“MSNBC Live” will return for a second year with more of the network’s anchors in attendance and fewer dollars to pay for a base ticket.

The cable-news outlet, soon to be spun off into a new publicly-traded entity, Versant, along with the bulk of NBCUniversal cable networks, intends to hold “MSNBCLive ’25: This Is Who We Are” on Saturday, October 11 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan. The event will be divided into two sessions, a lunch and seated dinner that will feature MSNBC hosts and guests, including a few, like Nicolle Wallace, Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough and Jacob Soboroff, who did not take part last year.

Like other forms of traditional media, MSNBC faces a a need “to go meet our audiences where they are,” says Lauren Peikoff, executive producer of events for MSNBC, during a recent interview. “We know people are so far beyond the linear sphere in every form,...

Former President Joe Biden fired back at President Donald Trump and others in the GOP who have claimed his staff’s use of an autopen was done without his knowledge while granting pardons and clemency toward the end of his term.

“They’re liars. They know it,” he said in an interview with The New York Times about Trump and his allies’ claims that he was incapacitated and not privy to the decisions being made while he was serving as president. “They’ve done so badly. They’ve lied so...

On July 8, Nicki Minaj took to both Instagram and X to air a series of grievances. Over a sprawling series of posts, she took aim at Megan Thee Stallion, her management company Roc Nation, its founder Jay-Z, its CEO Desiree Perez and even the Democratic party in the U.S. Here’s a brief breakdown of her gripes, which she repeatedly wrote were “all alleged & for entertainment purposes only.” A Roc Nation representative and a rep for Megan Thee Stallion did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s requests for comment.

Every weekday at about 8:30 a.m., the various anchors at NBC’s “Today” step outside the show’s Manhattan news studio to meet briefly with fans. In just a few months, they will get to have a longer visit.

NBC News is planning a series of live “Today” events, a sort of fan festival built around the program that will highlight many of its franchises, including Jenna Bush Hager’s book recommendations, Willie Geist’s in-depth celebrity interviews, and Hoda Kotb’s wellness discussions. “Today” has in recent months put a bigger spotlight on its food and recipe discussions and launched an app that spurs subscribers to think about fitness. The new concept would surface between October and early November, says Libby Leist, the NBC News executive vice president who oversees the morning franchise, and could include a series of ticketed events that would take place in New York...

Pull into the tree-cloaked driveway of Joan Baez’s home south of San Francisco and roam around her house and the first thing you’ll notice are oversize portraits she’s painted of Volodymyr Zelensky, Martin Luther King Jr., Anthony Fauci, Gandhi, and the late congressman John Lewis. For years, Baez would display two at a time in her front yard, but now they lean forlornly on a porch.

“Just after Trump got elected [last fall], somebody tattled to somebody in the city, who says, ‘Does she have permits?’” Baez says. “It...

“Let us remind those who try to ‘restore’ a narrow, divisive past, that the future belongs to the whole of us,” said Great Americans Medal recipient Ava DuVernay to a Washington DC crowd this week upon receiving the honor from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Rebuking those who “fear…the full American story told in its dazzling complexity and devastating contradictions,” the Academy Award nominee also noted “history is not a weapon to be sheathed when inconvenient. It is not a bedtime story meant to lull us to sleep. It is a river, flowing… deep and often turbulent.”

Putting it very bluntly, DuVernay told the crowd: There is no future in forgetting.

While never directly mentioning Donald Trump by name in her May 8 remarks, DuVernay characteristically made her point extremely clear to anyone picking up what she was putting down about his ongoing Maga attacks on democracy,...

James Corden‘s raunchy joke involving Dame Judi Dench did not exactly stick the landing.

The 46-year-old former The Late Show host was tasked with hosting the 2025 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony on Saturday (April 5) in Los Angeles. There, he made a suggestive joke about the legendary 90-year-old actress and former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci.

“Tonight is the one night that Hollywood and science come together, other than of course, that one magical evening where Dr. Fauci had a one night stand with Dame Judi Dench,” James said during his speech, per The Daily Mail.

While Judi was not present that night, the comment was met with silence from the audience. In one moment, cameras panned to Olivia Wilde making an uncomfortable expression in reaction to James‘ words.

Meanwhile, last year, Lily Allen gave details about her rocky friendship with James.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has been busy lately, and the good news for late-night TV fans is that the CBS show has no plans to slow down.

Last week, most of late-night TV was off the air. But The Late Show with Stephen Colbert delivered a week of brand-new shows, something of a rarity when there is a Monday holiday. Stephen Colbert showed up, dishing out some judgement to President Donald Trump.

And while some late-night shows are off this week, Colbert and his team will be right back to work. There will be a brand new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight, February 24.

Anticipate Colbert's monologue to go after President Trump's foreign policy, with particular attention given to the Un vote and Trump's appearance alongside France's Emmanuel Macron.

After 50 seasons on NBC, only 167 people have joined the coveted cast of “Saturday Night Live” with a select few sticking around for 10 or more seasons.

The sketch series has kickstarted several cast members’ careers to a new heights, some so big you may have forgotten they started on the show: Billy Crystal, Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, Laurie Metcalf and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, to name a few.

But several cast members’ careers are defined by the impact of the sketch show. Kenan Thompson has spent 22 seasons on the show, almost half of the series’ tenure.

Last year, Donald Trump and his 2024 staff were worried about U.S. intel suggesting there could be an Iranian plot to assassinate the former and now current American president.

Yet, in the waning months of that election, Trump — who survived a separate attempt on his life just before his nominating convention in Milwaukee — would occasionally joke to close allies that he would not care if Iranian assassins killed John Bolton, an Iran hawk and Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-critic, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.

It looks like someone where is not wasting his time whatsoever. Of course, we are talking about Donald Trump as he got right down to business on his first day in office as the new President of the United States. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Donald Trump Gets To Work On His First Day Back In The Office

Donald Trump, on his first day in office, wasted no time delivering on his promises to “Make America Great Again,” signing a series of executive orders. Some of th ethings included:

Officially withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.

Declared a national emergency at the southern border of the United States.

Ensured TikTok’s survival by paving the way for a deal to be reached.

Established the Department of Government Efficiency, nicknamed Doge, to streamline federal operations.

What’s Next For Donald Trump And His Administration?...

Outgoing President Joe Biden greeted incoming President Donald Trump at the north portico of the White House on Monday with an enthusiastic “Welcome home!” The first families enjoyed tea together, and a few hours later Trump, a convicted felon who attempted to overturn the results of a free and fair election four years ago, was sworn in as the 47th president inside the Capitol his supporters violently attacked in an effort to keep him in power.

The 45th and now 47th president of the United States swore the oath of...

President Joe Biden on Monday, in his final act in office, pardoned his family members, due to “unrelenting attacks” from incoming President Donald Trump and allies, along with Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, in an extraordinary use of the powers of the presidency in his final hours to guard against potential “revenge” by the incoming Trump administration.

Biden pardoned his siblings and their spouses, saying his family had been “subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics.”

“Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end,” he said. He issued a slew of pardons and commutations in the moments before leaving office, including for aides and allies that have been targeted by Trump. None have been charged with any crimes.

President Joe Biden is making the most of his final hours in the White House to protect people who have been at odds with Donald Trump.

The 82-year-old politician will be replaced by the 78-year-old president elect on Monday (January 20). Shortly before Donald‘s inauguration, President Biden issued preemptive pardons to some high-profile members of the government, including Dr. Anthony Fauci.

He explained the decision and what the pardons meant in a statement.

According to reporting by People, President Biden issued pardons to former Representative Liz Cheney, Senator Adam Schiff, former Representative Adam Kinziger and General Mark A. Milley. The pardons were also extended to “Capitol and Washington D.C. police” who testified in the January 6 hearings.

All of these people have faced targeted attacks from Donald and members of his team over the years. These preemptive pardons will make it impossible for him...

In one of his last acts as president, Joe Biden has issued preemptive pardons to several people Donald Trump and his allies perceive to be their enemies and have threatened to criminally investigate. The pardons were issued just hours before Biden is set to welcome Trump to the White House for tea prior to the latter’s presidential inauguration.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former National Institute of Health director who helped oversee the nation’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic; retired Gen. Mark Milley, who has criticized Trump and whom...

Updated, with comment from January 6th Committee members: With just a few hours remaining in his presidency, Joe Biden preemptively pardoned Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley and members of the January 6th Committee and their staffs, amid concerns that they would be targets of investigation by the incoming administration.

Also being pardoned are staffers of the committee and U.S. Capitol and Metropolitan Police officers who testified.

“Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day,” Biden said in a statement. “They are the lifeblood of our democracy. Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties.”

The pardons cover all members of the January 6th Committee, including one of Trump’s most vocal foes — Liz Cheney, who served as vice chair of the committee — as well as its chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-ms). The president-elect said on Meet the Press...

“I was doing the Rogan podcast… And [I was] kind of ill at ease while we were talking, because I knew my neighborhood was on fire, so I thought, I wonder if my place is still there. But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there." That's Mel Gibson speaking to Elizabeth Vergas of the conservative television station NewsNation on Jan. 9, 2025. He had just gotten back to Los Angeles after spending three hours in Joe Rogan's Austin, TX compound to record an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

"Obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional [...] I had my stuff there, and it’s all like, I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff, because it’s all in cinders," explained Gibson. “I had a lot of personal things there that, you know, I can’t get back."

While those things were burning, Gibson was...

With just weeks left in Joe Biden’s term, the president is reflecting on his decades-long career in elected office, and what he must do before passing the mantle of leadership to President-elect Donald Trump. In a wide-ranging exit interview published by USA Today on Wednesday, Biden discussed everything from weighing preemptive pardons for individuals on Trump’s revenge list, to his continued conviction that he could have defeated Trump at the ballot box.

“It’s presumptuous to say that, but I think yes,” Biden said when asked if he...

Stew Peters — the prominent, far-right shock jock — was arrested for a Dwi in his Minnesota hometown earlier this month after he allegedly upended an Atv while driving drunk.

Peters is the host of the darkly conspiratorial Stew Peters Show. Peters is also a filmmaker behind viral anti-vax propaganda flicks, as well as a recent movie, Occupied, which purports to expose “Jewish supremacy” in the Western world. The film is marketed with an image of the White House under an Israeli flag, shrouded by apparent visages of Jewish men with curls.

This time four years ago no one would ever have predicted this. There are new reports that suggest Dr. Anthony Fauci might be counting his lucky stars right now. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Joe Biden – Might Give Dr. Fauci A Pardon

According to the latest reports, President Biden is considering pardoning Dr. Anthony Fauci, as detailed by Politico. Biden’s team is reportedly discussing preemptive pardons to protect certain people from being supposedly targeted by President-elect Donald Trump.

It’s been noted that some of the names on the list may include Dr. Fauci, Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney, according to the outlet.

“The West Wing deliberations have been organized by White House counsel Ed Siskel but include a range of other aides, including chief of staff Jeff Zients,” Politico reported.

As many readers can perhaps recall, it was Senator Rand Paul who previously filed...

Peacock’s Based on a True Story unmasks a new serial killer — and exposes a killer inside someone close to Ava and Nathan Bartlett — in the true-crime sendup’s deliciously twisted sophomore run.

Paige traps Ava and Nathan in the Lipinski Sisters’ podcast studio, and she’s prepared to kill them for profiting off of Chloe’s death, before Matt shows up in the knick of time,...

Two major broadcast and cable industry groups are calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ditch a proposal that would require political ads airing on television to include a conspicuous disclosure if their spots include material that was produced using artificial intelligence tools.

The proposal, first released by the FCC in July, is meant to crack down on the use of so-called “deepfake” technology that could mislead voters into thinking a candidate or other official said or did something that they, in fact, did not do or say.

The FCC said the use of artificial intelligence tools by political candidates and campaigns can be a benefit — it can help smaller campaigns and candidates “with limited financial resources…reach larger audiences.” But the agency said the growing trend of “deepfakes” can sow “confusion and distrust among the voting public” through material misrepresentations.

The proposal would require licensed broadcast...

Some of MSNBC’s most dynamic moments in 2025 may not take place on a TV screen.

Indeed, that may already be the case. When Rashida Jones, the president of the NBCUniversal-backed cable network wandered around the lobby of the Brooklyn Academy of Music this past Saturday, she was struck by how many of the people she met hailed from outside the area. People had come from places like London and Hawaii to grab a glimpse of MSNBC hosts and anchors like Rachel Maddow, Katy Tur, Joy Reid, Jen Psaki and Chris Hayes, all part of a day-long summit held with approximately 4000 paying attendees to discuss the coming election and national politics.

The time has come, says Jones, to acknowledge that MSNBC’s fans might want more than just the cable network itself to get a full fix. The Brooklyn audience “told us what they wanted,” says Jones, who took...

The 68th BFI London Film Festival has unveiled additional titles for its 2024 program. The new slate includes one world premiere, one international premiere, one European premiere, and four U.K. premieres.

Charlie McDowell’s “The Summer Book,” starring Glenn Close, Emily Matthews and Anders Danielsen Lie, will have its world premiere as a special presentation. The film adapts Tove Jansson’s novel about a family’s summer on a Finnish island.

Justin Kurzel’s documentary “Ellis Park,” focusing on musician Warren Ellis, is set for its international premiere. The European premiere goes to Fleur Fortuné’s sci-fi feature debut “The Assessment,” with Elizabeth Olsen, Alicia Vikander and Himesh Patel.

Usually, the best indicator of Donald Trump’s mental state at any given time is the tone and frequency of his social media posts. On Wednesday — in the aftermath of a new election-interference indictment from Special Counsel Jack Smith — the former president seemingly spent the morning scrolling through his Truth Social comments and “re-truthing” all manner of conspiratorial, sexist, and fascist content.

Trump posted dozens of memes and comments from accounts promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory, false claims about the 2020 election, sexist attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, and the...

Dr. Anthony Fauci was hospitalized after being diagnosed with West Nile virus.

The 83-year-old doctor, who became a household name during the early days of the Covid pandemic as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, spent six days in the hospital this omnth.

He has since been released, and a spokesperson revealed how he is doing.

“Tony Fauci has been hospitalized with a case of West Nile virus. He is now home and is recovering. A full recovery is expected,” the spokesperson said in a statement shared with The Washington Post.

West Nile virus is commonly contracted from mosquitos and in some cases can be very dangerous. A vaccine for the illness has not yet been developed.

We hope that Dr. Fauci makes a full recovery and are so glad that he seems to be on the mend.

“Saturday Night Live” has already booked Maya Rudolph to return as Vice President Kamala Harris, but who should play her newly named running mate, Midwestern nice guy and governor of Minnesota Tim Walz?

The most apparently obvious candidate — similarly white-haired comedian Steve Martin — has, sadly, already turned down the gig as of Wednesday. But fear not, we’ve got plenty of other suggestions for Lorne Michaels to consider, including A-listers like Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and John Goodman.

Read on for our full list below!

Tom Hanks Tom Hanks (Credit: Getty Images)

The very wholesome two-time Oscar winner Hanks, who is 68, has hosted “Saturday Night Live” a whopping 10 times, including as Halloween icon David S. Pumpkins. And we’ve already seen him with white hair when he played heroic pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger in the 2016 biopic from Clint Eastwood. And he kind of looked like Walz when he hosted a...

Well, they both have white hair. That seems to be all it takes for Saturday Night Live fans like Lost’s Damon Lindelof to suggest Steve Martin as the perfect comic to play vice presidential candidate Tim Walz to Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris.

Martin, who has appeared on SNL a jaw-dropping 35 times including 16 hosting stints over the years, is a surefire bet to show up at least once during Season 50. Will he suit up as Walz? Or will Walz take over as Steve Martin?

“I just learned that Tim Walz wants to go on the road with Marty Short,” Martin joked last night on his Threads account.

It’s not crazy to think that Martin could get drafted to play the political personality. Lorne Michaels has brought in non-cast members to play politicos plenty of times before, from Rudolph to Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump to Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin.

Billionaire Elon Musk shared a deepfake video of Vice President Kamala Harris manipulated to make it sound like she spoke about President Joe Biden’s “senility” and that she does not “know the first thing about running the country.”

The audio, which sounds like Harris but is digitally manipulated, goes on to say Harris was chosen “because I...

When the news reports on a story, it sticks to cold, hard facts; this law was struck down, this medical trial didn’t get funding, this border closed. The facts are key to know how to ground ourselves, and to know what happened. The reality is though, that these decisions are newsworthy because they have huge effects on people’s lives, and people are at the heart of the story, not facts. These three shorts look at big issues through the lens of the individual. Through the power of filmmaking, the political becomes personal, and humanity shines through.

Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) faced backlash on social media for listing the wrong names of people who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Greene made this mistake in an X post. “The average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, was 44 years old, but more than a dozen were 35 or younger: Thomas Jefferson: 33 John Hancock: 39 James Madison: 25 Alexander Hamilton: 21 James Monroe: 18 Aaron Burr: 20 Paul Revere: 41 George Washington: 44,” she wrote.

X tagged the post with a correction which states that it was “in error with respect to Monroe, Madison, Washington, Burr, and Hamilton being signers.”

Many X users slammed the Georgia representative for making this error.

“You got a majority of names wrong,” the user stated in response to Greene’s post. “How are you in Congress!!??? We need a civics test to run for government.”

“How have you not taken this down,...

In his highly anticipated memoir, On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the renowned director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (Niaid), offers a behind-the-scenes look at his experiences navigating the Covid-19 pandemic under the tumultuous administration of the former President Donald Trump.

Fauci, who has served under seven successive U.S. presidents, recounts a series of jarring interactions with the former president, in which the then-commander-in-chief, in his typical volatile temperament, hurled expletive-laden outbursts and made grandiose claims about his impending re-election victory.

According to Fauci’s account, Trump would alternate between expressing affection for the veteran medical expert and berating him for his cautious approach to public health measures, including social distancing, lockdowns and vaccine mandates. The president’s fury was particularly ignited when Fauci cautioned that immunity to Covid-19 might only last for a limited duration, potentially necessitating booster...

The streak continues for “General Hospital” (1.928 million), which averaged less than two million viewers for the 10th consecutive week and the 16th time this season during the week of June 17-21, 2024. This marks the longest time the show has been below that benchmark.

While the soap improved week-to-week among both Women 18-49 and Women 25-54, tying “The View” (2.336 million) in Women 18-49, each with a 0.20 rating, and topping the talk show among Women 25-54 (0.34 rating vs. 0.31 rating), the soap did tie its series low among rounded Women 18-49 (o.2 rating) for the 13th consecutive week, which is the same amount of weeks of ratings lows it took before the show opted to replace its then head writer Ron Carlivati in 2015.

Compared to the same week last year, “General Hospital” is down -194,000 viewers while “The View” gained +31,000 viewers. Additionally, “The View” saw its best performance among Total Viewers since the...

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Alex Wagner and Chris Hayes look nothing like the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Potomac or Salt Lake City who have held forth for years on sister cable outlet Bravo. Come September, there might be some similarities.

MSNBC plans to hold an immersive day-long event for die-hard fans of the progressive-tinged news-and-discussion outlet, one that will put more than a dozen of its hosts and anchors in front of hundreds of attendees at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Participants will be able to hear from Jen Psaki, Joy Reid, Katy Tur and Ari Melber, among others. Approximately 230 will be able to attend a special dinner and reception, and there are plans to give attendees a preview of an upcoming MSNBC film.

The event, titled “MSNBC Live: Democracy 2024” and slated to take place September 7, has all the trappings of another gathering held under the auspices of parent company NBCUniversal.

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on The Late Show on Monday night to promote his new memoir, On Call. The former Chief Medical Advisor to the President of United States took the opportunity to chat with host Stephen Colbert about his challenging relationship with Donald Trump during the Covid pandemic.

After a discussion about Fauci’s earlier career, Colbert asked Fauci about the chapter in his book titled “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not,” inquiring why he picked that name.

“I had a very complicated relationship with President Trump,” Fauci replied.

At the Turning Point Action conference on Saturday, controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) vowed to send Dr. Anthony Fauci to prison for his Covid-19 response. Speaking at the conference in Detroit, Greene accused Fauci of “crimes against humanity.” Greene’s words led to the crowd chanting, “Lock him up.”

“I’ll never forget when the administration and the speaker of the House brought in nearly 30,000 National Guardsmen and turned our Capitol complex into a military base,” Greene said. “They masked schoolchildren. They shut down schools. They closed beaches. They silenced your speech.”

“They attacked the very core of our freedoms, all for a virus that they made in a lab in Wuhan, China,” Greene added. “And yes, Dr. Anthony Fauci should be tried for crimes against humanity.”

Although Greene criticized the current administration, the previous administration was in office at the pandemic’s height in 2020. The former president carried...

The No. 1 boy is on top once again.

Jeremy Strong took home his first Tony award Sunday night, winning the Best Actor in a Play Tony for his role as Doctor Thomas Stockmann in “An Enemy of the People.” The play — originally produced in the 1880s — centers on a whistleblower who discovers that there is poison in the town’s water supply. His brother (Michael Imperioli) and the town want him to be quiet lest he hurt the burgeoning local economy. Needless to say, there are plenty of current real-world parallels about truth tellers, science, and health vs economy issues.

“I want to thank the ushers and the front of house staff who see me walking in every day looking like I’ve just been run over by a truck, and see me walk out somehow looking even worse,” Strong joked in his acceptance speech. “Sam [Gold] and Amy [Herzog], you guys,...

Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) was rebuked by Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) for refusing to call Dr. Anthony Fauci by his title at this week’s committee hearing.

Greene is a vocal critic of Fauci, the former head of the Cdd, and began a controversial line of questioning during the House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing regarding the origins of Covid-19 and the federal response to the pandemic.

She angered her Democratic colleagues by frequently referring to the president’s chief medical adviser as “Mr.” and saying he was not a doctor.

“Do the American people deserve to be abused like that Mr. Fauci,” she asked Fauci. “Because you’re not a doctor, you’re Mr. Fauci in my few minutes.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) then chimed in to offer an objection to Greene’s remarks.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former CDC director, endured criticism during a House hearing on Monday morning for his response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fauci declared he has “nothing to hide” in his opening statement before the Select Subcommittee on the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Conservatives have hammered him on his response to the virus – everything from mask mandates to vaccine guidelines and even origin possibilities.

“Americans were aggressively bullied, shamed and silenced for merely questioning or debating issues such as social distancing, masks, vaccines or the origins of Covid,” Ohio Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R) stated as the hearing started.

Wenstrup, who stated that he wanted accountability in the hearing, accused Fauci of promoting “one of the most invasive regimes of domestic policy the U.S. has ever seen.”

Fauci mentioned these issues during his opening statement, labeling certain matters “seriously distorted.”

He forcefully rejected accusations that he interfered in research about the pandemic’s origins,...

A hearing in the House Oversight Committee once again devolved into chaos as Republican lawmakers attempted to pillory former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci over his involvement in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fauci was summoned before the committee on Monday, where Republicans grilled him over the effectiveness of social distancing measures, his relationship with major pharmaceutical companies, and a slew of pandemic-era conspiracies.

Never one to miss an opportunity to perform for C-span’s cameras, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) refused to address Fauci as a doctor,...
