Donald Trump Jr. is publicly one of his dad's biggest supporters ... but it seems he's singing a different tune behind closed doors.
According to a new report from The Atlantic, two people who have spoken directly with Trump Jr. about the war in Iran say he's vocally opposed the conflict on multiple occasions.
They tell the outlet he's been against the war from the start ... and even told dad Donald Trump as much.
Ken Paxton usually keeps reporters at arm's length ... but apparently the way to the Texas politician's heart is through a bag of beef jerky from a Texan institution.
Charliecaught up with the senatorial candidate Tuesday at a Buc-ee's along the campaign trail in the Lone Star State ... where the two shared some steakhouse beef jerky before sinking their teeth into politics.
And while the jerky was delicious, Paxton had plenty of beef with his Democratic opponent, James Talarico, and CNN.
Katie Zacharia's not sitting at home feeling sorry for herself, or studying for the bar exam ... she's sweating out her troubles ... wearing an athletic fit in her first appearance since her abrupt firing.
The former White House Press Secretary was spotted Tuesday in California ... walking in her neighborhood and wearing a blue sports bra, red leggings, tube socks and sneakers.
Katie pulled her long blonde locks into a side braid ... and kept her eyes on the ground while hitting the pavement.
President Donald Trump laid down the law with a reporter in the Oval Office ... letting his inner New Yorker out by telling the interviewer to watch it.
POTUS was taking questions from reporters when he pointed in the general direction of the scrum, and The Independent's Andrew Feinberg started asking a question ... and things quickly went off the rails.
Trump went nuclear on the guy -- cutting him off and chastising him in front of his colleagues and a room full of microphones and cameras.
The WNBA is drawing a line in the sand -- kind of ... because while the league insists that Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White can't play in the league because they're men, the WNBA still hasn't defined what a woman is.
Here's the deal ... WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbertwrote a letter to Republican lawmakers on October 16, saying the two former NBA players can't play in the WNBA because they're "both men."
However, Engelbert -- who is resigning from her position at the end of the year -- didn't define what a woman is ... instead simply saying Enes and Royce don't qualify.
Donald Trump's at it again with the name changes ... and this time, he's got his eyes on one of our states.
The Prez took to Truth Social Monday to insist New Mexico change its name to New America, arguing ... "We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America!"
Trump even seems to believe the new moniker would boost the state's economy, saying ... "The name would add great value and prestige to the State! Home Values and Incomes would rise, and you would be even prouder while saluting our beautiful American Flag!"
Shawn Oliver's campaign for Massachusetts lieutenant governor has come to a screeching halt ... after the Republican candidate was busted for allegedly driving drunk and flipping his SUV into several parked cars.

The wild crash went down around 11:40 PM Saturday in New Bedford, Massachusetts ... where police say Oliver's vehicle overturned after plowing into parked cars.
Five vehicles were involved in the wreck, according to police. Oliver was taken to a hospital for treatment before being arrested.
Gina Hinojosahas a message for Elon Musk ... he's lucky to be in Texas, so he'd better keep his hands off the beaches.
Our own Jacoband Charliecaught up with the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Texas ... where the conversation went from sharing Whataburger iced tea to the world's richest man.
Things got interesting when Gina accused Gov. Greg Abbottof trying to hand over Boca Chica State Park to Musk ... saying she's not about to let billionaires call the shots.
The President took to Truth Social Sunday morning giving an impassioned endorsement of Bibi to "the Great People of Israel" -- calling the PM "Strong, Brave, and Brilliant."
Speaking about the Iran War, DJT also said "If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so."
President Donald Trump is busting his butt on the campaign trail for John Husted ... while he apparently still can't get the Senate hopeful's own rear end out of his mind.
The prez appeared in Highland Heights, Kentucky, as part of the Republican Party's midterm push ... and -- though Husted is running in Ohio -- Trump brought up his magnificent rump.
Trump once again admits he was checking out Husted's ass ... telling fans he just couldn't take his eyes off of it.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has overcome a lot in his life -- suffering a catastrophic injury as a young adult -- so he was more than amused listening to our TMZ DC guy agonizing over whether to accept a beer because of his Gen Z stomach issues.
Jacob made it to the Governor's mansion in Austin Friday night, and Abbott was more than hospitable, offering our TMZ DC Managing Editor a brewski. Jacob, among many other things, is gluten-free, so he resisted.
BTW ... the same thing happened in Detroit a few days earlier with Michigan senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed ... same stomach excuses -- it's hilarious.
Back to Abbott -- now that there's an opening for White House Press Secretary, the Governor says he thinks he's got the perfect replacement. HINT: Abbott's looking at him.
In the end, Jacob chugs it down and leaves satisfied.
PS ... Jacob called Harvey 2 hours later to complain that his stomach felt volcanic.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming out swinging for Abdul El-Sayed ... calling claims linking the Michigan senatorial candidate to the Muslim Brotherhood flat-out racist.
Charlie got AOC on Friday at a Culver's in Michigan, where she's been campaigning for El-Sayed ... and he asked whether the Muslim Brotherhood controversy was rooted in reality or racism.
AOC didn't mince words ... saying the allegations fall "into racist very clearly" and blasting critics for dragging El-Sayed's painful family history into politics.
Katie Zacharia's White House career is apparently over before it even got started ... with President Trump's newest press secretary reportedly getting the boot after a week on the job.
According to The New York Times, Zacharia has been fired after 5 days on the job ... making her stint even shorter than Anthony Scaramucci's infamous 11-day run as White House communications director in 2017 ... even the Mooch lasted longer.
The reported firing comes just minutes after Trump suggested Zacharia might be better off without the job ... telling reporters she'd been treated "very, very badly" by the media and didn't need the headache.
Anthony Scaramucci will no longer be known as the shortest-lived White House Press Secretary ... that distinction now belongs to Katie Zacharia ... and the Mooch ain't mad.
Anthony couldn't resist chiming in Friday after Katie's blink-and-you-missed-it stint as President Trump's mouthpiece came to an end after just 5 days ... a firing that everyone saw coming.
Joe Scarborough started it all by joking, "Mooch, we hardly knew ye" ... a reference to Scaramucci's 11-day run as White House press secretary during Trump's first term.
Scaramucci fired back with a classic response ... "Records are made to be broken. But I take no pleasure in other people's pain."
10:35 AM PT -- A senior White House official tells Fox News that Katie is "transitioning out" of the role.
President Trump is telling Katie Zacharia she doesn't need the headache of being White House press secretary ... and he's letting her decide whether to stick around.
Trump says his newest spokesperson has been treated "very, very badly" by the media ... revealing he personally told her she doesn't have to put up with the abuse.
Katie Zacharia says she doesn't know when the next White House press briefing will be ... but she hopes she can inspire more confidence in those around her before it goes down.
The new White House Press Secretary appeared on "Fox & Friends" Friday morning to discuss her first week ... which many feel went about as bad as it could go.
Katie was asked when she'll next address the media ... and she said she doesn't know -- but she promised to work closely with President Donald Trump and the White House communications team to figure it out.
