10:45 AM PT -- Hours after the Time cover -- and Trump's complaint -- dropped, California Governor Gavin Newsom's Press Office issued an official statement on X, tongue firmly in cheek … check it out below.

The NSFW edit continues the governor's ongoing mockery of the president and his peculiar social media style of posting.

Donald Trump ain't happy with TIME magazine ... 'cause he says the cover photo they used of him to celebrate his Gaza peace deal is the worst one ever!

Check out his late-night Truth Social rant ... he gives the image of him splashed across the mag's cover a proper noun name, dubbing it "the Worst of All Time."

As you can see, it's a low-angle shot of 47 ... and makes him appear stern and heroic. However, there's no question it highlights his thin hairline and sagging skin.

Mitt Romney has spoken out after his sister-in-law Carrie Elizabeth Romney was found dead Friday ... describing her death as a heartbreaking loss for his family.

Romney told the Daily Mail ... "Our family is heartbroken by the loss of Carrie, who brought warmth and love to all our lives. We ask for privacy during this difficult time."

The sudden death happened Friday night ... that's when she was found dead on the street next to a parking garage in Valencia, California -- a suburb just north of L.A. -- according to the L.A. County Coroner's Office.

Gavin Newsom is becoming the ultimate troll ... the California governor mocked Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu as the stars of the comedy film "Dumb and Dumber."

Newsom's press office posted a photo on X of President Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister -- clutching hands during their historic announcement to Israel's Knesset on Monday, championing a long-awaited peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

The rival factions have agreed to end a two-year war that has left the Gaza Strip in shambles, with scores dead. As part of the deal, Hamas released the 20 remaining Israeli hostages and Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Eliya Cohen -- formerly a hostage in Gaza -- tells TMZ President Donald Trump has gained massive popularity in Israel thanks to the new peace deal ... but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? Not so much.

Cohen joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday, saying ... "Here in Israel Trump is a hero. Just because of him, I am released, and I'm alive."

Cohen, who was set free in February, was reportedly held captive for 505 days after Hamas militants abducted him from the Nova music festival October 7, 2023.

The United States has a complicated, evolving history with its borders ... and Tom Homan's been in charge of them since 2024.

The "border czar" -- an informal term designating executive oversight of managing the country's land, air and sea borders, and deportations -- has an extensive history with law enforcement ... including as the subject of a probe into an allegation he accepted a cash bribe.

We're going to take a look into Homan's professional background and see how he ended up at the center of a formal investigation.

Homan began his career in law enforcement, serving as a police officer in upstate New York before starting as a Border Patrol agent in the 1980s, according to MSNBC.

President Barack Obama tapped Homan to lead ICE's deportation branch in 2013 following several promotions.

Homan was appointed by President Donald Trump to head ICE in 2017, and he became known for his tough approach to immigrants looking to cross the border.

Although he sought to become ICE's permanent director, his nomination ended up stalling in the Senate, as many Democrats were opposed to his confirmation ... he announced plans to retire in 2018.

Homan ended up staying busy within the law enforcement world, founding a consulting firm -- Homeland Strategic Consulting -- which reportedly worked with the departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security.

He also stayed pretty close to Trump and his political allies during President Joe Biden's administration, and he worked as contributor at Fox News.

Plenty of folks expected him to serve in Trump's second administration, and he signed on to act as 47's border czar in November 2024, according to the Associated Press. Homan's new role didn't require Senate confirmation.

Homan found himself in hot water in September 2025 after reports surfaced that he allegedly accepted a bag with $50,000 cash inside from undercover FBI agents in 2024.

Homan allegedly assured the agents he would be able to assist in securing government contracts during the second Trump administration.

Although an investigation was opened into Homan's alleged activities, it was ultimately closed in early 2025 by the Trump Dept. of Justice, and he wasn't charged with any crimes.

It looks like Donald Trump might be rooting for the Dallas Mavericks a little harder in the future ... because he gave a shout-out to one of the team's owners -- and Trump mega-donor -- Miriam Adelson, during his speech to the Knesset in Israel on Monday.

The President credited Adelson, who was present while he addressed the Israeli parliament, with helping him make key decisions regarding U.S. policy about the country, according to Reuters.

Trump said Miriam and her late husband Sheldon were in close contact with him and advised him on matters regarding Israel in both of his terms in office. A senior U.S. official claimed she pressed Trump to focus on having hostages taken by Hamas in October 2023 returned from Gaza to Israel.

Miriam Adelson is an Israeli-born physician whose late husband built much of their multibillion-dollar fortune as the head of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.

The couple became major donors for the campaigns of various conservative politicians -- including the current POTUS.

Sheldon died in 2021, and Miriam subsequently purchased majority ownership of the Mavs from Mark Cuban -- for a cool $3.5 billion -- in 2023.

George Stephanopoulos has made a career out of having extensive conversations with high-profile individuals ... but JD Vance apparently didn't make the cut on Sunday.

Stephanopoulos and the Vice President butted heads on an episode of "This Week" Sunday after Stephanopoulos asked Vance about an FBI investigation of border czar Tom Homan allegedly taking a cash bribe in 2024.

Homan allegedly pocketed $50,000 of cold, hard cash from undercover FBI agents and reportedly stated he could help them land government contracts in the second Trump administration. The investigation was closed once Trump took office, and he was never charged with any crimes.

Vance claimed Stephanopoulos was "losing credibility" -- and viewers -- by bringing up the allegations about the border czar.

The Vice President then accused the former White House Communications Director of going down what he described as a "weird left-wing rabbit hole."

Stephanopoulos responded by stating Vance hadn't answered his question before thanking him for his time and going to commercial.

Donald Trump is being hailed as a hero and peacemaker in Israel ... after 20 living hostages were returned home from Gaza.

The prez spoke to the Israeli parliament on the heels of his peace plan to end the war in Gaza -- where he was met with a huge standing ovation.

Trump is speaking defiantly, declaring, "This is not only the end of a war. This is the end of the age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God."

Former President Joe Biden is now entering a new phase of treatment for the aggressive form of prostate cancer he's battling.

A spokesperson for Biden told NBC News, “As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment."

The radiation treatment is expected to continue for 5 weeks, according to NBC, and the soon-to-be 83-year-old has already been taking a pill form of hormone medication.

The hits just keep on coming for Katie Porter ... the embattled candidate for California governor allegedly lost her s**t at her ex-husband years ago ... who says she called him dumb and poured hot mashed potatoes on him, burning his scalp ... this according to court records.

According to legal documents, Porter tied the knot with Matthew Hoffman in 2003 ... but eventually their relationship apparently soured, leading to Porter filing for divorce in 2013. Both filed domestic violence restraining orders against each other.

In his papers, Hoffman claimed Porter “routinely” called him a “f---ing idiot” and “f---ing incompetent” -- and said she also smashed a glass coffee pot on their kitchen counter because she felt their house wasn’t clean enough.

Angelina Jolie loves to travel the globe ... but recent gossip she's readying to bounce from the U.S. to live abroad is bogus, TMZ has learned.

A source close to the actress tells TMZ ... despite headlines claiming her bags were packed, AJ has no interest in living overseas full-time. We're told if she left Los Angeles, where she's based ... it would be to move to New York City, where most of her businesses are located.

Don't get it twisted ... the Oscar-winner loves traveling for extended periods, often spending time abroad with her kids ... but our source says she'll always have a home base in the States with her family.

Maria Corina Machado has worked her way through Venezuela's political landscape ...  and her efforts are being recognized by the international community in a big way -- because she's just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

We're taking a look at what she's done to reach this point ... and check out how one particular international politician is not thrilled about her receiving the distinction.

Machado, 58, is from Venezuela ... her father was an industrialist in the country, according to The Wall Street Journal. Machado studied engineering during her university days, and she eventually earned a master's degree in finance.

Her philanthropic activities kicked off in 1992, when she founded Fundación Atenea, which provides aid to street children in Caracas.

Machado entered politics 10 years later when she founded Sumate, a vote-monitoring organization, and she subsequently left Atenea in order to focus on her political ambitions, according to The Independent.

Machado was elected to Venezuela's National Assembly in 2010, reportedly pulling in a record number of supporters.

She cofounded a liberal-leaning political party, Vente Venezuela, in 2012, and she helped set up the Soy Venezuela alliance, which brings together right and left-wing politicians to work on shared issues.

Machado achieved notoriety as a vocal opponent of Venezuela's longtime president Nicolas Maduro, and she ended up expelled from the country's National Assembly in 2014.

Machado announced her candidacy for president in Venezuela's 2024 presidential election, but she was ultimately banned from holding public office. Maduro reportedly won the election with 51% of the vote -- although inconsistencies in the polls were widely publicized -- and Machado went into hiding after the election, according to NPR.

After months underground, Machado made her first public appearance at an opposition protest in Caracas in January 2025, according to The Independent. Her political group, Comando Con Venezuela, said she'd been "violently intercepted" as she was leaving the rally, after which she was detained.

Machado's team later claimed she'd been forced to record several videos during her detainment, which was reportedly denounced by various governments.

Venezuelan government officials alleged she'd faked the arrest and detainment to drum up support for the opposition.

Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 10, 2025, "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy," according to the Nobel Prize Foundation website.

A video showing the moment she was notified she'd won the prize was released on Friday, and she said she didn't deserve the distinction before expressing the prize was "the achievement of a whole society."

3:30 PM PT -- President Trump spoke out on not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ... telling the media, "I'm happy because i saved millions of lives."

6:50 AM PT -- The Chairman of the Nobel Committee, Jørgen Watne Frydnes, has been asked whether Trump deserves the peace prize ... Frydnes said, "This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates, and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. We base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel."

President Donald Trump fell short of winning the Nobel Peace Prize despite helping broker the recent Israeli-Hamas ceasefire deal and lobbying for the prestigious award with his Republican base.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee passed over Trump and handed the prize to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Trump's rep, Steven Cheung, blasted the decision, writing on X that “the Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace” by not recognizing Trump.

It looks like Melania Trump's trying to cool things down between Russia and Ukraine ... because she apparently helped eight children reunite with their families.

The First Lady said she wrote a letter about establishing peace between the warring countries and had  President Donald Trump hand-deliver the letter to Vladimir Putin when they met in Alaska in August, reports the Associated Press.

Melania claimed the Russian president responded to her letter in writing, and they began communicating about the well-being of children displaced during the country's ongoing war with Ukraine.

Ukrainian children have been taken by Russian forces, who've attempted to raise the children as Russians. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has raised the alarm multiple times.

Three of the kids were taken from their families and brought to Russia during the fighting. The other five were reportedly separated across borders.

Melania also said plans to get more kids back with their families were currently underway.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology won't be getting extra cash from President Donald Trump anytime soon ... because its president just turned down the Trump administration's education agenda.

MIT President Sally Kornbluth sent a letter to the Department of Education on Friday to let them know the school was okay without preferential consideration for federal funds, as they'd have to agree to several terms set down by 47's administration, according to NBC News.

The institution would have had to agree to various conditions, like freezing tuition rates for American students for the next five years and skipping out on prospective students who held "hostility" toward the United States.

Kornbluth argued MIT had already caught up with most of the standards set out by the Trump administration -- and added the school is a big proponent of freedom of expression.

She noted the institution believes funding for scientific activities "should be based on scientific merit alone."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says there's another link between autism rates and Tylenol use ... and he says it involves pain treatment for circumcisions.

President Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary made the claim Thursday during a cabinet meeting ... saying there are multiple studies that show children who are circumcised early in life have double the rate of autism.

RFK Jr. says it's "highly likely" the use of Tylenol in these infants is the reason for elevated autism rates. He did not cite a specific study or research.
