The U.S. Supreme Court for the first time on Monday recognized that ex-presidents have immunity from prosecution for certain actions taken in office, as it threw out a judicial decision rejecting Donald Trump's bid to shield himself from criminal charges involving his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss. The court ruled 6-3 that while former presidents enjoy immunity for actions they take within their constitutional authority, they do not for actions...

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that former President Donald Trump is entitled to immunity from federal prosecution for official actions he took while in office, a landmark decision in the height of an election season that could further delay the start of his criminal trial in Washington, D.C. The 6-3 decision tosses out a ruling from the federal appeals court in Washington that concluded Trump is not entitled to broad immunity from criminal charges stemming from an...

President Joe Biden‘s 2024 reelection campaign released a new ad on Monday aimed at damage control following the president’s poor debate performance last week. Biden stumbled through much of his debate last Thursday with former President Donald Trump, igniting a panic among national Democrats. The president huddled with his family at Camp David over the weekend but plans to stay in the race despite calls from pundits and party officials for him to make way for a younger...

Black marker in hand, Nick Baar returned to the whiteboard. The newly minted math tutor wrote an equation for the eighth-graders in front of him: 25 x 199 The rules were simple: No calculators or pencils allowed. Baar wanted to see if his students at Perry Street Preparatory, a charter school in Northeast Washington, could solve the problem in their heads. They had breezed through an earlier problem — 25 x 200 — but now appeared stumped. The group sat in silence. One boy spoke up. He...

In the aftermath of Joe Biden’s debate debacle, there is one constant: Dr. Jill’s delusional self-belief that she can save the day.  Under the thrall of her Rasputin-like adviser Anthony Bernal, the first lady is acting as if she is the candidate — at the expense of her husband and the country.  She is the keeper of Biden delusions.

Several U.S. military bases in Europe have been placed on heightened alert over possible terrorist attacks, with Army officials elevating their protection level to condition “Charlie” until further notice. Threat condition “Charlie” indicates military officials received intelligence indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting of U.S. personnel or facilities is likely, according to the Army’s website. Some U.S. bases in Europe issued community alerts, including the Army’s...

The European Commission has accused Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta of breaching the EU’s new digital laws with an advertising model that charges users for ad-free versions of Facebook and Instagram. Meta launched a “pay or consent” model last year in an effort to comply with the bloc’s data privacy rules, under which users pay a monthly fee for an ad-free version of Facebook or Instagram that does not use their personal data for advertising purposes. If users do not pay, their data is...

A federal appeals court will allow a key part of President Joe Biden’s student loan relief plan to resume as the legal challenges against it unfold. In a Sunday ruling, the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals granted the Biden administration’s request to stay an order from last week that temporarily blocked a provision of its Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan.

President Biden is extending overtime protections to 1 million workers who make less than the median individual salary and is vowing to take more action if reelected.

Matthew Ables’ family had a Magic Kingdom coupon book from 1978 sitting in a desk drawer and he thought it was an old souvenir. "It's been collecting dust since before I was born and I always assumed it was an old family keepsake until I realized that it's never been used and there's no expiration date," he said while inspecting the ticket book with a magnifying glass, in a TikTok video with over 9 million views. “Which means I've either found the golden ticket here, or I'm delusional thinking that the Mouse is going to let me use it to get inside nearly half a century later,” he continued.So, he flew to Orlando, Florida, to see if it would work.I tried getting into Disney World using a 46 year old ticket #disneyworld #disney #themepark #funny #fyp @matthewables I tried getting into Disney World using a 46 year old ticket #disneyworld #disney #themepark #funny #fyp Upon arriving at a ticket booth at the Magic Kingdom, Matthew got nervous because the woman who worked there began "aggressively" stamping “VOID” on his coupon book and then left. Luckily, she returned with a yellow ticket he could use to get into the park.It’s fantastic that Disney honored the ticket even though it was 46 years old. Especially because today, that would have cost $164, which shows that Disney World prices have risen much, much higher than inflation.If ticket prices rose with inflation, it would only cost $37.64 to get into the Magic Kingdom in 2024.Some of the commenters on the video noted that people showing up with extremely old tickets isn’t uncommon at Disney parks.
