"Congrats everyone!"MARVEL'S CHRIS EVANS DITCHED LOS ANGELES FOR HIS MENTAL HEALTHEvans, who is one of four children, has always been vocal about the importance of family, "In my own life, I have a deep connection with my family and the value of those bonds," he told Esquire in 2017.

"I remember in my late 20s having a real shift in how I felt on set, how I felt promoting films: a little more anxiety, a little more uncertainty.

And something inside me kept saying that I was getting further away that something about this industry wasnt healthy."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was angry over former President Biden donning a Trump 2024 hat during an event in September 2024, which quickly went viral on social media at the time, according to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book."What is he doing?" the former vice president asked her team in response to the video, according to the book. "This is completely unhelpful. And so unnecessary."A video of the former president donning a Trump 2024 hat went viral in September 2024. A video of Biden at the Shanksville Fire Station in Pennsylvania showed the president taking the Trump 2024 campaign hat from a Trump supporter and putting it on top of his own hat, in what the White House said at the time was a friendly gesture of unity.According to the book, "Original Sin: President Bidens Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," that was the last time Harris would do a public event with Biden prior to the election.BIDEN UNDERMINES HARRIS CLAIM THAT RON DESANTIS IS POLITICIZING HURRICANE RESPONSE: 'DOING A GREAT JOB'"But it was not the last time that Biden did something unhelpful," the authors wrote.The former president also called Trump supporters "garbage" during a campaign call for Harris."Donald Trump has no character. He doesnt give a damn about the Latino community," Biden said. "Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage."The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and its un-American," the former president said.CHARLAMAGNE CALLS BIDEN DONKEY OF THE DAY FOR WEARING MAGA HAT: YOU GOT TO KEEP JOE BIDEN IN THE BASEMENTCLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREHarris attempted to distance herself from the remarks."I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for," Harris said. "You heard my speech last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people, whether they support me or not."The book also revealed that the former president recorded several 2024 campaign videos that were ultimately deemed "unusable" due to his missteps.In one case, Bidens team sought to film a video for the campaign for ads on television in a high school gym where people could ask questions like they would at a town hall meeting."The campaign was trying to make it look like the president was out there taking off-the-cuff questions from voters in public," the book said. "But the event was closed to reporters, and the campaign had the full list of questions that people would ask."However, Biden had so much "trouble" getting through the questions that his team decided to scrap the footage. While some attributed challenges to poor lighting in the gym, the book said that others identified Biden as the real problem.Fox News' Diana Stancy contributed to this report.

One of Twitch's most popular streamers has been suspended from the platform for reading the manifesto of the suspect in the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers last week.Hasan Piker, a streamer with nearly 3 million Twitch streamers and 1.6 million YouTube subscribers, is known for broadcasting far-left content under the handle HasanAbi. In a May 23 YouTube video titled "What People Miss About The DC Israeli Embassy Shooting," Piker went through the manifesto of Elias Rodriguez word for word.Rodriguez was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and multiple firearm-related counts after Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night.In the video, Piker expressed a desire to "understand the mindset" of Rodriguez, who shouted "Free, free Palestine!" as he was arrested."The reason why I read this manifesto is oftentimes to understand the mindset of this person, especially when there are a lot of mainstream narratives that will immediately design an alternative scenario," Piker said in the video.'CHEERLEADING FOR TERRORISM': TWITCH STAR CALLED FOR NEW 9/11, DISMISSED HORROR OF OCT 7"I don't think that this person acted out on an antisemitic desire or is a f---ing Nazi or anything like that, but that is dangerous in a separate way," he continued. "The very fact that a person who is this legible, who has their s--t together enough to be able to write a f---ing, write prose such as this one, in the act of vengeance, in the acts of vigilante justice in his own mind, is meaningful in and of itself."Piker disputed claims that the shooter, who killed the victims outside an event held by the American Jewish Committee, was antisemitic despite the fact that Lischinsky was an Israeli Christian and Milgrim was an American Jew. The pair worked together and planned to marry."The idea that this is a neo-Nazi that came after Jewish people, deliberately looking for Jews to kill, like all of that stuff, is incorrect," Piker said. "This is not a value judgment on the actions of the shooter, but it's obvious that this was a person that was brain-broken by a lot of the realities that are unfolding in Gaza."In a post on X, Piker announced the suspension and shared an email from Twitch saying he violated a rule about the improper handling of terrorist propaganda content."Based on a review of your activity or content, we have issued a global suspension on your account," the Twitch email said. "As a result, your access to Twitch services is temporarily restricted. Please be aware that repeated violations may lead to more serious actions on your account, including longer temporary suspensions or permanent suspension."In response, Piker claimed that Twitch's terms of service "dictates a suspension for even critical examination of the manifesto."TIM WALZ AND AOC PLAY MADDEN ON TWITCH IN ATTEMPT TO APPEAL TO YOUNG MALE VOTERS"i believe this is a bad policy for news and press freedom," Piker's post read. "ill take the suspension, but hope twitch changes this policy in the future."Piker has been known for creating extremist content in the past. He has regularly broadcast propaganda from the Houthis, an Iranian-backed group in Yemen that has been designated by the U.S. as a terrorist group, and claimed that "America deserved 9/11" during a 2019 stream.In March, Piker was temporarily suspended from Twitch after making a comment about murdering Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla."They're not tackling providers; they're not actually going after false billing. They are trying to cut recipients. [Fraud] is not happening at the point of recipient. If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott," Piker said.The political commentator later walked back the statements, telling his social media followers that he was "sorry" over the incident."I'll choose my words carefully next time and say, 'if Mike Johnson cares abt (sic) medicare fraud (since he wants to cut 800m from Medicaid/Medicare) he'd call for MAX PUNISHMENT for current fl gop senator/former gov Rick Scott- who has done the most Medicare fraud in us history!'"

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell blamed a Christian rally and infiltrating "anarchists" for violence breaking out at a counter-protest on Saturday.The Seattle Police Department reported 23 people were arrested at Cal Anderson Park during MayDayUSAs "Dont Mess With Our Kids" rally and a pro-LGBTQ counter-protest.

He also suggested an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the approval of MayDayUSAs initial event."While there are broad First Amendment requirements around permitting events under free speech protections, I am directing the Parks Department to review all of the circumstances of this application to understand whether there were legal location alternatives or other adjustments that could have been pursued," the statement read.
