There's the possibility that Thomas and I are talking to in Congress to build a bipartisan coalition to say, look, it's not just these three interviews that concern Donald Trump.

They just have not produced these things.

Sir Ed Davey has urged Sir Keir Starmer to sue Donald Trump for $100 billion, claiming the former US President has "damaged our country".

My advice to Keir Starmer is to sue Donald Trump for $100billion for the damage he's caused to Scotland and our country. It's the only language he understands.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is not satisfied with an apology he received from the city of Beverly Hills on Thursday, days after police shut down an event he was hosting in the city's Trousdale Estates neighborhood.

Former CNN host Don Lemon predicted President Donald Trump's administration will not stop pursuing him, even if it means they have to go around a judge. Lemon sat down with Alisyn Camerota this week just as his fellow former CNNer launched her new gig with Scripps News as a special events anchor and contributor. Lemon is currently facing pushback (and possible legal consequences) for his coverage of a group of Minnesota anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a church service in St. Paul.

The idea for Flipcause was simple. Starting in 2012, the Oakland startup provided technical tools for thousands of nonprofit organizations, handling the work of online storefronts, donation systems and ticketing pages. Millions of donor dollars flowed through Flipcause's tech to nonprofits focused on just about every societal issue. Then, this year, much of that money suddenly stalled under Flipcause's control, as evidenced by testimonials from client companies on social media, with the Better Business Bureau, and to SFGATE.

It's only a matter of time before someone with a similar injury dies if they bleed out from their femoral artery. I now have metal in my leg for life holding it together. I think Lime know they have a problem with the heavy frame that is causing serious injuries like mine.

Officers at all levels have endured sustained external criticism, internal upheaval, and immense operational pressure. Your letter risks destroying what remains of confidence and goodwill among those you rely upon to deliver your vision.
