And now that her 10-year-long divorce from her ex Jason Hoppy is over, she's still doing her best to take care of her kiddos. The Real Housewives of New York City alum opened up about "the worst thing" you can do as a parent in an emotional new interview, and we couldn't agree more. Despite how difficult it was, Frankel shared what she will "never" do: talk badly about Bry's dad. "I never talked bad in front of her. I mean, she energetically, I believe, felt it because it cracked open during the pandemic when she was 11," Frankel said. She reiterated that parents should keep any drama with your co-parents away from your kids. "It's a long road. Your kids will become cognizant, and they will understand," she said about divorce. "You…...

Speaking with the hosts of MS NOW's "Morning Joe," Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, who was mistakenly included on the Signal app where Hegseth divulged top secret details of an upcoming attack, claimed the president should not be dragging his feet when it comes to shedding his Pentagon chief.

15+ min ago (290+ words) Last week, a federal judge ruled that Lindsey Halligan was appointed interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in violation of federal law and thereby dismissed the indictments of Comey and James. While the future of Halligan's prosecutorial career remains up in the air, as of this writing, she remains listed as the top prosecutor for the Eastern District on the DOJ's website.

An appeals court panel reaffirmed this week that Alina Habba is unlawfully serving as U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey after three individuals she filed criminal charges against…...
