Jon Stewart fittingly opened Monday’s episode of The Daily Show with the dumbest news of the day: That an Atlantic journalist was accidentally added to a group chat where high-ranking members of the Trump administration were discussing ostensibly classified plans to bomb Houthi militants in Yemen.

And Stewart of course had just the right words for such a staggering mistake: “Oopsie-poopsie!”

The host then went on to reminisce about the old days when journalists had to work sources and pound the pavement to get secret war documents. “Now, you...

Donald Trump installed a former Fox News host with a history of alleged erratic behavior as Secretary of Defense. What could go wrong? Well, we’re barely two months into the president’s term and Pete Hegseth seems to have texted presumably classified plans to bomb Yemen into a group chat that inadvertently included the editor in chief of The Atlantic.

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg reported on Monday that on March 11 he received a connection request on Signal — an encrypted messaging app — from “Michael Waltz,” later confirmed to be Trump’s national security adviser.

In July, Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he knew “nothing about Project 2025.”

“I have not seen it, have no idea who is in charge of it, and, unlike our very well received Republican Platform, had nothing to do with it. The Radical Left Democrats are having a field day, however, trying to hook me into whatever policies are stated or said. It is pure disinformation on their part,” he added.

Coming in the midst of the Disney Renaissance, Pocahontas scored mixed reviews from critics, but was a box office success, grossing over 346 million against its 55 million production budget, but one aspect of the film has remained a divisive topic throughout the years.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the latest episode of Screen Junkies' Honest Trailers series is looking back at Pocahontas. The video hilariously points out the historical inaccuracy of the Disney animated movie, including the false nature of the relationship between the titular woman and John Smith,...

In his final days in the White House, Donald Trump told top advisers he needed to preserve certain Russia-related documents to keep his enemies from destroying them.

The documents related to the federal investigation into Russian election meddling and alleged collusion with Trump’s campaign. At the end of his presidency, Trump and his team pushed to declassify these so-called “Russiagate” documents, believing they would expose a “Deep State” plot against him.

According to a person with direct knowledge of the situation and another source briefed on the matter, Trump...
