greatest threat that we have to our democracy is Donald Trump,” Schiff said.
Garvey voted for Trump in the last two presidential elections but said that, when it comes to supporting him this year, he “will make that decision when the time comes.” In response to Schiff, Garvey said that the “gravest threat to democracy is deconstruction of the Constitution. Packing the court. Doing away with the filibuster.

Ricky Gervais has branded his critics "humourless" after he was blasted by officials at a Down Syndrome charity for persistently posting a derogatory word associated with the condition on his Twitter.com page.
The Office star regularly uses the word "mong" - a British term often used to refer to sufferers of Down Syndrome - in posts on his page of the microblogging site.
He was forced to defend his use of the term in a joke about Susan Boyle last year, but charity chiefs are annoyed about his continued use of the phrase.
Mencap's Mark Gale tells Britain's The Sun, "It's very disappointing. Such language can perpetuate discriminatory attitudes", and Frank Buckley, from Down Syndrome Education International, adds, "Most would consider it as offensive as comparable terms of abuse referring to racial background or sexual orientation."
Gervais is adamant he means no harm by using the word, insisting it has changed meaning to a more "urban" saying.
He explains, "I have never used the word Mongol. I have used 'mong', but never to mean Down Syndrome and never would.
"The meaning of words change over time - 'gay' for example. The modern use of the word 'mong' means dopey or ignorant - it's in slang and urban dictionaries."
And he returned to his Twitter.com page to blast his critics for their "ill-informed" comments and thank his fans for their support.
Gervais writes, "The humourless PC brigade have been out in force trying to influence the vote with ill informed negative comments... thanks for the support as others wilfully misunderstand to justify their point."
And when one follower asked Gervais how he will get out of "this hole", he replied, "What hole? it's only a hole if you let it be one."...

Last night on The Gates, Nick had to cope with learning that vampires do exist! For someone who seems to be very straight edge and "normal" - Nick really didn't have the type of reaction that I expected from him! I seemed to be yearning for him to lose his mind or at the very least get a little spooked.
I think that is the biggest problem with Vampire shows/movies these days. There's no reaction upon hearing that the undead do exist. Whatever happened to the scared/shocked reactions like Christian Slater a la Interview with the Vampire? Now, when he realized that Brad Pitt was a vampire - he kinda bugged out for a second. That's the type of reaction I was looking for!
In any case, Nick not only handled this absurd new quite well, but he showed us a darker side to his gleaming good cop persona.

This new ABC summer series will be premiering on June 20 and we have three sneak peeks for you below.
