Tony, we have now the hottest country in the world, and a year and a half ago, our country was dead. We had a dead country. You wouldn't have a job right now. If she got in, you probably wouldn't have a job right now. Your boss, who's an amazing guy, might be bust, okay? Might be what? Dokoupil asked. Might be bust. I doubt it in his case, but you never know, Trump continued.

Keir Starmer has been offered a place on the Gaza peace board set up by Donald Trump as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. The prime minister was asked to sit on the board by a senior member of the Trump administration. The Guardian has been told that Starmer is expected to accept but has not yet received a formal invitation, while conversations about the exact makeup of the board are continuing.

LAWRENCE O`DONNELL, MS NOW HOST: Good evening, Rachel. We have both senators from Arizona tonight, Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego. And I should note, Senator Kelly striking back at Pete Hegseth today, filing a lawsuit against Hegseth today, making Hegseth a defendant now on their issue. And Senator Elizabeth Warren`s going to join us. And she was already going to join us. We`re already had that arranged before she got her very first phone call ever today from guess who?

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

President Donald Trump said Monday that he'll impose a tariff of 25% on any country that does business with Iran. "Effective immediately, any Country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. This story is breaking. Check back for updates.

The scene in the East Room of the White House last Friday was almost like something out of a medieval court. At the center was an emperor U.S. President Donald Trump euphoric after his country's military operation in which U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas, and surrounded by his top advisers. Around him were executives from the major multinational oil companies, who had come from around the world to pay homage and vie for a piece of Venezuela's energy sector.

The cause of this wholesale destruction is, of course, Trump himself, who has ruined America with his "staff of wannabees, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters [sic], inexperienced leaders who only know how to lie to keep favor with the Trump falseness...," Young contends. The legend musician goes on to ponder as to how exactly we elected "these creeps who have no spine, no values, no conscience, no way to save the USA."

Newsom has been trolling Trump on the X account "Governor Newsom Press Office" by posting messages in Trump's style as a way to mock the president. For example, the account has been posting messages in all-caps with boastful messages that make little sense. Fox commentators continue to complain about Newsom's lack of character and professionalism, seemingly unaware of the irony.

In Minnesota, the vice president suggested that Renee Good, who was killed by this ICE officer was part of a broad left-wing network, The reporter said. What has your team told you about this broad left-wing network? Who is in charge of it? Who is part of it? What is it called? Well, I haven't seen the vice president's statement but he's generally very accurate I hate to say, Trump said.

We've known about the mendacity for years consider the 30,573 documented falsehoods from the president's first term, culminating in the big lie, his claim to have won the 2020 election but the examples of bracing candour are fresher. This week both began and ended with the US president speaking the shocking truth. At a press conference to celebrate his capture of the Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, Trump announced that from now on the US would run that country,

Gustavo Petro thought this past week that at any moment an assault force could land on the roof of the Casa de Narino, the Colombian presidential residence, and burst into his office. He doesn't have a bunker to run to, as Nicolas Maduro tried to do a week ago before he was captured and placed on a helicopter bound for the United States. The 65-year-old Colombian president felt threatened by Donald Trump's insinuations that something similar could happen to him.

If you go back a long way, the sitting president, whether it's Democrat or Republican, always loses the midterm, even if they've done well. Almost always. And, you know, you'd think it'd be like a 50/50 deal. Even if the president's done a great job. I think we've done a great job. We've done maybe the best job ever in the first year, but they always seem to lose the midterm.

Until recently, Donald Trump was consistent about this: The time for the United States to police the world, enforcing laws and norms, was over. "We are going to take care of this country first before we worry about everybody else in the world," he told The New York Times in 2016. "We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world," he said during a press conference with Nigeria's president in 2018.

Donald and the Trump regime desperately want to pretend either that January 6 was a positive thing, or to pretend that it never happened at all,

The first time Donald Trump took the oath of office, I felt an overwhelming sense of doom. My whole body somehow felt both impossibly heavy and utterly empty at the same time, like it couldn't decide whether it'd be safer to sink into the ground or float away into the clouds. I'll forever remember when Sean Spicer - Trump's first in what became a revolving door of White House press secretaries - stormed up to the podium, red-faced and fuming,

President Donald Trump is opining on some shocking news out of the NFL giving his complete and total endorsement to a surprising new coaching free agent. In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump spoke out in support of fired Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh who reportedly has no shortage of suitors after the Ravens dismissed him following an 18-year run with the team. HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST. Trump wrote. HE, AND HIS BROTHER, ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!

Some comics go the route of I'm going to just say F Trump' all the time or that's their comedy. And I think well now, a little bit, you're being co-opted because you're so angry. You've been lulled. It's like a siren leading you into the rocks. You've been lulled into just saying F Trump. F Trump. F Trump. Screw this guy.' And I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger.

In a bizarre, rambling speech where his words would trail off and seemingly contradict one another, Trump performed an exaggerated impression of contenders in a weightlifting contest. Firstly, he pretended to be a cis female athlete who struggled to lift the weight, using over-the-top grunting and groaning to showcase the effort he believed women have to go through to lift something heavy. "Drops the thing, walks off the stage crying. Her mother's crying, her father's crying," he states.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has a hard-earned skip in his step. After nearly a decade of obsequious, showy servility to the president he once warned would be the death knell of the Republican Party, Graham is getting what he wants: an interventionist Republican president merrily drawing up a list of baddies to take down, starting with captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
