President Donald Trump’s call with the Artemis II crew Monday night had a seriously awkward moment … when the crew seemingly decided they were done talking to him -- and the prez blamed it on a glitch!
Just check out the stream between Trump and the 4 astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft -- NASA's Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Trump is gushing about their bravery and even tells them his good pal Wayne Gretzky is in awe of them. The crew gives the speech some smiles and a thumbs up ... and then go silent.
The stream sits quiet for about a minute ... but they do eventually reconnect with Trump, who notes he thinks they may have "gotten cut off." After Trump informs the crew of his words they may have missed ... Reid says they totally heard him, and are also proud of their fellow Canadians.
President Trump is not only planning to bomb Iran back to the "stone ages" ... but he's now threatening to kill off the "whole civilization."
Trump was in a very dark mood Tuesday morning when he jumped on Truth Social to warn Iran that its entire civilization will die tonight unless its leadership opens up the Strait of Hormuz.
As you know, Iran closed the waterway to the U.S. and Israel after those countries went to war with Iran. The closure has caused a major upheaval in energy flows, and oil prices have spiked.
Nancy Matayer Bowen and her husband -- who's been arrested, accused of murdering her -- were locked in a legal battle with their homeowners association months before the Coral Springs, Florida vice mayor was slain, TMZ has learned.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Nancy and Stephen were sued in November 2025 by their homeowners association.
The HOA claimed the couple defaulted on certain fees and asked for permission to foreclose on the home to collect.
There are a couple of new notes in the Nancy Guthrie cold case ... both from the same person offering information on the kidnapper, but for the first time they're revealing an exact location and claiming they saw her in Mexico.
TMZ received the first new note Monday morning -- the same day Savannah Guthrie made her return to "TODAY" -- and it's from the person who has been offering to rat out the kidnappers for nearly two months now. They say their demand for 1 bitcoin to "deliver them on a silver platter" still stands.
Shortly after we talked about the first note on "TMZ Live," the person sent a second letter saying ... "I Saw her alive with them in the state of Sonora Mexico."
NASA’s Artemis II is about to reach a huge milestone -- the crew’s closest pass to the moon -- and you can watch it all go down live here.
Four astronauts -- Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen, and Commander Reid Wiseman -- are making history, heading to the moon for the first lunar mission in more than 50 years ... and this flyby is the closest they’ll get.
It’s a major flex for space travel too -- they’re going farther than any humans ever have, beating the record set by Apollo 12. Their Orion spacecraft is now deep in the moon’s orbit following Wednesday's lift-off, officially feeling more pull from the moon than the Earth.
Well, Donald Trump is just slinging slurs in press conferences now ... speaking to reporters Monday, the President of the United States reflected on his relationship with Kim Jong Un, who he says he gets along with "very well."
While Trump claimed North Korea's supreme leader says "very nice things" about him, KJU has some harsher words for Joe Biden, saying ... "He used to call Joe Biden a 'mentally r*****ed person,' okay? So don't tell me about your stuff."
DJT then said it a second time, adding ... "He was so nasty to Joe Biden. It was terrible. But to me, he likes Trump."
Donald says the reason things are "very nice" between the U.S. and North Korea is because Kim Jong Un likes him.
Buy her some peanuts and Cracker Jack ... Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit up a New York Yankees game Sunday as the second week of Congress' paid vacation gets underway ... while thousands of federal workers are still going unpaid.

President Donald Trump is firing off a major warning ... going after a journalist who reported on the high-stakes rescue mission after a U.S. fighter jet went down in Iran last week.
During a press conference Monday, Trump didn’t name names -- but the message was loud and clear, aimed straight at Axios journalist Barak Ravid-- demanding he cough up his source ... or risk jail time.
Here’s the backdrop -- U.S. forces managed to track down and rescue two service members after their F-15E Strike Eagle went down -- but Trump says the story put everything on the line ... not just the two being rescued, but the hundreds involved in pulling it off.
President Donald Trump was all about trading the world of politics for playground clout -- turning the White House lawn into his own autograph booth for a pack of hyped-up kids at an Easter egg hunt.
Honestly, it's an exceptionally ridiculous scene -- Trump ditching the heavy politics for kid duty, posted up Monday signing doodles while one super-keen kid practically shoved paper in his face ... and Trump, never missing a beat, pitching the others on flipping his autograph for $25K on eBay.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Trump signing without a little detour -- even in full family-friendly mode, he slipped back into form, taking a swipe at former President Joe Biden and telling the kids he actually signs his name ... unlike Biden and his autopen.
There's a bit of a legal snag after Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen's husband was charged with her murder in Florida.
Court papers were filed Monday asking the judge to "relieve the Public Defender from further representation" of Nancy's husband, Stephen Bowen ... saying it'd be a conflict of interest.
In the motion obtained by TMZ, the Broward County public defender's office says they're "ethically precluded" from representing Bowen because several members of their office "had both personal and professional relationships" with Nancy.

The outlet reported Monday that the staffer -- who asked not to be named -- received lewd texts from the congressman ... who reportedly asked "what kind of panties" she wears, told her he wanted her to "squeeze my balls," and badgered her for nudes more than a dozen times over the course of three days.
President Donald Trump went after the U.S. Supreme Court and birthright citizenship in a wild 1 AM rant on Truth Social.
Early Monday morning, Trump went off about SCOTUS' upcoming ruling on birthright citizenship ... where they will decide whether or not to uphold his executive order ending the 14th Amendment right.
In the late-night post, DT called birthright citizenship a "scam" and a "money making HOAX" ... saying it's "too bad" the Supreme Court justices -- three of whom he appointed himself -- aren't basing their ruling around conservative radio program "The Mark Levin Show."
Savannah Guthrie is officially back on the “Today” show ... after stepping away for two months amid her mother’s disappearance.
