The Cabinet member defended Biden after being asked, “What do you say to people who are concerned about his age, and slip-ups like the one he had today?” by CNN host Kaitlan Collins. “Well, what I’d say is I wish you could be in a room with him, the way I often am, seeing how he is simultaneously focused, on a big-picture vision, and very focused on details,” Buttigieg said. “Look, this is...

Joe Biden stopped by the MSNBC studio on Thursday and did a live 20-minute interview with Nicolle Wallace. When the interview ended, Biden shook Wallace's hand and walked off the set while Wallace was throwing it to commercial. As noted in the below tweets, this is being spun as Biden wandering off like he's lost by certain parties in the media.

LONDON - A porcelain urinal is the most influential work of modern art, according to a survey released Wednesday. The poll of 500 arts figures ranked French surrealist Marcel Duchamp's 1917 piece "Fountain" — an ordinary white, porcelain urinal — more influential than Pablo Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," Andy Warhol's screen prints of Marilyn Monroe and "Guernica," Picasso's searing depiction of the devastation of war.
