In his speech, he seemed to be living in a reality that is not the one we’re actually living in. And I think that is an important skeleton key at this point to understanding the Trump administration. Do you remember when Times Opinion, in fact, published, in the first administration, the famous incognito “we are the resistance inside the Trump administration.” Of course I remember. Paul Ryan, another senior Republican who did not owe his career to Donald Trump, who was not fully bought in on Trump. I thought one of both funny and dark refrains of the speech was where he kept saying that it wasn’t his idea to name the Trump savings accounts, Trump accounts, “Their children’s brand-new Trump accounts.

In February 2026, a video circulating on social media sites such as Instagram and TikTok claimed to show U.S. women's ice hockey team captain Hilary Knight declining an invitation to the White House from U.S. President Donald Trump. In the video, Knight supposedly claimed the team's refusal was about more than scheduling conflicts (the reason reportedly given by the team for declining). But there were several discrepancies between that video and a Feb. 25 interview Knight gave "SportsCenter". In the social media video, Knight spoke with strange pauses (or a lack thereof) and inflections that were not present in her interview on SportsCenter. In Knight's real SportsCenter interview, she called the president's words a "distasteful joke" that resulted in the women's on-ice victories being overshadowed.

Savannah Guthrie intends to return to work at NBC’s “Today” show at some point, according to two sources close to the network. When that might happen is highly uncertain, and completely up to Guthrie, given this month’s agonizing and all-consuming search for her mother Nancy. “Living in this uncertainty is agonizing” for Guthrie and her siblings, Hoda Kotb said on NBC after playing the video. Kotb, who departed the show in January 2025, returned to co-host “Today” due to Guthrie’s absence. But once Nancy Guthrie was reported missing and Savannah flew to Tucson to support the search, “Today” stayed home in New York, and Kotb returned to Studio 1A to fill in for her friend.

Her path to the job was paved by concessions that David Ellison and his Skydance Media made to gain the support of Trump-picked regulators to acquire Paramount. “I don’t think that’s hyperbolic.”Turner, a billionaire media entrepreneur, revolutionized TV news when he founded the 24-hour, all-news channel in 1980. Multiple CBS News staffers who were not authorized to speak to the media resorted to curse words after reading the news. Paramount’s victory would add not just CNN but also Warner’s prestigious HBO network to its portfolio. During an interview on CNBC in December, David Ellison acknowledged having recent conversations with Trump that touched on CNN.

If you're a millennial, especially a woman, there's a good chance American Girl was part of your childhood. Maybe you had your own doll(s) or spent hours playing with one at a friend's house. The updated dolls are smaller to give them a more contemporary look and storyline. Does it feel fine since the original dolls are still around? Or do you think this move takes away from what made American Girl special in the first place?

Netflix is walking away from a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery's studio and streaming assets after the WBD board on Thursday deemed a revised bid by Paramount Skydance to be a superior offer. Earlier this week, Paramount raised its bid to buy the entirety of WBD to $31 per share, up from $30 per share, all cash. Last week, Netflix granted WBD a seven-day waiver to reengage with Paramount, resulting in the higher bid. Netflix had four business days to make changes to its own proposal in light of Paramount's superior bid, the WBD board said in a statement Thursday.
