ABC News Suspends Correspondent Terry Moran Over Post Calling Trump Administration Official a 'World-Class Hater'
ABC News has suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran after the network veteran called Trump administration deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller a 'world-class hater.' Moran posted on X late Saturday night and deleted it not long after. More from The Hollywood Reporter Late Night Erupts With Schadenfreude Over Donald Trump's Feud With Elon Musk: "World War Douche" The Twilight of Evening News: Anchor Swaps, Trust Gaps and a Looming AI Threat Seth Meyers on Finding Joy (and Comedy) in Trump's Second Term 'ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,' an ABC News spokesperson tells The Hollywood Reporter. 'The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation.' Moran has been with ABC News since 1997, covering events like 9/11 the Iraq war and multiple presidential elections. He even interviewed President Trump in the Oval Office just over a month ago. But after his post, White House officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, ripped into the journalist for his take (Leavitt called it 'unhinged and unacceptable') and demanded that ABC News take action. 'The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,' Moran wrote in his since-deleted post. 'Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment.'

Ways to save on your wedding
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — June is the traditional month for weddings, but no matter when you've set the date, one thing is for sure: getting to the big day takes a lot of planning. And a lot of money. According to the average wedding costs $33,900. That's up from $28,000 pre-pandemic. If you're going to spend the money, you should get the most for it. Here are some affordable ways to keep your wedding costs manageable. The reception: Many couples are opting to have their ceremony on a weekday to keep wedding costs down. They're also staying away from romantic holidays like Valentine's Day, a time when vendors may increase prices. Wedding planners advise looking for a venue that offers package deals (venue, catering, etc.). And always try to negotiate a price. The decor: Do you really need that ice sculpture in the shape of a swan? If the answer is yes, by all means get one. But if you're on a tight budget, think about renting flowers or greenery. Framed pictures of the bride, groom and their family members are a nice touch too. The flowers: Consider renting flower arrangements and greenery for the church ceremony. Many churches have more than one wedding on the same day. You could contact the other brides and see if you can either keep their flowers for your wedding (and, of course, compensating them!) or you could offer your flowers (at a nice price) to the bride whose wedding is after yours. If that's not possible, think about using the flower arrangements from your ceremony at the reception too. (Be sure to ask someone to handle transporting them for you.) The guests: Again, do you really need your cousin's best friend's sister's babysitter at your wedding? Be judicious. Try this test: if you close your eyes to imagine your wedding and don't see the person's face you're trying to decide on, move them to a backup list. You can always add them back in if your budget allows. The menu: If you want a formal dinner, that's wonderful. If you can't afford it, there are many classy alternatives. Check out your favorite restaurant's catering menu. Many times their cost includes set up and clean up. (Of course, check with your venue first. Many have an existing list of caterers they will only work with.) And consider a buffet. Not only can it be more affordable, but it also ensures your guests will mingle and not just talk to the people at their table. The bar: Everyone wants to toast the bride and groom! But if a fully stocked bar and big cocktail selection aren't a priority for the happy couple, consider sticking to wine and beer only. For variety, you could offer one or two signature cocktails. The cake: Your wedding cake can be extravagant or it can be understated. Either way, your it can be a showpiece without breaking the bank. Many couples choose a smaller cake to cut for pictures and then serve sheet cake slices or cupcakes to the guests. One sure way to keep the cake cost down is to opt for buttercream frosting instead of fondant. It's your special day. You don't have to go broke to have the wedding of your dreams.

33 Of The Best Summer Products You've Seen In A While
A Ninja Slushi maker so you can ~slushify~ any drink you could possibly want. Ever wondered what your lemonade would taste like as a slushee? Well, now you can find out! Or whip up some delicious frozen margs. Orrr stick to the classics and make an at-home Coke Icee. The world is your oyster (...or slurpee?). Promising review: "The Ninja Slushi is an absolute gem for anyone who loves frozen drinks! It's incredibly easy to use—just pour in your favorite soda, juice, or cocktail mix, pick a preset, and in under an hour, you've got a perfectly slushy treat. I made a cherry cola slush that tasted just like a 7-Eleven Slurpee, and the texture was spot-on. The machine is quiet, easy to clean with its rinse cycle and dishwasher-safe parts, and the 88-oz capacity is great for sharing. It's a bit bulky, but the fun and delicious drinks make it worth the counter space. Highly recommend for summer parties or daily treats." —RajGet it from Amazon for $349.99. A reusable, family-friendly sand eraser filled with a talc-free and reef-friendly powder that'll help remove the sand that sticks to every inch of your little one (and you). Keep this on hand for the beach or even for after an afternoon of playing in the sandbox at your local park. An inflatable beach pillow so you can upgrade your perfect afternoon nap by the ocean with a comfortable place to rest your head instead of making a makeshift pillow out of a pile of sand. They're designed to stay put even when it's windy *and* there's a spot for you to put a cooling pack when you wanna catch some ZZZs without pouring sweat. An umbrella tray table to give you a dry, sand-free spot to keep all the essentials — snacks, sunscreen, phones, and goggles. And they're always at arm's reach, so you don't have to dig into your never-ending, Mary Poppins–seeming bag. A set of spicy margarita instant cocktail tea bags so you can have your fave cocktail without needing to buy a whole bar's worth of ingredients to make it. This couldn't be easier — just add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and drop in the teabag. One minute later, BOOM, your delicious drink is ready. A waterproof disposable camera, since apparently digital cameras are trending again, so obviously you have to bring nostalgic vibes to the beach and ocean. Now you can capture proof of that adorable sea turtle you saw instead of just telling people and hoping they believe you. A laptop tent because let's be honest, how much work are you actually accomplishing while you sit inside staring longingly at your chair outside that's directly in the sun. Now you can soak it all up without risking getting fired cause you're still working!! Even Hannah Montana would be jealous of you getting the best of both worlds. A four-pack of towel bands for a solution that'll keep your towels down *and* won't take up a huge chunk of your (limited) suitcase. It's basically an oversized rubber band designed to keep your towel from flying off your chair, aaaand it can help you quickly identify your seat from a sea of hundreds of towels that are all exactly the same. Some vinyl picnic table and bench covers that are perfect for your lunch in the park when you do not wanna sit on the ground but the tables around are… not exactly… clean. These will protect you from the last group's leftover mess and ensure you aren't adding to the problem for whoever comes next. Or you can stick 'em on the table in your backyard to make it a little extra cutie while also protecting you from getting a splinter in your booty. A reusable XL gel ice pack to create the ~ultimate~ cooling experience. Just set it on top of you and it'll stay cold for up to 28 minutes while contouring to your body to give you some sweet, sweet relief from the heat that seems to be never-ending. A weighted headrest so your aesthetic (but mildly uncomfortable) pool chairs can get an upgrade that'll make you wanna sit in them for hours. You just have to hang this over the top and the weighted back keeps it from falling down *and* allows for easy adjustment so it fits perfectly for each person. A thermal phone case to help keep your phone safe from overheating so you don't get back to your beach chair to check your texts only to see that annoying "phone must cool down" message that blocks you from doing anything for at least 10 minutes. A pack of underarm shields designed to protect your pits from the dreaded wet stains (…and smells). Just stick the adhesive onto your shirt and you're all set to feel dry alllll day long! A pre-swim hair cream that can help protect your hair from the damaging chlorine while you're swimming laps or playing mermaids. This stuff will help prevent your strands from getting dry and brittle and can save anyone with blonde locks from the dreaded greenish tint that sometimes makes an appearance in the summer. An inflatable lounger to absolutely upgrade sunbathing into a luxurious experience fit for royalty. Lay down flat and grab some shut eye, or sit on it like a couch with your friends while you debrief from the day. A foldable baby bath chair that one TikToker hacked to turn into the perfect beach lounging spot. Since it's made for a bath it is the perfect option for setting your kiddo in a little pool of water to help them cool off, or just to give them a comfy spot to rest in the shade. And it folds up flat so you can easily take it to and from the beach. A cut-to-size aloe wrap because as hard as you try, you miiiight still end up with a sunburn that feels like your skin is on fire, and this will be your new BFF. The sigh you're about to release when this cooling patch touches your bright red skin is gonna be next level. A portable lock box that can easily secure to beach chairs or tables so you can stash your phone and wallet while you go jump in the waves. Now, you can enjoy beach time as a family instead of having to leave someone at the chairs to guard your stuff. The Noggle, which is an ingenious way to make sure kiddos in the backseat (especially if they're rear-facing) can get some much-needed AC because apparently no car makers really thought about that when deciding where to set up the fans?! A clip-on cupholder you can attach to your beach chair, boat, or poolside table to make sure you always have a convenient place to rest your drink so you don't risk spilling your precious frozen daiquiri. An adjustable folding rattan chair perfect for lounging on the side of the pool, so you can be comfy while still keeping your feet in the water because it is HOT 🥵 and there's no way you're lasting outside for more than 10 minutes if you aren't at least partially in the pool. The backrest can be adjusted to four levels to make sure you're always comfy as heck. A Shibumi windblown shade that'll keep you protected from the sun's scorching rays. Plus, it packs down into a super small and convenient case so you can easily pack and carry it. Some goggles with a click-open clasp and mirrored lenses, because it's 2025, and someone finally invented a version that doesn't fog up or pull your hair out when you take 'em off. Gone are the days of fighting your kiddo to get out of the pool just to have to wrestle their goggles off, yanking their hair in the process, and making an already grumpy kid grumpier. Those wails will never be heard again. Or a pair of Frogglez that have fully redesigned the goggle game. Like, seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make the strap a piece of plastic that gets wrapped around your hair and then rips HUGE clumps out when you take them off?! These are made with a neoprene strap and have adjustable Velcro so they can actually fit each kiddo's head comfortably. A BrüMate hard cooler so much more advanced than a traditional cooler, you'll wonder why you ever had the version that's just an empty vessel. This thing has a built-in tap to dispense beverages, a bottle opener in the lid, a dry rack to keep snacks cold but off the ice, wheels, a handle, secure latches, AND it can hold 48 12-oz cans. To make it even better, ice can last inside for *SEVEN* days. Or a smaller Stanley cooler that doubles as a drink dispenser, holds two gallons, and will keep your fave beverages chilled for 13 hours or iced for up to two days. You don't have to worry about any spilling because the top latches securely. Just imagine how cute it would be to fill your emotional support Stanley cup with this cutie cooler. 😍 An ice pop holder with a lil' cup to catch all the drips from running down your little one's arms and a built-in straw to give them an easy way to slurp all the juices so none of the deliciousness goes to waste. A handheld watermelon slicer so you can have delicious, even slices of your fave summer fruit in seconds rather than risking all your fingers trying to cut it with a traditional knife. Beauty Pops, which are basically portable facials in ice pop form. They're made from a blend of turmeric, aloe, papaya, and banana to help de-puff and refresh your skin. And that cooling sensation will feel sooo nice when it's 90 degrees outside and you can't stop sweating. Just don't be tempted and take a bite... A cleverly designed retractable window sunshade because sometimes the summer vibe is just HOT and you need a way to survive getting back into your car that doesn't involve melting your booty on seats that feel like hot lava! A waterproof baby wrap so you can enjoy the pool without worrying about holding on to your kiddo for dear life. This is also great for anyone watching two little ones because you can be hands-free and ready to play with the older one. Now, if you have to have your baby attached to your body, it can at least be while you're cooling off in the pool instead of just having your two sticky, hot, and sweaty bodies smushed together. A Slammo game set if you're not a lay-on-the-beach-and-do-nothing-all-day kind of person. This volleyball-like game will keep the whole beach crew active. Let the games begin! Some mesh food covers to help protect the food you spent hours cooking from little buggers who always like to make an appearance when they smell BBQ sauce.
