President Trump responded to a sketch from NBC's "Saturday Night Live" that mocked his national emergency declaration at the border, asking how networks can air "hit jobs without retribution" and labeling it "the real Collusion" in a Sunday morning tweet:
"Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!"
The big picture: Throughout his presidency, Trump has repeatedly attacked late-night shows and comedians — including "SNL" — for their adversarial takes on his administration.
Between March and May, discount shoe store Payless plans to close its entire American footprint, encompassing 2,100 locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as its e-commerce operation, CNN reports.
Details: Payless, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2017 and could do so for a second time this month, had more than 3,600 locations in 40 countries and over 18,000 employees before the current round of closures. The retailer's international franchises and Latin American storefronts will not be affected.
