1+ hour, 45+ min ago (393+ words) House Speaker Mike Johnson served up one of his most excruciating moments yet during a sit-down with Stephen Miller's wife. Katie Miller dropped a teaser for an upcoming episode of her podcast featuring Johnson, 53, and his wife, Kelly, 52, on Monday. In a snippet highlighted in the teaser, Miller, 34, asks the Republican leader if he's familiar with country singer Jelly Roll, 40. Johnson gives an offended look and lets out a scoff, before awkwardly flashing a "shaka" hand'the "hang loose" sign rooted in Hawaiian culture'in what appears to be a hard-to-watch attempt at trendiness. "Do I know who'yes, we have selfies together!" he says as Miller and Kelly break into laughter. The Louisiana congressman did indeed post selfies with Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, after they met at a UFC fight at Madison Square Garden shortly after Donald…...

9+ hour, 40+ min ago (541+ words) Fox News host Laura Ingraham blamed Pam Bondi's Justice Department for the humiliating dismissal of charges against Donald Trump's enemies'and not the president's former personal attorney who botched the case. Lindsay Halligan, a former beauty pageant contestant and insurance lawyer with no prior prosecutorial experience, took over as interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in September. Her predecessor, veteran prosecutor Erik Siebert, had been forced out over his refusal to charge New York state Attorney General Letitia James with mortgage fraud. Within weeks of being sworn in, Halligan secured indictments against James and another Trump enemy, former FBI Director James Comey. The indictments, however, were revealed in court to be deeply flawed, and the defendants filed motions challenging the validity of Halligan's appointment. On Monday a federal judge threw out the case without prejudice'meaning James and Comey can…...

12+ hour, 5+ min ago (333+ words) Bill Maher wants people to lay off Donald Trump over his White House ballroom. "First of all, lots of people have changed the White House. Second of all, it's just a f---ing building," said Maher, 69. "Something they never put in the left press: We are America. They shouldn't be having state dinners under a tent." A White House press release from July estimated the final ballroom would be roughly 90,000 square feet with seating for 650. "America is a pretty big country," Maher said, "We're kind of a successful band. I think we should have, when we have state dinners and s--t, I don't think it should be on the grass. I do think there should be a floor. Call me crazy. But again, don't give a s--t." Trump, 79, demolished the White House's East Wing in October to prep for the $350 million ballroom's…...

12+ hour, 45+ min ago (607+ words) Lara Trump has questioned whether her father-in-law, President Donald Trump, called a journalist "piggy" despite a recording of the incident being posted by his administration. The president had been speaking to reporters on November 14 when Bloomberg White House correspondent Catherine Lucey asked him a question about the Epstein files. "Quiet, quiet, piggy," he said, seen in the footage of the gaggle on Air Force One released by the White House. Despite the evidence, former Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, 43, denied it was definitely what he'd said during an appearance on Club Random with Bill Maher. Maher said he was writing an editorial touching on political division. He planned to say it was "mostly liberals" who needed to "get over yourselves" and eat dinner with family, no matter their political views. But Trump's actions, like the "piggy" outburst, made it…...

Strategist Doug Heye told CNN News Central on Monday that the dysfunction on Capitol Hill has turned Congress into a "bad workplace." "We could have had this same conversation last week, last year, eight, 10, 12 years ago. What we've seen in Congress, over now a generation, is it has become a bad workplace," Heye said. Heye, who served as deputy chief of staff for communications for then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, recalled a particular moment of misery. "I remember very clearly walking to my car at 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2012. As the clock was striking midnight, I was leaving the office, and I thought, "I hate this job," Heye continued. "And what we see is…...

20+ hour, 53+ min ago (527+ words) Americans are overwhelmingly rejecting President Donald Trump's insistence that prices are dropping and inflation is barely a factor'a disconnect that drags down his standing on the economy, polls show. There's a stark gap between the White House's glossy economic language and what respondents say they are living through, the CBS News/YouGov found. Trump has been claiming prices are down, that there is "almost no inflation," and that everything is more or less fine. Most Americans'60 percent'say he describes prices and inflation as better than they really are, including four in 10 Republicans. Ratings for the overall economy slid again, hitting the lowest mark of 2025, with most respondents saying prices are still going up.
