White House

"Love on the Spectrum" star Dani Bowman is ripping President Trump for claiming Tylenol use among pregnant mothers is linked to autism ... and she's got a couple middle fingers she's extending his way.

We got the Netflix reality star at LAX and our photog asked her about Trump's recent autism announcement.

Dani says Trump isn't qualified to weigh in on the potential causes of autism ... and as far as she's concerned, autism is genetic.

1:53 PM PT -- President Trump just commented on the conviction of Routh and he thanked Attorney Pam Bondi and her staff for meting out swift justice in the case.

Ryan Routh has been found guilty on all charges in relation to his foiled attempt at assassinating President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course last year.

A Florida jury found him guilty Tuesday on five federal criminal counts -- including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and several firearms offenses.

And in a stunning turn of events, he tried stabbing himself in the neck with a pen directly after the verdict was read, Fox News reports.

Donald Trump is PO'd at liberals ... slamming them for seemingly paying for a statue of him holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein to go up right outside the White House!

Check out the new statues erected in the National Mall in Washington, D.C. -- they show Trump and Epstein giddily frolicking together and holding hands ... with a plaque announcing the new figures are in honor of Friendship Month, which falls in September, apparently.

The plaque additionally reads ... "We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend,' Jeffrey Epstein."

President Trump went to the United Nations General Assembly and all he got was a "bad escalator and a bad teleprompter."

Trump's Tuesday visit to the U.N. General Assembly in New York City went off with a couple hitches ... starting from the moment he walked through the door.

POTUS and FLOTUS were heading up the escalator when it stopped moving ... forcing Trump and Melania to get some exercise. Fortunately for them, Trump says they're both in good shape.

Kamala Harris is doubling down on her decision not to pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election due to concerns over his sexuality.

The former vice president appeared on "The Rachel Maddow Show" Tuesday, where Rachel -- a gay woman -- pressed her over her recent confession that she nixed the former United States secretary of transportation as her VP pick at least partly due to him being gay.

Kamala -- who bluntly wrote in her new book "107 Days" that Pete was her No. 1 choice for her running partner, but he was too much of a risk -- told Rachel she didn't pass over him because of his sexuality explicitly, but because that, combined with her being a black woman, was too big a gamble.

Barack Obama is coming out swinging in defense of the First Amendment in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's TV show suspension ... accusing the Trump administration of trying to silence its critics.

After it was revealed Wednesday night Kimmel's show was suddenly and "indefinitely" suspended by ABC following the host's remarks about the late Charlie Kirk and MAGA, the former President took to X to call out the current administration.

Check it out ... he essentially calls Donald Trump a hypocrite, highlighting how 47 has complained about "cancel culture" for years ... only to jump on the cancel bandwagon when JK said something unfavorable about one of his own.

President Trump has made it clear he wants Tyler Robinson executed for allegedly assassinating Charlie Kirk ... and if Trump gets his way, Kirk's alleged killer faces a torturous fate.

The case will play out in Utah, where capital punishment is still a thing ... and where folks on death row are executed one of two ways ... firing squad or lethal injection.

Ronnie Lee Gardner was the last death row inmate in Utah killed by firing squad ... in June 2010 at Utah State Prison for a 1985 murder ... and a journalist who was there to watch the execution go down is recalling what it was like.

Vice President J.D. Vance started railing against far left "lunatics" towards the end of his tribute to Charlie Kirk ... getting emotional as he hosted his late friend's super popular radio show days after Kirk was assassinated.

Vance took the reins of "The Charlie Kirk Show" broadcast and podcast Monday ... sitting down in front of the microphone from the White House and going on an epic rant about what his boss, President Trump, likes to call the "radical left."

The veep said something's gone really wrong with the far left and claimed it was a "statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left."

11:20 AM PT -- Just hours after Virginia's brother spoke out and called for Congress to release the files, the House of Representatives approved a resolution formally authorizing the Oversight Committee's ongoing investigation.

The House also authorized the release of "all unclassified committee records received from the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Epstein estate, and any other custodians related to the investigation described in this resolution, as well as any written declarations, or other evidence that relates to the investigation described in this resolution."

Virginia Giuffre's brother is drawing a clear line in the sand as members of Congress try to force a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files ... he says anyone who opposes the effort is on the side of rich and powerful abusers.

Sky Roberts made an emotional plea to lawmakers Wednesday during a press conference on Capitol Hill, where Epstein survivors called on Congress to make the files public.

Sky's sister Virginia is the most famous victim of Epstein's sex-trafficking ring ... and she died in April at 41 in what police in Australia said was suicide, though her family doubts she took her own life.

President Trump says the U.S. military conducted a missile strike against alleged Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists ... and the attack is on video!

The White House just released wild footage from the mission ... and you see a speed boat suddenly burst into flames.

Trump said the strike occurred while the alleged Venezuelan gang members were at sea in International waters.

A couple air traffic controllers came to blows on the job at Reagan National Airport ... and one of the guy's lawyers tells us the fight boiled down to President Trump's disdain for DEI hiring policies.

Damon Gaines is facing misdemeanor assault and battery charges for the March 2025 fight inside the air traffic control tower at DCA ... and he's going in front of a judge tomorrow to learn his fate.

Gaines' lawyer, Robert Jenkins, tells TMZ ... the coworker his client brawled with was commenting on Trump's anti-DEI crusade and Gaines took offense to some of the comments, leading to a dustup on the tower floor ... right in front of the control screens.

MAGA supporters eager to see Donald Trump added to Mount Rushmore are about to be disappointed ... because it's nearly impossible to make an addition without destroying the landmark, TMZ has learned.

We caught up with former National Park Service Superintendent Dan Wenk on "TMZ Live" Tuesday, where he explained why the two-time president is never going to make it up onto the storied rock in South Dakota.

As Dan put it ... the mountain has been examined in the past and investigations determined that trying to make changes to the mountain's structure would run the risk of destroying it.

President Donald Trump tried to get the United States its first World Cup title on Friday ... and his strategy was simple -- steal the damn thing in broad daylight!!

Trump welcomed FIFA president Gianni Infantino to the Oval Office hours ago to announce the draw for the 2026 men's World Cup that will take place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

Infantino brought the beloved trophy with him to 1600 Penn ... and handed it to POTUS, saying it's "only for winners."

Melania Trump walked straight into the global crossfire by putting pen to paper in a letter to Vladimir Putin -- and that's made her prime roast material, according to Jack Schlossberg, who just posted a parody video mocking the First Lady.

JFK’s grandson doubled down on his recent taunting of Melania on "TMZ Live" Monday, insisting it’s not about hating her or Trump -- he points out with a brutal war tearing through Europe, seeing Putin -- who's accused of horrific war crimes -- get a hero’s welcome on U.S. soil was way over the line, and the apparently heartfelt letter Melania wrote ain't moving the needle.

Catch our clip -- Jack goes all in, saying yeah, Melania’s wish that kids don’t suffer is fine ... but she, Trump, and the U.S. need to get serious. Enough with the pointless meetings and tacked-on letters -- he wants real foreign policy, not half-baked gestures.

Volodymyr Zelensky is back in D.C. at the White House ... and this time, he decided to wear a business-like suit instead of his usual military garb.

The president of Ukraine -- along with several other European leaders -- is meeting with Donald Trump Monday in the hopes of ending the war between Russia and Ukraine -- following a disastrous February meeting when VZ was criticized for not appearing sufficiently formal. Zelensky appeared in all black in a tightly cut suit Monday, shirt buttoned up to the top, though he still opted to skip a necktie.

As you know, Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin three days ago in Alaska ... but the two failed to reach a ceasefire agreement. Zelensky was notably not invited to that sit-down.

Public service announcement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Oz ... walking outside in the sun for 15 minutes a day boosts our health and overall wellbeing -- and they say it could save the country billions of dollars!!!

RFK Jr., the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, just posted a cringey video on his official X account of him and Dr. Oz, the Medicaid/Medicare chief, hiking in Colorado and climbing up some rocks, talking about the benefits of sunlight.

They say all it takes to transform our health, mood and connection to our fellow Americans is 15 minutes of walking under the sun ... looking into the camera and saying, "Sunlight is medicine," as corny music plays in the background.
