CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins confronted Mace about her comments during an interview on CNN on Tuesday, Mace denied saying any of the things that were listed in the report.

"They're all saying the same thing. Is everyone lying and she telling the truth? And it's not just this one incident. Apparently, there's a handful of incidents over the last year where she is cussing out TSA, cussing out security." "This is something that goes back not just…...

1+ hour, 25+ min ago (397+ words) Donald Trump is struggling to "separate reality from fantasy" and a recent Truth Social post makes it clear, a political commentator has claimed. The president has taken to the social media platform many times over the last few months but a 500-word tirade about his physical and mental health seems to have highlighted a few problems with Trump. Though he may have wanted to clear the air on his cognitive abilities, columnist Michael Ian Black believes the Truth Social rant shows Trump is not all there. Black, writing in The Daily Beast, suggested the post will be "exhibit A" in a push to boot the president out of office using the 25th Amendment. He wrote, "Taken together, this latest Trumpian screed ought to be Exhibit A in a discharge of the 25th Amendment." "If he were a more stable genius, I would…...

2+ hour, 8+ min ago (354+ words) A rambling Donald Trump who made an affordability campaign trail appearance has been dubbed as "not all there" by Jimmy Kimmel. The talk show host compiled the many flubs of the president's speech, including a rambling attack on "Indians" who did not want the "Chief of Staff" title used and a slew of usual catchphrases. Kimmel described Trump's appearance as "like a slot machine" as the president made his way through the speech. Kimmel said, "He's like a slot machine. He's not all there, he really isn't. One of the many shouts he gave out last night was to his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, whose last name he, for some reason, replaced with his own." Trump went on to mention that "Susie Trump" was his Chief of Staff but they "don't use the word chief of staff anymore because…...

Thakuria It may be amazing, but true that the largest democracy on Earth continues waiting for a fully functioning government-sponsored media watchdog for more than a year now. Press Council of India (PCI), a quasi-judicial body, which was initiated to safeguard and nurture the freedom of press in the country, remains almost a non-functioning entity as the term of PCI's 14th council expired on 5 October 2024.

Currently, the PCI has its chairperson and secretary along with only five members representing Rajya Sabha,…...

4+ hour, 35+ min ago (785+ words) A new report from the World Inequality Lab, the product of four years of comprehensive research, finds that economic inequality on a world scale continues to increase by leaps and bounds, with vast wealth concentrated in a tiny handful of billionaires and centi-millionaires. As the report's foreword declares:" The data presented here are striking. The richest 10% of the global population own close to three-quarters of all wealth, while the poorest half hold barely 2%. Fewer than 60,000 multi-millionaires now control three times more wealth than half of humanity combined. Within most countries, the bottom 50% rarely possess more than 5% of national wealth." The World Inequality Lab was established through efforts to investigate global inequality initially spearheaded by economists Thomas Piketty, Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, co-authors of a series of studies on the concentration of wealth and income. According to the report, the…...

4+ hour, 41+ min ago (782+ words) The US military seized a large oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela on Wednesday, a brazen act of piracy that marks a major escalation in the Trump administration's war preparations against the South American country. Speaking at the White House, Trump announced the operation in the language of a gangster: "We've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually." When asked what would happen to the oil, Trump replied, "Well, we keep it, I guess." The Venezuelan government characterized the seizure as "barefaced robbery and an act of international piracy" aimed at stripping the country of its oil wealth. On Tuesday, two US fighter jets circled the Gulf of Venezuela for approximately 40 minutes, coming within 20 nautical miles of Venezuelan territory in an unmistakable provocation. The tanker seizure is a…...

4+ hour, 43+ min ago (370+ words) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed President Donald Trump on Wednesday for giving the economy a grade of "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus." On Tuesday, Politico released an interview with Trump in which he gave the economy a glowing review. "A-plus," he said when asked what grade he would give the economy. "Yeah, A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus." He also claimed that "prices are coming down substantially." That view doesn't square with how Americans feel, however. Just 36% of Americans approve of his handling of the issue, according to a Fox News poll last month. Meanwhile, nearly half of Americans say Trump's policies have personally hurt them. In an interview with CBS News on Wednesday, Greene criticized Trump's rosy economic outlook. "The president needs to be aware that he's a billionaire president of the United States," she said. "You can't gaslight people and tell them that their bills are…...
