Tegan and Sara Talk With Alt Press
Tegan and Sara talked with Alternative Press about the upcoming 10 year anniversary of The Con:

Eminem appeared on a pre-recorded segment during the BET Hip-Hop Awards last night to perform a freestyle about Donald Trump. Trump’s too busy trying to destroy the freedom of the press and start nuclear war to respond (and he rarely picks fights with white men anyway).
