The Democratic Party is examining how it lost the 2024 election, but it apparently does not intend to spend much time looking at their actual presidential campaigns. The party is planning to avoid reviewing decisions like whether President Joe Biden should have run for reelection, whether he should have dropped out of the race sooner, or whether Vice President Kamala Harris was the right candidate, The New York Times reported Saturday.

Following a dramatic loss across the board to Republicans and Donald Trump, who is leading an increasingly authoritarian presidency, Democrats...

Nexstar’s The Hill and NewsNation are planning an all-day summit next week tied to the first six months of Donald Trump’s term.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will be among the participants in the July 16 event, called the Hill Nation Summit. It will be held from 8 a.m. Et to 5 p.m. Et.

Among the others in the lineup are White House Senior Counselor Peter Navarro; Sen. Mark Warner (D-va); David Hogg, former vice chair of the Democratic National Committee; Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler; former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy; Bo Hines, executive director of the White House Council on Digital Assets; Rep. Lisa McLain (R-Mi); Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-fl); Rep. Ro Khanna (D-ca); Rep. Kevin Hern (R-ok); Rep. John James (R-Mi); Rep. Jim Jordan (R-oh); and Rep. Ted Lieu (D-ca). Per NewsNation, more names are still to be confirmed, with the final list expected to have a bipartisan balance.

Since Donald Trump’s Republican Party took full control of the U.S. government 153 days ago, tens of thousands of civil servants have lost their jobs. Whole agencies have been hollowed out, years of scientific research have been flushed down the drain. Global confidence in the U.S. dollar has cratered. Masked government goon squads have fanned out in cities across the country, kidnapping people on the basis of their political speech and the color of their skin, and the military has been deployed to quell domestic protests.

So where is the opposition party?...

Bill Maher concluded another episode of his HBO talk show with another rant about everything wrong with Gen Z.

On Friday’s episode of Real Time, the comedian simultaneously got on his trusty old anti-woke high horse, accusing young people of aligning with terrorism, while also attempting to appeal to the youths with a reference to the same network’s The White Lotus.

“Talk to your children, and remind them you don’t really wanna live like your heroes in Hamas. All the shit you do all day, it was all made in America. Your smartphone, your Grubhub, your freedom to bitch about America, that’s all American stuff,” said Maher, adding: “Please! You couldn’t survive a week living in Intifada-ville. You’re like the girl from The White Lotus who was going to live in a Buddhist monastery and then lasted one night.”

He was referring to Sarah Catherine Hook‘s Piper Ratliff,...

Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois announced on Wednesday he will not be seeking reelection next year. Durbin, who is 80, has spent more than half of his life serving first in the House and then the Senate, where he was elevated to Democratic Whip, party leadership’s second-highest role. “I truly love the job of being a United States senator, but in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch,” Durbin said in a video message.

The conference room where David Hogg is mounting his bid for vice chair of the Democratic National Committee has exposed brick and a nice view of a specific Washington D.C. landmark, but he’s asked me not to disclose which one. Ever since his high school was shot up on Valentine’s Day seven years ago, and Hogg became one of the faces of the student-led movement for gun control, he has had to be careful about sharing details like that. He’s been doxed, his parent’s home was swatted,...

In the closing days of the 2012 presidential campaign, Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois of the New Radicals teamed up with Ne-Yo, the Goo Goo Dolls’ Johnny Rzeznik, Herbie Hancock, Delta Rae, and Natasha Bedingfield to create the Barack Obama campaign anthem “Forward.” Twelve years later, Alexander and Brisebois have updated the song as “Forward (We’Re Not Going Back!)” for Kamala Harris, joined once again by Ne-Yo and Herbie Hancock. It was produced by John Shanks, Gregg Alexander & Nick Lashley. They’ve dubbed themselves the Not So Silent Collective.

With the 2024 presidential election just weeks away, Bill Maher urged people to stop hoping for an “October surprise” that will “save us from a second Trump term.”

During his “New Rules” segment on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher Friday, the host argued that the former president could commit the worst crimes “and it wouldn’t move the needle at all” or “knock Donald Trump out of the race.”

“He’s banged a porn star and attempted a coup, he steals from charities. If you’re waiting for an October surprise to knock him out, dream on. There are better odds of another Joker musical,” Maher said, referencing the Joker: Folie à Deux box office flop earlier this month.

The comedian continued, “Trump said last week that really doing the Purge, like in the movie, might be a good crime-fighting technique. He’s the only candidate where the voters...

Can he walk back on this one? Maybe or maybe not. Tim Walz is trying to fix the huge mistake he made during his vice presidential debate against his opponent, Jd Vance. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Tim Walz – Finally Tries To Fix His Big Mistake

According to the latest reports, Tim Walz is asked to clarify his comment about being friends with school sh**ters, says he is passionate about the topic and is friends with David Hogg.

When a reporter asked Walz, “Can you clarify your comment on school sh**ters?” that’s when he gave his bizarre answer.

He said, “I’m super passionate about this. The question comes about school sh**tings. We’re talking about everything except school sh**tings. And I sat as a member of Congress with the Sandy Hook parents and it was a profound movement.”

Walz continued,...

MSNBC has ordered a new documentary series, featuring a slew of boldface names that will serve as narrators and participants.

The four-part series from NBC News Studios and MSNBC Films, My Generation, will feature interviews and archival footage to explore each of the four generations that make up the vast majority of Americans: Baby Boomers (born 1946 to 1964), Generation X (born 1965 to 1981), Millennials (born 1981 to 1996) and Gen Z (born after 1997).

Each episode will feature celebrity narrators who are from that generation to walk viewers through their experiences.

The Baby Boomer episode will be narrated by Forest Whitaker, and explores those who grew up in the shadow of world events like the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy.

The Generation X episode will be narrated by Ethan Hawke, and will feature interviews with Tony Hawk, Alyssa Milano, and Richard Linklater.

Kristen Bell will narrate the Millennials episode,...

Shortly after the presidential debate between current Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump, Taylor Swift took to Instagram to endorse Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the upcoming election.

“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Taylor wrote. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Since her endorsement, which many have been waiting to see if the 34-year-old entertainer would do so,...

Dylan Douglas, the son of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, is entering the media business in a significant way.

Douglas has signed on to host a weekly limited series for SiriusXM, beginning Sept. 14. The series, Young American with Dylan Douglas, will run on the SiriusXM Progress channel 127 on Saturdays at 11 a.m., with replays throughout the weekend.

He plans to engage his social media followers (including about 80,000 on Instagram) and involve them in the conversations.

Douglas, who graduated from Brown University in 2022, has worked mostly in politics up until now, including on campaigns and for grassroots organizations. Earlier this year his parents hosted a fundraiser for President Joe Biden, and Dylan joined his father in introducing him, according to a White House pool report.

“He’s now stepping in front of the microphone because he feels strongly that his generation needs to play a more active and integral role in...

Celebrities and political figures will take part on Thursday in an organizing and fundraising Zoom event to rally Americans living abroad for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

Six years ago a gunman entered my high school in Parkland, Florida, and shot and killed 17 people and wounded 17 more. At the time, Donald Trump was in the middle of his presidency. Days after he expressed potential support for gun safety laws, the NRA called him up and he reversed himself. No one offered us more than thoughts and prayers. It was up to us, young people, to March For Our Lives.

Since then, we’ve done more than march and accomplished what most thought was impossible. We passed the...

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host who was ousted by the network this spring, took aim at colleagues of his former employer for not stepping up to defend fringe conspiracy-monger Alex Jones.

On the latest episode of his show on X (formerly Twitter), Carlson hosted Tristan Tate, who along with his brother Andrew Tate was arrested in March 2023 by Romanian authorities. They were charged in June on rape and human trafficking offenses — both deny the charges — and were released from house arrest last week.

Carlson and Tate were discussing free-speech issues, and Tate brought up the case of internet platforms like YouTube banning Jones, the far-right conspiracy figure who was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to families of Sandy Hook victims over his lies about the 2012 deadly massacre.

“You don’t have to agree with everything Alex Jones says. I like Alex Jones,” Tate said on Sunday’s episode...

Marjorie Taylor Greene has scored 60 Minutes its second-lowest night of ratings this season, drawing only 6.6 million viewers.

Viewership for Sunday (2 April) night’s episode, featuring the controversial US Representative from Georgia, dropped 28.32 per cent from the week before, according to Nielsen ratings.

This is a low the CBS news show hasn’t seen since its 15 January episode, which drew the season’s lowest ratings with 6.33 million viewers.

The Independent understands the latest numbers are on par with the show’s 2022 ratings.

Days before the episode aired, the show’s account tweeted: “Georgia Republican Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, nicknamed Mtg, isn’t afraid to share her opinions, no matter how intense and in-your-face they are. She sits down with Lesley Stahl this Sunday on 60 Minutes.”

The tweet was met with strong criticism from angry audience members, who argued the show was giving the far-right politician a “national spotlight”.

“I will never watch again,...

“60 Minutes” has drawn criticism from journalists and other public figures for its sit-down interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which aired on Sunday evening.

In the interview, Greene asserted that Democrats are the “party of pedophiles,” saying, “They support grooming children… Even Joe Biden himself supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.”

The Republican representative doubled down on her comments in a Tweet, writing, “I will always fight to protect kids!”

Greene, who was elected to a House seat representing Georgia in 2020, has been a primary subject of fervent criticism from Democratic figures for several years. During her campaign, she voiced support for a range of conspiracy theories promoted by the QAnon movement, which the FBI has deemed a domestic terror group. She has also promoted misinformation regarding Covid-19 vaccines.

Greene was interviewed by “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl. Criticism of the segment registered days before it even aired,...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was interviewed by Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes Sunday. The program was criticized for spotlighting the divisive congresswoman, who has touted conspiracy theories and called for more guns in schools even in the wake of tragedy, including following the school shooting in Nashville last week — which left three children and three teachers dead.

During the segment filmed prior to Trump’s indictment, Stahl’s mostly softball interview discussed Greene’s rise in the Republican Party and what 60 Minutes described as her “America First,...

In recent years, the leading activists and change makers in our world have been young. Folks like Greta Thunberg and Xiuhtezcatl Roske-Martinez have been fighting and calling on others to fight back and curb the effects of climate change and human activities exacerbating it. There are also people like David Hogg and X González and other survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting who have brought politicians to task over the prevalence of gun violence in America. This is an era where the problems of the world are being tackled by young people as they would face the negative effects. However, do these real-life events make stories about young people saving the world a bit too familiar?...

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the right-wing conspiracy theorist known for harassing her political opponents, is now preaching tolerance after claiming she was “attacked” by an “insane woman” at a restaurant on Monday night.

“I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son. They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views,” she tweeted. “They are self righteous, insane, and completely out of control. I was sitting at my table,...

On October 18, 2018, film executive Franklin Leonard’s phone started vibrating and would not stop. His eyes grew wide as his screen filled up with Twitter alerts from strangers hurling vicious, baffling insults at him, hundreds of tweets at a time. He was a rent boy for billionaire Democratic donor George Soros, they said, or he ran the Muslim Brotherhood alongside Huma Abedin. Some said they were eager to see him killed.

Leonard was no stranger to threats: in 2005, he launched “The Black List,” an annual publication highlighting Hollywood’s most popular unproduced scripts.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy made good on most of his promises to appoint far-right members of the Republican party to House committees this week, including appointing Marjorie Taylor Greene to the Homeland Security Committee. And on Wednesday, the hosts of “The View” called that particular assignment “horrifying,” given the congresswoman’s past statements about terror threats to the homeland.

Granted, the women of “The View” weren’t exactly surprised by McCarthy’s choices for committees. Host Joy Behar noted that it was “a clown car that was coming.”

“I mean, let’s face it. This has been coming, because Kevin McCarthy has no soul,” Behar said. “He has no ethics. He has no morals. He has no spine. I don’t know. He’s a shell of a human being in my opinion. He crawled to get this position which he could lose like that.”

Following his so-far unsuccessful attempt to lure Donald Trump back to Twitter, Elon Musk has opened the social media platform up to another once-banned far-right favorite: Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene’s personal account was reinstated Monday, Nov. 21, one day after Trump’s account was reinstated. Greene was suspended back in January for repeatedly violating the site’s Covid-19 misinformation policy at the time. The last straw came when she tweeted an image of a graph that used uncorroborated data to suggest that the covid vaccine was causing widespread death amongst recipients.

In a heated exchange with youth activists, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) was seen clashing with several young protestors while walking in D.C., and even kicked one of the people standing in front of her.

In a rather stunning choice, Greene tweeted the video, calling the activists “foolish cowards,” in the caption seeming to think her kicking someone looks good on her behalf.

In the video, Greene is seen walking with several members of her team while in a verbal argument with several young people over gun control. At one point, a young woman who was on Greene’s left side was walking in front of her briefly, and then she appears to trip after it looks like Greene sticks her own leg out.

Greene snaps, “excuse me” twice at the activist before she moves out of the way.

The person she hit, Marianna Pecora, even responded to the video in disbelief,...

Republican and Democratic Senators have signed onto a tentative agreement for gun reform legislation in the wake of the shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school.

The proposed deal for bipartisan reform, a group of senators announced Sunday, includes enhanced background checks for buyers ages 18-21 as well as funding for mental health treatment and school security. The deal is a result of negotiations between Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas). Ten Republican senators — the number Democrats would need to overcome a filibuster — have signed on.

In addition to Cornyn,...

A bipartisan group of senators have reach an agreement on a framework for a series of new gun safety measures on Sunday, but they fall short of banning the purchase of assault weapons for those under 21.

Specifically, the agreement would expand background checks for those under 21 who purchase guns; grants for states to implement “red flag” laws, which allows law enforcement to temporarily take away guns who pose a danger to themselves or others; an expansion of mental health programs; improving the background check system overall, with a focus on preventing domestic abusers from buying guns; and increasing funding for school security. It also includes the first federal law against gun trafficking and straw purchasing.

Such an announcement would reflect a breakthrough in a long stalemate over any new gun legislation, even though it does not include measures that have widespread public support, like universal background checks, a ban on...

Four years after the first March for Our Lives rally in support of gun control, thousands of people attended rallies nationwide Saturday in the aftermath of mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York.

March for Our Lives was founded by survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in 2018; seventeen students and staff were killed in that Parkland, Florida shooting. Four years later, organizers announced a second March for Our Lives after 19 children were killed at Robb Elementary School on May 31, renewing demands for common sense gun laws once again.

Matthew McConaughey gave an impassioned and emotional speech at the White House on Tuesday calling for “responsible gun ownership” in the wake of the school shooting at Robb Elementary two weeks ago in Uvalde, Texas.

The actor and Uvalde native choked back some tears during his press briefing, talking about one of the student victims killed in the attack and referring to her parents holding a pair of green sneakers, saying that the only way her child could be identified was her shoes.

McConaughey also stressed the need to invest in mental health care, safer schools, restraining overzealous media coverage but also the need for responsible gun ownership.

When Mark Barden received the first “thinking of you” text on Tuesday afternoon, he assumed the well-wisher had the anniversary of some other horrific school shooting on their mind. Late May is ripe with them: This week marks the four-year anniversary of a shooting spree at a high school Santa Fe, Texas, that left 10 dead, and eight years since a University of California, Santa Barbara student murdered two fellow students outside a sorority house in Isla Vista, California. “They do just seem to stack up,” Barden sighed.

After a string of performers pulled out of this weekend’s planned NRA “Grand Ol’ Night of Freedom” concert in Houston, the musical event apparently has been canceled.

The concert was to have taken place during the organization’s annual conference. “American Pie” singer Don McLean, Larry Gatlin, Larry Stewart, Lee Greenwood, T. Graham Brown and Danielle Peck all canceled in the past few days, and this morning the only remaining act, country singer Jacob Bryant, posted on Twitter, “The show has been cancelled since yesterday.”

The Jan. 6 committee “in the next week or two” will take next steps on its decision on issuing subpoenas to compel Republican lawmakers to testify about Donald Trump and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, committee member Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said Sunday on Face the Nation.

“If that takes a subpoena, it takes a subpoena,” he added. The committee is planning for public hearings in June that Kinzinger said will “lay the whole story out in front of the American people … because ultimately, they have to be the judge.” One potential witness is Rep.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has made a career out of publicly harassing her imagined enemies. She got a dose of her own medicine on Tuesday when her joint press conference with Reps.

“Us Kids,” a documentary set in the aftermath of the tragic 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, has been acquired by New York-based global documentary film sales agent ​Cargo Film & Releasing​.

On Feb. 14, 2018, a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and injuring 17 more. After the events of that day, the students went from experiencing a mass tragedy to launching a global youth movement against gun violence that included more than ​800 groups​ across the U.S. and around the world, including in London, Madrid, Rome and Tokyo.

Director Kim Snyder documents the story of a whole new generation of youth leaders who chose to overcome their trauma and try to make the world a safer place. The film includes many of the central figures in the movement, including Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg. It premiered at Sundance 2020.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the freshman Republican congresswoman from Georgia who has a history of beliefs in QAnon conspiracy theories and that mass school shootings were staged, was stripped of her committee assignments Thursday in a vote by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Lawmakers voted 230-199 to remove Greene from the committees as a sanction for her incendiary comments. Eleven Republicans joined with Democrats in favor of the resolution.

Greene has drawn extensive media attention since she was sworn in to Congress, but her views got extra focus last week as news outlets reported on her “likes” of Facebook posts that advocated violence against members of Congress, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Another video surfaced in which she was shown berating David Hogg, one of the survivors of the Parkland, Fl, school shootings. Other postings advanced anti-Semitic and racist tropes.

Republicans, while condemning Greene’s views, argued that the vote...

Exclusive: Greenwich Entertainment has secured the North American distribution rights to Us Kids, the Kim A. Snyder-directed documentary, which chronicles the March For Our Lives student-led movement that was sparked by the plague of gun violence ravaging their schools. It premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and will be released in theaters and on digital platforms on April 9, shortly after the three-year anniversary of March For Our Lives.

The documentary follows Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg, Cameron Kasky, Samantha Fuentes, gun violence survivors and teenage activists, as they pull together the largest youth protest in American history. Their movement went global with rallies on 6 continents and in over 700 cities in every state across the nation, expanding to address racial injustice, a growing public health crisis, and shocking a political system into change. The movement was instrumental in the record youth voter turnout in 2018 and 2020.

Updated, 6:02 Pm: Rep. Liz Cheney (R-wy) survived an effort to oust her from House Republican leadership, a move that would have been punishment for her vote to impeach Donald Trump.

The vote was 145 to 61 among the House Republican conference to retain Cheney, according to the Associated Press.

A vote to oust Cheney would have signaled the durability of Trump’s support even after he has been out of office. As it was, House Republicans already were facing criticism for taking a vote on Cheney’s future while not taking action against Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Previously: Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting far greater attention in the media than her actual power as a freshman congresswoman in the minority party, filling a void that may have otherwise gone to Donald Trump.

Two weeks from now marks the third anniversary of the mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, during which 17 teenagers were tragically killed. On Sunday night (Jan. 31), Academy Award-winning actress, singer and activist Cher and activist Emma Gonzalez — a Parkland survivor — continued the conversation with a virtual screening of Kim A. Snyder’s 2020 documentary, “Us Kids,” followed by a live question and answer session.

“I was happy to see that Emma’s passion has not diminished a drop since the making of this profound documentary,” Cher tells Variety. “As I said during the conversation, I think our generations working together can make great progress addressing gun violence and other important issues”.

The talk, which was capped with a Cher singalong of her 1998 hit, “Believe,” centered not only on the film, but on other issues plaguing the U.S. and the world. “What’s going on...

The first Saturday Night Live cold open of 2021 featured Cecily Strong as Marjorie Taylor Greene, the QAnon adherent-turned-congresswoman whose conspiracy theorizing has become a source of endless media fascination.

The set up was Greene guesting on a talk show, What Still Works, with the host (Kate McKinnon) asking her, “What are some of the theories you believe in and have been promoted?”

“Okay, first off, I believe the Parkland shooting was a hoax,” Greene says. “The teachers were actors and the children were dolls. I believe 9/11 was a hoax. Did anyone actually see it happen? I have also told my supporters that they should physically murder Nancy Pelosi. This lady I work with. And this is a new one that just came out: I think that the California wildfires were caused by Jewish space lasers.”

Stephen Colbert ripped into Republican congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene on Thursday’s episode of the “Late Show,” telling viewers that the Georgia representative has the “homicidal vote on lockdown” thanks to her dangerous past rhetoric about conspiracy theories and political violence.

Greene was elected to Congress last year and is infamous for her support of the widely debunked QAnon conspiracy. During her campaign, she was condemned for posting a meme that showed her holding a gun next to Democratic representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. Just this week, as Greene received an appointment on the Education and Labor Committee, more disturbing comments from her online history have been revealed.

“In one Facebook post, a Greene supporter asked of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, ‘Now do we get to hang them?’ And Greene replied, ‘The stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient,...

Marjorie Taylor Greene has had a busy few days since being sworn into Congress. Known in the mainstream media as the “Qanon congresswoman” due to her support for the baseless far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, which posits the existence of a deep state cabal of left-wing cannibals and pedophiles angling for a new world order, Greene’s first big move in Congress was a dramatic announcement that she was filing for articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden. Reporters have since dredged up the congresswoman’s increasingly bizarre and unhinged social posts from her past,...

Fox News announced Wednesday that Laura Ingraham has signed a new multiyear deal to continue hosting her primetime show, “The Ingraham Angle.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed but the contract extension comes as no surprise. According to the network, Ingraham’s show is the most-watched 10 p.m. Et host in cable news history, and she is also the most-watched female cable host of all time.

“With so many challenges facing Americans, I am more determined than ever to deliver the incisive, pull-no-punches analysis and commentary that our viewers expect and enjoy,” said Ingraham, whose show started in October 2017.

Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media, made the announcement and released her own statement: “Laura’s one-of-a-kind expertise and powerful commentary has provided an important voice to millions of Americans as a staple of our primetime lineup and we are thrilled to feature her insightful perspective across our platforms for many years to come.

Fox News said it extended primetime host Laura Ingraham’s contract with the network, ensuring her 10 p.m. program, “The Ingraham Angle,” will remain in its lineup for the foreseeable future.

Fox News characterized the new pact as a “multi-year deal.” Ingraham joined Fox News Channel full-time in October of 2017 after establishing herself with a long-running radio program. She previously served as a contributor to Fox News starting in 2007.
