Biden tells Trump to ‘get a life’ over storm misinformation, promises Milton survivors they’ll get the help they need

US President Joe Biden said that the federal government was rushing to help those affected by Hurricane Milton — and had a stark message for his predecessor, who has been spreading falsehoods about the federal response. Asked by reporters after his remarks at the White House whether he had spoken with former president Donald Trump, Biden responded indignantly: "Are you kidding me?" He then looked at the camera with a message directly for his predecessor: "Mr President Trump — former President Trump — get a life, man. Help these people."

Donald Trump picked up where he left off back in July when a gunman tried to assassinate him but only struck his ear before he raised his fist and shouted "Fight!" and was whisked away with blood across his face.

Murdoch family holds its breath as future of media empire hangs in the balance

The fate of Rupert Murdoch's vast media empire, including Fox News, is now in the hands of a Reno probate commissioner, who will decide whether the 93-year-old media mogul can change his succession plan to preserve the right-wing editorial bent of his influential outlets. Murdoch and his eldest children descended on a Reno courthouse to appear for evidentiary hearings in a secret trial to determine whether the 93-year-old can alter the family trust that he established decades ago, giving his four oldest children equal votes over the future of his conservative media empire after he dies. Murdoch wants to amend the trust so that his eldest son and chosen successor, Lachlan, will remain in charge for decades to come. Rupert Murdoch, centre, and his wife Elena Zhukov...
