Sally Buzbee, the executive editor of The Washington Post since 2021, has stepped down, publisher and CEO William Lewis announced late Sunday.

She will be replaced temporarily by Matt Murray, the former editor in chief of the Wall Street Journal, Lewis said. After the presidential election in November, Robert Winnett, a veteran of Telegraph Media Group, will take over.

I'm wondering if Trump is going to cut his Guilty Day suit into pieces and sell it like he did his Indictment Picture suit?

It would be really nice if the Israelis handled their own problems with Netanyahu rather than look to Biden and the US to resolve their issues. Biden is good, but he's not an all-powerful wizard!

Elon has had another legal blow as his lawyers failed to get a defamation suit filed against him thrown out.

Ben Brody, a Jewish college student, sued the billionaire in October after Musk, Tesla's CEO and the owner of the social media platform X, incorrectly identified him as a member of a neo-Nazi group in Oregon who took part in a violent street brawl.

@Nonilex Trump needed a stand-in for Ivanka so......here's Tiffany! Surprised he remembered her existence! I wonder what he bribed (threatened) her with?

Okay, now let's consider how ridiculous submitting anything Trump submitted to/for the IRS as evidence is; he's an admitted tax cheat.

His logic is lost on me. Very obvious that he's playing to an audience of one. To guarantee his fee is paid by the none bill skirter!
