Breaking Bad

Donald Trump's increasingly profane public language is drawing attention for breaking norms that US presidents have long observed, taking presidential swearing out of private and into open public discourse. The Guardian's analysis notes the shift as a marked change in the tone of American political speech, prompting debate about standards of presidential conduct.

Breaking Bad has been named the best television series of the 21st century in a new ranking published by The New York Times. The list of top shows has prompted widespread discussion among viewers and critics about whether the Bryan Cranston-led drama deserved the top spot, and which other series ranked highly.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has pushed back against criticism that he is a bad senator, amid frustration from fellow Democrats. He has repeatedly criticized his own party, fueling speculation that he could caucus with Republicans after the 2026 midterm elections. Speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival, Fetterman defended his record and his independent streak, insisting his bipartisan approach serves Pennsylvania voters rather than party interests.

Breaking Bad has taken the number one spot on a new ranking of the 100 best TV shows of all time. The Vince Gilligan-created crime drama, which ran from 2008 to 2013 and starred Bryan Cranston as Walter White, beat out long-running classics and newer prestige series for the top position. The list is sparking debate among viewers about whether the show deserves the crown.
