Bustle's Editors On Lorde + Jeff Sessions

by Rachel Simon

Happy Thursday, everyone! We've (almost) made it to the end of the week, and I, at least, could not be more ready. And now that we finally have a new Lorde song (more on that in a bit) to sing along to, this weekend cannot come soon enough.

Before you get ready for one last day in the office for the week, catch up on all the news you might've missed from today, Thursday, March 2:

Lorde + New Music

Now, President Trump has spoken out, too, saying that he has "total" confidence in Sessions. Sigh.

Nike + Plus Size Athletics

Well, it's about time. After getting some criticism last year for having too limited a clothing size range, Nike is launching a plus size athletics line, which will include sports bras, leggings, athleisure, and more. As the company said in a press release, “Nike’s product range will continue to expand to ensure there is a perfect fit for every athlete." Damn straight.
