Meanwhile, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that Trump is focused like a laser on healthcare, but Kimmel said it’s more like Trump’s a cat playing with a laser pointer jumping all over the place.

“I guarantee he doesn’t know anything about this Graham/Cassidy bill,” Kimmel said. “He doesn’t know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. He barely knows the difference between Melania and Ivanka.”

Finally, Kimmel tackled the attacks he’s been getting personally for coming out against this bill.

“A lot of people have been saying I’m not qualified to talk about this and that is true, I’m not qualified to talk about this,” he continued. “But I think those people forget, Bill Cassidy named this test after me. Am I supposed to just be quiet about that?”

Special counsel Robert Mueller has sought phone records concerning the statement written aboard Air Force One defending a meeting between Trump campaign officials and Russians at Trump Tower last year that was set up by Donald Trump Jr., according to two people familiar with the investigation.

Mueller has also asked the White House for documents and emails connected to a May 3 press briefing where Sean Spicer said the president had confidence in James Comey as FBI director, these people said. The request seeks to determine what White House officials – particularly Spicer – knew about the president’s plans to fire Comey in the days before it happened, according to one of the people familiar with it.

The New York Times reported Wednesday night about the interest in Spicer's news conference.

Trump fired Comey on May 9. White House officials say the decision was made at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey the weekend after Spicer’s news briefing.

LOS ANGELES — Bernie Casey, a professional football player turned poet, painter and actor known for parts in films such as “Revenge of the Nerds” and “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka,” has died. He was 78.

Casey died Tuesday in Los Angeles after a brief illness, his talent agent Erin Connor said.

Born in West Virginia in 1939 and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Casey excelled in track and field and football and attended Bowling Green State University on an athletic scholarship.

He went on to play wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams before going back to his alma mater to get a master’s degree in fine arts.

'Shocked': Maine woman ordered by city to take down pro-Trump signs



Susan Reitman has hung two banners on her front gate: one that says "I love Trump" and another that says "He Won, Get over it." She received a notice from the city’s code enforcement office a few days ago, asking her to take them down. "I was shocked," she said. "This is my freedom of speech. People have a right to voice their opinion."

Assistant Code Officer Bill Butler said another Rockland resident complained about the signs' size. The city ordinance states residential signs can be no larger than 2 square feet. Reitman’s signs are a little larger than 3 feet by 2 feet. "They’re well over the limit," said Butler.

He said residents need to apply for permits to display signs like that. They are able to follow an appeals process, if their permits are denied. Reitman said she wasn’t aware of the ordinance, and feels it should be changed to allow for this kind of political speech. She has until Friday to remove the banners, or else face a fine between $100-$1,000 a day.

Reitman has no plans to pay fines or remove signs. "If I have to sit in jail for the rest of eternity, that’s my choice," she said. "I guess I’m being stubborn ... but I’m not going to back down from what I believe."

Florida anti-porn GOP lawmaker Ross Spano ‘liked’ porno on Twitter

Texas Senator Ted Cruz does not seem to be the only ‘horny’ Republican searching through Twitter on those lonely, late nights. Florida Representative and anti-porn GOP lawmaker Ross Spano “favorited” a pornographic video on Twitter, The Orlando Weekly reported.

After searching through his Twitter feed of Bible verses and Florida State University football clips, The Orlando Weekly found that Spano’s account had “favorited” a tweet back on January 8 from the "Goddess Lesbian" Twitter account, which features a video clip from adult entertainment company Reality Kings.

The 17-second clip shows two women pleasuring one another and having sexual intercourse, among other things.

Spano’s recently filed bill, HR 157, takes a very harsh stance on adult content, despite liking the video nine months ago. In the bill, Spano claims pornography contributes to the hyper-sexualization of children and teens because it “serves as their main source education regarding human sexuality.”

Jimmy Kimmel shreds Fox host Brian Kilmeade as ‘phony little creep’ over health care comments





The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host called the bill’s co-sponsor, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a liar Tuesday night and then ripped Kilmeade for shrugging him off as the Hollywood elite.

“The reason I found this comment to be particularly annoying is because this is a guy, Brian Kilmeade, who whenever I see him kisses my ass like a little boy meeting Batman,” Kimmel said. “Oh, he’s such a fan.”

He said Kilmeade usually seeks his approval, and explained why the Fox News host was a hypocrite.

“He follows me on Twitter, he asks me to write a blurb for his book, which I did,” Kimmel said. “He calls my agent looking for projects. He’s dying to be a member of the Hollywood elite. The only reason he’s not a member of the Hollywood elite is because nobody will hire him to be one, and the reason I’m talking about this is because my son had an open heart surgery, has to have two more, and I learned there are kids with no insurance in the same situation. I don’t get anything out of this, Brian, you phony little creep. Oh, I’ll pound you when I see you.”

During a luncheon at the United Nations on Wednesday, President Donald Trump reportedly told African leaders that he has “so many friends going to your countries trying to get rich.”

“Africa has tremendous business potential,” the president said.

He later referred to the non-existent country of “Nambia” when discussing health crises on the continent. It is unclear if Trump was referring to Namibia or Zambia. There is no country called Nambia.
