The shortlist of candidates for TIME’s 2018 Person of the Year was unveiled Monday on NBC’s Today show. Since 1927, TIME has identified the Person of the Year, recognizing the person or group of people who most influenced the news and the world — for better or for worse — during the past year. In recent years, the shortlist for Person of the Year has included the Silence Breakers of the #MeToo movement, Hillary Clinton, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Black Lives Matter activists, CRISPR scientists and Beyoncé. Here are the 10 finalists selected by TIME editors this year: Donald Trump Carolyn Kaster—AP/REX/Shutterstock President Donald Trump pauses as the crowd cheers during a rally on the eve of Election Day at Show Me Center, in Cape Girardeau, Mo., on Nov.

  • Ted Cruz’s Podcast Looks Like A Seriously Sleazy Side Hustle
    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 04/28/2024 - 09:44 AM

    On Friday night, MSNBC host Chris Hayes explained why Sen. Ted Cruz’s thrice-weekly podcast “appears to be a serious ethical and campaign-finance scandal in the making.” First, Hayes pointed out that recording three podcast episodes a week is a big chunk of time away from what is supposed to be Cruz’s full-time job: representing and serving the second-most populous state in the country.

  • Trump Jurors Are Being Stalked & Threatened
    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 04/28/2024 - 09:42 AM

    As of April 26, 2024 Donald Trump hasn't stopped violating his Judge Merchan gag order. Until the punishments are strong enough to make him stop, we need to take steps to stop and punish his followers, who make threats on his behalf. Marcy Wheeler was on the Nicole Sandler show last week talking about Donald Trump's systematic threatening of his critics and how normalized political violence is for anybody who comes up against Donald Trump.

  • Barr: Trump Talked Of Having His Critics Executed To 'Blow Off Steam'
    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 04/28/2024 - 09:00 AM

    Former Attorney General Bill Barr was one of Trump's most prominent critics, but he came out this week to endorse the four-times indicted former President. Barr told CNN's Kaitlan Collins that Trump "would lose his temper" and talk about having his opponents executed, but he's OK with that because he doesn't "think" Trump would carry through with executing his rivals.
