Assuming (heh) this is true...it's disqualifying for the presidency, right? As in resign immediately disqualifying.
(AP) — President Donald Trump suffered “mental anguish” from CBS News' editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Democratic opponent Kamala Harris last fall, his lawyers are arguing in court papers.

Pete Buttigieg suggested he would “assess” a 2028 presidential run.

While visiting Iowa, he said in a live interview that he'd consider “what I bring to the table.”

He vaulted onto the national stage in 2020 out of South Bend, Indiana. This time, his calculus looks different.

Alcatraz, Gulf of America, a third term, being Pope.

All distractions.

So well done to the oldest Sunday newspaper in the world for focusing on a story that matters.

Trump Inc and the new age of corruption.

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time

What a night, what a performance from this far from 100% team, one of the great European nights at the Emirates.

Declan Rice has produced two of the greatest free kicks you'll ever see at this level, and we 100% deserved that third goal too.

Incredible. This team deserves so much love. #arsenal

This is what perfection looks like. Ladies and Gentleman, the most brilliant cold open in SNL history. It is simultaneously the least exaggerated and overall funniest political cold open by far.

Most brilliant cold open in SNL history, in my humble opinion.

It’s not everything, but just a reminder that we still have an independent judiciary, and Trump is wrong legally and factually about most of his acts and claims.

No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.
