Chris Christie might be the former governor of Bruce Springsteen's home state, but Bruce is still "The Boss" ... sauntering right past the Republican politician in a wild new video.
The clip -- taken at Springsteen's Brooklyn concert Thursday -- shows Springsteen high fiving a few fans as he made his way down a walkway during the show ... before turning a corner where Christie's standing with a couple other dudes.
U.S Rep. Max Miller is fighting an Ohio doctor in court over allegations the Congressman falsely told police he made antisemitic remarks -- but the politician believes cell phone evidence proves he wasn't lying ... TMZ has learned.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Dr. Feras Hamdan sued the Congressman for defamation in February.
The Ohio-based doctor, a first-generation Palestinian American, claimed Miller, who is Jewish, smeared him as an "unhinged" and "deranged" antisemite who "threatened to kill" Miller and his family and "ran him off the road" in highway incident.
The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control. Today I was run off the road in Rocky River, and the life of me and my family was threatened by a person who proceeded to show a Palestinian flag before taking off. I have filed a police report with Capitol Police and… pic.twitter.com/H6JnupcRIA@MaxMillerOH
Hamdan claims Miller called the police to report the incident, and the doctor says he ended up being charged with ethnic intimidation and tampering with evidence, both felonies.
RFK Jr. had a visitor Thursday at his office -- a famous cousin who was bearing what we're guessing are some unwanted gifts.
Jack Schlossberg, President John F. Kennedy's grandson, showed up at the Department of Health and Human Services with a bottle of Tylenol in one hand and a subpoena in the other.
We can explain.
Jack told Charliethe Tylenol is purely anticipatory ... anticipating the moment when Schlossberg -- a New York candidate for Congress -- takes the oath of office, because that's gonna give RFK Jr. a major headache.
The White House is going full TikTok troll mode again, this time using a Tate McRae track to hype up its border wall push ... while taking a not-so-subtle shot at China in the process.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
In a new video posted to the administration’s official TikTok account, it shows dramatic clips of President Donald Trump arriving in China ... while one of Tate’s moody anthems, "Just Keep Watching," blasts in the background.
The post brags the U.S. wall is coming together better than the Great Wall of China itself ... instantly igniting chaos in the comment section, where users debated everything from politics to whether Tate even knew her music was being used in the first place.
Eric Swalwelland his wife Brittany Watts are reportedly living separately in the fallout from the sexual misconduct allegations that derailed the former congressman's political career.
Sources close to the couple toldPEOPLE... Brittany was completely blindsided by the accusations against Swalwell and had "no way" of knowing about the alleged behavior before it exploded publicly last month.
Brittany is now allegedly staying apart from Eric with their three children while trying to keep life as stable and private as possible for the kids. She was also recently spotted without her wedding ring.
5/15 -- 7:48 AM PT -- Ben Williamson, Assistant Director for Public Affairs at the FBI, responded Thursday to the AP's reporting ... writing, "The AP is attempting to spin an invitation from the Commanding General of Indo Pacom to a military base as a party or vacation, which is so stupid."
He continued, "The DoW routinely does these engagements with interagency partners - to include this one - and when he was Chief of staff for DoD in Trump 1, Patel offered the same event for many partners that came to visit. It's a historical tour to honor heroes who died on the USS Arizona - not a party."
Kash Patel went to Hawaii last year for what the FBI said was a work trip and definitelynot a vacation ... though unless he was checking on the FBI office underwater, it's hard to say why he needed to go snorkeling.
According to the Associated Press ... new emails show government officials referring to a "VIP snorkel" on an exclusive excursion near the U.S.S. Arizona -- the ship sunk during Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Snorkeling and diving are generally not permitted near the wreckage of the battleship ... but the U.S. Navy and National Park Service have allowed some visiting dignitaries to dive around the site.
Kyrsten Sinema is fighting to get her hands on her boyfriend Matthew Ammel’s ex-wife’s therapy records ... TMZ has learned.

Jacob is a self-described "whiny Gen Zer" ... and he's picking up the battle cry of booting old folks from Congress ... but 87-year-old Rep. Maxine Waters doesn't see it that way.
Our TMZ DC guy ran into the Congresswoman from L.A. Thursday, and asked if she'd be down with an age limit on people who serve in the nation's Capitol.
Waters kinda scoffed, saying we should be looking at effectiveness, not birthdates.
Jacob then upped the stakes by asking about our current Prez, who turns 80 in 1 month. Well, that triggered Waters big time ... as she launched into all the reasons why he shouldn't be in the Oval.
But our DC man pressed her, and she clearly doesn't think 80 is automatically too old to be Commander in Chief. And then Jacob said, what about 100?
8:31 AM PT -- We asked Spencer if he has ever lived in the trailer, and he said no, adding, "I have never told anyone I lived there." However, in the campaign ad, he says squarely, "This is where I live" as he stood in front of the trailer.
Spencer Pratt has gained traction in his campaign for L.A. Mayor by showing what he says Karen Bass did to his family -- forcing them to live in a trailer after his home burned down. But TMZ has learned ... he's traded in the trailer for one of the swankiest hotels in L.A. ... but Spencer says he was forced to ditch the trailer because of death threats.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Spencer has been staying at the Hotel Bel-Air for more than a month. We're also told his wife, Heidi, and their kids are staying in Carpinteria, just north of L.A. So the trailer is sitting lonely.
The U.S. Senate is finally getting a little taste of its own medicine ... 'cause they’ll now lose their paychecks during future government shutdowns too.
The Senate unanimously passed a resolution Thursday blocking senators from getting paid when the federal government shuts down ... basically turning the heat back on lawmakers after federal workers got screwed during past standoffs -- particularly this most recent one, the longest yet.
Republican Senatorfrom Louisiana John Kennedy -- who pushed the measure -- called it a "shared sacrifice," according to the Associated Press ... after thousands of workers were left unpaid during recent impasses, including a 43-day shutdown in October 2025, and then another this year's partial shutdown that lasted 73 days, until a sudden agreement in April.
Nicki Minaj is shedding more light on why she turned to the MAGA side ... and it mostly revolves around two powerful Black men.
The rapper told Time... there's a large, but quiet resentment toward Jay-Z in the rap world ... the mogul who she's accused of trying to sabotage her career. And on top of that ... Jay is close pals with Barack Obama.
As she tells it, the former president is a huge sticking point for her for two reasons ... first, there's an expectation that Black entertainers reflexively vote Democratic ... and second, she despised him saying that some Black male voters were uncomfortable voting for Kamala Harris -- which she found "condescending."
In recent posts on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump reposted a call to "Arrest Obama the traitor."
Trump also shared an A.I.-generated image showing Obama, Biden and Nancy Pelosi bathing in a filthy Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He captioned the post, "Dumacrats Love Sewage."
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's son has issued an apology after he unloaded on New York Congressman Mike Lawler with an antisemitic and homophobic tirade Tuesday night.
William Paul went off on his drunken rant at a D.C. bar ... when he butted into a conversation the Republican lawmaker was having with someone else, the New York Post reports.
Lawler told the Post ... William began by asking if he was Jewish ... and from that stellar start, he brought up the Iran War, reportedly saying ... "This war, it's all about the gays and the Jews, and I hate them both, and I don't care if they die."
AOC's got some advice for Spencer Pratt in the wake of the revelation he's not living in his now-famous trailer but rather at the swanky Hotel Bel Air -- authenticity rules, so own your story.
Charliegot the Bronx-born Congresswoman out on Capitol Hill Wednesday ... and chatted her up a subject she knows well ... first-timers entering the political world.
AOC isn't well-versed on reality TV, but she knows a thing or 2 about entertainers running for office. Long story short -- it ain't necessarily good or bad.
Karen Bass is reacting to A.I.-generated political ads that cast her as The Joker and Spencer Pratt as The Dark Knight ... and she says things are getting too violent for her taste.
The mayor of Los Angeles sat down with CNN's Elex Michaelson -- a former "TMZ Live" guest host -- and responded to some of the striking visuals in the attack ads.
Bass feels the content is "taking on a violent turn" ... and she says it's worrisome because "when your messages are so hateful, or when you demonize people, then you do provoke people who are unstable."
