Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”

Norway just released their official 2026 World Cup team photo — and the internet has completely lost its mind.

Every single player is dressed head-to-toe in authentic Viking warrior attire. Shields, swords, longships, and a dramatic Oslo fjord in the background. No airplane steps. No tracksuits. Just 26 footballers looking like they sailed out of the ninth century.
The photo is titled "The Vikings Are Coming."

It was shot by renowned British photographer David Yarrow, who privately secured a beach near Oslo and transformed it into a full Viking camp. The idea actually started back in 2023, when Yarrow first photographed Erling Haaland alone in Viking dress, waist-deep in a fjord. The photographer later said: "If you had to choose one sportsperson in the world that doesn't need much hair and makeup to look like a Viking, it's Erling Haaland."

One small detail that makes this even better — captain Martin Ødegaard couldn't make the shoot. He was busy winning the Champions League final with Arsenal in Budapest that day. So Yarrow photographed him separately afterward and digitally added him into the frame. Even the clouds matched.

The numbers behind this team are absurd. Haaland scored 16 goals in just eight qualifying matches — the most of any player across all of European qualifying. Norway won every single one of those eight games, including two victories over Italy: 3-0 in Oslo and 4-1 at the San Siro. Italy, a four-time world champion, will not be at this World Cup. Norway will.

They haven't been to a World Cup since 1998. That's a 28-year wait.

At the tournament, they face Iraq, Senegal, and France in the group stage — with their final game setting up a direct battle between Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
The Vikings are not just coming. They're already here.

Our ultimate measure of success is not whether we stop this #Ebola outbreak.

We will. The Government of #DRC has extensive experience with Ebola, and has stopped 16 previous outbreaks.

It’s just a matter of how quickly we can do it.

The real measure of success is what we do to prevent the 18th outbreak, and the 19th.

San Francisco is a beacon of LGBTQ+ freedom, joy, and resilience. This Pride Month, we honor everyone who fought to make this city a place where you can live openly and without fear. And at a time of fiscal uncertainty, my administration is continuing critical support for LGBTQ+ residents, so that every person in San Francisco is safe.

Happy Pride, San Francisco!

This standing ovation totally brought me to tears.

On Thursday, my dad (stage 4 pancreatic cancer) started a Revolution Medicine trial building upon these results — RMC 5127, which uses the drug celebrated here, Daraxonrasib, with another drug targeting his specific KRAS mutation, G12V.

He’s nearly 2 years into his fight with pancreatic cancer and we have personally felt the impact of this watershed moment. It is a lifeline.

To the incredible, stalwart, brilliant researchers and folks bringing these discoveries to life - thank you. Thank you thank you thank you.

To everyone complaining about Gen Z, let's take a look at the evidence:

Young adults today are more empathetic, less narcissistic, more open-minded, more inclusive, and more patient than their predecessors. Bullying and drug use are also down.

The kids might be all right.
