Last night's Emmys were filled with big moments and historic firsts. JD Vance hosted Charlie Kirk's podcast following Kirk's death last week. And Trump's latest adversary is the NFL's new kickoff rule. |
Emmy wins and the moments in-between |
TV's biggest night has wrapped with newcomers "The Studio" and "The Pitt" taking home best comedy and best drama statues in their first seasons. Tramell Tillman made Emmys history as the first Black man to win best supporting actor in a drama for his performance in "Severance." And at just 15, "Adolescence" star Owen Cooper became the youngest male Emmy acting winner in history. Meanwhile, the "Gilmore Girls" reunited, Reba McEntire paid tribute to the "Golden Girls," and "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder got bleeped for her anti-ICE and pro-Palestine speech.

Everything you know about the 'divorce myth' is wrong |
Maybe you've heard the statistic that 50% of marriages end in divorce. Turns out, that's just not true. In fact, data shows most marriages don't end in divorce and rates have been in steady decline since the 1980s.

Trump's newest foe is the NFL kickoff rule |
The NFL's new-look kickoff was implemented last year, and many consider it a success. Return rates are up significantly, while injuries were also reduced. But President Trump isn't a fan, and he took to Truth Social to bemoan the change, a year and two weeks late. "'Sissy' football is bad for America, and bad for the NFL! Who comes up with these ridiculous ideas?," he wrote. 🏈 Here's what has him upset. | Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (95) greets President Donald Trump before playing against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX at Ceasars Superdome.
