President Donald Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, earned brutally bad reviews Tuesday on her first day on the job. Zacharia read from a statement touting the president's accomplishments and popularity, then took only a handful of questions before leaving the press room. She did make news, announcing that the White House had asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as ambassador to Greece. "Holy sh-- " Zacharia took 3 questions and then wrapped it up," marveled journalist Aaron Rupar. "The whole press briefing was under 30 minutes. What a disaster ... This is an SNL cold open come to life. She can barely read." "This is boom goes the dynamite bad," cringed The Bulwark's Jim Swift.


President Trump ridiculed a woman who protested his speech Monday at a political rally in Youngstown, Ohio, after the heckler was physically assaulted by a crowd member. The woman, who was wearing a "Release the Epstein Files" shirt, was punched in the face by a crowd member at the event while rallygoers cheered on the assault with chants of "USA." Police later intervened and removed her from the venue, while the man who punched her remained inside and exchanged high-fives with other attendees, according to Fox News. Trump, who had been criticizing Ohio Senate candidate Sherrod Brown (D) before the altercation broke out, suggested the heckler was a "paid protester."


Americans' confidence that food sold at most grocery stores is safe to eat has fallen to its lowest level Gallup has recorded, with 65% now very or somewhat confident. That is down from 73% last year and 72% in 2024, and well below the 81% recorded in 2019. Alongside declining confidence in grocery store food safety, Americans have become less confident in the federal government's ability to ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply.
