5+ min ago (258+ words) President Donald Trump seized on a shocking and still-developing report about the deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, using the moment to settle political scores rather than acknowledge the gravity of the allegations. According to reports circulating late Sunday, Reiner and his wife were allegedly killed by their son. Authorities have not publicly substantiated the claims, and key details remain unclear. Nonetheless, the story spread rapidly online, prompting reactions across the political spectrum before basic facts were established. Trump responded on social media Monday morning by asserting that Reiner's long-running and very public opposition to him was the real cause of the couple's deaths. The former president framed the alleged tragedy as a byproduct of what he derisively labeled "Trump Derangement Syndrome," portraying Reiner as consumed by political animus and suggesting that this fixation led to…...

A relative neophyte took over one of the most acclaimed news brands in the world " and picked up a nine-figure payday to boot. And many new faces emerged in many new places. The definitive media figures in 2025 were the ones who adapted better than others. They aren't all pro-Trump, or anti-Trump. But what they have in common is the ability to adapt quickly to this new media world. They saw…...

A month later, the newly reconfigured NLRB ruled against Noel Canning, a Pepsi-Cola bottler and distributor, in a labor dispute after the company failed to execute a collective-bargaining agreement with a union. Noel Canning argued that the decision was illegitimate because three NLRB members had been unlawfully appointed back in January. Eventually the dispute made its way to the Supreme Court. The recess appointments clause was borne out of necessity. In the founding era, Congress would leave the Capitol for months at a time via horseback. Thus, a vacancy that arose in mid-April might otherwise stay open until Congress reconvened in December. So the Framers devised a solution: a stopgap to keep the government functioning when Congress was literally out…...
