Republican goes off on Madison Cawthorn allegations for almost 10 minutes: 'You should name them'

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is so furious with Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) that he was spitting fire on the Fox network Sunday.

Cawthorn got in trouble this week when he announced that members of his party invited him to sex parties. Other Republicans, Cawthorn said, spend their time and efforts fighting the drug war, meanwhile, he witnessed them doing cocaine. While many other Republicans have been caught promoting white supremacists, klan ideology or using anti-Semitic imagery, it was Cawthorn that drew a stern warning from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Zelensky's begs the Grammys to help tell Ukraine's story: Do anything 'but not silence'

A pre-taped video from Kyiv on Sunday, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the crowd at the Grammys that the musicians of the world cannot stay silent at a time of such horror.

“The war. What is more opposite of music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people,” Zelensky said. “Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died, and we will never see them drawing. Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning in bomb shelters but alive. Our loved ones don’t know if we will be together again. The war doesn’t let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence.”

Speaking to CNN's Jim Acosta, The Grio's April Ryan quoted LL Cool J, "Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years."

National Security Adviser John Bolton spoke to CNN on Thursday morning to give further information about his claim that Donald Trump was lying when he said he didn't know what a "burner phone" was.
