Jillian Michaels admitted "a lot of Republicans" come up to her and express how "unhappy" they are with President Donald Trump as she warned the party not to rely on MAGA loyalists in the midterms.
On her Keeping It Real podcast on Friday, Michaels, a fitness trainer who has more recently turned to political commentary, reacted to a recent Fox News interview with musician and Trump supporter Nicki Minaj, who insisted MAGA remains loyal to Trump despite his falling poll numbers — which he has dismissed as fake news.
"They talk about how MAGA is still very loyal to Trump, but MAGA is not a big percentage, a big percentage of the total voting pool, because it's not the entire Republican Party," Michaels said.
She then turned to recent polling breaking down how voters identify with parties and movements.
According to Pew Research Center data, 28% of voters identify as Republicans, 29% identify as Democrats, and 44% identify as independent or something else. Among those independents, 43% lean Republican and 47% lean towards Democrats.

31-year-old quarterback Deshaun Watson's five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract with the Cleveland Browns is on track to going down as one of the worst contracts in sports history.
Watson's wife, Jilly Anais, certainly isn't complaining. It opened the door for her to receive an absolutely massive wedding ring, which she showed off in an Instagram post before the Browns' Thursday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jilly Anais Watson (who has worked as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model) posted photos of her at the Browns' most recent home game, where she was wearing Watson's jersey, light blue jeans, a brown bag, and a huge rock on her ring finger.

The custom wedding ring is a direct match with the one Deshaun got when the two tied the knot in the summer of 2025.

RHONY alum Jill Zarin has come under fire after posting a video about her experience at celebrity chef Alain Ducasse's restaurant in ******* an. The 62-year-old TV personality criticized her experience after apparently misreading a sign.
In a now-deleted post, Jill shared a video, "Okay, I finally have something to complain about. I'm in a department store at an Alain Ducasse little post thing. I want to show you this, okay?"
She then revealed two ice cream flavors, each matched with a coordinating cone. The chocolate came in a chocolate cone, while the vanilla was served in a vanilla cone. She said, "I asked them if I could have a chocolate ice cream in this [vanilla] cone … She said no. I said, 'Why not?' No reason, just because. So, my girlfriend got vanilla in the [vanilla] cone, and she says, 'You know, I don't mind. I wouldn't mind the chocolate cone. Just swap them out.' The answer was [still] no."
Jill suggested that the issue could be a ******* an-specific practice or something related to Alain Ducasse. She said she planned to tag the celebrity chef and ask why his staff could not accommodate her request. Jill pointed to the sign, which said customers could have their ice cream served in "a cone or a cup of your choice," and explained that she chose chocolate ice cream in a vanilla cone.
But according to a photo posted by Mr Marcus White on Instagram, the sign reads, "a cone or a cup, your choice," rather than "a cone or a cup of your choice." Netizens did not hold back, taking aim at Jill over her complaint. One of them wrote on Reddit, "If she's in ******* an, and I lived there for a few years, YOU DO NOT ask to modify items on a menu. No one will tell you why. It's simply not done. If you go to a nice enough restaurant, they will gladly prepare something special for you, but they will tell you how it will be prepared and not the other way around."

Kamel told Julian to pay off his $9,700 car loan, build a $30,000 emergency fund, and cap housing payments at 25% of take-home pay.
At a 5.98% 15-year fixed rate and record home prices, Julian's $85,000 salary supports only about $1,400 monthly, which is too little for a duplex.
The 15-year mortgage rate is Julian's biggest obstacle, and a drop back toward February's 5.35% low would unlock more buying power than more saving would.

"All of a sudden you're a bajillionaire" is how the Ramsey Show hosts mocked the pitch a 23-year-old caller named Julian brought them: buy a duplex or triplex as a first home, let tenants cover the mortgage, and skip straight to landlord wealth. Julian said he had about $70,000 in cash, earned about $85,000 a year, still owed $9,700 on a 2024 car loan, and wanted to put at least 10% down because his uncle had told him renters would pay the note. Hosts George Kamel and Jade Warshaw took the call in Dave Ramsey's absence.

When Amy-Jill Levine was a child in Massachusetts, a schoolmate in her predominantly Catholic hometown told her she was guilty of killing Christ because she was Jewish.
Her mother reassured her that wasn't the case — and instead of being embittered by the encounter, the young Levine began attending a Catholic catechism class to learn more about her Christian neighbors and their beliefs.
That blossomed into a decades-long academic career in an unusual role — a Jewish scholar of Christian Scriptures. Levine has worked to improve how Christians and her fellow Jews understand each other. She's spoken at many churches and taught students about the ancient Jewish context of Jesus' life and teachings. She's written numerous books, some in tandem with Christian scholars; she and a co-author even presented one book personally to Pope Francis.
But after the Catholic Biblical **** ociation of America announced earlier this month that Levine was elected its first-ever Jewish president, an antisemitic backlash began.
Denunciations appeared in the posts and replies on social media accounts with tens of thousands of followers. Critics called her "anti-Christian," claimed she's trying to hijack Catholicism, denounced Jews for not accepting Jesus, and tacked on anti-Zionist comments.

Jill Marlan has heard about the success East Grand Rapids has had with its outdoor volleyball event at its turf football stadium in recent years.
That event and seeing things like the college outdoor volleyball game hosted by Nebraska in 2023 that set attendance records inspired Marlan to want to do something similar in Lansing.
So Marlan did her research and talked with the leadership at Lansing Catholic about the possibility of the event taking place locally. And her work over the last year and a half has led to Lansing Catholic planning to host what is being called the Volley Turf Takeover on Thursday, Aug. 20, at Cougar Stadium.
The event will feature a varsity volleyball doubleheader that begins at 5 p.m. with a matchup between Williamston and Portland followed by DeWitt facing Lansing Catholic at 7 p.m.
"I just think volleyball is trending right now and one of the fastest growing women's sports and (one of) the most watched women's sports right now so I'm just really excited to bring this to the Capital City," said Marlan, whose daughter, Leighton, is a senior on the Lansing Catholic team.

Denver Summit co-captain Janine Sonis may have dropped to her knees after converting a game-winning free kick in the dying minutes of the Continental Divide derby with the Utah Royals on Saturday, but her name has only been lifted up since she signed with the NWSL expansion team.
Sonis and the Summit have been a match made in the Rocky Mountains.
While the team's marquee signing was U.S. women's national team midfielder Lindsey Heaps, who has served as club co-captain alongside Sonis since joining the team midseason from OL Lyonnes in France, it is Sonis who is undeniably the heart and soul of the club. She's been with the team since their first game and has shown nothing but consistent, clear-eyed leadership through a slew of highs and lows as the Summit settles into the league.
"To have that kind of performance after a three-game week. We've been punched in the nose a couple of times in the last few games. We've played really good football and it just really hasn't fallen for us," she told broadcast duo JP Dellacamera and Jill Loyden following the 2-1 home thriller. The victory snapped a three-game winless streak.
"You know how this game is. At some point the cover comes off the goal, and thankfully tonight was a night for us. But the league standings are so, so tight, so we know how important these three points are, and I'm really hoping that this just slingshots us into the next couple of weeks."

Progressive Rep. Jill Tokuda, D-Hawaii, cruised to victory in her primary on Saturday, setting up a showdown with Republican state Sen. Brenton Awa in November.
Tokuda is seeking a third term representing Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District, which includes the entire state outside the island of Oahu, as well as rural and suburban parts of Oahu itself.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the district D+12. That means it's highly likely that Democrats keep hold of it in this year's midterms.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the district D+12. That means it's highly likely that Democrats keep hold of it in this year's midterms.

Brenda ******* son is facing another legal challenge after a man asked a court for a civil harassment restraining order against the former soap opera actress. The request comes after ******* son's arrest for misdemeanor battery in July. At this point, the judge did not approve the temporary request, court records indicate. A hearing will now determine whether the order should move forward.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Richard Chamberlin filed a request for a civil harassment restraining order against ******* son on Monday. Chamberlin alleges ******* son hit his daughter, Isabella, in the face and chest during a July 8 incident. He also says she ******* ped Isabella with trash bags, made threats, and verbally harassed several people. Those allegations have not been proven in court.
In the filing, Chamberlin claims to be a property maintenance worker and a renter in the building where ******* son lives. He requested that the court extend the protection to him, Isabella, and another tenant. Chamberlin also says that ******* son has stalked and verbally harassed them for the last two months. He requested that ******* son remain at least five yards away from all of them, including his dog.
The judge, after reading the filing, refused to grant a temporary restraining order. The court said the documents did not adequately demonstrate that ******* son had engaged in any violence, threatened to use violence or caused any significant emotional distress. The court scheduled a hearing for Aug. 24 to consider the request. The judge has not ruled on the merits of Chamberlin's allegations.
The filing follows ******* son's arrest in July on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. The actress was arrested and, the same day, was released on her own recognizance. ******* son is best known for playing Jill Foster Abbott on the long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless. She has not publicly responded to the latest restraining order request at the time of reporting.

Phil Collins has admitted his "personal life is a minefield".
In a long-form interview with The Sunday Times, the Grammy winner opened up about his three failed marriages and revealed he hopes to fall in love again.
"My personal life is a minefield," Phil, 75, told the outlet, before describing how his first marriage, to childhood sweetheart Andrea Bertorelli, failed after his constant international touring with the band Genesis impelled her to have an affair with their interior decorator.
"I felt I had a duty to the guys (in the band) not to be the one to say, I'm sorry, I can't go to America three times this year and Europe twice and ******* an," he explained, before adding he had been "frustrated and angry" that Andrea had not been particularly understanding.
Phil's next marriage, to Jill Tavelman - with whom he shares actress daughter Lily Collins, 37 - lasted 12 years, until he fell in love with a 21-year-old translator, Orianne Cevey. The split was made public after an angry, five-page fax he had sent to Jill was leaked to The Sun newspaper.
Finally, seven years later, his third wife left him and they divorced - only for Phil and Orianne to reunite and move to Florida together six years after that. Shortly afterwards, she blindsided him by marrying another man in Las Vegas.

FORT DODGE — The hopes of bringing home the program's second 3A state softball ****** le ended for Albia at the hands of a team that has won the last two 2A state championships.
For the second time in three days, big blows by the bats of Van Meter proved to be too much for the Lady Dees to overcome. Jilly Wosmansky delivered a go-ahead three-run home run in the third inning for the sixth-ranked Bulldogs while Annie Netten added a two-run homer in the top of the seventh, clinching a 7-2 win over third-ranked Albia advancing to the final four of the Class 3A state softball tournament on Wednesday.
"We knew we were going to have to play a nearly perfect game to win and we didn't do that," Albia head softball coach Larry Achenbach said. "We had some base-running mistakes, they had big hits when they needed them and that was the difference."
Van Meter (34-7) advanced to face No. 2 Dubuque Walhert (37-6) later on Wednesday afternoon on Iowa Central Field inside the Harlan and Hazel Rogers Sports Complex. To make it to the Class 3A state championship game, the reigning two-time 2A state champs needed to beat Walhert twice.
Albia, meanwhile, brings the curtain down on one of the best seasons in program history. The Lady Dees finished with an overall 33-3 record, one victory shy of the most in any single season for an Albia softball team.

For many gathering for a watch party of the World Cup game featuring Mexico, it was a moment four decades in the making, while for others just joining the party was reason enough.
A crowd of at least 1,000 crammed the area near and in Zócalo Food Park in Walkers Point on July 5 with one overriding purpose in mind: to mingle among other avid fans and share Team Mexico's effort to return to the international soccer event's quarterfinals for the first time since 1986. And to keep the party going, if the team satiated that goal.
Or perhaps it was just community pride from those who have roots in Mexico but now live thousands of miles from Estadio Azteca, the Mexico City stadium where the July 5 match had been scheduled to take place live at 7 p.m. CDT. (Inclement weather at the stadium delayed the start an hour.)
Standing among a trio of friends dressed in the Mexico national team's green jerseys, with red and white highlights, Jairo Trujillo of Milwaukee called his team's deep push into the World Cup "a pretty big deal."
Notably, Mexico's Sunday match against England – itself facing a decades-long hunt for a World Cup trophy and tasked with facing a challenging opponent blessed with a rare homefield advantage by luck of the draw – itself carried intrigue.

Serena Williams’ comeback at Wimbledon might last even shorter than expected. During her first-round singles loss to Maya Joint, Williams sustained a knee injury that could put her doubles status in question.
Williams’ agent, Jill Smoller, confirmed Williams’ injury Wednesday, though did not rule out the 44-year-old from making her doubles appearance at the event, per BBC.com.
"Serena tweaked her right knee at the end of the first set and was therefore excused from her media obligations by the Wimbledon and WTA medical teams," said Williams' agent Jill Smoller.
"She left site that night unaided and is doing everything she can to be ready for her doubles match later this week."
Williams is scheduled to take part in doubles matches at Wimbledon with her sister Venus. Their first match is scheduled for Thursday, July 2.

While most of the soccer world is focused on the men at the World Cup, the countdown has begun for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil.
The women's tournament is set to start June 24, 2027, hosted by a South American country for the first time. Brazil hosted the men's World Cup in 1950 and 2014.
“I think that the host country, it sleeps and breathes football. So, I think just the energy you’re going to see from the public, the general public, and obviously the teams touching down in Brazil, I mean, it’s such a unique, special country,” FIFA chief football officer Jill Ellis said at an event Wednesday in Miami. “I think the same energy you’re going to feel right now when you bring the world together, and you have an incredible product in women’s football, I mean, the level of quality the players is so extraordinary that I think, honestly, it will be an epic showcase of football and fandom.”
In addition to Miami, a countdown event was also held in Rio de Janeiro. Even in Vancouver, British Columbia, at Wednesday's World Cup match between Switzerland and co-host Canada, video signage flashed with ads for the upcoming women's tournament.
All eight cities that will host women's matches next year also hosted men's games in 2014: Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife and Salvador.
