Glaser's Boyfriend Has One Rule When It Comes to Her Standup Act (Exclusive)

Nikki Glaser's Boyfriend Has One Rule When It Comes to Her Standup Act (Exclusive)
Emma McIntyre/Getty Nikki Glaser revealed the one rule her boyfriend Chris Covy has when it comes to her standup act The comedian told PEOPLE, "He's given me permission. He said, 'You can talk about anything on stage about me as long as it's funny" The pair have been together off and on for 10 years Nikki Glaseroften pokes fun at her boyfriend,Chris Convy, and their relationship in her standup acts, and he's completely fine with it as long as the jokes work. "The hardest part is talking about your relationship on stage or injecting jokes where you're upset about something, and you bring it to the stage before you bring it to him. So maybe that's where tension arises, but not really anymore," Glaser, 41, told PEOPLE at theAmerican Music Awardson May 26. Kevin Mazur/Getty It's also next to impossible for Convy to miss what his girlfriend says about him on stage, as he works as Glaser's creative producer. "My boyfriend's so cool," she beamed. "He's given me permission. He said, 'You can talk about anything on stage about me as long as it's funny. The second it isn't, if it bombs, then we have an issue. If you're just venting up there just to get it off your chest and embarrass me, not good, but if you're up there and you're making a solid joke, you can do whatever you want.' " Convy's mentality, the comedian said, is "such a gift as a performer." Glaser and Convy, whom she met when he produced the MTV talk seriesNikki & Sara Live, have been together off and on for 10 years. "He's a creative genius, and he's a TV producer for years and years. My glow up within the industry, a big percentage of that is due to him being like, let's focus and let's make these things look better than they could ever look," she said. "We have a really good working relationship, actually." Michael S. Schwartz/Getty Naturally, Convy helped Glaser during her well-received Golden Globes hosting role earlier this year. She's already been booked to host next year's award show, too. "I have to raise the bar a little bit. So that's a challenge, but I'm so excited. It's the best gig I've ever had," she said, adding that she'd love to host multiple times. "The more comfortable the audience gets with you, the more fun you can have. So I'm excited this year to step out there and not have everyone be terrified I'm going to roast them so hard. I think they know how hard I go now, and everyone will be accordingly prepped and not nervously hiding in their seats."

Robert Smith/Patrick McMullan via Getty While Convy has now given her the go-ahead to talk about their relationship, Glaser previously admitted that she and her boyfriend split in the past when she aired their dirty laundry on her podcast, instead of coming to him directly with her complaints about their relationship. "Not because I thought he won't hear them, but they would just came out naturally under the guise of 'it's comedy!'" she explained onThe Howard Stern Showin May 2024. "He eventually heard them and go I don't recognize who this person is." At the time, Glaser revealed she is working to change her ways after realizing how it made Convy feel. "He had every reason to break up with me because it was jarring to him because I was just lying all the time," she said. "He really got me to stop lying, I'm better at it, I'm not perfect at it because I still fear abandonment, so there's some issues in our relationship where I fear he's going to be mad at me."

blocks administration from revoking protected status for small subset of Venezuelans

Judge blocks administration from revoking protected status for small subset of Venezuelans
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An estimated 5,000 Venezuelans granted temporary protected status can continue to work and live in the U.S. despite a Supreme Court ruling revoking protections while their lawsuit against the Trump administration is pending. U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco ruled Friday that Venezuelans whose Temporary Protected Status was extended to October 2026 are not affected by the Supreme Court's order and are not eligible for deportation. The Supreme Court last month gave the go-ahead for the Republican administrationto strip TPSfrom an estimated 350,000 Venezuelans that would have expired in April. In doing so, the court put on holdChen's order blocking the administration fromrevoking protections granted under President Joe Biden. The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals. But they singled out applicants who had received work authorization and other paperwork with new expiration dates of Oct. 2, 2026. Chen said at a hearing Friday that the justices could have stayed silent as to that subset of people, but didn't. His court continues to hear the underlying claim that the revocations by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were unlawful. TPS allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife. President Donald Trumppromised on the campaign trail to deport millions of people, and in office has sought to dismantle Biden administration policies that expanded paths for migrants to live legally in the U.S.

citizen who joined Islamic State in Syria is sentenced to 10 years in prison

US citizen who joined Islamic State in Syria is sentenced to 10 years in prison
WASHINGTON (AP) — A naturalized U.S. citizen who pleaded guilty to receiving military training from the Islamic State group was sentenced Monday to 10 years in federal prison. Lirim Sylejmani, 49, engaged in at least one battle against U.S.-led forces after he entered Syria in 2015, according to prosecutors. U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington, D.C., imposed Sylejmani's prison sentence followed by a lifetime of supervised release. Sylejmani, who was born in Kosovo and moved to Chicago roughly 25 years ago, pleaded guilty last December to one count of receiving military training from a foreign terrorist organization. In November 2015, Sylejmani and his family flew to Turkey and then crossed the border into Syria, where he began training with other IS recruits, according to prosecutors. They said he was injured in a battle with Syrian forces in June 2016 and was captured with his family in Baghouz, Syria, in February 2019. "The conduct is far more than a single, impulsive act. He chose to jeopardize the safety of his family by bringing them to a war-torn country to join and take up arms for ISIS,"prosecutors wrote. Sylejmani's attorneys say he isn't a "committed jihadist" and doesn't espouse violence. "He is guilt ridden for his actions and the harm he has visited on his family, who remain detained in a refugee camp in Syria living under terrible conditions,"his lawyers wrote. "He wishes only to complete his time and find his wife and children, so he can live an average law-abiding life with them."

Romanian man pleads guilty to 'swatting' plot that targeted an ex-US president and lawmakers
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Romanian citizen pleaded guilty on Monday to engaging in a plot to use "swatting" calls and bomb threats to intimidate and threaten dozens of people with bogus police emergencies, including a former U.S. president and several members of Congress. Thomasz Szabo, 26, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 23 by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C. Szabo wasextradited from Romaniain November 2024. He was charged withNemanja Radovanovic, 21, of Serbia. Szabo pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of making bomb threats. The two men targeted roughly 100 people with"swatting"calls to instigate an aggressive response by police officers at the victims' homes, afederal indictmentalleges. A U.S. Secret Service agent's affidavit doesn't name the former U.S. president or any other officials identified as victims of the hoax calls. The two defendants are not explicitly charged in the indictment with threatening a former president, but one of the alleged victims is identified as a "former elected official from the executive branch" who was swatted on Jan. 9. 2024. Radovanovic falsely reported a killing and threatened to set off an explosion at that person's home, the indictment says. Szabo told Radovanovic that they should pick targets from both the Republican and Democratic parties because "we are not on any side," the indictment says. "This defendant led a dangerous swatting criminal conspiracy, deliberately threatening dozens of government officials with violent hoaxes and targeting our nation's security infrastructure from behind a screen overseas," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. Charges against Radovanovic are still pending. Online court records indicate that he hasn't made any court appearances in Washington yet.

Immigration official defends tactics against criticism of a heavy hand as arrests rise nationwide
BOSTON (AP) — The head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday defended his tactics against criticism that authorities are being too heavy-handed as they ramp up arrests towardPresident Donald Trump's promises of mass deportations. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said he was "deeply upset" by an ICE operation at a popular Italian restaurant just before the dinner rush on Friday. A chaotic showdown unfolded outside as customers and witnesses shouted, smoke filled the air, and agents wore heavy tactical gear to face an angry crowd. Todd Lyons, ICE's acting director, turned emotional when asked to explain why officials wear masks. He said some have received death threats and been harassed online. "I'm sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I'm not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don't like what immigration enforcement is," he said at a news conference in Boston to announce nearly 1,500 arrests in the region as part of a month-long "surge operation." Lyons was leaving the room when a reporter asked him about the masks. He returned to the podium. "Is that the issue here that we're just upset about the masks?" he asked. "Or is anyone upset about the fact that ICE officers' families were labeled terrorists?" Lyons may have been referring to comments by San Diego Councilman Sean Elo-Rivera, who called ICE officers "terrorists" after Friday's restaurant raid. "This isn't safety. It's state-sponsored terrorism," Elo-Rivera wrote on Instagram. The Department of Homeland Security reposted Elo-Rivera's message, saying that likening ICE to terrorists was "sickening." The councilman stuck by his comments on Monday. Other elected officials, such as Gloria and U.S. Rep. Scott Peters of San Diego, both Democrats, were more muted but also sharply critical of ICE and the Republican White House. "Federal actions like these are billed as a public safety measure, but it had the complete opposite effect. What we saw undermines trust and creates fear in our community," Gloria said. ICE said Monday that the operation at Buona Forchetta, an anchor of San Diego's trendy South Park neighborhood, resulted in four arrests of people in the U.S. illegally. Authorities executed criminal search warrants for illegal hiring and making false statements when the crowd "became unruly," prompting them to use flash-bang devices. "When gatherings like these are formed, it not only places law enforcement in danger but also the demonstrators/onlookers attempting to impede law enforcement activity," ICE said in a statement. The owners said they were closing their restaurants in Southern California for two days. "We wish we could find stronger words, but the truth is we are heartbroken," the owners said in a statement. "The traumatic incident involving a federal enforcement operation at our original and beloved South Park location has left a mark on all of us. A wound that is still raw, still echoing in our kitchens, our dining rooms, and our hearts." Lyons said in an interview on Fox & Friends Sunday that ICE was averaging about 1,600 arrests a day, a sharp increase from previous data that showed 78,155 arrests between Jan. 20 and May 19 — a daily average of 656. He said ICE can and will do more. Stephen Miller, the key architect of Trump's immigration policy, last week set a goal of 3,000 arrests a day and said the number could go higher. That pace would be a huge challenge with current funding. ICE housed an average of more than 46,000 detainees during the first half of May, already above its budgeted capacity. Lyons said operations like the surge in Massachusetts wouldn't be necessary if "sanctuary cities would change their policy." There's no legal definition forsanctuary city policies, but they generally limit cooperation by local law enforcement with federal immigration officers. Homeland Security published a list of more than 500 sanctuary jurisdictions butremoved it from its websiteafter criticism that it contained inaccuracies, even from its allies. Lyons stood near a poster board with mug shots of unnamedimmigrants. A full list of those arrested was not available, nor was information about the crimes specific individuals are accused of committing. Lyons called them "dangerous criminals" who are "terrorizing family, friends and our neighbors." State, local and federal authorities participated in a raid Saturday at a South Carolina nightclub that officials said was popular with drug dealers, resulting in the arrests of 66 people who were in the country illegally. Cardell Morant, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in South Carolina and North Carolina, said the 3 a.m. operations came during a "cartel after-party." Officials did not release additional details about the charges being faced by those who were arrested during the raid in Charleston County. ___ Rebecca Santana in Washington, Elliot Spagat in San Diego and Jeffrey Collins in Columbia, South Carolina, contributed.

Speaker Mike Johnson: People won't lose Medicaid 'unless they choose to'

House Speaker Mike Johnson: People won't lose Medicaid 'unless they choose to'
House SpeakerMike Johnson, R-Louisiana, said that "4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so" under PresidentDonald Trump's proposed tax bill that passed in the lower chamber in May. An estimatefrom the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill would cut $723 billion from federal Medicaid spending and reduce the number of insured people by 7.6 million. The bill implements new requirements for able-bodied adults without children to show that they've worked, volunteered, or attended an educational program for at least 80 hours per month. Some researchers argue that millions ofpeople eligible for Medicaid could lose coveragebecause they are unable to meet the bureaucratic requirements to prove they are disabled, working or going to school. Johnson defended the requirements in an interview withNBC News' "Meet the Press"on June 1, arguing that the bill would implement "common sense" requirements. "You're telling me that you're going to require the able-bodied, these young men, for example, to only work or volunteer in their community for 20 hours a week. And that's too cumbersome for them?" Johnson said "I'm not buying it. The American people are not buying it." He added that the requirements "should have been put in a long time ago." "The people who are complaining that these people are going to lose their coverage because they can't fulfill the paperwork, this is minor enforcement of this policy, and it follows common sense," he said. The bill will now bereviewed by the Senate, where it may undergo changes. Some Republican senators, like Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, have raised concerns about the depth of potential cuts to Medicaid. Democrats have argued that the legislation is cutting benefits for low-income Americans in order to deliveradditional tax breaks to the wealthy. Johnson's comments come as some Republican lawmakers face pushback in their home states and districts over the proposed cuts. Rep.Mike Flood, R-Nebraska, Rep.Ashley Hinson,R-Iowa, and Sen.Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, faced angry crowds during town halls that raised concerns about the bill's impact on Medicaid. Republican lawmakers hope to pass the legislation by July 4, leaving them only four weeks to approve it in the Senate, reconcile changes between the House and Senate versions, approve it again in the House, and send it to the president's desk. However, the real deadline is the end of July. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent haswarned lawmakersthat the U.S. will default on its debt in August if the debt ceiling is not raised. The bill also includes a $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY:Speaker Johnson defends Medicaid work requirements as 'commonsense'

Department could have an 'Office of Remigration': What is it?

State Department could have an 'Office of Remigration': What is it?
The Trump administration last week formally notified Congress of its plans for a sweeping reorganization of the State Department, which could include the establishment of an office focused on returning migrants living in the U.S. to their countries of origin. It is one of several overhauls spearheaded bySecretary of State Marco Rubioas he marches forward with a broad reorganization of the State Department, first announced in April. It would also include a cut to thousands of jobs, refocus the agency's human rights bureau on "Western values" and either restructure or eliminate 300 of the department's 734 bureaus and offices, according toReuters' review of the May 29 congressional notification. In astatementthe day of the notification's release to Congress, Rubio said the plan will result in a more "agile" State Department, which will scale back a department he said had grown in terms of bureaucracy and costs without delivering results. "The plan submitted to Congress was the result of thoughtful and deliberative work by senior department leadership," he said. "We have taken into account feedback from lawmakers, bureaus, and long-serving employees." Rubio didn't mention the Office of Remigration in his statement, and the office is not listed on a new chart on the department's website. However, reporting fromCNNandAxiossay there is a proposal within a more detailed notification for an "Office of Remigration," with both outlets independently reporting that it is described as a "hub for immigration issues and repatriation tracking." The proposed office would be one of three new "functional offices" formed from the existing Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, the outletsreported, all consolidated under a (Deputy Assistant Secretary of State) for Migration Matters. The three new offices are to "actively facilitate the voluntary return of migrants to their country of origin or legal status," according to the reporting. The proposed name draws on a term increasingly associated in Europe with the far-right and the rise in ethnonationalist immigration attitudes, especially in Germany and Austria, that calls for mass deportation of primarily non-white immigrants. It has become a shorthand to refer to policy proposals triumphed by some European right-wing parties, extremists and neo-Nazi activists that call for forceful mass deportation of migrants. It attracted buzz in 2023 after ajury of German linguistsnamed in "non-word" of the year in its annual ranking of misleading or inappropriate words that are used to discriminate or gloss over issues. While it has become a euphemism for forced repatriation in several Western and Central European countries, it is a largely unfamiliar term in the American political lexicon. In the final weeks of his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump used the term remigration in a post to the social media site X. "As President I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala's illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration)," he said inthe post.
