SCOTUS investigation failed to find the leaker.

Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social that “they’ll never find out, & it’s important that they do. So, go to the reporter & ask him/her who it was. If not given the answer, put whoever in jail until the answer is given. You might add the publisher and editor to the list”.

Mr Trump added that authorities should “stop playing games” because such a leak mustn’t be allowed to take place.

“It won’t take long before the name of this slime is revealed! Arrest the reporter, publisher, editor – you’ll get your answer fast. Stop playing games and wasting time!” he said.

SCOTUS investigation failed to find the leaker.

They failed to admit they'd found the leaker.

Robert's purpose in the investigation was try to restore some public confidence in the court. So when they found the leaker was Alito, they can't exactly admit publicly that it was one of the justices themselves, because that will undermine public confidence in the court. In related news it's being reported that the justices are now having difficulties working with each other.

Oath Keepers attorney says Trump and his allies are ‘morally responsible’ for seditious conspiracy verdict

After a jury found four members of the far-right group the Oath Keepers guilty of sedition-related charges for their roles organising an attack on the US Capitol, a defense attorney for one of the members said Trump and his allies are “morally responsible” for advancing the bogus election fraud claims that fuelled the attack.

Scott Weinberg, an attorney for David Moerschel, said after today’s verdict that the former president and his allies pushed stolen election “nonsense” in advance of the January 6 attack.

Trump is still pushing the same old nonsense, and plenty folks still believe him, and some of those are helping to govern the country (or not).

No. Ideally for news headlines that are not covered by other threads.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Hunter trying to paint himself as a victim and wanting daddy to sic the government on any and everyone involved with exposing his laptop.

Not to mention the hilarious ineptitude on the part of his lawyers first declaring that the laptop is his but then walking it back the next day.

It is of course the ‘weaker sex’ problem and it should not be controversial that transgender men are not permitted to compete in women’s sports. The same reasoning cannot be applied to every situation, including, for example, rules about water closets and prisons.

Just picking a nit here, but does being male really give someone a huge advantage in surfing? I don't surf but it seems to me that it is mostly balance and dexterity, not physical strength.

Not a surfer but it seems that upper body strength could play a significant role in paddling out and gaining enough momentum to catch the wave. Especially in the stamina required to repeatedly do that thoughout the competition.

Honestly, in a way, I can't really blame Jill. I mean...

Still, did they think that the State of the Union has a Kiss Cam or something?

Maybe he's attracted to power.
