Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), who served as Secretary of the Interior during President Donald Trump’s first term, announced he was not running for re-election on Monday, citing health concerns and his personal belief in term limits. A former Navy SEAL, Zinke served in the Montana Senate for four years, unsuccessfully ran in the GOP primary for Montana lieutenant governor, and then ran for Congress in 2014. Trump nominated him to head the Interior Department and he was sworn into office March 1, 2017. Zinke would end up resigning his Cabinet post in December 2018 amid multiple federal ethics probes. He maintained he had committed no wrongdoing and claimed the investigations were “intended to harass” him. He would end up returning to Congress after winning re-election in the 2022 elections, and has remained a staunch Trump ally. Zinke announced his decision not to seek re-election in a social media post Monday, noting that he had “quietly undergone multiple surgeries” recently connected to his military service and was expected to need additional procedures and recovery time, explaining that he did not want to “run the risk of uncertain absence and missed votes.” It has been my highest honor to serve America and the Great State of Montana.

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) Two high-profile doctors questioned the official White House explanation for the worrisome rash that was visible on President Donald Trump’s neck during a Medal of Honor event Monday. After journalists and social media users pointed out the red patch behind Trump’s right ear, CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang posted to X, “President Trump’s doctor passes along this note about the red area on Trump’s neck.” Dr. Barbabella’s statement read, “President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House doctor. The president is using this treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.” CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner posted to X, questioning why the White House didn’t provide a more thorough explanation. “Preventative skin treatments (such as topical 5 flurouracil) are commonly used to prevent overt skin cancer in people with precancerous skin lesions,” Reiner wrote. “We don’t know what specific treatment the president is receiving, but why all the secrecy for something that is potentially easy to treat and very common in older people?” Preventative skin treatments (such as topical 5 flurouracil) are commonly used to prevent overt skin cancer in people with precancerous skin lesions.

The House Oversight Committee on Monday released footage of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton both being deposed over their connections to Jeffrey Epstein on Monday afternoon, less than a week after the ex-president and former secretary of state testified before lawmakers. Combined, the two Clintons were deposed for more than 9 hours. Bill Clinton was asked about 50 minutes into his deposition about Epstein visiting the White House 17 times while he was in office. He said he did not dispute that figure, but that he was not sure why Epstein had made those trips. “Huge numbers of people come and go in the White House. A lot of them come well over once, especially if they’re lobbyists, for example,” Clinton said. “But I didn’t know he was coming, so I certainly didn’t know what he was coming about.” Later, he said he would be “surprised” if he was “targeted as a means of an intelligence gathering operation,” but that did not know for sure one way or another. Hillary Clinton denied any direct relationship to Epstein and told reporters after her testimony last week that she was asked about everything from conspiracy theories to UFOs. “I answered every one of their questions as fully as I could, based on what I knew. And what I knew is what I said in my statement this morning. I never met Jeffrey Epstein, never had any connection or communication with him,” she said. Clinton said later: It then got, at the end, quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet that was serving as the basis of a member’s questions to me. During his testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Bill Clinton defended his wife in his opening statement and said she “had nothing to do” with Epstein. He also said he did nothing illegal during his years-long friendship with the dead sex criminal. “I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see. I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do. I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.” This is a breaking news story and will be updated.The post WATCH: House GOP Releases Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Epstein Depositions first appeared on Mediaite.

San Antonio Spurs’ Luke Kornet reacts to a call during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the New York Knicks Sunday, March 1, 2026, in New York. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig) San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet called for the Atlanta Hawks to cancel an upcoming promotion honoring a famed strip club in the city. On March 16, the Hawks will host “Magic City Monday” during its game against the Orlando Magic. Throughout the night, the team will recognize strip club Magic City. The night will include a performance from Atlanta rapper T.I., Magic City-themed merchandise, and the famed chicken wings that the club has become known for. In a statement announcing the festivities, the Hawks referred to Magic City as an “iconic cultural institution.” In a letter published Monday on his personal blog, Kornet criticized the Hawks for not being forthright about the fact that the team was honoring a strip club. He also called on the Hawks to cancel the promotion entirely, saying: Regardless of how a woman finds her way into the adult entertainment industry, many in this space experience abuse, harassment, and violence to which they should never be subjected. I’d like to encourage the league, its owners, employees and fans to hold the Atlanta Hawks to a higher standard of what they find worthy of promoting. I and others throughout the league were surprised by and object to the Hawks’ decision. We desire to provide an environment where fans of all ages can safely come and enjoy the game of basketball and where we can celebrate the history and culture of communities in good conscience. The celebration of a strip club is not conduct aligned with that vision. Please join me in petitioning the Atlanta Hawks to cancel this promotion so as to ensure that the NBA remains a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for everyone involved. —The post San Antonio Spurs Player Blasts Atlanta Hawks for Honoring Local Strip Club in Upcoming Game — Wants Team to Cancel Festivities first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via Sky News Sky News Australia anchor Rita Panahi gave a passionate and scathing send-off to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, hours after he was announced killed by an Israeli airstrike on Saturday. “You son of a b*itch, shame on you. Burn in hell!” Panahi said in Persian. “Couldn’t have said it better myself!” her co-host Rowan Dean said. Her parting shot quickly racked up millions of views on social media as it was shared by influencers left and right.

I should've added a "bisharaf" in there too. https://t.co/A1JQTBGO18 — Rita Panahi (@RitaPanahi) March 2, 2026 A number of other X users re-posted the clip and praised Panahi for it. “All hail Rita Panahi The Queen of the fight against the systemic craziness of the weirdo’s [sic] of Woke,” one user said. “Rita is a f*cking legend,” another chimed in. Operation Epic Fury is a personal one for the host. Panahi was born in the United States to Iranian parents 1976, who later returned to the Iran in 1979 — the same year as the Islamic Revolution — and later fled to Australia as refugees in 1984. “All I have to say is that after 47 years of Islamist tyranny, the dictator is dead and Iran is on the verge of being liberated,” Panahi said on Saturday. She added that she “never thought I would see this day in my lifetime.” Panahi also thanked President Donald Trump for having the “courage” to strike Iran and kill dozens of other leaders from its theocratic regime. Trump on Monday morning told CNN’s Jake Tapper the strikes were going well and ahead of schedule. “We’re knocking the crap out of them,” Tapper said the president told him. Trump then said, “We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.” Watch above.The post WATCH: Sky News Anchor Goes Viral For Her Scathing Message to Ayatollah Khamenei Following His Death… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - Trump’s Doctor Offers Official Explanation For Flaky Rash on President’s Nec...

Leavitt said at the time: In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit. The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70. Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type, natriotic, peptide, and cardiac biomarkers. All results were within normal limits. An echocardiogram was also performed, and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
