Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) has gotten engaged to his girlfriend.
Scott, 58, proposed to his fiance, Mindy Noce, on South Carolina’s Kiawah Island. The two are set to be married this Saturday.
Noce is an interior decorator whom Scott began dating just last year. Scott is known as one of the only bachelors in the Senate. He had never had a girlfriend previously.
“Going to the beach and getting on one knee, and asking Mindy to marry me was so much more important than anything else, and I wanted to make sure that that sacred day would not be disturbed by anything political,” Scott told Trey Gowdy, host of Sunday Night in America on Fox News.
Scott was a presidential candidate in the 2024 race. He ended his campaign in November and endorsed Donald Trump for president. His own campaign staff was surprised to learn the news from the media.

A small contingent of journalists gathered near the Canadian border earlier this morning to watch as Dixville Notch, Nh, continued its tradition of casting the first ballots on an election day.
Nikki Haley cleaned Donald Trump’s clock in this hamlet — 6 votes to none.
As the day goes on, network correspondents are fanning out across the state at precincts to talk to actual voters, after months in which the first-in-the-nation primary was judged and assessed by polls. Commentary and analysis is focusing on whether
Haley and her top surrogate, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, blitzed the airwaves on Monday, while Trump held a final rally in Laconia, Nh, where he predicted that Haley would be out of the race after tonight. He was interrupted by climate protesters, who have been a frequent presence at events in recent days.

Sen. Tim Scott announced on Sunday that he’s suspending his presidential campaign. The South Carolina senator entered the race in May flush with cash, but failed to gain traction while vying for the nomination in a crowded Republican presidential primary race.
He announced the news during an interview with Fox News. “I think the voters, who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that they’re telling me, ‘Not now, Tim,’” Scott said on Sunday night during Trey Gowdy’s show, as The New York Times reports.

The Republican field is shrinking, as Sen. Tim Scott (R-sc) said Sunday evening that he is suspending his presidential campaign.
Scott said on Fox News’ Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy that voters “who are the most remarkable people on the planet…they’re telling me, not now, Tim.”
Gowdy seemed surprised by Scott’s announcement, and said, “You have plenty of money. You have the highest approval numbers of any candidate that is running, and you are couple of states away from coming to a state where you are beloved, and you are suspending your presidential campaign?”
“I think the message is clear for me right now,” Scott said.
Scott was among five candidates who qualified for the Republican debate last week, but he has failed to have a breakout moment at any of the three events so far this cycle. Frontrunner Donald Trump has been skipping the debates,...

Fox News is shaking up its primetime lineup … on the weekends, at least.
The cable news channel says that it will launch a new lineup beginning this weekend, with some shows switching timeslots, and one program, The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton, ending its run on the channel.
Hilton has hosted The Next Revolution Sundays at 9 p.m. since 2017. Fox News says that he will remain with the channel as a contributor, and is stepping back “to focus on his new California non-partisan policy organization launching next week.”
Former Congressman Trey Gowdy, who has hosted Fox’s 7 p.m. hour on Sundays with Sunday Night in America, will take Hilton’s 9 p.m. timeslot.

British-born Andrea Riseborough deserves credit for her ability to seemingly morph into any character like a chameleon. With veteran TV director Michael Morris’ feature debut To Leslie the actress brings a tremendous level of sympathy to her West Texan title character. The story is quite straightforward, hinging upon Riseborough’s ability to carry a script with both hope and cruelty.
Once upon a time, Leslie was a young mother who won 190,000 playing the video lottery at her local bar. Years later, she’s strung out and smoking cigarettes down to the filters. When kicked out of the hotel she’s staying at, she moves in with her son James (Owen Teauge) with the promise to get clean. When a neighbor “parties” with her, he has no choice but to kick her out. Her next stop is a group of aging hippy relatives, Duch (Stephen Root) and Nancy (Allison Janney), who...

Media Matters for America, a watchdog group that focuses on right-wing media, released findings Friday that said 60% of Fox News’ summer programming undermined Covid-19 vaccines. In total, Fox News talent and guests made 840 claims undermining or downplaying the immunization effort, the report said.
The organization has been analyzing Fox News’ vaccine coverage for months. A previous report showed that 57% of segments from June 28 to July 11 downplayed or undermined the vaccine, so anti-vaccine content has increased in recent weeks.
This coincides with increased calls from some Fox News personalities, like Steve Doocy and Sean Hannity, for viewers to get vaccinated. Those calls were reported widely as an about-face for Fox News, but the Media Matters study contradicts that narrative.

Fox News Channel, which has been reworking large parts of its programming schedule in the aftermath of the 2020 election, said it would launch new weekend programs hosted by conservative firebrand Dan Bongino and former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy.
Gowdy will host a 7 p.m. program on Sundays while Bongino will lead a 10 p.m. program on Saturday. Fox News said its “The Big Saturday Show” and “The Big Sunday Show,” which have been airing at 5 p.m. on weekends, will become a permanent part of the schedule. The programs will launch in hours that in the recent past have been used for repeats. As part of the programming changes, Bongino’s popular radio program, which airs on Cumulus-owned radio station during a time slot once occupied by Rush Limbaugh, will stream on Fox Nation, the network’s subscription-based video service.
The two hosts will bolster the network’s right-leaning bona fides.

Maria Bartiromo to Host ‘Fox News Primetime’ Next Week as Bakeoff for Key Slot Continues (Exclusive)
Maria Bartiromo will return to the anchor chair during “Fox News Primetime” on Monday as the network continues its search for a permanent host, TheWrap has learned.

After Bartiromo, other guest hosts lined up for the 7 p.m. hour include Trey Gowdy, Katie Pavlich, Rachel Campos-Duffy,...

Maria Bartiromo will be among the Fox News Channel personnel taking a crack at leading “Fox News Primetime,” the cable-news outlet’s new opinion hour at 7 p.m.
Bartiromo, contributors Katie Pavlich, Rachel Campos-Duffy and former U.S. Representative Trey Gowdy, and frequent guest Mark Steyn are among those who will rotate as anchors on the program. Fox News launched an overhauled daytime lineup today that placed the former 7 p.m. anchor, Martha MacCallum, in the afternoons, and reserved the hour instead for an additional hour of opinion-based programming. Brian Kilmeade, the “Fox & Friends” co-host, kicks off the show today and will be followed by the other hosts, a spokesperson for the network confirmed Monday.

Maria Bartiromo, Brian Kilmeade and Trey Gowdy are among the list of rotating hosts who will anchor Fox News Primetime, set for its debut in the 7 Pm hour as part of a plan to fill the slot with opinion programming.
Last week, Fox News announced that the newscast The Story with Martha MacCallum would be moved to 3 Pm. A permanent host will fill the 7 Pm hour at some later date, but Kilmeade will launch the show with tonight’s telecast.
Also planned among the rotating hosts will be Katie Pavlich, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Mark Steyn. Gowdy, Pavlich and Campos-Duffy are regular contributors to the network; Steyn is a regular guest.
Back in October, Fox News said that they were planning new formats “as appropriate after the election.” But since election day, much has been made of the growth of Newsmax’s viewership, particularly in the 7 Pm hour, as Greg Kelly...

Updated with video: Bill Maher found his stride in his first episode since March to originate from the regular studio home of HBO’s Real Time, capping tonight’s show with a call-to-postal-action against — who else — President Donald Trump.
“If Trump’s going to try to scuttle the Post Office, we need to fight back,” the host said, delivering his “New Rules” show-ending monologue from his familiar set at LA’s CBS Television City. Starting in October, he added, “Don’t use the mail for anything but ballots until the election is over” on November 3.
Without an in-person audience due to Covid-19 restrictions, no one applauded Maher’s proposed hashtag for the postal effort: #FreeUpTheMail, but he charged forward anyway. The segment, along with conversations with guests Wynton Marsalis, Trey Gowdy, Rick Wilson and Nina Burleigh, saw Maher ditch the self-pitying mewling of some of his recent backyard efforts during the pandemic.

The House’s effort to impeach Donald Trump reached its most contentious phase on Wednesday — debate over the actual charges to remove him from office — in a primetime “markup” hearing that broadcast networks declined to cover.
That left coverage of the House Judiciary Committee proceedings to streaming services, cable news networks, and C-span. Yet as the session started, Fox News stayed with The Story with Martha MacCullum, including an interview with former congressman Trey Gowdy, occasionally with an inset of the proceedings in the corner of the screen. MSNBC initially covered the session, then went to Hardball with Chris Matthews, and then went back and forth with coverage or a screen inset. Only CNN stayed with the proceedings.
Wednesday night’s proceedings were a “markup” hearing, in which members began debate on the articles of impeachment.
The event featured five-minute speeches from each of 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee was not present because of a medical procedure). The markup included no witnesses, but several hours of member statements, much of what has already been said before. That apparently was enough of a disincentive for broadcasters to pre-empt their primetime lineups.
Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-ny), though, started the markup session by calling it a “somber” occasion and then urged Republicans to view their place in history.
“I hope every member of this committee will withstand the political pressures of the moment. I hope none of us attempt to justify behavior that we know in our heart is wrong,” he said.
He added, “President Trump will not be president forever. When his time has passed, when his grip on our politics is gone, when our country returns, as surely it will, to calmer times and stronger leadership, history will look back on our actions here today. How would you be remembered?”
The Judiciary Committee is considering two articles of impeachment — one for abuse of power, one for obstruction. The charges are related to Trump’s alleged efforts to pressure the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. The White House then refused to comply with congressional subpoenas after they launched the impeachment inquiry in September.
Nadler argued that “there can be no serious debate about what President Trump did,” reciting from the transcript summary of the July 25 phone call he had with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
The ranking member of the committee, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga), continued to rail against the process.
“The real legacy of this impeachment hearing will not be the removal of Donald Trump,” he said, adding that the real “institutional damage” will be to the House.
“My heart breaks for a committee that has trashed this institution, and this is where we are now,” he said.
The strategy of Republicans has been to characterize the process as illegitimate, and a common refrain is that Democrats have had it out for Trump since the start of his term. Rep. Ken Buck (R-co) even mentioned the fact that Kathy Griffin appeared in a video with a mock Trump severed head, and Robert De Niro blurted of “f— Trump” at the Tony Awards.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-tx) recited the name of the person who Republicans believe is the whistleblower, the figure who first filed a complaint about Trump’s July 25 phone call, as he went through a list of people to call as witnesses.
Other Republicans said impeachment was an action not just against Trump, but those who voted for him.
“It’s not just that they don’t like the president. They don’t like the 63 million people who voted for this president. All of us in flyover country,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-oh).
The speakers had varying cadences as they argued for or against articles of impeachment. But they shared in common their tones of indignation that the political situation in Washington had led to this. The speeches showed the wide gulf between the two parties: Democrats say they have no choice given the threat of Trump; Republicans say it’s a sham to try to prevent Trump’s reelection. Lawmakers gave no hint of wavering from their positions.
Most viewers likely will see only clips of remarks or short segments that go viral on Twitter. Many of the members framed their votes as one of the most important of their careers; others tried to frame their pending decision with their own personal narratives.
Rep. Lucy McBath (D-ga) recounted the shooting death of her son, Jordan, that led her to become a gun reform activist and eventually to run for Congress.
Rep. Val Demings (D-fl) talked of growing up in the 60s, the daughter of a janitor and a maid, before explaining that “We have only one option. That is to hold this president accountable.”
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-ca) noted that she participated in three different impeachment processes. She was a Judiciary Committee staffer in 1974, during the Nixon impeachment proceedings. She was a congresswoman during the Clinton impeachment in 1998.
“The power to impeach is not to punish a president,” Lofgren said. “It is to protect Americans from a president who would abuse his power, upend the constitutional order, and threaten our Democracy.”
The nighttime hearing brought a smaller crowd to the Ways & Means hearing room at the Longworth Office Building, with plenty of seats still available in the public gallery. In an odd moment, a baby was heard crying.
The broadcast and cable networks covered the five public House Intelligence Committee hearings and the two previous House Judiciary Committee hearings. The high profile nature of the proceedings has put some focus on what gets covered and what does not. On Wednesday, the Trump campaign sent out an email blasting CNN for not covering the opening statement of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-sc), at a hearing featuring Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz, who did a review of the way that the FBI conducted the Russia investigation. CNN did not carry the opening statement of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), but did cover Horowitz’s remarks.
It’s unclear how the networks will cover the next “markup” hearing on Thursday, which are expected to go for hours of extensive debate over proposed amendments. That will lead to a final vote, after which the articles would go to the full House.
If the House passes one or more of the articles, the Senate would then hold a trial. If 2/3 of the Senate votes to convict, Trump is removed from office. That seems highly unlikely, as it would take 20 Senate Republicans joining 47 Democrats and independents.

Fox News’ Chris Wallace was at it again on Friday, filling the void of truth-telling on a “news” network that defends President Donald Trump regardless of the facts.

Fox News Channel has dropped former Rep. Trey Gowdy as a contributor after reports that he is joining President Donald Trump’s legal team as outside counsel for the impeachment inquiry.
A Fox News spokesperson said Gowdy “has been terminated and is no longer a contributor.”
Gowdy joined Fox News in January, after leaving Congress after four terms. He was already well known to viewers as the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, tasked with investigating what happened during the attack on an American consulate in Libya in 2012. The highest profile moment came in 2015, when Hillary Clinton, who was Secretary of State at the time of the attack, testified for 11 hours before the committee.
Fox News’ Outnumbered reported on Gowdy’s new role, and co-host Melissa Francis used past tense to make clear that he was no longer a contributor to the network.

No wonder so many U.S. politicians have announced their retirement recently — their new jobs might be more secure. Amid a hiring spree of ex-congressmen, governors and such among news outlets, Fox News Channel has joined the fun and signed Gop Rep. Trey Gowdy as a contributor.
The former Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and member of the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees will offer political and legal analysis Fnc and Fox Business Network’s daytime and primetime programming.
Among his appointments during Gowdy’s eight years representing South Carolina’s 4th District, he chaired the House Select Committee on the Benghazi attack and played a key role in Congress’ probe into then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s role in the 2012 terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Libya.

Former Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy has joined Fox News Channel as a contributor, the latest recently-departed politician to take to the TV-news ranks as the networks seek out fresh faces to keep viewers intrigued by their broadcasts.
Gowdy, who represented South Carolina starting in 2010, announced in 2018 he would not seek re-election after four terms in Congress. He served as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and was a member of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees. During his time in Congress, Rep. Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, played a significant role in the congressional investigation of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the terrorist attacks in Benghazi.

It will be a public hearing, according to Dem Rep. Elijah Cummings, head of the committee formerly helmed by Gop Rep. Trey Gowdy.

A group of 11 Republican lawmakers on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Led by Reps. Mark Meadows (R-nc) and Jim Jordan (R-oh), the resolution accuses Rosenstein of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” alleging that he has been withholding information from Congress regarding Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election — which Rosenstein oversees — as well as the FBI’s closed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Whoopi Goldberg did not waste a minute getting to her response to Jeanine Pirro’s claims over yesterday’s high-volume appearance on The View, about which Pirro said she was ejected from the building “like a dog.”
“Things got hot on the air, which you expect. That happens a lot,” Goldberg said. “I want to clear up what happened afterwards, because she talked about it on Fox News and Fox & Friends this morning, but she seemed to leave out some key points….a lot of pertinent stuff” Goldberg said, noting there were plenty of witnesses.
Pirro had arrived at the show upset upon learning Anna Navarro would be filling in for Joy Behar, Goldberg said, reiterating what Deadline reported yesterday.
Things got hot during her second book-plugging segment, which Den Mom Whoopi seemed to cut short, though today she insisted it ran as long as scheduled.

The question has hung over the Republican Party for nearly two years: What will it take for Gop leaders to call bullshit on President Trump’s refusal to acknowledge Russia’s attacks on American democracy?
The answer became slightly clearer Monday in the hours following Trump’s joint press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland. After meeting in private with Putin – without aides or advisers – for two hours, Trump faced the U.S. and international media and gave a truly stunning performance.

With no World Cup action taking place until the third-place game on Saturday, the biggest show on Thursday was FBI agent Peter Strzok’s appearance in front of the House Judiciary Committee. And so Stephen Colbert, in a rare move, devoted his entire monologue on “The Late Show” Thursday night to the occasion.
Colbert rarely spends his entire monologue on a single topic, but this was a special occasion and one that required all of his stage talents to handle, as you’ll discover in a moment.
“It was a parliamentary smackdown. The Capitol dome became the Thunderdome,” Colbert said as he started getting revved up. “And it’s all during the testimony of FBI agent and man thinking about Cold Stone Creamery, Peter Strzok.

“It was a parliamentary smackdown. The Capitol dome became the Thunderdome,” Colbert said as he started getting revved up. “And it’s all during the testimony of FBI agent and man thinking about Cold Stone Creamery, Peter Strzok. Back in 2016, Strzok was part of the FBI’s investigations into both Hillary Clinton and the Trump campaign. and since then it’s come out...

President Trump hasn’t let a jam-packed European trip distract him from what’s really important: Discrediting the Russia investigation. Since touching down in Brussels on Tuesday, Trump has continued to tweet about the “Rigged Witch Hunt,” focusing his ire on FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, the “lovers” who were revealed to have exchanged texts critical of Trump during the 2016 campaign. The president has long cited the texts as proof that the investigation, which Strzok played a pivotal role in, was politically motivated.

Not that he’s even been particularly nice in his comments about Donald Trump, but Stephen Colbert’s monologues on “The Late Show” have been increasingly pointed as the situation in the country has itself gotten increasingly desperate-feeling. On Thursday’s episode, Colbert’s last before he goes on hiatus for a week, he laid it all out there.
Colbert began his monologue by going in on Republicans in Congress for whining about the Mueller investigation to deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, concluding that thread by addressing a comment made by South Carolina representative and “backwoods Anderson Cooper” Trey Gowdy.
Gowdy: “If you have evidence of wrongdoing by any member of the Trump campaign, present it to the damn grand jury. Whatever you got, finish it the hell up.”

Updated with video: John Oliver added an image of Anthony Bourdain to the opening of Last Week Tonight, by way of tribute to the CNN series host/foodie who died Friday.
But he devoted most of the episode to Donald Trump.
Oliver started by noting Trump’s assertion that he hasn’t done much prep for Tuesday’s summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un because it’s mostly about “attitude” is “not even a viable strategy on RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
He then spent a full 17 minutes deconstructing how Trump’s team, and his Fox News acolytes, have gone about re-defining the Mueller investigation, to sway public opinion. Polls show the strategy is working and, when the number of people who want the probe to continue drops below 50%, Oliver predicted Trump will kill it.
No one is working harder than Fox News’ Sean Hannity, he noted.

Donald Trump continued to attack Robert Iger on Twitter this morning, two days after the Disney CEO called Valerie Jarrett to say he was pulling the plug on ABC’s Roseanne revival.
“Iger, where is my call of apology?” Trump tweeted this morning. “You and ABC have offended millions of people, and they demand a response. How is Brian Ross doing? He tanked the market with an ABC lie, yet no apology. Double Standard!”
Lot to unpack there. The day Disney-owned ABC announced it was canceling Roseanne over star Roseanne Barr’s tweet comparing former Obama adviser Jarrett to an ape, Trump was uncharacteristically silent. That night, Jarrett told MSNBC that Iger had called her before the cancellation was announced to inform her of the decision and apologize for the show star’s tweet.

“Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne,” Trump tweeted.
“Gee he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the Horrible statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?” Trump added, third-person-ily.

After a major morning Twitter dump, President Donald Trump proudly declared to reporters on the White House lawn that “they” too are now using the name “Spygate” with regard to his campaign to discredit Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling.
“We now call it ‘Spygate.’ You’re calling it ‘Spygate,'” Trump beamed inaccurately, on the South Lawn.
The master of media manipulation held another of his tantalizing impromptu news conferences as he walked toward Marine One, heading to an event in New York where he said he plans to regale the crowd with more stories about the Ms-13 gang. White House is calling it an immigration event. Same thing, in Trumpworld.
Not wasting time, one off-camera reporters asked what proof Trump had as to his claims that his campaign was spied on by the FBI.
It was exactly the question Trump had hoped for.

President Donald Trump continued his Twitter attack on Special Counsel Robert Mueller this morning.
Potus has championed a campaign to discredit Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the election, this week making good on his Sunday “I hereby demand” tweet:
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/Doj infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!
FBI Director Chris Wray and Deputy Ag Rod Rosenstein blinked and, on Thursday, House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes and Oversight Chair Trey Gowdy will meet with Doj and FBI officials about an FBI source who reportedly met with Trump campaign participants. No Dems are invited to the meeting.
Trump this morning ratcheted up his claim the FBI spied on his campaign.

Jim Carrey has sketched his official submission for Donald Trump’s presidential portrait.
In his latest piece of political artwork, the Ace Ventura star, 56, depicts the commander-in-chief eating his preferred dessert, two scoops of ice cream, while rubbing an exposed nipple poking out from a blue bathrobe. Trump, drawn with his mouth agape, also looks to be yelling in the sketch.
“Dear Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery @Npg, I know it’s early but I’d like to submit this as the official portrait of our 45th President, Donald J. Trump,” Carrey captioned. “It’s called, ‘You Scream. I Scream. Will We Ever Stop Screaming?...
