Screenshot Larry David had some extremely strong criticism of President Donald Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 fight card — which was staged at the White House earlier this month. Speaking with Variety at the red carpet premiere of his new HBO show Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, the comedy icon gave a scorching response when asked for his thoughts the UFC event. “It was a travesty,” David said. “What else can you say about it? It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed to be an American.” #LarryDavid says President Donald Trump's UFC fight at the White House made him "embarrassed to be an American." pic.twitter.com/zFlCfeOwyG — Variety (@Variety) June 24, 2026 While David was unsparing in his assessment of one U.S. president’s recent venture into the entertainment world, he was far more deferential to that of former President Barack Obama — who makes an appearance in David’s show. The Seinfeld co-creator lauded the ex-president’s “perfect” comic timing. “He was really good at ad-libbing,” David said. Larry David isn’t too sure Barack Obama's role in “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness” will win him an Emmy, despite the former president's “perfect” comedic timing. “I wouldn't go that far.” pic.twitter.com/ihY5OzJw19 — Variety (@Variety) June 24, 2026 But David did pump the brakes when asked if he believed Obama’s cameo could win him an Emmy. “I wouldn’t go that far,” he said.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) President Donald Trump raged against the Senate and “four Republican losers” for delivering a stunning rebuke of his war in Iran. On Tuesday, the Senate voted 50-48 to pass a war powers resolution — which instructs the president to end the war in Iran. Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) voted with the Democrats to pass the resolution. Though the resolution is not legally binding, it is a clear rejection of the president’s actions on Iran at a time when the public’s patience appears to be growing thin. (A CBS News poll on Sunday showed 78 percent of Americans want the conflict to end immediately.) In a Truth Social post late Tuesday night, Trump lashed out at the Senate — and the four Republicans who voted with their colleagues on the other side of the aisle. “So, I have Iran on the “ropes,” ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its President, ME, and the U.S. Senate decides to have a poorly timed and meaningless War Powers Act Vote, telling the Number One Sponser (sic) of Terror in the World that the United States doesn’t like what I am doing to them, and I must stop, and by so doing has provided aid and comfort the Enemy,” Trump wrote. “Four Republican Losers voted with the Dumocrats, and Iran asked my people, ‘what does that all mean?’ These Senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!” Trump’s inclusion of Sen. Collins in the group of “Republican losers” is notable — given that she is running in a very close election in her home state of Maine. The Maine race is one of a handful which is likely to decide which party controls the Senate in 2027. Earlier this month, Trump awkwardly threw his support behind Collins, saying “she is a sane woman. And she’s a respected person.” ——The post Trump Rages Against Senate and ‘Four Republican Losers’ for Crossing Him On Iran — Accuses Them of Giving ‘Aid and Comfort to the Enemy’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Looking toward Center City Philadelphia, from Roxborough, in 2020. Credit: Rob Ekund “From a new tower standing almost 910 feet above sea level and located in the population center of the greater Philadelphia area in a region clear of the obstacles encountered in mid-city sites …” In a full-page ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer the morning of Oct. 4, 1949, TV Channel 6, then WFIL(TV), had begun transmitting from a tower at the corner of Umbria Avenue and Domino Lane in the city’s Roxborough section. The Inquirer cited a series of “extensive tests” to determine the population center of the area and the probable quality of reception. The 1949 tower is still used by two Class B FM stations in Philadelphia. It was the first tower of what would grow into a “farm” of broadcast towers. Today, Roxborough is home to approximately 16 Philadelphia FM stations and 21 TV stations, and it is unique. Similar farms serving metropolitan areas like Minneapolis’ Shoreview, Dallas’ Cedar Hill and Los Angeles’ Mount Wilson might come to mind. But at Roxborough, 13 significant towers stand within approximately a half-mile span. It’s not the highest spot in Philadelphia. Summit Street in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood takes that claim. Roxborough towers of significance plotted on a map, as of December 2025, with their respective stations. Click to enlarge. And it’s not where the city’s tall skyscrapers stand. Center City, as it’s known, is about seven miles to the southeast. Roxborough has a much more suburban feel. But if you look at a map of the Philadelphia designated market area, Center City Philadelphia is not quite the geographic center. If you factor in satellite eastern Pennsylvania markets like Allentown–Bethlehem and Reading, Roxborough is. “It just happened to fit as an ideal location,” engineer Mark Humphrey said. Timing, typically, was everything. Northwest Philly Engineer Mark Humphrey after assisting with an install of a Harris Z8HD transmitter for WXPN this June. He is an authority on the Roxborough farm. Humphrey does not consider himself Roxborough’s resident historian and he is quick to defer to the long pipeline of engineers who have come through the City of Brotherly Love. But the central New York native is an encyclopedia of knowledge for the farm. In 1984, Humphrey moved south to become chief engineer of Temple University’s 90.1 WRTI(FM) and he was thereafter connected to this part of Philadelphia.

AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin President Donald Trump reveled in George Conway’s election loss on Tuesday, noting that the attorney had gotten “CRUSHED.” Conway, the longtime Trump critic, ran as a Democrat in New York’s 12th congressional district after Rep. Jerry Nadler announced his retirement. State Rep. Micah Lasher won Tuesday’s primary, defeating state Rep. Alex Bores by about four points. In third was Kennedy family scion and weird social media poster Jack Kennedy Schlossberg. In fourth was public health researcher Nina Schwalbe. Conway finished fifth. At the time of this writing, he was at 6.1%, having about 6,200 votes out of 102,000 cast. After the primary was called, the president took to Truth Social to comment on Conway, who is the ex-husband of former Trump senior counselor Kellyanne Conway. Trump referred to Kellyanne as George’s “husband”: Wow, Mr. Kellyanne Conway, a Trump Deranged Loser at the highest level, is getting absolutely CRUSHED in the Primaries tonight. He’ll end up at about 5% of the vote in a rather weak field of young and aggressive Communists. No wonder his “husband” dumped him like a dog! This is a truly unattractive person, both inside and out. Have a nice life, George! President DJT This month, the White House issued a statement slamming one of Conway’s campaign ads in which the candidate pledged to somehow put Trump in prison. “I know you like putting your name on everything, from your plane to the Kennedy Center,” Conway said in the spot. “But the only thing your name is going to be left on when I’m done with you is the orange jumpsuit you’re going to have to wear in prison.” “Lightweight George Conway is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person,” the White House responded in a statement. “His severe and debilitating disease known as Trump Derangement syndrome has melted his brain and made him crazy in the head.”The post Trump Roasts ‘Unattractive’ George Conway for ‘Getting Absolutely CRUSHED’ in Primary first appeared on Mediaite.

CNN commentator Van Jones said the Democratic establishment was handed a decisive defeat in Tuesday’s primaries in New York. Mayor Zohrani Mamdani endorsed three leftist candidates vying for congressional seats, all of whom won on Tuesday night. Two of them faced off against sitting members of Congress. Brad Lander, the former NYC comptroller, crushed Rep. Dan Goldman to earn the nomination in the 10th district. Darializa Avila Chevalier, a union organizer, defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the 13th district. And state Rep. Claire Valdez trounced Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in the 7th district. As of this writing, Lander led Goldman by 33 points, Chevalier led by 3.5 points, and Valdez led by 20 points. On Tuesday’s edition of The Source, Jones said the results indicated that Democratic voters in New York are fed up with the party’s establishment, which includes Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, both from New York City: Well first of all, New York City matters because the two most exciting left-wing candidates are here, AOC and Mamdani. But also this is the stronghold for the establishment. Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. This is a battle between the establishment and this insurgency. And the roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party establishment tonight. If Mamdani gets a hat trick, three out of three, this is a new era for the Democratic Party. And you can’t write off New York City because this is the place where both of– it’s a power center for the establishment and the insurgency. And they’re going head to head tonight. And right now, this is no longer a movement. This is a movement and a machine at the same time. And there’s just no way to sugarcoat this. If Mamdani pulls off a hat trick is a new era in Democratic Party politics. Jones went on to conclude, “This is a straight-up battle between the establishment and the insurgency. And the establishment is getting its butt kicked tonight in New York City.” Earlier in the day, Politico noted that Schumer had been trying to “stave off the march of Democratic insurgents” Mamdani had endorsed. The nominees’ seats are solidly blue and are expected to win in November’s general election.

Screenshot via MeidasTouch Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) defied President Donald Trump on whether Iran should have ballistic missiles amid peace deal negotiations. McCormick spoke to MeidasTouch on Capitol Hill on Tuesday and he was asked about the president and vice president’s recent talk of Iran’s missile supply and the country having a “right to self-defense.” McCormick said: I don’t really track what the vice president says, I have my own opinion. I’ve been 20 years in the military. I served overseas in the Persian Gulf for a couple tours. I’m a Marine by nature. I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna have is a Tehran regime that’s pursuing ballistic missiles, pursuing nuclear arms. It says they’re gonna rain down fire from above on the United States. It’s attacked us 40 times, proxy terrorist organizations killed 1,000 people. I don’t really care what they choose to do. I know what we should do. Trump caused some waves when he discussed Iran and their ballistic missiles after a peace deal is finalized. “I’m saying that if other countries have them, it’s a little bit unfair for them not to have some,” Trump told reporters last week. Critics saw a shift in position as Trump said on the first day of the war that “we’re going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground.” Vance later commented, denying there was a flip-flop. He insisted Iran will not be allowed to “build the kind of missiles that can broadly threaten the world.” “You can’t tell a country, whether Israel or Iran, they’re not allowed to have any self-defense. That’s not what the president has asked,” he said. Asked about Trump’s position, McCormick remained defiant. “Once again, I’m not worried about what the president says or what the vice president’s gonna say because what I have is my own opinion because I have very strong feelings about that Tehran regime, which I do not trust, and I would love to see eliminated. That’s my opinion, nobody else… And like I said, I stick by my experiences and my opinion.” McCormick: I’m not going to have an Iranian regime pursuing ballistic missiles. Reporter: So do you disagree with the president when he says it’s a little unfair for Iran not to have ballistic missiles? McCormick: I’m not worried about what the president says.
