Rosie O'Donnell is heading back behind a talk-show desk this week as she fills in as guest-host on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

The former host of "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" and "The View" will host the late-night show starting Monday night while Kimmel's on vacation, reported Variety.

Attorney General Todd Blanche, President Donald Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, was named by a court-ordered brief as the key reason a federal judge stripped Trump's IRS settlement of its power in court.

Court-appointed attorneys filed the memorandum last week in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, responding to a judicial order directing them to evaluate Trump's request to pause sanctions while he appeals.

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta joked Monday that he may soon receive a visit from the U.S. Secret Service after sharing – and bursting out laughing – over an image depicting first lady Melania Trump shoving a catering crate containing President Donald Trump off a cliff.

Trump was scrutinized last week for “humiliatingly having to hide inside of a catering truck” out of fear of a supposed attempt on his life from Tehran, an incident that occurred in July but was first reported last week by The Washington Post.

President Donald Trump’s Sunday decision to side with North Korea over South Korea and then threaten another ally appears to have been the last straw for a contributor to the conservative National Review.

Trump rattled two allies within days of each other this week, threatening to bomb Oman while ordering the Pentagon to pull back from decades-old military drills with South Korea.

A year after President Donald Trump threatened "harsh measures" against Colorado unless the state released convicted election denier Tina Peters early from prison, new reporting has revealed an apparent extortion plot by the administration.

A newly disclosed email is renewing scrutiny over whether the White House followed through on that threat, wrote MS NOW's Steve Benen.

Less than a week after delivering President Donald Trump a brutal “one-two punch” over his "supposed digestive incidents,” Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed “twisted the knife” further by again drawing attention to the president’s “alleged odor-causing release issues,” journalist Tommy Christopher flagged Monday.

On Aug. 8, Trump launched what Zeteo’s Martin Pengelly called an “Islamophobic and racist” attack on El-Sayed by highlighting his wife wearing an Islamic headscarf. Trump also said El-Sayed was “full of s---,” to which the Senate hopeful quipped: “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.”

Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who helped draft the first Trump administration’s National Security Strategy, argued Monday that President Donald Trump has now dismantled that framework, and in doing so, may have "invited the next Pearl Harbor."

“I warned [in 2019] that flipping the script would put the United States in unnecessary mortal peril by exposing us to surprise [attacks] and stripping us of our greatest legacy and strongest protection: leadership of the free world,” Taylor wrote in an analysis published Monday on his Substack. “It’s happening now.”

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who took office roughly a month ago, exchanged messages with someone impersonating White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and officials are still trying to determine what happened.

"This is a very odd story," said CNN's Betsy Klein, "and there are a lot of questions about how something like this could have happened."

An investigation into Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's six-year crackdown on noncitizen voting found that he produced just one charge from a referral list of 53 suspects.

Through a public records request, NBC News obtained 53 names referred to Paxton's office for investigation — and only one, Ada Otuka, was formally charged with noncitizen voting. The NBC News report was published on Monday.
