Former Hogan & Lovells partner turned White House special counsel (in the Trump I regime) Ty Cobb is back on the cable news circuit to make some biting comments about his former boss. Cobb left the hallowed halls of Biglaw to join the first Trump administration, but he quickly left. Since then, he's taken to the airwave with his signature facial hair with a folksy way of cutting through the right-wing BS.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and other close allies of President Donald Trump fumed on Wednesday after reporters went around that Iranian state TV broadcast an image threatening to assassinate the president. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported on the image of the 2024 Butler rally assassination attempt on President Trump that included the caption, This time it will not miss the target. The New York Post quickly pushed out a viral story headlined, Iran issues sickening assassination threat against Trump.

Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham's latest sit-down with President Donald Trump has sparked applause from both sides of the political spectrum. In the interview, which aired in two parts this week, Ingraham pressed Trump on everything from work visas to Trump's strength in building ballrooms. She also took a tour of recent White House improvements. An exchange between Trump and Ingraham about the shortage of talent in America riled many in Trump's MAGA base. Left-leaning CNN media reporter Brian Stelter called the interview fascinating.

Phillip shared her thoughts on CNN's Table for Five on Saturday morning. Honestly, it's not unfair to say, if President Obama is going to write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he should acknowledge the president who brokered it, she said. Her comment comes two days after Obama posted on X, saying, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight.

Netanyahu called Kirk an extraordinary friend of Israel, continuing his sentiment from a Wednesday tweet in which he referred to the commentator as a lion-hearted friend of Israel who fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place.

The political and media world was stunned when news broke on Wednesday afternoon that Kirk had been shot during an event at Utah Valley University by a shooter who remains at large. Minutes after the shooting and hours before news broke that Kirk died from the injuries he sustained in that shooting Troye joined Acosta and Jan. 6 cop Harry Dunn on a hastily-organized episode of The Jim Acosta Show. All three were shocked and dismayed by the news, which was still unfolding.

And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run. He would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as poisonous disloyalty, even if my only message was: Don't let the other guy win. It's Joe and Jill's decision. We all

If you happened to be idling by the U.S. Open practice courts on Monday, you might have overheard the collective gasp when world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz emerged for his practice session looking like a slimmed-down Private Pyle. Or maybe the idea was Furiosa of Mad Max. Or David Beckham circa Y2K. Whichever way you spin it, tennis's boy wonder had chopped off all his hair.

PSAKI: Trump has surrounded himself with people who already treat him like a dictator. And I was going to try to describe for you just how sycophantic this cabinet meeting today was, how much it would make North Korean leader Kim Jong Un or Russian President Putin blush. But my attempt to summarize this meeting, just no matter how hard I tried, just could simply not do it justice. And this is one of those things you really have to see for yourself.

If it seems like a daunting task, that's because it is, according to Times reporter Calum Marsh, who spoke with multiple fitness experts to find out just how practical the challenge is for the everyday American. And the experts agreed, saying the Pete & Bobby Challenge is not something to just jump into. In addition, Jess Hviid Skov, a gym owner and former sergeant in the Danish army, criticized Hegseth and Kennedy for their form on the pull-ups, which he says falls short of military standards.
