Sarandos brushed off the president's threat as Netflix closes in on a merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. He likes to do a lot of things on social media, Sarandos told BBC Radio 4's Today on Monday. He added: This is a business deal. It's not a political deal. This deal is run by the Department of Justice in the U.S. and regulators throughout Europe and around the world.

JPMorgan Chase acknowledged for the first time that it closed the bank accounts of President Donald Trump and several of his businesses in the political and legal aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol, the latest development in a legal saga over the controversial practice of debanking. The acknowledgment came in a court filing submitted this week in Trump's lawsuit against the bank and its leader, Jamie Dimon.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yesterday, I was at a steel plant, as you know, and I went to a great, great place, great plant, great, wonderful people. And they were telling me, I said to them, you were there, a lot of the press in this room. Of course, I don't think the plane's big enough to take the press in this room. But a lot of the press right here, we're in Georgia.

So first of all, I led a team, ran a business, that exposed official corruption, war crimes, abuses of power all over the world. We worked with people who smuggled the truth out of repressive societies with authoritarian governments, places where opposition figures were rounded up and arrested. Places where journalists critical of the government faced official persecution, places where television hosts had to deal with official censorship, said Ossoff.

The rumors were sparked by claims from Mark Christopher Lee, a UK-based director and ufologist, who told Daily Mail 'an advisor to the Trump administration' told him that the president 'has been given authority by the other major world leaders to make this announcement.' However, Lee said it has been moved up to coincide with Roswell's 79th anniversary on July 8. He told the Daily Mail that 'new intelligence developments have made it a matter of urgency.'

I don't think it surprised me in the moment of the attack. I mean, the president has called me a lot of names. He's gone after me and tried to deflect from the questions that we're asking. But in that moment, you, know, he is someone who is often politically savvy or tied in with what his base wants. In that moment, I was thinking, you, know, if he had said that to, in response to a different question,

PSAKI: Let me ask you about something. Trump was asked about the Republican candidates in the Texas race on Air Force One last night, and he kind of said, I like them all and refused to really endorse any of them. (LAUGHING) What did you make of that? Why do you think that is? (LAUGHTER) CROCKETT: I love it. There's a couple of things about this, right? A lot of people are like, there's no way Texas can do this.

PHILLIP: It comes as no surprise MAGA is having a field day with this one. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) TYRUS, FOX NEWS HOST: Move over, Kamala. AOC just cooked up her own signature word salad on the global stage. BEN SHAPIRO, HOST, THE BEN SHAPIRO SHOW: She was taking her 2028 bike out for a spin. She hit the embankment. She flipped head over heels and went all the way down the mountain. It's her fault.

In a candid discussion regarding the mechanics of President Donald Trump's hold on power, longtime Yale leadership scholar (and regular Fortune contributor) Jeffrey Sonnenfeld warned the president's chaotic style is often mistaken for incompetence when it is actually a calculated strategy. Speaking on the Raging Moderates podcast with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov, Sonnenfeld laid out the thesis of his new book, Trump's Ten Commandments, while explaining Trump is "dumb as a fox," and business leaders underestimate him at their peril.

The CBS lawyers who are now trying to tell Stephen Colbert, who can be a guest on his show, work for a parent company that agreed to pay Donald Trump $16 million to settle a frivolous lawsuit by Donald Trump against 60 Minutes, which Donald Trump had no chance of winning, absolutely zero chance of winning. But those cowardly corporate lawyers agreed to pay Donald Trump $16 million in what Stephen Colbert correctly called, A big, fat bribe.'

Our first president could have remained all-powerful but chose not to twice. In doing so, he set a standard for all presidents to live up to. Washington modeled what it means to put the good of the nation over self-interest and selfish ambition. He embodied integrity and modeled why it's worth aspiring to. He carried himself with dignity and self-restraint, honoring the office without allowing it to become invested with near-mythical powers.

A time will come-maybe in two years, maybe in three, maybe in five, but the time will come-when this country comes to its senses and realizes how dangerous and terrible Donald Trump was. Just as the Civil Rights Movement was a reckoning, and Watergate was a reckoning, and Stonewall was a reckoning, and the Suffrage Movement was a reckoning, and so many other moments in history were reckonings, someday most people will agree that Trump did deep, lasting damage to the United States.

Donald Trump is trying "to force Ukraine into a surrender deal" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that is "shameful" and "corrupt to the nth degree," Clinton said. "I believe Ukraine is fighting for our democracy and our values of freedom and civilization on the front lines, losing thousands of people and having their country destroyed by one man's mania to control them, and I think Trump either doesn't understand or could care less about that suffering," she added.

Trump, taking to his Truth Social platform on Monday afternoon, posted a long screed voicing his opposition to the so-called Gateway tunnel project between New York and New Jersey, saying it would be financially catastrophic for the region. He then turned his attention to the Penn Station matter.

He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly. And now he's being a racist, blatantly. They were supposed to deport the dangerous criminals. They were not supposed to go after small children, storm schools, bring terror upon, you know, the little kids and the women and children, not just the immigrants in the school. All the children are scared.

Former President Barack Obama broke his silence on President Donald Trump posting a video depicting both him and his wife Michelle Obama as apes, arguing there is a lack of shame among the president's supporters. Obama joined Brian Tyler Cohen for the Saturday episode of his podcast where the former president dove into a variety of issues, but he first addressed Trump's controversial video post to social media, which he's since blamed on an unidentified staffer.
