TV host Bill Maher will receive the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the Kennedy Center announced on Thursday — just days after the White House denied that the comedian would be awarded the honor. The annual award, which is given by the Kennedy Center, will be presented to Maher on June 28, right before the performing arts center closes for a two-year renovation. “For nearly three decades, the Mark Twain Prize has celebrated some of the greatest minds in comedy,” said Daravi. Past recipients of the Mark Twain Prize include Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Billy Crystal, Jon Stewart and Adam Sandler. A gala to present the award, typically held at the Kennedy Center, brings together comedians and entertainers.

Savannah Guthrie says her fame could have led to her mom's disappearanceNBC’s “Today” host Savannah Guthrie spoke out in her first interview since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing, the victim of an apparent kidnapping nearly two months ago.

And of course, the Cold War was still in effect for at least half of the last 80 years. Both countries see Iran as a threat to their power and want it weakened. About allocating weapons, Trump told the reporters, “we do that all the time. But Trump simply began the Iran war without consultation with Congress, and administration officials have refused to appear at hearings, instead briefing Congress behind closed doors. At an annual fundraising dinner for Republican members of Congress, Trump appeared to acknowledge he was violating the Constitution.

Never-Trump former Congressman Joe Walsh called out CNN star and frequent Trump defender Scott Jennings — and challenged him to a smackdown moderated by ex-CNN star Jim Acosta.

FORMER CONGRESSMAN JOE WALSH: Oh, he says he’s an utter fraud who’s an actor who plays a role. FORMER CONGRESSMAN JOE WALSH: Right.

Another piece of bipartisan legislation, introduced Tuesday in the House, would restrict federal government officials from participating in prediction markets. “They’re more worried about protecting their monopolies than protecting consumers.”It’s true that the bills restricting prediction markets would benefit the incumbent gambling industry.

March 26 (Reuters) - The Pentagon is weighing whether to redirect weapons originally meant for Ukraine to the Middle ‌East, as the war in Iran strains supplies of ‌some of the U.S. military's most critical munitions, the Washington Post reported on ​Thursday, citing three people familiar with the matter.

In response to a query about the report, NATO spokesperson Allison Hart said weapons ‌continue to be delivered to Kyiv.

But for 40 bucks for two nice pillows I figured what the heck! I thought it might not be thick enough at first because I was by then used to a hard memory foam pillow. It’s pretty much the perfect pillow for me personally and I’m a picky pillow person. A pillow is a pillow, right? This is the greatest pillow I’ve ever bought.

The walkout, driven by an ongoing industrial dispute, left the public broadcaster scrambling to fill its key time slots. Instead of fresh reporting, viewers were served older content featuring a story on Olympic swimmer Michael Klim and a trivia face-off among TV personalities. Even when Hard Quiz started at 7.30pm, the viewership only climbed to 77,000, still half of what current affairs typically draws. These plummeting figures highlight how sensitive TV audiences can be to scheduling changes, especially when trusted news programmes are replaced with repeats. As the impasse between ABC leadership and its unionised workforce continues, with about 1,600 union members out of 4,500 staff, ongoing disruption seems likely.

President Donald Trump is weighing several options for dramatically escalating the war against Iran should his latest push for diplomacy fail. Yet not only would those scenarios risk heavy casualties, there’s also little guarantee they would successfully end the conflict. “They’re defeated, they can’t make a comeback,” Trump said of Iran during a Cabinet meeting on Thursday. A 15-point peace proposal drawn up by Trump officials was swiftly rejected by Iran. “This would give Trump the opportunity to say, ‘I now control Iran’s oil,” said Gregory Brew, a senior analyst on Iran and the energy sector at political risk firm Eurasia Group.
