Bill Maher opened up about his biggest grievances with Donald Trump, as the comedian continues to dissect the president's second administration.

"Let's take stock of the first half of the first year of Trump's second term, and make some rational decisions about what to lose our s*** over," Maher said while discussing liberals' tendency to get distracted by the president's lesser offenses.

While Trump continues to make headlines, Maher noted that his antics are distracting from the "domestic army of masked troops" in ICE that are impacting urban communities.

"I'm not incensed. … I just don't have room," Maher said. "Right after he got elected in November, I said — here and everywhere else I could — he got the White House, but this time, he's not going to get my mind. There's only so many f*** to give."

"Steve Bannon famously said that the way you win is to flood the zone with s***. You want to help him with that? Great, you do you, but I'm not chasing every brain fart down the rabbit hole," he continued. "So therefore, here is my 1/8 of the term scorecard for what actually matters: Turning the Environmental Protection Agency into the pollution Protection Agency. Yes, that's going to matter. All the people who will lose health care and all the debt that will be run up from the Big, Beautiful Bill. Yes, that matters."

"Turning the Justice Department into the national revenge agency, firing all the inspector generals, maybe firing the head of the Federal Reserve, letting Doge destroy lives here and abroad in a way that didn't have to go down like that in order to slim the government down, which it didn't do anyway, creating a Domestic army of masked troops, rounding people up and sending them off to detention centers and foreign prisons? Yeah," Maher ranted.

He went on to share a tip liberals, saying, "Life is complicated, and Democrats need to be less emotional and more focused."

"Get a life, stop making [Trump] your whole personality," Maher said of Democrats. "So, please, when I'm out there, no more, 'Bill, did you just see what he did today?' If you don't even have to say who 'he' is, you already lost, because 'he' is already living too rent-free in your head."

Seth McFarlane has joked about other adult cartoons over the years, but the Family Guy creator heaped praise on South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone in an interview that was released after they fearlessly mocked Donald Trump on the season 27 premiere.

"I would never trade our animation team for anything on Family Guy, but their production cycle of, what is it, like, two weeks? It's kind of amazing," McFarlane said on The Ringer's "The Town" podcast.

South Park is known for its fast turnaround and cultural commentary. Parker and Stone typically write and produce new episodes in just six day.

"It's pretty incredible. … Any show that lasts that long is pretty astounding," McFarlane said. "Our shows take about 10 months to a year to produce each episode, so we have to really kind of guess what the world is going to look like, which obviously gets harder and harder."

In the past, Parker and McFarlane have publicly slighted each other.

"I just want to say for the record right now, we've seen Family Guy. … We do hate it," Parker previously said, according to TheWrap. McFarlane later told Rolling Stone that he didn't know where the "venom" came from.

"It'd be interesting to know where it comes from because I don't know them," McFarlane once told Howard Stern.

While the animosity between the television creators seems to have cooled, the creators of South Park are now facing "venom" from the White House, which publicly criticized the show shortly after the new season debuted.

"The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offense' content, but suddenly they are praising the show," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement. "Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows."

"This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," the statement continued. "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak."

Sarah Jessica Parker bid an emotional farewell to Carrie Bradshaw.

Following showrunner Michael Patrick King's announcement that the S** and the City spinoff series And Just Like That… is coming to an end, the actress took to Instagram to share a heartfelt poem about playing the iconic character since 1998.

"She has made the hardest, worst and best decisions. Traveled near and far for the new, the vintage, friends and love. Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City," Parker wrote of her alter-ego while captioning a slew of images from both the original show and the reboot.

"Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends," the 60-year-old remarked of the characters portrayed by Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis. "What great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and LTW (Nicole Ari Parker), most divine new connections."

"Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore, the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all," she continued.

"MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us. I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all," Parker concluded the emotional update.

In a message to fans shared on Instagram, King dropped the bomb that the franchise will be concluding after the current season of And Just Like That…, which debuted in 2021.

"And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the S** and the City universe is coming to an end," the executive producer wrote. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… Season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from ten episodes to 12. It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years."

The last two episodes will launch on HBO Max at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT on August 7 and August 14.

Megyn Kelly has tapped Donald Trump's former White House communications director Hope Hicks to serve as the Chief Operating Officer at her independent media company, Devil May Care Media.

"Hope Hicks is exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me — strong, smart, strategic and the embodiment of class and poise," Kelly told the New York Post.

"She's at the top of a growing media conglomerate and there's no limit to where she can take it; my best-in-the-business staff and I are thrilled to have her on board," she added.

After Kelly left her television career, she found success with her podcast "The Megyn Kelly Show," but the commentator is now expanding her business to include a roster of talent. While Kelly hosts "The Megyn Kelly Show" and "AM Update with Megyn Kelly," her media empire will continue to grow.

Before Kelly hired her, Hicks had been running her own media consulting firm after leaving the first Trump administration. She served as the press secretary for the president's 2016 presidential campaign and was a communications director for Trump from 2017 to 2018.

"I am incredibly humbled and thrilled to be joining Megyn and her team in continuing to build what is undoubtedly a flourishing business," she said.

The Smithsonian National Museum made changes to its impeachment exhibit.

The Washington, D.C., establishment removed a "temporary label" featuring Donald Trump's name in their section dedicated to presidential condemnation that's been in place since September 2021.

The exhibit now runs up to 2008 and includes a note reading, "Only three presidents have seriously faced removal." Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Trump have all been formally impeached during their time in office.

The update comes months after the Republican leader's White House ordered the museum to remove anything related to "anti-American ideology" from the facility.

Despite Trump's demands, the museum is claiming the change is only due to other updates being made to the exhibit. "In reviewing our legacy content recently, it became clear that the 'Limits of Presidential Power' section in The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden exhibition needed to be addressed," they said in a statement.

"The section of this exhibition covers Congress, The Supreme Court, Impeachment and Public Opinion. Because the other topics in this section had not been updated since 2008, the decision was made to restore the Impeachment case back to its 2008 appearance," the establishment noted.

The Smithsonian confirmed that once the alterations are done, "a future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments."

Trump was impeached twice during his first term: first in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, then in 2021 following the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack when he was accused of inciting an insurrection. The Senate acquitted him in both trials.

Sydney Sweeney just can't avoid controversy. The Euphoria star is facing backlash over her political affiliation after she was accused of promoting white supremacy in a recent American Eagle ad campaign.

American Eagle used wordplay to celebrate the Emmy nominee's "great jeans" and "great genes," but critics were quick to point out that highlighting a thin white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes as the physical ideal is a dog whistle for eugenics.

There has been curiosity surrounding Sweeney's political beliefs since her family wore "Make America Great Again"-inspired hats reading "Make Sixty Great Again" during her mother's 60th birthday party in 2022. After fans accused her of supporting Donald Trump, Sweeney took to X to stress that her mom's birthday party was "an innocent celebration" that "turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention."

You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions. Much love to everyone ♥️ and Happy Birthday Mom!

However, critics might've been right about their initial analysis, as The Guardian reported on Aug. 3 that the actress registered as a Republican in the state of Florida months before the 2024 presidential election. While Voter Information Lookup can't specify how someone ultimately voted, her association with the Republican Party was enough for some fans to turn on her.

Finding out that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican is like learning your favorite baseball player thinks Trump is cool: you mean this white person from a conservative family who didn't graduate college has the same politics as most white people who didn't graduate college?!?

"Finding out that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican is like learning your favorite baseball player thinks Trump is cool: you mean this white person from a conservative family who didn't graduate college has the same politics as most white people who didn't graduate college?!?" one person wrote on X.

"Let the record show I am really not shocked Sydney Sweeney is a Republican," another joked. "I'm shocked she's an active Republican because that face looks like it's never seen a ballot."

While people on the left rushed to mock Sweeney, Trump and the Republicans quickly came to the blonde's defense.

"Does nobody else think that Sydney Sweeney's address being doxxed on her voter registration for being a Republican feels like voter intimidation? Can't even be proud of your jeans in 2025," one user pointed out.

Trump, meanwhile, wrote on Truth Social, "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. Go get 'em Sydney."

The popular 2006 romantic comedy The Holiday is getting a reboot, according to TheWrap. AppleTV+ is reportedly developing a television adaptation of the 2006 Nancy Meyers' flick.

After word got out, Meyers admitted she was unaware of the project. "News to me. Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw," Meyers told followers on Instagram. While Meyers won't be affiliated with the show, Sweetpea writer Krissie Ducker has been tapped to adapt the film into a limited series, while Catastrophe's Rob Delaney has joined as a consultant.

While the show isn't an exact copy of The Holiday, it will follow the plot of a single American woman and a Brit swapping homes for the holiday season. They both end up finding love, romance and more during their international stays. The Holiday — which starred Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black — found commercial success when it was released.

Delaney and Ducker have a collaborative history, as the latter was a writer's assistant on Ducker's Catastrophe.

If Nancy Meyers isn't involved I'm protesting Apple

(Also why are we doing this???)

Fans took to social media to fume about the upcoming series. "If Nancy Meyers isn't involved, I'm protesting Apple (Also, why are we doing this???)," one user said on X.

"They didn't even tell [her] they were doing it, she found out on Instagram," another noted after seeing Meyers' post.

"Terrific movie," someone else shared. "Doesn't really need more…"
