I know we normalize everything this thoroughly abnormal man does but to reiterate: the president is SUING a newspaper over a poll result he doesn’t like and claims not to believe.

He is suing over a poll. Insanity. 25th Amendment territory. Again.
Trump says he's adding his bad poll numbers to his lawsuit against the Times. Deeply embarrassing stuff.

The open letter says extreme wealth is polluting politics, driving social exclusion, and fuelling the climate emergency.

Signed by people from 24 countries, it calls on global leaders to close the growing gap between the super-rich and the rest of us.
