Bernie

From Lady Gaga’s rock opera to surprise appearances by Queen’s Brian May and politician Bernie Sanders, these are the most memorable things our staff saw at Coachella’s first weekend.

The second is the “Fight the Oligarchy!” tour headlined by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexendra Ocasio-Cortez, which made a splash in California over the weekend.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said on X that Mr Mahdawi "was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process".

A sweltering opening weekend at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif., that saw temperatures reach triple digits didn’t dampen the highlights, which included Lady Gaga’s Coachella rock opera, a surprise appearance by Bernie Sanders to introduce Clairo, a steampunk T-Pain leading tens of thousands of people to two-step and Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic backing up LL Cool J on “Mama Said Knock You Out.”
