Veteran late-night host Seth Meyers admitted in a recent podcast interview that the possibility of his show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, ending has become a serious worry for him—largely due to forces beyond his control. Meyers, who has hosted nearly 1,700 episodes since the series began in 2014, shared his anxiety during an appearance on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. While he once feared not being good enough, he now finds himself more concerned about the broader challenges facing late-night television. The industry itself, he suggested, may no longer support the format—regardless of his personal performance. The cancellation of…

Queens Assemblyman and mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani has reaffirmed his intent to disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group (SRG)—a high-profile tactical unit that played a critical role in responding to last week’s deadly Midtown Manhattan mass shooting. The SRG, known for leading rapid-response interventions during violent incidents and large-scale unrest, arrived first on the scene of the Park Avenue rooftop massacre that claimed four lives, including that of Officer Didarul Islam. Mamdani, who previously called on social media to “dismantle” the unit over allegations of protest-related misconduct and costly settlements, now faces backlash for targeting the very team that became…
President Donald Trump stated that Jeffrey Epstein was banned from Mar-a-Lago after allegedly recruiting young women who worked at the club’s spa, including Virginia Giuffre. According to Trump, Epstein ignored repeated warnings not to approach staff members and took advantage of his access to hire them away. Trump described the incident as theft of personnel, claiming that after a second violation, Epstein was permanently removed from the property. He emphasized that Giuffre, who later became one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers, never raised any complaints about Mar-a-Lago or his management. Trump denied ever traveling to Epstein’s island and dismissed any…
In a bold energy move, U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has approved the reopening of California’s Santa Ynez offshore oil field, which sat idle since a major 2015 spill. The region is estimated to hold 190 million barrels of recoverable oil—representing a major expansion of Pacific offshore production. The decision follows routine cleanup and regulatory reviews, but environmental advocates—including Senator Adam Schiff—warn the site remains vulnerable to pipeline corrosion and coastal contamination. Schiff has criticized the reopening as short-sighted, especially given California’s recent wildfire and pollution disasters. The Biden-era halts on new offshore drilling have now been reversed under the…

CNN faced backlash after incorrectly reporting the race of Manhattan gunman Shane Tamura, who fatally shot four people in a Midtown office tower.

Tamura, 34, allegedly launched the deadly attack with a shotgun and was later killed in a confrontation with NYPD officers. Authorities are still investigating his motives, but initial reports suggest he may have had a personal grievance tied to one of the building’s tenants. CNN’s premature description…

The Department of Justice has filed a misconduct complaint against Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., citing remarks he allegedly made that questioned the Trump administration’s willingness to comply with judicial rulings on immigration. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who filed the complaint, argues that Boasberg’s comments—made during a private Judicial Conference—compromised the appearance of impartiality and judicial independence. The DOJ claims these remarks centered on a hypothetical scenario in which the administration would ignore federal court decisions, triggering what Boasberg described as a potential “constitutional crisis.” The complaint requests Boasberg’s removal from an ongoing…
Jasmine Crockett (D‑TX) reportedly called The Atlantic shortly before an article profiling her was published, demanding it be canceled after learning the writer interviewed fellow House members without notifying her first. She declared she was “shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions,” though the piece ultimately ran.
