@jaycaspiankang He either didn't run thru this question with his PR folks (highly unlikely) or he did and this is what they came up with (even worse). I'm guessing they had a better answer and he veered under the pressure. Nobody on that set was with him.

Suicide deaths fell across the country last year.

In Maryland, suicide deaths rose.

A new report notes Maryland has no suicide-prevention office required by law, only a commission that survives on executive order & could vanish when a governor does.

Republican Steve Hilton breaks with Trump’s baseless claims of a “rigged” election in California: “We’ve been very vigilant… we’ve seen nothing that would give us cause to intervene.”

Umpires got the call wrong in Orioles-Blue Jays on Sunday.

MLB rules say runners have an “obligation” to stay within 3 feet of their base path while avoiding a tag, per source.

Ernie Clement didn’t keep that path and should’ve been ruled out. Story: https://t.co/5rtNr8ouRS

Trump returns to NYC tonight for the Knicks game, a city he is banned from operating a business in because a judge found him liable for major financial fraud.

[Catholic Arena @CatholicArena]

Pope Leo XIV went into the most left wing parliament in Europe and to their faces:

• Praised the history and heritage of Spain
• Unapologetically defended the right to life of the unborn and elderly
• Praised Catholic education
• Criticised 'traffickers and smugglers' who profit from migration
• Called for 'historical memory' that 'seeks truth and reconciliation' in dig at leftist division
• WARNED them against banning confession

How was the reporter in any way disrespectful? She isn't supposed to ask follow up questions? He isn't used to being challenged to support his claims and statements. He got uncomfortable and took it out on the reporter. A common tactic he and others in the admin employ when cornered. It's a case study to be used for media training on how not to conduct yourself when engaging media.

Imagine being a bar owner inside this zone near MSG. You'd prepared to have maybe the highest revenue night in this history of your bar.

Now you'll make nothing thanks to Trump.

Trump's DOJ has canceled all election rights trainings, deleted a guide to prosecuting election offenses, and has refused to appoint a director of the Election Crimes branch.
