Late-night host Jimmy Fallon swiped at former President Joe Biden on Wednesday during "The Tonight Show" after the ex-president announced he would be releasing a memoir in November. Biden's memoir, "Promise Me, America," will chronicle his presidency and reveal the "deeply agonizing calculation" behind his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, according to a press release announcing the book.

We're probably talking some of the worst air quality in the world right now and it's literally over the Screencaps HQ. How bad is it? Just opening an external door will take your breath away. That's not an exaggeration. It's actually eery how still it is. The smoke, and the putrid plastic smell is just hovering. Which brings me to th

"Fox News Saturday Night" host Jimmy Failla looked back on his unlikely path to becoming a FOX personality, recalling his first television appearance while still driving a New York City cab — and keeping it double-parked outside the studio.

The Trump administration took the fight over who controls U.S. attorney appointments to a whole new level, firing a Seattle-based prosecutor less than an hour after he was picked for the job without the blessing of the administration. "District court judges can appoint a temporary U.S. Attorney, and POTUS can fire them," Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote Wednesday on X as he was testifying before the Senate in his confirmation hearing, calling out a U.S. District Court for the Western D

Ministers have U-turned on plans to strip volunteer coastguard officers of their hourly pay after intense criticism of the plan.

It has raised questions over the position of Virginia McVea, the head of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). Coastguard offic
