NEW AD: Today on House Hunters, Ken Paxton is shopping for a new house. Will he buy the three-story luxury lodge in Oklahoma? The condos at a wellness resort in Utah? The ocean-view property in Hawaii? (Spoiler alert: He won’t take one — he’ll take 15.)

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

On the final day of Pope Leo XIV's four-day visit to France, which has drawn crowds of French Catholics, the pontiff decried the 'increasingly uncivilized' state of international relations and urged Europe to help 'break this cycle.'

While we're on the subject of Trump talking about 9/11, a few years ago I adjudicated his in-the-moment boast that he was the owner of the tallest building in lower Manhattan after the towers fell. He wasn't.

Analysis | On 9/11, Trump pointed out he now had the tallest building in Lower Manhattan. He didn’t.
Trump's odd boast on the day of the attacks wasn't even accurate.
