- Blockbuster Authors Reveal Jeff Bezos and Trump Ripped Washington Post Reporters...
Jeff Bezos and President Donald Trump took turns complaining about how bad The Washington Post is during a mutual venting session right before the president’s second term started, according to star New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The duo wrote about the Bezos-Trump conversation in their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump; and they were both on MS NOW’s Morning Joe on Friday to talk about it. Swan said Bezos complained to Trump that the WaPo staff was “terrible” during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago in December 2024. He added both men were “commiserating” over how much the paper had fallen off, in their view. Haberman said it was “wild” to find out about the two complaining together over dinner. She said both men probably had “different reasons” for hating on the paper, but that they were united in their disdain. “I didn’t realize how Bezos actually felt about the Washington Post as an investment,” Haberman said a moment earlier. “This is a storied newspaper that, you know, helped bring down Richard Nixon, and Bezos is describing it to Trump over an intimate dinner during the transition as his ‘worst financial investment ever.'” Bezos has been a bit more public about his desire to push the paper he owns in a different direction over the last few years. He revamped the opinion page in early 2025, saying it would focus on “two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” And Bezos reportedly fumed about former CEO Will Lewis partying it up in San Francisco during Super Bowl Week earlier this year, right as he was laying off hundreds of employees at the paper. Lewis left the paper soon after. Haberman and Swan’s appearance on Morning Joe comes as they are making the media rounds to promote their new book. They told the show that despite the dinner where they both bashed the Washington Post, there were other times were Trump mocked Bezos and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for “sucking up” to him. Swan said Tesla boss Elon Musk especially got a kick out of the “first class groveling” from his tech rivals.

Screenshot via ESPN Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has quickly become social media’s latest meme obsession thanks to a 22-second finger-pointing moment from a heated game. During Monday’s WNBA game between the Fever and Phoenix Mercury, which ended with the Fever winning 86-77, Fever player Caitlin Clark and Phoenix’s DeWanna Bonner exchanged words during the fourth quarter and had to be separated. Cunningham got into it on the court with Bonner just moments later and at one point Bonner pointed at Cunningham and Cunningham did it right back, holding an expressionless, finger-pointing session for about 22 seconds. Both players received technical fouls and Cunningham’s moment became so popular, she’s already been seen taking photos with fans doing the finger point. Fans tonight already asking Sophie to pose for photos with the point #WNBAonUSA | Fever pic.twitter.com/y49UHEHgm9 — USA Sports (@usasports) June 24, 2026 Corporations, politicians, commentators, and more have all gotten in on the fun.

We are big fans of Sophie around here,” sports commentator Pat McAfee said about the moment, describing Cunningham as a protector of sorts for Clark on the Fever team — a team Bonner previously played for. He called it a “PERFECT response” from Cunningham in the moment. This was a PERFECT response from Sophie Cunningham..

The Supreme Court announced a pair of 6-3 decisions on Thursday, one (Mullin v. Al Otro Lado) involving asylum-seekers arriving at the border and another (Mullin v. Doe) on the rescission of Temporary Protected Status. On Thursday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel that included Sunshine, Keith Boykin, Amanda Litman, Joe Borelli, Raul Reyes, and Patrick McEnroe to discuss the latter case. After Boykin and Sunshine got into it over what Boykin called her “abhorrent” take, Sunshine repeatedly tried to interrupt his followup comments. Boykin called her out, and Phillip stepped in to tell her to pipe down: SUNSHINE: 11-year-old boy killed by a Haitian immigrant under TPS with no American driver’s license, who rammed his car into a bus, killed 11-year-old Aiden and injured 20 schoolchildren. Who is this good for? Not the Haitians. Not the American people. BOYKIN: I love how they cherry-pick isolated cases and forget the fact that people who are immigrants actually commit fewer crimes than people who are residents in this country. But getting back to the point of this discussion about Haiti, first of all, I’m so glad that you’re concerned about Haiti right now and the alleged brain drain, but the U.S. State Department says — would you let me speak? Because I let you speak. The U.S. State Department says that it’s actually not safe for Americans to travel to Haiti right now. So, you want to dump these people into our country, where even our own State Department and the Trump administration says it’s not safe. But the larger problem is that this is a country that is now governed by a racist foreign policy and a racist immigration policy. At the same time, Stephen Miller is out here claiming that we don’t we don’t allow anybody, for him, into this country for asylum anymore. The doors are closed. We’re allowing white South Africans to come to this country. Those are the only people who can come to this country right now, white South Africans. But 350,000 Haitian Americans, who are Black, can’t stay here even though they have been here, many of them for many years, they can’t stay here. They’re tax-paying people. They are law-abiding people. They are people who actually do jobs and create jobs.… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Maggie Haberman: Trump White House ‘Never Quite Recovered’ From Elon MuskThe New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said President Donald Trump’s second administration “never quite recovered” from Elon Musk’s involvement during the early months of the president’s second stint in the White House. Haberman made the claim during an interview on MS NOW’s Morning Joe on Friday. She was on the show alongside her fellow NYT reporter and co-author Jonathan Swan, as the two promoted their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. “You had Elon Musk — and we get into this in great detail [in the book] — essentially serving not as a co-president, but as a co-president for parts of the first four months or so,” Haberman said. “And that created so much destabilization of this government that I think they also never quite recovered.” Haberman did not go into more detail on that, adding it was a topic for “another time.” But the Tesla and SpaceX boss came up again a minute later. Swan said Musk enjoyed watching his tech rivals Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg “sucking up” to Trump. He said Musk joked to Trump about their “first-class groveling,” which included Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez sending a selfie to Trump and thanking him for dinner, and Zuckerberg sending a letter to the president where one of his kids praised the “golden age of America.” The Trump-Musk relationship was big news in the early days of the president’s second administration, with Musk spearheading the new Department of Government Efficiency. Musk and Trump appeared to be old pals during an interview with Sean Hannity in February 2025, but things turned sour a few months later when Musk left the administration and accused the president of not releasing more files on Jeffrey Epstein because Trump “is in the Epstein files.” In the months before, Tesla’s stock took a big hit — something Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) celebrated — and Teslas were vandalized from coast-to-coast because of Musk’s ties to the Trump administration. Trump and Musk seem to be getting along better again, though, after publicly reuniting at the Charlie Kirk memorial service last September. As for Haberman and Swan, they’ve been making the media rounds to promote their new book. You can read more juicy details from it by clicking here.

- Scott Pelley Signs With CAA After His ’60 Minutes’ Ouster
(Photo by Paul Hennessy / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) Scott Pelley has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) just weeks after his dramatic departure from CBS News — marking his first major career move following a bitter split from the network after 37 years. The powerhouse agency will represent the former 60 Minutes correspondent as he looks toward the next phase of his career after his high-profile firing earlier this month, according to reports confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. There has been a great deal of industry speculation about what the 68-year-old Pelley will do next. This move suggests that he’s not planning to sit on the sidelines, and is looking to make a big splash. His new signing with CAA places him alongside former 60 Minutes colleague Lesley Stahl, who is also represented by the agency. The signing comes after a turbulent exit that thrust Pelley into a public clash with CBS News’ new leadership. Pelley, who worked at the show for almost four decades, was fired shortly after confronting newly appointed 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton during a staff meeting over the direction of the storied newsmagazine and the influence of new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. According to previously reported accounts of the meeting, Pelley questioned Bilton’s qualifications to lead the flagship program and accused Weiss of dismantling it. He described Weiss’ early leadership as “murdering 60 Minutes.” “She does not love this place; she was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that,” he reportedly told Bilton. Bilton later accused Pelley of undermining his leadership, writing in a letter that the veteran correspondent had “hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt.” Soon after, CBS News terminated Pelley’s contract. Pelley subsequently launched a blistering public attack on the network’s new management, alleging editorial interference and political pressure inside one of America’s most influential news programs. In a statement released after his firing, he claimed management instructed him to “inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story” and said he had refused those directions. ——The post Scott Pelley Signs With CAA After His ’60 Minutes’ Ouster first appeared on Mediaite.

Behar made the comments Wednesday on ABC’s The View as the panel discussed a string of Democratic primary victories by congressional candidates endorsed by Mamdani, the democratic socialist mayor of New York City. “I’m not scared of the term,” Behar said, arguing that government-backed services already form part of everyday American life. “Social Security is a democratic socialism. Partly unemployment insurance is. The people who pick up your garbage, the people who take the fire out of your house. All of these are democratic socialism.” Behar also argued Republicans have weaponized the term “democratic socialism.” The remarks prompted a scathing response from former deputy FBI director turned MAGA pundit Dan Bongino, who torched Behar and claimed she fundamentally misunderstood socialism. “The reason socialism remains popular with a class of generally stupid people, I don’t know any other way to say it, is because they just refuse to learn what it is. Socialism is the government control of the means of production,” Bongino said during an appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime. He continued: “So when you get a dunce cap wearer like Joy Behar goes, like, ‘You know, we built a road and there’s like an ambulance, so we all love socialism,’ you should ask a question, well, does the government control the asphalt business? Does the government control the construction of ambulances? Because if they don’t, then that’s not socialism.” Mocking the ABC host he added: “Read a freaking book sometime. It doesn’t hurt. You know, Elon [Musk’s] got the Grok thing. You can ask it a question. It’ll actually give you — if your intelligence is not great, then you can go try the artificial kind. It’s like a surrogate brain. It does the work for you, Joy.” “Socialism is popular because it appeals to imbeciles who just don’t want to do their homework,” he railed as host Jesse Watters laughed.
