Bill Maher said you have to take President Donald Trump’s public bashing in stride, because “that’s just his way of talking.” The host of HBO’s Real Time shrugged off Trump’s fairly frequent acid-fingered posts about him while speaking to CNN on Sunday, right before he was set to receive the Mark Twain Prize from the Kennedy Center. “You know, the last 4 or 5 times he’s been public about me, it’s all it’s all back to yelling and screaming,” Maher told correspondent Camila DeChalus. “I’m this, I’m terrible, I’m a lunatic liberal, I’m a lunatic, I’m a lightweight, I’m a jerk. So we’re back to that. It’s okay.” Maher said he preferred the back-and-forth — even if it was critical — than pretending people on the other side of the political aisle are “too deplorable” to acknowledge. “I’d rather be fighting and yelling. And that’s just his way of talking to people,” Maher continued. “You know, you just kind of have to accept it. I’d rather the channels be open, and anything is better than channels just being shut off.” Maher’s answer comes after Trump’s White House called it “FAKE NEWS” when the comic was first named this year’s Twain Prize winner; Maher later said the administration tried to block him from getting the award during an episode of Real Time. Maher and the president have a famously rocky relationship. The comic has a framed page with dozens of insults Trump has hurled at him over the years hanging in his podcast studio. But their relationship appeared to be improving last year, when Maher had dinner with Trump and Dana White at the White House — where the president signed the list of insults for Maher. Things have soured since then, with Trump calling him a “highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT” earlier this year. He then skewered Maher — whom he called a “weak and ineffective person” — for his conversation with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in May. Maher does not appear to have taken it too personally. He quipped to CNN that he still expected the Trump Administration to try and thwart the event, even as he was walking the red carpet on Sunday.

Lahren shared her two cents on X on Sunday, in response to a clip of DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin being interviewed on CNN earlier in the day. Jake Tapper asked Mullin if 350,000 Haitians who are in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status will be deported. Mullin said those Haitians have a “couple choices”— “they can try to apply for a Permanent Residence here, they can apply for a temporary visa if they choose to, or they can choose to go back. And if they wanna go back, we’ll help them with that.” Lahren didn’t love that answer. “So no voter ID and now mass deportations aren’t happening either. Why do we elect Republicans?” Lahren said. She posted about it while the program she co-hosts — The Big Weekend Show — was in a commercial break. Lahren was obviously referring to Senate Republicans failing to push through the SAVE America Act, which would require ID and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections; it would also end mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military or travel. President Donald Trump has insisted Republican lawmakers get the legislation approved ahead of the 2026 midterms. If they don’t, Lahren said a ton of Republicans could opt to skip voting. “Don’t be surprised when conservatives stay home in November,” she said. “I’m not advocating for it but I won’t be surprised.” Her remarks not only followed Mullin’s interview on CNN, but also came a few days after Trump canceled signing a housing bill at the last minute. The president said he ditched the signing because the SAVE America Act had not been passed yet. “Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT,” the president wrote on Truth Social last Wednesday. About an hour after Lahren’s post, Trump shared a Breitbart article on Truth Social where Mullin bragged 2026 deportations will go “well past what we did in ’25.” Watch part of Mullin’s interview above.The post Tomi Lahren Rips Trump’s DHS Secretary Over Haitians, Warns Republican Voters Will ‘Stay Home’ for Midterms… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago
- Dramatic Video Shows The Moment Rescue Crews Carefully Pull A Baby From the Rubb...Dramatic new footage showed rescue workers in Venezuela carefully pulling several more people from the rubble — including a small baby — some four days after two major earthquakes struck the country. More than 1,400 people were killed and thousands are still missing, but CNN reported on Sunday some miraculous rescues made during the massive efforts over the weekend. “Rescue workers from countries around the world are joining the search efforts, with some encouraging moments,” host Omar Jimenez reported. “Today, for example, a 60-year-old woman was rescued from a 15-story collapsed building after a 10-hour-long effort that involved workers from Peru, El Salvador, and Venezuela.” “And look at that moment,” Jimenez said as a baby’s cries filled the air. “American search-and-rescue workers helping pull a mother and her small baby from the earthquake rubble.” Jimenez continued, “But experts say with so much time having passed, the chances of finding people alive in this damage are declining.” CNN contributor Stefano Possebon reported from Guaira, where he said it’s been 96 hours now since the quakes hit, yet crews are still hopeful there could be more survivors. “The rescue workers are trying to locate the survivors by making contact with sounds,” Possebon said. “So, they tap, and they’re waiting for some sign — vital signs, sign of life — which is ‘tap, tap.’ And because of that, everyone, everything is still. Everyone is silenced. Everyone speaks in whispers, because the rescue workers are always and constantly calling for silence, trying to make contact with somebody who could be by sheer force of miracle, still be alive under there.” “They’ve just called for another silence,” Possebon said during his report. “They whistle and they shout, ‘Silencio! Silencio!’ which is ‘silence,’ of course, in Spanish. And at that point, the whole operation stops and everyone everyone stops. Because of course, it’s any noise should be alive to be saved. It’s truly, it’s just desperate to see after 96 hours, as I was saying, Omar, they just keep going and going. Despite the evidence that right now, unfortunately, we’re more than four days after that earthquake.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post Dramatic Video Shows The Moment Rescue Crews Carefully Pull A Baby From the Rubble in Venezuela first appeared on Mediaite.

- US and Iran Agree to Stop Attacking Each Other — Yet AgainThe U.S. and Iran have agreed to stop attacking each other once again, according to new reporting from Axios’s Barak Ravid. “We decided to stop all the kinetic activity,” a senior U.S. official told Axios on Sunday, following a weekend of airstrikes on both sides. A U.S. official confirmed to CNN that both sides still plan to meet Tuesday in Qatar to try to resolve the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz. CNN’s Julia Pembroke reported, “A senior administration official tells me that those talks will continue on as planned. They went on to say this: ‘Nothing has been canceled. Technical talks regarding the implementation of the MOU, the Memorandum of Understanding, are on track for the coming days as planned, and deconfliction channels are up and running after the Lake Lucerne summit.'” Pembroke continued: Now, Secretary of State Marc Rubio had previously said that some of these talks would take place at an expert level on June 30th, just a couple of days away now, and a reminder that last weekend, that’s when Vice President J.D. Vance led these high stakes, high level talks in Switzerland, really kicking off the technical talks and the Memorandum of Understanding, which has been signed by both the United States and Iran, was really just a starting off point because it started this 60 day time period. To get into the details on some of the big issues, like Iran’s nuclear program and the fate of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. But all of this recent back and forth that’s taken place over the past couple of days, one big moment came Saturday evening when U.S. Central Command confirmed that it had carried out, at the direction of the president, it had carried out additional strikes on multiple targets in response to it said “Iran’s continued aggression.” Now, following that development, [Donald] Trump took to social media and he said that Iran may never learn. And if they didn’t, that if that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran “will no longer exist.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post US and Iran Agree to Stop Attacking Each Other — Yet Again first appeared on Mediaite.

- Trump Teases Giant White House Ballroom With Flurry of Pics: ‘Nothing Like It!...
(Photos via: AP Photo/Alex Brandon and Donald Trump on Truth Social) President Donald Trump shared a sneak preview of the much-publicized and much-maligned White House ballroom he is developing with a series of pictures shared on Truth Social on Sunday. The pictures — which are either computer-generated or AI-generated — show the white building adorned with giant pillars in front. A few staircases and a big platform are also seen, as well as a few “people” walking around the facility. “Our Great National Security Facility and Ballroom is moving along on schedule,” Trump posted. “When completed, there will be nothing like it anywhere in the World!” He also shared some close up pictures that showed the building’s columns have raging lions along the top. You can see some of those pics below: Trump announced the ballroom last year — and it immediately spurred a lot of criticism from liberals and other critics. Many fumed that Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House to make it happen. In April, the president insisted the ballroom was necessary for security reasons after he was targeted in another assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE,” Trump said. He continued, “This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough! While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is plus, there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in, and is inside the gates of the most secure building in the World, The White House.” But some liberal pundits don’t buy the security angle — with one even arguing Trump plans to “hunker down” in the ballroom and never leave following the 2028 election.The post Trump Teases Giant White House Ballroom With Flurry of Pics: ‘Nothing Like It!’ first appeared on Mediaite.
