Rosie O'Donnell attacked White House press corps for allowing President Donald Trump to rape female colleagues when he berated them, fuming that no one has the decency to step in and defend one reporter the president branded stupid on Thursday. The comedian's remarks came during an appearance on The Jim Acosta Show on Friday, one day after the tense exchange at Mar-a-Lago in which Trump lashed out at CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes.

President Donald Trump made his entrance to the Thanksgiving celebration at his Mar-a-Lago club to a song best known as an anthem for famine relief. We Are The World could be heard playing in the background as the president, First Lady Melania Trump, and their son, Barron Trump, filed into the room to applause. Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote the song in 1985 for USA For Africa, a supergroup of music's brightest stars of the time, fundraising for humanitarian aid to the continent.

The extended rant came in the wake of the Wednesday shooting of two National Guard members who were deployed to patrol Washington, D.C. under Trump's orders, one of whom died shortly before the president spoke to U.S. troops by video on Thursday evening. A 29-year-old Afghan national who worked with the CIA during the Afghanistan War is facing charges for the shooting. The suspect emigrated as part of a program to resettle those who has helped American troops after U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In the past week, Trump's attacks on Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) have thrown the retired Navy Captain and former astronaut into the political discourse in a whole new way. While Kelly has long been a rising star on the Democrats' bench, this is his first sustained tussle with Trump. With Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth now trying to court-martial Kelly, the fight appears far from over, and given the actual contents of the clip, Kelly looks likely to prevail.

Appearing on The Barbara Gaines Show Tuesday, Letterman who helmed the show 1982 to 1993 before moving to CBS said he was standing squarely behind his successor. I've never been more proud of Seth Meyers, he said. That's our old show, as a matter of fact. Yeah, we used to do that show, and he does a magical job.

Given the complexity of the legal issues at hand ranging from constitutional questions and the Supremacy Clause to immunity, jurisdiction, venue, speedy-trial concerns, and access to federal records and even assuming each of these issues were resolved in the State's favor, bringing this case before a jury in 2029, 2030, or even 2031 would be nothing short of a remarkable feat.

Polling analysts say the best way to get a snapshot of survey results is to look at aggregations - collections of publicly released polls that average the most recent. A single poll might be an outlier, but averages of all polls decrease the influence of outlier polls. Aggregators' methods differ, but generally they give the greatest weight to the most recent polls. Many also give greater weight to polls with more accurate track records.

He joked about sending the turkeys to an infamous prison in El Salvador that has been used to house migrants deported from the United States. He said the birds should be named Chuck and Nancy after Democratic stalwarts Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi but I would never pardon those people. Trump claimed that last year's turkey pardons, issued by President Joe Biden, were invalid because he used an autopen. Where's Hunter? he said, suggesting that his predecessor's son could once again face legal jeopardy. And all of that was before Trump turned his attention to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat who has resisted the White House's plans to deploy the National Guard in Chicago. Trump said he had a joke prepared about Pritzker, but I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it.

Donald Trump recently pointed at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One and snarled, "Quiet. Quiet, piggy." The insult came after she asked a follow-up question about Jeffrey Epstein's files, a chillingly symbolic moment, but... not exactly shocking coming from a man who's repeatedly demeaned women in public. When Lucey asked why Trump wouldn't release Epstein's files if there was nothing incriminating in them, he cut in like a bratty child and dropped that "insult."

"Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution," the lawmakers said in the video. "Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution."

He was going to cut off his ankle bracelet. And in the chaos of this fight, fight, fight demonstration that his son had called for at the last minute in his house, he was going to cut off the ankle bracelet and flee his home and race to the U.S. embassy and take refuge in the U.S. embassy and then somehow have, like the U.S. government spirit him out of the country, fly him to the U.S.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as the most openly corrupt president in American history'. This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre. I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC.

"By "denigrating the judiciary, Trump is basically trying to weaken one of the only remaining pillar that is standing up to prevent the total authoritarianism that he desires," Cobb said. "And that war is very dangerous for us all. We need a very strong judiciary, particularly at this time, where the constitutional stresses are extreme and Trump's abuses of power are unprecedented."

Similarly, having solved the Middle East and Ukraine issues with only a couple of technicalities to iron out and put an end to so many other wars as well, Donald Trump may also be tempted to sob at having run out of important tasks. And yet, just as he is about to kneel in anguish on the Oval Office carpet, he is apparently perking up at the thought of one more mighty challenge.
