A longtime BBC anchor said the majority of board members who control the British broadcaster feel it has "a problem of institutional bias reflected in the coverage" of President Donald Trump. The BBC has been engulfed in criticism over a BBC Panorama documentary about Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, speech that he delivered before the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Critics say the documentary was misleading because it omitted Trump urging supporters to protest peacefully, and the BBC director-general Tim Davie and BBC News and Current Affairs chief Deborah Turness both stepped down in recent days amid the growing controversy. Trump’s legal team sent

Let's put politics aside, as if that were possible, and look at how the craziness of the last few days is affecting people.A week ago, President Donald Trump announced that the 42 million Americans on the SNAP nutrition program would not be getting their benefits — this against the backdrop of a government shutdown that has now reached its 40th day.This against the backdrop of millions of federal workers who have not been paid while the shutdown drags on — and many of whom live paycheck to paycheck.This against the backdrop of Trump throwing a lavish, Great Gatsby-themed Mar-a-Lago bash
