Obama, Mcchrystal Meet On Air Force One

Donald Trump took a minute to post an unhinged rant directed at Rep. Nancy Pelosi after her interview with CNN's Dana Bash. The former Speaker of the House called out the felon over his state of mind. While the media is screeching about Biden's debate performance, which admittedly was not good, Trump's daily hissy fits filled with gish-galloping lies on Truth Social and his rallies prove that he's not fit for office. "My people are very much Biden, Kamala Harris," Pelosi said.

The Supreme Court on Monday provided former President Donald Trump with significant legal protection against prosecution for actions taken during his tenure in the Oval Office. In a ruling split along ideological lines, the Justices held that Presidents enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts but remain susceptible to charges for unofficial conduct—a decision that has profound implications for Trump’s pending criminal cases, particularly those stemming from his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.

A mistrial was declared Monday in the murder trial of Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman accused of killing her police officer boyfriend, after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
