Vice President JD Vance has finally come clean on his controversial “childless cat ladies” comment — as he prepares for a potential White House run in 2028.
In his new memoir, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, Vance admits that the insult he lobbed on Tucker Carlson's since-canceled Fox News show was an “error,” NBC News reported Monday.
“One of the dumbest things I ever said came when I argued that ‘childless cat ladies’ across the Democrat Party were running our country into the ground,” Vance writes in the book, due out Tuesday. “It was a boneheaded comment, intentionally (and successfully) provocative rather than illuminating.”
Vance was riding high on the success of his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy and running to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate when he made the rude remark in 2021.
Vance disparaged Democrats as “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country..

The death of a Haitian asylum seeker whose body was found days after she was released from ICE custody has been ruled a homicide.
Maintenance works found Daphy Michel, 31, lying on the ground in a bus shelter, alone and unresponsive, on the morning of March 2, three days after she was released from an ICE office in Pittsburgh.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office found that she died of hypothermia and it ruled the manner a homicide, “indicating the death was caused by the actions of another individual.”
An attorney representing her family said he expects her relatives to sue Immigration and Customs Enforcement in connection with her death.
Michel was a native of Haiti who was seeking asylum in the U.S. after arriving at the southern border in 2022, said Joseph Patrick Murphy, her family's attorney. She was granted humanitarian parole based on urgent humanitarian need, but she did not live to see a hearing scheduled for two weeks after she died, he said.

Helen Mirren, one of the world's most acclaimed actors, was added Friday to a very select group of people recognized by King Charles III for their “major contribution” over the years to British life.
The 80-year-old was named a “Companion of Honour,” one of the highest awards the king can bestow to citizens in the United Kingdom and across the Commonwealth, limited to only 65 people at any time.
Mirren's elevation to the group, which also includes British environmentalist David Attenborough, Canadian author Margaret Atwood and former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, was one of the highlights of Charles' latest award of honors.
The honors, which aim to reward individuals for their contributions to British life, are awarded twice a year to celebrities and public figures as well as ordinary people, once at New Year’s, and then in June, to mark the king’s birthday.
Nearly 1,200 people received honors in the king’s 2026 birthday list,

Donald Trump backed down and announced a new pick to be his director of National Intelligence on Thursday after Democrats threatened to allow a key piece of surveillance legislation expire rather than allow one of the president’s political operatives to temporarily serve in the role.
The president wrote on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon that Jay Clayton, a former chair of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and attorney for the Southern District of New York would take over the role, pending Senate confirmation. His statement came only a few short hours after Democrats halted an attempt to extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for three weeks while Congress worked over the impasse.
“I am pleased to announce the Nomination of very Highly Respected Jay Clayton, former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the former Head of Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the most prominent and successful Law Firms anywhere in the World, and the current United States A..

DeAnna Brandon, a 48-year-old blood cancer survivor, cherishes the simple moments of splashing in a kiddie pool with her grandchildren.
Yet, these precious afternoons are overshadowed by a looming fear: new Medicaid work requirements, set to begin next year, could jeopardize her health coverage and the life-saving treatment keeping her multiple myeloma in remission.
Brandon, who lives in Rockwell, North Carolina, had anticipated qualifying for a medical frailty exemption. But new guidance introduced last week by the Trump administration has cast doubt on her eligibility.
The interim final rule, released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, stipulates that her extreme exhaustion and memory challenges, direct consequences of her treatment, may no longer be sufficient to bypass the work mandates. She will now be required to attest, and subsequently prove, that these symptoms “significantly impair” her ability to fulfill the requirements.
Should her case not be accepted by ..

Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, posted a clip on Instagram of her and the president standing for the national anthem at the NBA Finals Game – but it lacked the audio of the crowd’s boos and only cheers were overlaid.
The roughly 10-second-long clip, posted Tuesday on her Instagram account, appears to be the moment Kai Trump was captured on the jumbotron standing alongside her grandfather for the national anthem during Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.
However, the audio appears to have been swapped for the sound of a crowd cheering, rather than the NBA Finals crowd, which mostly booed the president.
The original audio also features Avery Wilson singing the national anthem at the start of Game 3 between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. That is absent from Kai Trump’s video.
“Thank you to 15SOF for capturing this special moment with my Grandpa,” Kai Trump wrote in her caption, referring to 15 Seconds of Fame, an app that allows people fe..
