Roseanne Barr, the comedian ABC fired in 2018 over a racist tweet, did not "land a comeback role" so much as secretly make one herself.

Barr has wrapped production on "Meemaw," an eight-episode family comedy she began quietly filming in Austin, Texas, in November 2025, Page Six Hollywood reported Thursday.

The MAGA star reportedly solicited funds from private investors to film the project as a fully union production, and the report names no network or streamer to carry it....

Veteran “60 Minutes” journalist Scott Pelley described unprecedented corporate pressure to make CBS News coverage more favorable to President Donald Trump, drawing a stunning comparison to Fox News from one of its former anchors.

“I had never seen anything like this,” Pelley said Wednesday during a panel discussion organized by Speak Up For Justice, according to The Guardian’s media reporter Jeremy Barr.

“In my experience, and having talked to my colleagues as well, there was an imperative to move our coverage in the direction of the president. To put a thumb on the scale, if you will, in terms of the president's viewpoint,” Pelley said....

President Donald Trump’s legal team lashed out at the BBC on Tuesday after the broadcaster asked a federal judge to force him to sit for a deposition his lawyers canceled in his own $10 billion lawsuit.

The combative statement accused the BBC of election interference but did not address the deposition-scheduling dispute, Guardian reporter Jeremy Barr noted on X. It was posted after Trump's legal team helped him avoid an upcoming deposition with lawyers representing the BBC, scheduled for Friday.

"The formerly respected and now disgraced BBC defamed President Trump by intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively doctoring his speech in a brazen attempt to interfere in the 2024 Presidential Election,” a spokesperson said, according to a new report in The Guardian....

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is parachuting into Kentucky to raise money for the Republican running in a seat the GOP has held for more than a decade that suddenly seems to be in play.

Johnson will headline a 90-minute breakfast fundraiser Friday for Ralph Alvarado, a Winchester doctor and former state senator, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. Tickets are $3,500, or $5,000 with a photo, and the location is given only to guests who RSVP.

The event is hosted by the Alvarado Victory Committee, a joint fundraising group made up of Alvarado's campaign, the Republican Party of Kentucky and the National Republican Congressional Committee. Alvarado's campaign did not respond to the Herald-Leader's request for comment....

Republicans accustomed to safe seats are suddenly campaigning hard, and Democrats are chasing House districts that weren’t on their radar when the cycle began, Axios reported on Wednesday.

Members like Reps. John McGuire (R-VA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) weren’t seen as at risk at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term. Candidates in these districts point to higher prices, corruption, the Iran war and anti-incumbent anger. Most of these seats haven’t gone Democratic in years, and Axios says they’d flip only if Democrats win the national vote by double digits.

Michigan Rep. Jack Bergman, who defeated Democrat Callie Barr by 21 points two years ago, is airing sharp attack ads calling her “Crooked Callie,” in contrast to his low-key 2024 campaign. Virginia’s McGuire, who won by 15 in 2024, is also running attack ads against former Rep. Tom Perriello....

A federal election official entertained a pitch from a group tied to President Donald Trump to discredit public comments on making voters prove citizenship.

According to a Wednesday article by Democracy Docket, emails showed that Christy McCormick, a former Republican vice chair of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, kept in regular contact with leaders of the Election Integrity Network during the agency's public comment period on the proof-of-citizenship proposal.

The Election Integrity Network is a conservative group founded by Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer and longtime Trump ally. The legal group Democracy Forward obtained the emails between McCormick and leaders of Mitchell's group....
