Amidst a turbulent year of sociocultural and political strife, Variety and Rolling Stone have announced the lineup for the fifth annual Truth Seekers Summit, a daylong event on Aug. 14 in New York, spotlighting the most influential voices shaping the future of news, documentaries and cultural commentary. Held in partnership with Paramount+, the gathering brings together today’s most fearless journalists, trailblazing documentarians, and headline-making talent for dynamic conversations on truth, storytelling and impact.

According to Bill Nye’s expert opinion, if Congress stopped denying the existence of climate change, disasters like this past weekend’s Texas flash flood could be prevented.

While talking to Dana Bash on CNN, the Science Guy broke down the need to halt the burning of fossil fuels if the planet wants any hope of mitigating disasters like the one on the Fourth of July.

“What are we going to do about it is the ancient question,” Nye said. “It would be to stop burning fossil fuels. When you’re in a hole, stop digging … but the fossil fuel industry has been very successful in getting organizations like the U.S. Congress to think that it’s really not happening.”

He then explained that there is still time to turn things around, but we need to start soon. Bash pointed out that the first six months of this second...

The 4th of July has arrived once more, bringing a long summer weekend and a whole lot of celebrations you can watch.

It can be hard to keep track of it all on your own, especially as you gear up to hang out with family and friends, but don’t worry, we’ve done it for you. Below, you can find a list of this year’s 4th of July TV programming, from Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks to Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest.

Daytime programs

Fireworks are, of course, the main event on this holiday, but there’s still plenty to watch before the sun goes down. Here are some of the events you’ll be able to tune into.

“Rocky” Movie Marathon: AMC “Rocky III” — 8 a.m. Et “Rocky IV” — 10:30 a.m. Et “Rocky V” — 12:30 p.m. Et “Rocky” — 3 p.m. Et “Rocky II” — 5:30 p.

Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla spoke about being detained and handcuffed on the ground by law enforcement while attempting to question Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem during a press conference.

“If that’s how they treat a senator trying to ask a question… then imagine… what they are doing to so many people without titles,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash during an appearance Sunday on State of the Union.

Video of the dramatic moment quickly spread across the internet. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (Dhs) posted on...

Broadcast networks again broke into regular programming with images of smoke rising in the skies over Tel Aviv, after Iran launched retaliatory attacks on Israel for its strikes on nuclear facilities and top military leaders.

ABC News broke into regular programming, with Diane Macedo anchoring, and CBS News provided a special report with John Dickerson anchoring. Cable news networks and broadcast streaming channels quickly focused their coverage on the attacks.

Israel defense forces said that “all of Israel is under fire as Iran fires projectiles,” and later reported a second round featuring dozens of additional missiles.

The Idf said in an announcement, “Every civilian must be aware of the most protected space in their area. When an alert is received, you must enter the protected space and remain there until further notice.”

Previously: Donald Trump once again chatted by phone with news anchors, this time to express support for Israel’s military strikes on Iran.

The U.S. secretary of defense has threatened to send active-duty Marines into the streets of Los Angeles to confront protesters opposing the administration’s detention and deportation of immigrants. At least three prominent Republicans don’t seem concerned about potential overreach.

“The [Department of Defense] is mobilizing the National Guard Immediately to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert,” Hegseth wrote late Saturday on X, formerly Twitter, on his personal account.

Although Elon Musk has been known to lean on “free speech” when convenient, the ex-Doge boss appears to be backpedaling after dropping a major bombshell.

Following a heated exchange in which he claimed his former bestie Donald Trump is included in the Jeffrey Epstein files, the X mogul appears to have deleted the loaded post from his own platform.

The feud comes after Musk denounced Trump‘s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which would add an estimated $2.4 trillion deficit over the next decade. The Tesla CEO previously concluded his stint with Doge last month.

After Trump threw down a gauntlet, Musk responded to his threat to terminate Tesla’s government subsidies with the Epstein allegation. “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, Djt!” he wrote in the since-deleted tweet.

President Donald Trump is insisting that he’s not mad. The breakup with Elon Musk is not causing him to lose any sleep, and he’s definitely not checking his socials multiple times a day. The insistence from the president that he is unbothered and unconcerned about his blowup with the billionaire would be much more convincing if Trump hadn’t spent all of Friday morning calling virtually every news anchor he knows to complain about him.

Over the course of the day, Trump called CNN’s Dana Bash, Fox News’ Bret Baier,...

Reading Time: 3 minutes

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are no longer besties.

The bromance, which began amid Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, was a short but eventful one.

Sure, you might have had friendships that ended in dramatic fashion, but how many of those have altered the course of American history?

Anyway, the Trump and Musk feud has had no shortage of fireworks, with the Tesla CEO accusing the president of consorting with pedophiles, and 47 firing back by threatening to withdraw billions of government subsidies.

Updated: Donald Trump spent part of Friday morning letting some news outlets know that he has no plans to talk to Elon Musk, even amid talk of a potential truce in their messy fallout.

On CNN, Dana Bash said that she got off the phone with Trump, and the president told her: “I’m not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem. The poor guy has got a problem.”

Bash said: “He says he won’t be speaking to him for a while, but he wishes Elon Musk well,” as Trump turned to the economy. She said the president didn’t sound angry but “I guess, more resigned.”

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl also spoke to Trump and said the president told him that he was “not particularly” interested in talking to Musk. Karl had asked him about reports that there would be a call with Musk some time on Friday.

Dock workers and truckers who are out of work or worried about their jobs because China’s trade with the U.S. is coming to a grinding halt “should be very optimistic and positive, because the president truthed it out,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said today.

Following Donald Trump’s pull of funding to Harvard University, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Sunday that he and several colleagues opposed the move by sending Trump “a very strong letter.” The move drew wide mockery almost immediately, including from Seth Meyers on Monday night.

The NBC host largely argued that sending a letter would likely have no effect at all — assuming Trump even actually reads it.

“Is this a constitutional crisis or Jane Austen novel? The guy doesn’t even read his presidential daily briefing, you think he’s sitting by the mailbox waiting for a letter from Chuck Schumer?” Meyers joked. “If your neighbor is blasting house music at 2 a.m., you don’t write him a letter. You pound on the f–king wall ’til he stops.”

According to Schumer, the letter included eight “very strong” questions for the president. Meyers scoffed at that, imitating...

President Trump bragged that he had made “200 deals” on trade and tariffs in a recent interview, but when pressed for details, two members of his cabinet could not name a single country that has agreed to one of Trump’s alleged deals.

Two weeks after he announced a 90-day pause on his punishing import tariffs, Trump claimed he has made many deals while refusing to say which countries agreed to those deals. The pause, he said, was to allow time for negotiations with other countries with the exception of China,...

Walking around UTA’s annual bash in Washington D.C. Friday night during this weekend of the White House Correspondents Dinner, many of the expected scenes abided.

The CNN personalities Dana Bash and John Berman jokingly pretended to introduce themselves to each other before posing for a party photo taken by their colleague, D.C. bureau chief David Chalian.

The U.S. senator Amy Klobuchar stood deep inside the crowd in the giant space of Osteria Mozza, the DC offshoot of Nancy Silverton’s Hollywood staple, greeting a slew of well-wishers.

And as a deejay blared Whitney Houston and bartenders poured bespoke cocktails, hundreds of sharply dressed media insiders circulated, laughed and even sometimes danced in a tableau that repeated itself more than a dozen times throughout the capital this weekend.

What made the scenes unexpected, of course, was what was happening outside the party walls. Fears of a tariff-induced recession,...

Journalism’s big night out returned on Saturday in Washington as reporters, editors and A-list celebrities mingled at the Washington Hilton at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, an event jokingly called the “nerd prom,” in what was a more muted soirée that, for the fourth time while he has been in the Oval Office, was not attended by President Donald Trump. This year, the Whca opted to focus on the stellar journalism produced as the current administration charges into uncharted territory.

With the absence of the sitting president and the decision to nix a comic brought onstage to roast the leader of the free world — a lighthearted and often funny tradition that typically follows the meal, this year’s dinner continued the event’s downward slide in relevance as a cultural moment. Previous years have seen memorable roasts of sitting presidents and stand out moments from notable names like Joel McHale and Conan O’Brien,...

CNN anchor Dana Bash interrupted live coverage of Donald Trump to refute his claims that the network’s journalists at CNN “hate our country.”

Trump’s Oval Office appearance on Monday saw him attack CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins during an exchange regarding Kilmer Abrego Garcia – an El Salvadorian man who was wrongfully deported from the US and is still being held in an El Salvadorian prison, despite court orders for him to be returned.

When Collins asked about Garcia’s fate, Trump quipped, “Let’s hear the question from this very low-rated anchor at Cb – at CNN low-rated!”

Collins questioned Trump, “Do you plan to press President Bukele to help return the man who your administration says was mistakenly deported to El Salvador?”

Instead of answering the question, Trump gave the floor to Attorney General Pam Bondi and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. He interrupted the conversation later on to claim,...

The new Shondaland murder mystery series “The Residence” shares some DNA with another Netflix whodunit: Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” film.

“It resuscitated the genre,” showrunner Paul William Davies told Variety at “The Residence” premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday, revealing that Johnson’s film was a “hugely important” guidepost for his show in the way that it drew inspiration from 1970s whodunits.

“He played around with the history,” Davies explained. “That really opened the door for a lot of us to be like, ‘Oh, yeah, we can do that again.'”

“The Residence,” which is now streaming on Netflix, stars Uzo Aduba as the wildly eccentric detective (and legendary birder) Cordelia Cupp, who is tasked with solving a murder that takes place during a White House state dinner. In creating the screwball comedy — which features a sprawling cast that includes Susan Kelechi Watson, Randall Park and Ken Marino — Davies...

It’ll be debated for some time whether Donald Trump’s confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was spontaneous or a pre-planned ambush, but by the end of the 15-minute exchange Friday, Trump relished how it would all play: “This is going to be great television.”

The idea that Trump has created a reality TV presidency is well-worn, but the reaction to the shout-fest, that it signals a breakdown in U.S.-Ukrainian relations and perhaps Western alliances, is hardly trivial.

“Wow, just wow,” said CNN’s Dana Bash, after the network finished running video of the exchange, before going to the network’s chief White House correspondents and then foreign correspondents to talk about the implications.

Such reactions continued throughout the day as the story dominated cable news and social media.

Trump was supposed to meet with Zelensky today to put the finishing touches on a U.S. mineral rights deal with Ukraine,...

Updated: TV news anchors were left stunned after Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky got into a tense Oval Office exchange, with the president at points shouting at the Ukrainian leader.

The purpose of Zelensky’s visit was to sign a mineral rights deal at the White House, but it comes amid talks between the U.S. and Moscow to settle the three-year-old war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump has previously berated Zelensky as a “dictator,” but has had little if any criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

That deal is now off, as is a joint press conference that was planned following the meeting. Zelensky left the White House grounds at about 1:40 p.m. Et.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that Zelensky “disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace.”

During the moments captured by pool reporters and photographers,...

Trump Border Czar Tom Homan is not backing down from his suggestion that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could have broken the law by holding a webinar informing immigrants of their rights during encounters with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).

Homan said on Fox News last week when discussing the webinar, “Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? And if so, what are we going to do about it? Is she crossing the line? So, I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out. Where is that line that they cross?...

Rahm Emanuel, who last served as ambassador to Japan in Joe Biden’s administration, has found a media gig at CNN.

The veteran politician will join the cable news outlet as senior political and global affairs commentator, the network said on Thursday. Emanuel, who grew his national stature as White House chief of staff to President Obama, served as mayor of Chicago from 2011 to 2019.

The hire adds another staunch Democrat voice on global affairs to a pundit and anchor roster that is retooling in the second Trump administration. The official, the brother of Endeavor mogul Ari Emanuel, stepped down from the ambassadorship on January 14 a week ahead of the presidential transition.

Emanuel has already been appearing on CNN’s programming recently, including with Cristiane Amanpour in December and on State of the Union with Dana Bash after wrapping his diplomatic role in Tokyo. He’s also been keeping busy by writing Washington Post opinion columns,...

CNN is talking about Elon Musk’s “balls” again.

Anchor Dana Bash did not seem thrilled on Tuesday when mentioning how Musk — whom she called the “Disruptor in Chief” — changed his X handle to “Harry Bōlz.”.

“Elon Musk, who apparently has adopted the alias — at least he changed his social media handle — to ‘Harry Bōlz,’ tweeted this morning, ‘Democracy in America is being destroyed by judicial coup. An activist judge is not a real judge.”

Hilarious moment from CNN's Dana Bash:

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was mocked on social media for wearing a cowboy hat as she appeared on TV to support President Donald Trump‘s tariff plan for Mexico, Canada and China.

“Today, I have implemented a 25% Tariff on Imports from Mexico and Canada (10% on Canadian Energy), and a 10% additional Tariff on China,” Trump stated on Truth Social on Feb. 1. “This was done through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (Eepa) because of the major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our Citizens, including fentanyl.”

“We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as President to ensure the safety of all,” he added. “I made a promise on my Campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our Borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it.”

On Sunday, Noem, who is banned from all nine tribal lands in her home state of South Dakota,...

CNN is moving Wolf Blitzer’s show “The Situation Room” to late mornings and expanding “The Lead with Jake Tapper” to two hours, part of a broader refresh of the network’s weekday programming line-up, executives announced on Thursday.

The new schedule affects the domestic CNN channel as well as some programs that are simulcast on CNN International, which is expected to have its own weekday programming refresh in the coming weeks. Additionally, CNN executives say new shows will be announced in the near future.

The new schedule for CNN’s U.S. channel follows below (all times Eastern):

5 a.m.: “5 Things” with Rahel Solomon 6 a.m.: “CNN This Morning” 7 a.m. : “CNN News Central” 10 a.m.: “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer 12 p.m.: “Inside Politics” with Dana Bash 1 p.m.: “CNN News Central” 4 p.m.

CNN unveiled details of changes to its daytime and afternoon lineup Thursday, with Wolf Blitzer moving to mornings to anchor The Situation Room with Pamela Brown, Jake Tapper getting a new time slot, and Kasie Hunt shifting to afternoons.

There is no word on what will happen to Jim Acosta, as Blitzer and Brown’s The Situation Room will take his place in the 10 a.m. Et slot.

Tapper’s show will move to 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Et, with a new show hosted by Hunt, called The Arena, getting the 4 p.m. Et slot.

Audie Cornish will take over CNN This Morning at 6 a.m. Et, and Rahel Solomon will host 5 Things at 5 a.m. Et.

CNN Worldwide CEO Mark Thompson unveiled further plans earlier today to shift the network’s focus to digital, with layoffs of about 200 employees from its workforce but with plans to hire 100 in digital roles.

CNN is getting a revamped lineup, with a number of familiar faces moving to new roles or time periods. Eric Sherling, CNN’s executive vp of programming, announced the changes in a memo to CNN staff Thursday.

The new lineup was unveiled just hours after CNN CEO Mark Thompson outlined job cuts and a digital-first strategy for the venerable cable news channel.

Among the changes: The Lead anchor Jake Tapper will move to 5-7 p.m., filling a critical early primetime period for news; Kasie Hunt will host The Arena at 4 p.m.; Audie Cornish will join CNN This Morning at 6 a.m.; Rahel Solomon will host 5 Things at 5 a.m.; and Wolf Blitzer and Pamala Brown will move to the 10 a.m. timeslot with a new version of The Situation Room.

There is no word on what will happen to Jim Acosta, the current 10 a.m. anchor who, according to multiple reports,...

The 2025 inauguration of Donald J. Trump will be a three-day extravaganza in Washington, D.C. leading up to the swearing-in ceremony Monday, January 20 of Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance that has been moved inside because of the threat of cold weather.

The official inaugural events begin Saturday with the President’s Reception and Fireworks as well as the Cabinet Reception and Vice President’s Dinner.

On Sunday, an Arlington National Cemetery ceremony will see Trump laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Later, he will deliver remarks at the Make America Great Again Victory Rally at Capital One Arena, which will include performances by Kid Rock, the Village People, Billy Ray Cyrus and Lee Greenwood. Trump will also speak later in the evening at the Candlelight Dinner.

Inauguration Day on Sunday will begin with a St. John’s church service and a tea at the White...

Four years after attempting to overturn the results of the election, leading to a deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, Donald Trump was certified as the winner of the 2024 presidential contest.

In a heavily fortified Capitol complex, a joint session of Congress gathered Monday to listen as the electoral vote results of each state were read off.

Presiding over the session was the president of the Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the position of announcing the winner of an election that she lost. Harris kept a slight smile as she read off the tally, 312-226. Republicans cheered for Trump, and Democrats responded with a large ovation for her.

On CNN, Dana Bash noted the heavy security today, and that so many that backed Trump’s challenge of the 2020 results were still present and actually now in positions of leadership. They include Mike Johnson, who is now speaker of the House.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu said that Elon Musk is “so rich” that he is “removed from the potential financial influence” when it comes to conflicts of interest related to his future work in government. In other words, Musk is too wealthy to possibly use his forthcoming government position to further enrich himself.

President Donald Trump has named Musk to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), leading many to worry that the tech billionaire would funnel government funds to his own companies like SpaceX, which benefits from federal contracts...

On the eve of a jury trial in June 2017, Disney settled a defamation lawsuit brought by a beef company for a whopping $177 million. The case stemmed from a series of ABC News reports in 2012 fronted by star anchor Diane Sawyer that dubbed the processed meat “pink slime.” At the time, it marked the largest settlement or jury award ever for a libel case and has since been eclipsed only by Alex Jones ($1.438 billion to Sandy Hook families) and Fox News ($787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems).

Fast forward to 2024, and George Stephanopoulos is now the face of ABC News and one of the highest-paid anchors on TV, making up to $18 million per year. And inside Disney’s C-suites on the Burbank lot, there was a feeling of déjà vu thanks to a looming defamation lawsuit filed in March by former and incoming President Donald Trump, a far more powerful and strident...

Rep. Jim Jordan was a key figure in Jan. 6 and the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, claiming there was widespread voter fraud despite all evidence to the contrary. So it’s certainly a change of tune when the Republican congressman acknowledges the 2024 election was free and fair. The notable difference between these two elections is, of course, that Jordan’s preferred candidate won.

Andrea Mitchell, one of the longest-running presences on MSNBC, will give up the reins to her daily noontime show at the NBCUniversal-backed cable-news outlet following the presidential inauguration in 2025, she informed viewers Tuesday at the end of her program.

Mitchell, who is expected to turn 78 on Wednesday, has anchored a weekday program on MSNBC since 2008, and has been with NBC News for 45 years, covering every presidential campaign for the outlet since 1980.

Update: Networks captured the harrowing scenes of explosions in the skies over Tel Aviv today, as Iran launched a missile attack on Israel.

Major news networks quickly switched to reporters in the region for ongoing coverage, while broadcast networks interrupted regular daytime programming for special reports.

“This attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective,” he told reporters.

He said, “Obviously, this is a significant escalation by Iran, a significant event, and it is equally significant that we were able to step up with Israel and create a situation in which no one was killed in this attack on Israel.”

Kamala Harris’ sit down interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle was an effort to push back against the idea that she hasn’t offered a complete vision and economic plan, as the two went into some details of tax and tariff policy likely to be front and center for the next four years.

Of particular interest to the entertainment industry is her call for raising the corporate tax rate, as she has previously proposed raising it to 28% from the current 21%.

“We’re going to have to raise corporate taxes, and we’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share,” Harris said. “That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share, and it is not right that the teachers and the firefighters that I...

Vance tripled down on his debunked claims that Haitian immigrants are killing and eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio, while also admitting, “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
