Democrat Zohran Mamdani, whose rapid political ascent has captivated US politics, won the New York City mayoral election on Wednesday, defeating Republican Curtis Silwa and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani, 34, was an overwhelming favorite entering the vote. Silwa, a self-described populist known in the city for his vigilante-like Guardian Angels Group, was considered a huge outsider. Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 following sexual misconduct allegations, ran as an independent after a surprise defeat in the Democratic primary.

which looks at how the DOJ during the Biden administration was overly cautious in pursuing cases against Trump and his allies over 2020 election interference, the January 6 riot and more. Attorney General Merrick Garland felt it was important to "turn the page from Donald Trump" and not look too closely at abuses of power, says Leonnig, who also stresses many "stubbornly brave people ... tried to do the right thing and could not succeed in this institution."

I saw those comments. I think they are completely irresponsible and based on zero evidence, Leavitt said. I think this is just another example of how the Democrat Party, unfortunately, stands for nothing; all they stand against is President Donald Trump. She continued: And I think it's quite sad to see that we have someone at the top of the ticket on an election day today saying such things about the president, when he obviously had nothing to do with those threats.

My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka.

Nigeria's Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar on Tuesday pushed back against US President Donald Trump's claim that the Nigerian government was failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in the West African nation. At a press conference in Berlin alongside his German counterpart Johann Wadephul, Tuggar pointed to a physical copy of his country's "constitutional commitment to religious freedom and rule of law." "This is what shows that it's impossible for there to be a religious persecution that can be supported in any way, shape or form by the government of Nigeria at any level, be it federal, be it regional, be it local, it's impossible," Tuggar said.

Scott Adams, the creator of the iconic Dilbert comic strip, was able to call on a friend in a very high place President Donald Trump to intervene on his behalf get his health care provider, Kaiser of Northern California, to finally schedule an appointment so that he can receive life-extending treatment for metastasized prostate cancer. Best President ever, the famous and controversial East Bay-based cartoonist said on X early Monday, confirming that Trump took time away from running the country and a part of the world to help him get his appointment.

that was but but Norah, that was Joe Biden's war, not my war. I inherited that stupid war. That should not have been a war. That would've never happened if I were president. And by the way, for four years it didn't happen. There was never even a doubt. Then the election was rigged and stolen, and all of a sudden you see them forming up at the line. And now I come back and I'm gonna get that one solved too.

"She has good taste," Trump told reporters. "That's a hot truck."

"I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever," Trump told reporters, referring to recent polls that he claims show his popularity. (In reality, the average poll shows Trump with a -6.8 approval rating.)

Now, true to form, he's made good on that promise in ways both alarming and absurd. Using the Justice Department as his personal retribution regiment, going after perceived enemies like John Bolton, James Comey, and Letitia James, all under the grotesque guise of "justice." He even posted publicly what was clearly meant to be a private message to Attorney General , telling her to "get on the ball."

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg privately met with Attorney General Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice earlier this year, according to a new book. In "Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America," ABC reporter Jonathan Karl reports that Zuckerberg asked Bondi for "advice on how to effectively speak" with President Donald Trump about "Meta's concerns." The previously unreported meeting took place on March 12, during one of Zuckerberg's several trips to Washington, DC, in 2025.

In the normal course of history, the president of the United States is a figure who inspires optimism in the American people. The 47th president prefers to stir feelings of fear, vulnerability, hopelessness, and political inevitability-the sense that he, and only he, can rescue the nation from looming peril. Since his second inauguration, Donald Trump has seized authoritarian control over the federal government and demanded the obedience of the other powerful institutions of American society-universities, law firms, media companies.

Many of them are people I have known to be cautious, sober, and not prone to hyperbole. Yet they used words like nightmare and warned that Americans need to be ready for 'really wild stuff.' They described a system under attack and reaching a breaking point. They enumerated a long list of concerns about next year's midterms, but they largely declined to make predictions about the 2028 presidential election.

OK, now let me tell you how bad I think this is, though... If you're Christian, I want you to get into Revelation 13:3 and I want you to read that verse. Yeah, about the antichrist,

The most infamous example of his experimentation with AI-generated videos came ahead of the No Kings protests earlier this month. In the clip, the president is decked out in full Top Gun gear, piloting a fighter jet bearing "KING TRUMP" on its side. Instead of a traditional pilot's helmet, however, the president is wearing a literal crown, just in case the rest of the visuals were too subtle.

South Park continued roasting of President Donald Trump and his administration with a special Halloween episode that once again featured the president with a micropenis, but also introduced Attorney General Pam Bondi with increasing amounts of feces on her face in a running gag. In the Friday episode of South Park, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone took on the crypto industry, Trump's reconstruction of the White House East Wing, and more.

The book, titled Retribution, cites Pence's notes from the 6 January 2021 phone call with Trump, who was purportedly trying to shame his vice-president into refusing to certify Joe Biden's victory weeks earlier. If you do that, I made a big mistake five years ago, Trump is said to have told Pence, who was his running mate when he won his first presidency in 2016. You'll go down as a wimp.

If you don't support yourself, who will? That appeared to be President Donald Trump's motto on Sunday night, with the commander-in-chief posting a picture of himself to Truth Social that included an Instagram-like caption that sang his praises for working like a dog for no money in order to save a Country that doesn't appreciate his sacrifice! The picture was of Trump walking, looking a bit tired and glum, on the White House lawn.

I'd be allowed to do that, Trump said, in an exchange with reporters aboard Air Force One while traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Tokyo, Japan, on Monday, the latest leg of a five-day trip to Asia which he hopes to cap with an agreement on a trade war truce with the Chinese president, Xi Jinping. But he added: I wouldn't do that. I think it's too cute. Yeah, I would rule that out because it's too cute.

I do not like the guy at all. The first thing for me was he didn't release the Epstein files. They're even acting like they didn't exist. And, of course, they're sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he's blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef. Hey, I'm not biased, man. He talked a good game, he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.

TRUMP: They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. They have uh AOC's low IQ. You give her an IQ test have her pass, like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. I took those are very hard, they're really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. I don't think Jasmine the first couple of questions are easy: a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25. They couldn't come close to answering any of those questions.

Jonathan Karl has spent more than a decade at the center of America's political storm, chronicling Donald Trump's rise, presidency, and return to office. As ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent and co-anchor of This Week, Karl has reported on every major turn of the Trump era. In his latest book, Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America, Karl captures what he describes on Tuesday's episode of Mediaite's Press Club as the greatest comeback in the history of American politics.

In fact, we here at The Late Show were able to acquire a copy of Trump's MRI, Colbert said, sharing a mock scan of the president. And it looks it looks perfect. He paused before another graphic appeared, zoomed in on Trump's abdomen: Wait a second, what's that in his stomach? It's the Epstein files! That's where they were! I knew it, Colbert said, riffing on the suspicions the administration and Republican lawmakers were deliberately stalling on their release.
