He Passed Away Just Days Before His 100th Birthday…
The news hit like a quiet thunderclap. A gentle, familiar face from America’s childhood has slipped away, just shy of a milestone so many hoped to celebrate with him.
For countless viewers, he wasn’t just a character; he was a neighbor, a teacher, a steady presence in a fragile world. Now, the man behind “Handy…” Continues…
Joe Negri’s passing at 99 closes a chapter that helped raise generations. As “Handyman Negri” on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,
he embodied the calm reassurance and everyday kindness that defined the show. On-screen, he fixed things; off-screen,
he quietly helped mend hearts, showing children that patience, gentleness, and curiosity could coexist with a complicated world.
Beyond the Neighborhood, Negri’s life in music was equally profound. A gifted jazz guitarist and devoted educator, he poured decades into nurturing young musicians
, treating each student as someone worth believing in. The tributes now flooding in—stories of lessons remembered, songs first learned, shy kids encouraged—reveal a man
whose influence rippled far beyond television. Joe Negri leaves behind no scandal, no spectacle,
only the quiet power of a life spent making others feel seen, safe, and capable of something beautiful.

The White House confirmed to Fox News Digital that Bondi will serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
"Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president's team, and I'm thrilled for her and for all of us that she's going to remain involved in confronting some of the most important issues the administration faces," Vice President JD Vance said in a statement.

"Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900," Trump wrote. "We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future."

"Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration," Bondi wrote.
"Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history."

***118**The Heartbreaking Secret a Beloved Medical Reporter Hid on National TV for 3 Years
Audiences always saw her with a radiant smile, delivering the latest medical news and rays of hope in cancer treatment. But no one knew that, behind the camera, this reporter was silently fighting for her life against the very deadly disease she reported on every day.
The Solitary Battle Behind the Lens
Liz Bonis was more than just a familiar face. Since 2002, as a registered dietitian and medical reporter for Cincinnati’s WKRC Local 12, she had become a trusted friend and health advisor to millions of families.
But in a tragic twist of fate, the person dedicated to bringing news of healing was harboring a terminal illness. In 2023, Liz was diagnosed with colon cancer. Instead of going public to garner sympathy, she chose to keep her battle strictly private.
For three years, Liz endured a long and agonizing journey that no one knew about:
Undergoing five major surgeries.
Participating in six clinical trials for experimental oncology drugs.
She hid her physical pain, put on a mask of pure professionalism, and walked into the studio every single day.
On Air Until Her Final Breath
The detail that brought millions of viewers to tears was Liz's ultimate dedication. Even in her final days, when her strength was completely depleted, she remained at her desk.
Heartbreakingly, the very last reports she worked on were about new medical technologies and cancer treatments. She brought hope to others while she herself was slowly fading away. On April 30th, Liz Bonis took her last breath at her home.
The Moment the Truth Came to Light
***118***
The truth about Liz was kept so secret that viewers were completely shocked when Kim Stephens, an anchor for Fox 26 News, tearfully announced the tragic news on live television:
"Liz Bonis, died last night after secretly battling colon cancer. We are told she was at her desk in her last few days. With more than 30 years at WKRC, Liz dedicated her life to being our health correspondent."
A Wave of Grief from Viewers
Immediately following the broadcast, social media and forums were flooded with tributes. Thousands of viewers were in disbelief that the energetic woman on their TV screens had been harboring a deadly disease.
"I didn’t realize she was sick. Sorry to learn she passed away."
"I watched Liz for so many years and just loved her spirit. She will be missed so much. RIP LIZ."
"My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends, co-workers and the whole communities she touched. In the blink of an eye she is in heaven. Thanks Ms. Bonis."
Liz Bonis may be gone, but the story of her courage, resilience, and unwavering dedication to the very end will live on forever in the hearts of the viewers who watched and loved her.

Donald Trump ends tense 'Meet the Press' interview, walks away from host
President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" and walked away after moderator Kristen Welker challenged him about unsubstantiated claims of "cheating" in the California primary elections.
The dustup between Trump and Welker arrived during a rain-heavy sit down, full of weather-related interruptions, amid the president's pre-midterms visit to Wisconsin, a crucial swing state for both parties that he won in 2024.
After Welker noted that "Republicans are doing well in California" following the June 2 primary contests, Trump said "they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election," which led to a tense back-and-forth in the interview that aired June 7.

Republicans have criticized the dayslong, ongoing counting process in California's primary races.
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, a conservative, and Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton are both in second place standings in their respective contests, but Democratic foes have gained ground. California has what's known as "jungle primaries," in which all candidates regardless of party compete against each other, and the top two hopefuls advance to the general election.
President Trump speaks with Ken Custer Friday, June 5, 2026 at Custer Farms Inc. in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Also shown are Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, left, and Joe Thomas of Hall of Fame Farms. Trump promoted his administration's efforts to lower costs and open new trade markets for farmers and to boost the economy in rural areas through tax incentives for investors in such areas of the country. It was the president’s first trip to the Wisconsin since being reelected in 2024.
Trump, 'Meet the Press' moderator Welker spar over California elections
As Welker and Trump discussed the California races, including the vote-tallying process, Welker noted "that's how they count the votes in California." Trump responded, asking, "Do you know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election."
Welker then asked Trump if he had evidence to support his claims, and the president responded that "all I have to do is look" and "I listen to people." The NBC anchor again asked for evidence of election fraud and repeated that the typical dayslong process is "how they count the votes in California."
Trump then questioned if it's appropriate to count votes five days after Election Day, and Welker said California officials are urging a quick vote count but have pointed out that the process is slow.
An American pope, a presidential clash and what it means in the pews
Trump told Welker that "they're crooked just like you're crooked, your press is crooked and 'Meet the Press' is crooked." Welker denied the accusations, and Trump said her questions played into "their hands."
Trump ends 'Meet the Press' interview
Welker urged Trump to continue the interview as he called her "either stupid or crooked." The president also criticized other news outlets, including ABC, CBS and CNN.
Trump then looked to end the interview, appearing to remove his microphone to throw it.

"Sorry. Let's call it quits because I've had enough," Trump said. "Thank you, darling. Have a good time."
When Welker told Trump she traveled to Wisconsin for the interview, as "MTP" is typically filmed on set in Washington, he responded that "I sat in the rain with you for an hour." As Welker tried to continue the conversation, Trump said he sat "on and off in the rain, and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press."

The interview ended, and Welker said from the show's Washington studio that she spoke with Trump on June 6 and they both noted the weather complications. The "MTP" host also revealed that Trump agreed to speak with her for another interview.
