The idea that Congress will pass a budget on time and that the federal government will continue to operate undisturbed through the end of the year is “basically gone,” according to Ryan Cooper, the managing editor of The American Prospect, who joined The New Abnormal to talk about why America’s legislature has gotten so bad at governance.

The source of the current crisis lies in the far-right fringe of the Republican Party, which is demanding huge concessions after reneging on its initial government funding deal.

Talk about being too close for comfort. The 2024 presidential race is all tied up, according to the latest NBC News poll. This survey (unlike some polls), is no outlier. The race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has been effectively tied for months. Looks like we’re in for another nail-biter.

On one hand, this stalemate makes perfect sense. As Cook Political Report’s Amy Walter reminds us, Trump won the 2016 Electoral College by about 79,000 votes in three states, Biden won in 2020 by less than 45,000 in three states, and Republicans won the House by a very narrow margin in 2022. “This is going to be a close race,” Walter concludes.

But after everything that has happened since 2016 (Jan. 6, two impeachments, four indictments, and—more recently—Trump saying that Gen. Mark Milley deserves execution and that NBC News should be investigated for treason), you might have expected a seismic political shift in favor of Democrats. Instead, despite all the craziness, the result has been a race that is effectively a draw.

For three beautifully honest seasons, we’ve watched Reservation Dogs deftly depict modern Native American life in a way never before seen in TV or film. The nuanced storytelling—courtesy of an all-Indigenous team of writers, directors, and regular actors—captivated audiences from the time it premiered in 2021 and earned creators Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi many accolades, including a Peabody Award and a Golden Globe nod. But for Native Americans like me, the real triumph is far greater: The show ushered in a welcome era of authentic Indigenous representation in media.

As an Alaska Native (Tlingit) growing up in northern Minnesota in the ’90s, I rarely saw anyone who looked like me. So I turned to pop culture—think VHS tapes, satellite TV, and nascent dial-up Internet—to connect with the rest of the world. The only problem? Native portrayals in entertainment were virtually nonexistent, and the few that did pop up fed into tired tropes. Case in point: There was Disney’s Pocahontas, The Indian in the Cupboard (the VHS tape, no joke, came with an Indian figurine), and a problematic scene in Maverick where Mel Gibson dresses in red face and is hunted by a Russian archduke eager to kill an Indian.

Instead, I settled for a steady diet of TGIF sitcoms that featured mainly white and occasionally Black experiences. The only so-called diversity was situational and slightly outrageous, like a widowed Danny Tanner on Full House, separated-at-birth twins on Sister, Sister, and Perfect Strangers’ Balki Bartokomous from the mythical Mediterranean island of Mypos. Even as my TV tastes matured in adulthood, I still didn’t see myself reflected back onscreen. The underlying message was this: Your people don’t matter enough to be shown.

Donald Trump lost his damn mind this weekend. Or to be more accurate, he revealed more clearly than usual the madman wannabe dictator that lurks within him. But for all that, he did one thing that seemed impossible. He created the opportunity for this Wednesday’s Republican debate to seem relevant.

Admittedly, a debate among a pack of spineless nonentities (who have no more chance of being president than you or I) probably deserves scrutiny from the Food and Drug Administration as a form of broadcast Klonopin. If you even bother to tune in, it is likely to put you to sleep in minutes.

But what if Fox News moderators Dana Perino, and Ilia Calderon actually took their jobs seriously? (I’m not including co-moderator Stuart Varney—a shameless hack beyond all redemption—in this question.)

A woman finds a snake’s shed skin at the outset of Reptile, and not long afterwards, she’s dead, the victim of a murder born from a serpentine conspiracy. It’s a tantalizing beginning to Grant Singer’s directorial debut (on Netflix Sept. 29, following its Toronto International Film Festival premiere), which for long stretches successfully maintains its atmosphere of coiled malevolence. Such tension ultimately unravels during a latter half that rushes through too many underwhelming revelations, but that’s not enough to completely offset the film’s beguiling air of despondency, much of it embodied by an excellent Benicio Del Toro as a homicide detective mired in a nest of vipers.

In an unnamed section of chilly autumnal New England, Summer (Matilda Lutz) is discovered murdered in a for-sale house by her realtor partner and boyfriend Will (Justin Timberlake), having suffered 30-plus stab wounds that were so vicious, the knife became permanently stuck in her hip. Will works with his mother Camille (Frances Fisher) and is, by all appearances, a wealthy momma’s boy, and despite looking superficially suspicious, his airtight alibi and a lack of physical evidence tying him to the crime forces detective Tom (Del Toro) to turn his attention elsewhere. A veteran with a steely, cagey glint in his eyes, Tom is a veteran who has the respect of his peers and his partner Dan (Ato Essandoh), even though he has a shady Philly past involving a former partner who was busted for all manner of criminal conduct—misdeeds in which many assumed Tom participated.

Tom and Dan’s sleuthing leads them to Summer’s ex-husband Sam (Karl Glusman), a disreputable sort who lives in a ramshackle house and refuses to talk to law enforcement unless he’s charged or has a lawyer by his side. Sam resembles a prototypical murder suspect so it’s easy to identify him as a red herring, and that goes double for Tom’s hand injury, which two separate individuals remark upon, just to cast doubt about his underlying nature. Reptile’s initial machinations aren’t particularly clever and yet Singer is adept at setting a mood, dousing everything in rich shadows and employing a variety of silky snake-like pans and zooms through corridors, around corners, and—via a few Denis Villeneuve-esque aerial shots of racing cop cars—over solitary rural roads.

Kerry Washington is both the most obvious and the unlikeliest candidate for a celebrity memoir. Despite being known as a vocal and insightful public figure, particularly when it comes to politics and issues affecting women and people of color in Hollywood, the Emmy-nominated actress has been fiercely protective of her personal life throughout her two-decade stage and screen career.

That tension between Washington’s outspokenness and guardedness runs through her beautifully written memoir, Thicker Than Water, out today.

In all fairness, it’s naive to expect one of Hollywood’s most in-demand Black actresses and producers to spill her guts in a salacious tell-all. Instead, Washington, 46, meditates on the most pivotal moments of her professional career (her television role on ABC’s Scandal being the most notable accomplishment) with intimate flashpoints weaved throughout. Despite remaining somewhat tight-lipped about her marriage to former football player-turned-actor Nnamdi Asomugha, her biggest revelation, which bookends the aptly titled memoir, is all about family ties.

Derrick Anderson, on paper at least, looks like an ideal GOP recruit to run for Congress in Virginia.

He’s a former Green Beret who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has a law degree from Georgetown. And he has two prestigious federal court clerkships under his belt. And sure enough, Anderson recently announced his congressional bid in Virginia’s 7th District, a swingy and consistently expensive House district to run in—the most expensive, in fact, for 2022—that is currently represented by Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger.

There’s just one problem for the newly declared 39-year-old Republican: It’s unclear he actually lives in the district.

Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, whose testimony before the House Jan. 6 Committee last year depicted the inner workings of a presidential administration in chaos, delivered an urgent message Monday to Republicans in Congress who continue to publicly support Donald Trump: “now is the time” to “take a stand” against him.

In her first live television interview, Hutchinson was asked by MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow about Trump’s sustained lead in GOP primary polls only four months out from the Iowa caucuses.

“Why do you think your fellow Republicans want him more than they want anybody else as their next candidate for the White House?” Maddow asked.

To loosely borrow a phrase from Nicole Kidman, we come to reality TV to watch human beings suffer.

Yes, it’s nice to see your favorite Real Housewife or Love Is Blind contestant enjoy some wins from time to time. But we mostly watch these shows to see amusing people deal with tough situations in the funniest and often worst ways possible, usually as a way to reflect on and metabolize our own struggles.

That seems to explain the success of Fox’s latest competition hit Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, where reality stars, actors, athletes and people like Blac Chyna train under a group of intimidating (but unintentionally comical) former operatives and grueling weather conditions, while learning some valuable life lessons along the way. If you’re someone like Tom Sandoval, you’re seemingly on the show to rehabilitate your image—and maybe spite your ex who’s earned a more coveted, less stressful slot on Dancing With The Stars at the same time.

I’ve been journaling for the past five years, so it’s safe to say that I’ve gone through my fair share of notebooks. In my opinion, there’s nothing more satisfying than using pen and paper to get out the day’s thoughts, jot down quick notes, or write reminders. Not only have I found it beneficial for my mental health, but it’s also been helpful for my creative blocks when they occur.

With that said, it can be a bit difficult to keep track of my journals as I go through them quickly, so I recently did some research to find a solution. I finally came across Moleskine’s Smart Writing Set and I knew I had to try it. Spoiler alert: this smart writing set has been a game changer for me and I don’t ever see myself going back to a regular notebook again.

The Taliban has reportedly obtained a years-old security plan created by the U.S. that could help launch a sweeping new surveillance system in Afghanistan, raising concerns among experts that the system could be used for nefarious purposes.

The plan, which is based on a map the United States apparently created before withdrawing from Afghanistan in 2021, was originally intended for the previous government. Now, the Taliban regime is considering to use it as a basis for a project meant to root out terrorist threats, Ministry of Interior spokesman Abdul Mateen Qani told Reuters.

“At the present we are working on a Kabul security map, which is [being completed] by security experts and [is taking] lots of time,” he said. “We already have two maps, one which was made by U.S.A for the previous government and second by Turkey.”

David McCallum, the Scottish character actor who found television fame in the 1960s on The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and again decades later on NCIS, died Monday in New York City. He was 90.

McCallum’s death from natural causes was confirmed by his family and CBS, the longtime home of NCIS In a family statement provided through the network, his son Peter said, “He was the kindest, coolest, most patient and loving father. He always put family before self.” Peter said that McCallum especially loved his grandchildren, and could often be found at family gatherings engrossed in a philosophical chat with his 9-year-old grandson, Whit.

“He was a true renaissance man—he was fascinated by science and culture and would turn those passions into knowledge,” Peter said, adding that McCallum could (“if needed”) perform an autopsy, because his NCIS character, Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard, knew how to do so.

While Fox News remains one of the few cable networks to air live remarks by Donald Trump, it showed Monday that it will still quickly pull the plug if the former president depicts the right-wing network in a bad light.

The network broadcasted Trump’s speech uninterrupted from when he began speaking at 2:52 p.m. EST until thirteen minutes into the next programming block, when he mentioned his absence from last month’s GOP primary debate, which Fox News hosted. “I was someplace else,” he told the crowd, referring to his friendly interview with Tucker Carlson, during which he explained that he bailed on getting on stage with other candidates to avoid being “harassed.”

Trump then dubiously claimed that “we had 271 million people listening to” his conversation with Carlson, who, as The Daily Beast reported earlier this year, has privately feuded with the network that fired him in April. (The 46-minute long video on X, formerly known as Twitter, currently only lists 266 million views, and merely scrolling past the post qualifies as a view, according to X, which adds that “multiple views may be counted if you view a post more than once.”)

The partnership allows The Frame TV owners to shop from 38 world-class pieces of artwork from The Met Museum, including classic masterpieces from renowned artists like Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Katsushika Hokusai, Katsushika Hokusai, and Georges Seurat.

The Frame, Samsung’s 4K Smart TV, is engineered with a matte, reflection-free monitor and picture-frame-style bezel, making it a great canvas-like display for digital art or your own photos when the TV isn’t on. (Seriously, when I first saw The Frame displaying art in a coffee shop last year, I was in utter disbelief that it wasn’t an actual painting on canvas until the barista turned on the news to convince me.) The Frame owners can browse hundreds of digital artworks at Samsung’s Art Store, including the newly-launched Met Museum collection.

Ahead of this week’s second Republican debate, it now appears that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has moved ahead of pharmaceutical bro Vivek Ramaswamy in Fox News’ Trump-alternative GOP primary.

Prior to last month’s debate, which GOP frontrunner Donald Trump skipped to do a Twitter video with Tucker Carlson, Ramaswamy had seemingly become the conservative cable giant’s preferred Republican hopeful to go head-to-head with President Joe Biden. However, following the debate, which featured Haley blasting Ramaswamy over his lack of experience, Fox quickly touted the ex-guv as the winner and said “she ran away with the show.”

While she’s since enjoyed extremely friendly sit-downs on Fox & Friends and the primetime shows, Ramaswamy has found himself grilled at times during his Fox News hits. For instance, during a Fox News Sunday interview this month, anchor Shannon Bream noted that Ramaswamy is seen by voters as “annoying” while straight up asking him “what’s the point of your campaign?”

Not content to stop at banning books, curriculum about sexual orientation and gender identity, and the teaching of critical race theory, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis now wants to ban access to schools that he claims have “direct ties” to the Chinese Communist Party.

DeSantis announced on Friday that he was suspending school voucher programs awarded to help children and their families pay for tuition at four schools, claiming that the Lower Sagemont Preparatory School, Upper Sagemont Preparatory School, Parke House Academy and Park Maitland Schools all pose “an imminent threat to the health, safety and welfare of these schools’ students and the public” due the schools’ alleged connections to China.

This hyperbole about the threat to “health, safety and welfare” posed by schools teaching children from pre-school to grade 12 sounds straight out of Stanley Kubrick’s satirical film “Dr. Strangelove” where deranged Air Force General Ripper rants “I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”

Questions continue to swirl about the credibility of the sourcing for Michael Wolff’s latest book, Confider has learned. The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Empire will be released tomorrow but was never fact-checked with Fox News or Fox Corp—and despite Wolff’s claim that he reached out to all principals in the book, neither Sean Hannity nor Laura Ingraham were contacted for comment—according to two people familiar with the matter.

The book contains no footnotes or citations, raising concerns about the validity of several of its key claims. Chief among them is the assertion that Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox as part of the Dominion settlement—a claim strenuously denied by both Dominion and Fox.

Another controversial passage in the book has also been called into question, with both Carlson and Ron DeSantis denying a claim that DeSantis shoved and possibly kicked the TV host’s dog. (Wolff, showing how easily he will throw his sources under the bus, outed Carlson on Monday as the alleged source of the incident.)

South Dakota’s richest man, banking billionaire T. Denny Sanford, has been ousted as a member of the Giving Pledge in the wake of a child pornography investigation.

Signatories of the Giving Pledge—a brainchild of billionaires Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates, and Warren Buffett—commit to giving away at least half of their wealth, either before or after they die. Sanford, worth an estimated $2.1 billion, was one of the first to sign up.

Once heralded for his prolific philanthropy, Sanford’s reputation has taken a massive hit since the inquiry was first reported in 2020.

Brian Kilmeade on Sunday inadvertently took a sledgehammer to a load-bearing pillar holding up a long-debunked conspiracy that Republicans are currently trying to use to impeach President Joe Biden, interviewing a guest who discredited the figure at the heart of that story in a matter of seconds.

The guest was former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who appeared on One Nation with host Kilmeade over the weekend.

After asking him briefly about the state of the war with Russia, Kilmeade steered Poroshenko towards his relationship with Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor general fired after 14 months in office plagued by allegations he was ineffective at tackling corruption.

The bombshell corruption case facing Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) “looks ugly,” “looks bad,” and “is hard to explain,” The View co-host Ana Navarro said on Monday’s show, while revealing that she has known the embattled politician personally for some three decades.

“I’m having a very hard time reconciling the evidence I saw shown on TV with the Bob Menendez I have known for almost 30 years,” she said during Monday’s taping of the daytime talk show. “This is personally hard for me, when I saw all the evidence I’m shaken. I’m hoping against hope that there is some sort of logical explanation.”

However, according to the political commentator and Republican strategist: “[T]here is a bigger problem here than Bob Menendez.”

In a PR stunt gone terribly wrong, former President Donald Trump went gun shopping on Monday with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and asked to buy a Glock pistol on camera—which would have brazenly violated the very same law that recently landed Hunter Biden criminal charges.

Federal law prohibits anyone under indictment from attempting to buy a firearm. Trump has been criminally indicted four times in as many jurisdictions—Atlanta, Miami, New York, and Washington—facing dozens of felony charges that could land him in prison for decades.

“I wanna buy one,” Trump said while taking a tour of Palmetto State Armory, a federally licensed gun dealer in South Carolina that's widely revered by firearm enthusiasts.

A pair of mortuary workers dropped a body down a flight of stairs as the bereaved family listened in horror, then tried to deny it ever happened, only to have their story unravel when—at the man’s wake—the obvious “denting and bruising on [the deceased’s] head” caused by the plunge simply became too much to ignore.

That’s according to a lawsuit obtained by The Daily Beast, in which the family of late postal worker Juan “Chuco” Mejia demands a minimum of $1 million for mental anguish touched off by the harrowing episode. Mejia’s widow and three children filed the suit in Harris County, Texas on June 14, 2023, two years to the day after the 69-year-old Dallas Cowboys devotee lost his bout with cancer.

When Mejia died, he was at his daughter’s Houston condo, surrounded by loved ones.

Comedian Kathy Griffin took to Instagram on Sunday to add to the chorus of voices calling out Russell Brand, who’s recently been accused by multiple women of rape and sexual misconduct.

“I’m actually excited about the news getting out about Russell Brand,” Griffin said in her lengthy video. “I mean, it has taken forever to catch up with that sleazebag.”

Griffin clarified that Brand has never harmed her, adding that predators don’t usually try anything with her because they think of her as a “dude.” She did, however, tell a story about a friend of hers who once met Brand at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Since The Bachelor (and The Bachelorette, of course) made its way to the silver screen in 2002, the reality TV show franchise has become America’s favorite guilty pleasure to binge-watch on Monday nights. In fact, the series’ viral following has prompted several spin-offs, including the Bachelor in Paradise and Bachelor Pad, to satisfy fans who can’t seem to get enough.

This week, the dating franchise is premiering its latest spin-off: the first-ever The Golden Bachelor, featuring 72-year-old Gerry Turner. Turner, a retired restaurateur and pickleball enthusiast from Indiana, lost his wife in 2017 to a bacterial infection. The Golden Bachelor will follow the same structure as The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, but will feature twenty-two senior women (each of whom is at least 60 years old) who will battle to win over Turner’s heart for a chance at love. The first episode airs this Thursday, Sept. 28, on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
