D.L. Hughley is all in on Don Lemon's take, saying he agrees -- you can be Black and Republican, but supporting MAGA? That's a no-go.

We caught up with D.L. on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and he didn’t hold back -- saying Black people know they'll be tokenized, especially since Trump’s just using Black voters, trotting them out when it suits him ... like when Stephen A. Smith claimed Black people relate to Trump because of his felony convictions.

Catch the video ... D.L. dives deeper into his examples, noting how the Prez uses marginalized groups to sanitize his stances.

A "Cancer Alley" resident is speaking out after the Trump administration dropped a federal lawsuit aimed at cutting toxic emissions ... telling TMZ it's upsetting but not surprising, given the president's vow to dismantle so-called "radical" DEI programs.

Roxanne Keller joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday, pointing out the highly polluted area of Louisiana known as Cancer Alley is a predominantly Black community, so she's not shocked that a Biden-era lawsuit against the chemical company Denka Performance Elastomer was dismissed last week.

Roxanne developed fibroids after moving to the region at just 4 years old. She's since lost both her parents and several family members to cancer over the years -- all of whom lived in the area, which is known for its unacceptably high cancer risks due to major plant emissions.

Wendy Williams gets emotional thinking about a recent threat from the judge in her guardianship ... crying at the thought of being moved to a more restrictive assisted-living facility than the one she describes as a luxury prison.

The former talk show host joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked her about the judge being pissed at her for grousing to the media about her guardianship and threatening to place even more restrictions on her.

Wendy talked to us for nearly 20 minutes from her room at Mount Sinai West Hospital in NYC, where she's about to be released and sent back to a residential center called Coterie ... a place she hates with a passion.

Attorney Mark Geragos says the new Los Angeles County District Attorney has no clue what he's talking about when it comes to the Menendez brothers ... telling us Nathan Hochman needs to brush up on the facts.

Mark, who is repping Erik and Lyle as they seek to get out from prison after three decades behind bars, joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and offered a scathing reaction to Hochman's latest press conference.

For Mark, the whole thing was ridiculous and irrelevant ... and not just because Hochman was talking about a resentencing hearing that no longer holds weight due to California Governor Gavin Newsom circumventing the process.

Natalie "Nadya" Suleman, best known as "Octomom," says Child Protective Services basically set up camp at her home in the early days after she brought home the octuplets ... showing up at least once a week, yet never knocked her parenting.

Natalie -- who's going by her birth name now, instead of Nadya -- came on "TMZ Live" to talk about what life is like for her and her 14 children now. Remember, she gave birth to the octuplets in 2009 after she was mother to 6 kids.

She opened up to us about all the public scrutiny she got after she first gave birth ... including visits from CPS "at least once a week."

Congressman Al Green -- the Democrat who was escorted out of the House of Representatives for interrupting President Donald Trump's address to Congress Tuesday -- says he's firing back at POTUS ... announcing plans to file articles of impeachment.

The Texas representative stopped by "TMZ Live" Thursday to talk about his dramatic exit from the chambers during Trump's speech ... and, he revealed he's planning to bring the articles to combat the president's "incivility."

Green didn't give a timeframe for when this filing could take place ... but, he says he feels Democrats need to engage in some "righteous incivility" of their own to combat the president's behavior.

Bhad Bhabie and her BF Le Vaughn might drop off the radar for a bit, on the heels of him getting shot at an L.A. strip club -- her dad says he's a little worried about someone trying to finish the job.

We talked to Ira Peskowitz Wednesday on "TMZ Live," and he says whatever went down last night at Sam's Hofbrau strip club in DTLA ... LV had concerns about individuals involved in the shooting possibly showing up at the home where he lives with BB, AKA Danielle Bregoli, and their kids.

As we reported, the suspects made a clean getaway after the early morning shooting incident, and Ira says he just wants to make sure innocent people -- such as his daughter Danielle, his granddaughter Kali, or LV's toddler son -- don't get hurt.

Rep. Wesley Hunt is defending President Donald Trump over his Oval Office spat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ... he says Trump's working the art of the deal to bring peace to the region.

The Congressman from Texas joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" and we asked him about Trump and J.D. Vance's heated exchange with Zelensky last week.

Hunt says Trump's right that Russia is winning the war in Ukraine and strongman Vladimir Putin holds all the cards ... and the United States can't keep giving Ukraine a blank check to fight the Russians.

The conditional release of Connecticut’s killer cannibal is sparking major backlash, but Tyree Smith has a big ally in his corner -- his lawyer.

Joseph Bruckmann stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday, and he tells us it’s actually comforting that a bunch of psychiatric experts at Connecticut's Psychiatric Security Review Board unanimously agreed that Tyree is no longer a threat.

Catch the video, because of course, Joseph addresses the big concern -- could Tyree strike again? After all, he did kill Angel Gonzalez back in 2011, then confessed to eating part of his brain and an eyeball.

Elon Musk's email ultimatum directing federal workers to justify their job positions is nothing but a scam the American public can see right through ... so says a top Democratic senator.

The U.S. Senator from Minnesota, Tina Smith, joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday -- branding Elon as nothing but a bully using his power to be a jerk, labeling his actions as downright harassment.

Catch the video ... 'cause we pointed out it seemed like the White House seems to revel in the outrage over Elon's latest power play -- and she made it clear that's definitely the case.

L.A. County D.A. Nathan Hochman says he will consider evidence of sexual abuse at the hands of Jose Menendez when Erik and Lyle Menendez make their case for resentencing.

Hochman appeared Monday on "TMZ Live," and acknowledged the laws of government resentencing allow a judge to consider "psychological, physical, or childhood trauma, including ... abuse, neglect, exploitation, or sexual violence."

Hochman was adamant ... sexual abuse in no way calls Erik and Lyle's conviction into question, but it will come into play next month when the brothers ask a judge to resentence them to something less than life without parole -- which opens the door to a parole board freeing them.

Liam Payne's pal Roger Nores is still wrapping his head around being cleared of manslaughter charges tied to the singer's tragic drug-fueled death -- and the main thing he wants now is an apology from Liam’s dad, Geoff.

Roger appeared on "TMZ Live" Thursday, explaining that even though Liam’s dad is the reason he faced charges, he’s holding no grudges -- BUT for that defamation lawsuit to go away, Geoff needs to show some real remorse.

Roger tries to understand Geoff's actions, acknowledging to us that there's no greater loss than losing a child ... and how that feeling of responsibility could drive someone to blame others, even when they don’t have all the facts.

Hurricane -- the Secret Service dog that took down an intruder outside the White House in 2014 -- may be gone ... but, the Service honored his heroism one more time before he passed.

Marshall Mirarchi -- Hurricane's handler and close pal -- stopped by "TMZ Live" to talk about the heroic Belgian Malinois ... and, he got teary-eyed early remembering the dog he had for most of his adult life.

Marshall then lays out Hurricane's last day ... saying he took him back to Washington, D.C. so he could see his old workspace -- the White House -- one more time.

D.L. Hughley isn’t holding back on Trevor Noah’s recent podcast question about whether integration was the right move for America -- calling it "maybe the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

He broke it down on "TMZ Live" Tuesday, saying Black people are still at a disadvantage even after integration -- pointing to issues like "white flight" and underfunded Black schools.

D.L. doubled down that integration was necessary because Black schools were severely underfunded -- but once schools did start integrating, white kids left, taking resources with them ... basically canceling it out.

Joe Tacopina is ready to flex his legal muscles in court again ... telling us he's feeling good about getting A$AP Rocky off the hook in a criminal assault trial.

The high-powered attorney joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked him about the Rocky case and some of his legal wins over the years for clients like President Trump and Alex Rodriguez.

Rocky's case is now in the jury's hands after Joe forcefully defended the rapper in court ... telling us it should be easy for a jury to reach a not-guilty verdict, even though it's not guaranteed.

Jeff Dye says Hollywood's too afraid to call out bad behavior on set, but he's not running scared ... instead, he's doubling down on bashing Sarah Hyland.

The comedian joined us on "TMZ Live" and he told us everyone in the industry is so used to walking on eggshells around big stars they can't believe it when someone calls out someone's BS.

Jeff says his Sarah criticism from a recent podcast is actually sparking a wave of affirming reactions ... telling us folks are crawling out of the woodwork with their own Hyland horror stories.
