The Trump campaign continues to backtrack after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Donald Trump’s New York City rally Sunday. “It’s America and Americans love comedy and it’s an expression of First Amendment rights,” campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on NewsNation Monday morning. “But look, it was a joke that was done in poor taste. And obviously the joke by this comedian does not reflect the views of President Trump or our campaign—and the crowd last night when you were in the room understood that.” Leavitt went on to claim the crowd at Madison Square Garden was “one of the most diverse crowds President Trump has ever seen,” and that attendees “care more about the truth that President Trump shared on that stage than one flat joke from a comedian.” The denouncement comes after multiple Republicans spoke out against Hinchcliffe’s comments—while Hinchliffe defended his set on X after the rally. “These people have no sense of humor,” he said of Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who livestreamed their reactions to the rally.

Jon Stewart has signed on to keep hosting The Daily Show on Monday nights through December 2025, Comedy Central has announced. The comedian, who served as the show’s nightly host for 16 years, from 1999 to 2015, began hosting once a week earlier this year and was initially expected to stay on only through the 2024 election. “I’ve truly enjoyed being back working with the incredible team at The Daily Show and Comedy Central. I was really hoping they’d allow me to do every other Monday, but I’ll just have to suck it up…,” Stewart said in an official statement. Instead of hiring a new permanent host for the “fake news” program, Comedy Central will continue to rotate Daily Show correspondents as hosts Tuesday through Thursday night. Stewart is set to interview Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro tonight, Monday, Oct. 28 and will helm a live hour-long Election Night special on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has warned his 10.5 million Instagram followers to be on the lookout for 22 tons of award-winning artisanal cheddar cheese that was stolen as part of an elaborate scam. Con artists posing as legitimate French wholesale distributors “bought” more than 950 wheels of cloth-wrapped cheese from London-based Neal’s Yard Dairy, the company said in a statement on Instagram. By the time the retailer realized the purchase was a fraud, about $390,000 worth of cheese was gone—likely to be sold in Russia or the Middle East, the BBC reported. London’s Metropolitan Police are working with international law enforcement to investigate the theft. Oliver posted a video to Instagram explaining that only a handful of cheese makers produce authentic cheddar, which is named for the village in southwest England where it originated. The stolen cheeses were some of the “best cheddar in the world,” he said in the video, adding, “If anybody hears anything about lorry loads of very posh cheese,” it’s probably the thieves. Oliver further urged buyers to be suspicious of large amounts of premium cheddar going for cheap. “If the deal seems too gouda be true, it probably is!” he wrote. “Let’s find these cheese stealers.”

Fans of Taylor Swift have commended the pop superstar for so deftly dealing with a stage malfunction during one of her recent performances. Under the mantle of her ongoing Eras Tour, Swift was belting out her hit “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me“ at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Sunday night when a mobile platform, affectionately known among fans as the ”Tayoomba," suddenly jammed. Unfazed by the hitch, she promptly climbed down and danced off along the catwalk with her backers in tow. “The way she killed that, I wouldn’t mind if it breaks again,” as one person wrote online. “Taylor Swift is such a seasoned professional.”

Most updates improve the phone experience. Sometimes, that means adding something fun or making a feature easier to use. The exception to this rule lies with the keyboard. Not since T9 has typing technology improved a thing. Fortunately, Clicks is changing that with its keyboard phone case. It’s designed with tactile buttons that help you type easily and avoid typos. The physical keyboard also removes the digital one from the lower half of your screen, letting you type longer emails without returning them to your computer.

However, the best feature of this keyboard phone case is the personalized shortcuts that launch frequently used apps or messages with your favorite contacts. Let’s face it: the group chat is tired of the sloppy texts. Digital keyboards are not user-friendly, and they take up a large portion of your screen. It’s nicer when you can see the keyboard light up and actually feel the buttons on your thumbs. Clicks is now compatible with Android and the iPhone 16. So, our verdict is out—if it clicks, don’t fix it.

Anna Kendrick revealed the worst interaction she had with a director while filming. In an interview with “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the actress called out one filmmaker for publicly embarrassing her and mocking her improv skills on set in front of dozens of extras. “I remember a director once in a room full of 100 extras or something being like, ‘Hey, on this next one just try something. Just make something up. Just improv something,’” she said. “And I did it and then the director called cut and came over and, once again in front of 100 extras, was like, ‘Oof, let’s go back to the script!’” The film star described the director’s behavior as feeling like a “very specific power move thing to embarrass me, to gain dominance.” Despite the unnamed filmmaker’s “icky” comment, the scene she improved made it into the featured trailer. “So f--- you!” she quipped. The actress is now a director herself, having recently released her directorial debut with the film Woman of the Hour.

Steve Bannon, alleged insurrectionist and dark lord of the alt-right, is holding lessons in government and politics to help his fellow inmates “reintegrate into today’s world” once they’re released from prison. Rolling Stone has an exclusive dispatch from one of Bannon’s classes at the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connecticut, where in case you’d forgotten, he’s currently serving a four month term for contempt of court concerning his role in efforts to literally overthrow the United States government in January 2021. Among his pearls of wisdom is apparently the small fact that “everything you need to know about business or politics can be learned from Godfather I and Godfather II‚” as well as his claim that Taylor Swift is not a pop star, but rather the leader of a dangerous liberal cult posing a serious threat to the electoral prospects of the Republican party’s increasingly neo-fascist leader. News of Bannon’s activities behind bars come as he is set to be sprung from prison Tuesday.

A probe is underway after a woman spent the night in a maximum-security prison in Scotland when police kept her there for having supposedly “masculine features.” Police Scotland told The Independent it was investigating how the woman—who a spokesperson said was taken into custody with “incomplete information about their gender”—was remanded in HMP Perth instead of the country’s women’s prison after she appeared in court on Oct. 21. “We are reviewing our custody procedure to ensure this does not happen again,” the spokesperson added. “This is a complete embarrassment for everyone involved,” a source told The Telegraph. “Taking a female to a male prison and leaving her there is a shocker.” The paper reported that, even after authorities discovered they had brought the woman to the wrong facility, she was forced to stay overnight in the men’s prison because it was too late to facilitate a transfer. She was kept in segregation before being moved the next day. “An assumption was made, based on someone’s appearance and not much else,” the source told The Telegraph.

Julia Roberts is urging partners of male Trumpers to vote for Kamala Harris, even if they feel the need to keep it secret from their spouses. In a YouTube video for the progressive evangelical group Vote Common Good, the Pretty Woman star narrates over a scene with two women going into a ballot booth. One of them is clearly shown voting for Kamala Harris for president. “In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know,” says Roberts. As the women leave after voting, a man appearing to be a husband asks one of them: “Did you make the right choice?” His wife, wearing a stars and stripes cap, answers: “Sure did, honey,” before sharing a knowing smile with her female friend. “Remember,” adds Roberts, “what happens in the booth, stays in the booth.” Vote Common Good says they are working during the election race to help Evangelical voters find an “exit ramp” from voting Republican.

A 39-year-old ultra-runner who was missing for a month in a national park in Washington state just barely survived by eating mushrooms and “nasty” berries, he told People magazine. On July 31, Robert Schock set off from a trailhead in North Cascades National Park with his dog Freddy on what was supposed to be a 20-mile run. He was carrying a small backpack with a dog pan but wasn’t even wearing a T-shirt because he planned to go home later that day, he told the magazine. But he hadn’t been to the park in a few years, and wildfires had rerouted the trails and altered the terrain. With no cell phone service and only an old trail map to follow, he got lost and told Freddy to find his way home. Several days later, Freddy was found on a trail, and sheriff’s deputies located Schock’s car, but Schock remained missing. On Aug. 30, he was “close to death” and so weak he didn’t think he would survive the night. He decided to scream for help “one last time.” Maintenance workers on a nearby trail heard his cries and rescued him. “Never would I have dreamt that’s the experience I was headed towards when I was going out for a run,” Schock told People. “Never did I dream that this kind of survival could even be possible.”

A new statue of basketball legend Dwyane Wade has left fans unimpressed with its likeness to the three-time NBA champion. On Sunday, the Miami Heat unveiled the statue outside the Kaseya Center in honor of the “greatest player” in team history, NBC News reported. It was meant to immortalize an iconic moment in March 2009 when Wade hit a three-point shot at the buzzer at the end of double overtime, carrying the Heat to victory against the Chicago Bulls, the Miami Herald reported. Afterward, the shooting guard jumped on the scorer‘s table and yelled, “This is my house!” Wade couldn’t stop smiling when the statue was revealed, joking, “Who is that guy?” But one user wrote on X, “We’re all wondering the same thing man lol.” Another said, “Miami Heat did Dwyane Wade dirty,” and compared the statue to a photo of actor Laurence Fishburne. But Wade, who became the Heat’s all-time leading scorer during 14 seasons with Miami, didn’t seem to mind whether the statue resembled him. His first thought when he saw the statue was, “That’s beautiful,” he told reporters gathered at the unveiling. “I think it’s one of the best statues that’s been created because of what is represents for us and for me.”
