“Savannah will not be joining us at the Olympics as she focuses on being with her family during this difficult time,” NBC News reported, citing a statement from NBC Sports. “Our hearts are with her and the entire Guthrie family as the search continues for their mother. We will share additional information about our Opening Ceremony coverage plans soon.”

The “Today” co-anchor was preparing to fly to Italy on Monday when “the worst phone call of her life” pivoted her in the opposite direction, an NBC producer who knows her told CNN. Instead of hosting the festivities alongside Terry Gannon and later with former “Today” co-host Hoda Kotb, Guthrie jumped on a plane to Tucson, Arizona, to support the search for her 84-year-old mom Nancy Guthrie.

Savannah Guthrie did not comment about the change in plans, but expressed gratitude Monday for everyone’s support.

“Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant,” Guthrie posted on Instagram. “Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment. Bring her home.”

Nancy Guthrie’s family reported her missing around noon Sunday after a church friend called one of her grown children to let them know she had not shown up to services. Family members, who had seen their mother just the night before, searched her home and found nothing, then called police, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nano recounted.

After an all-night search using drones, a helicopter, an airplane, search-and-rescue dogs and volunteers, it was apparent Guthrie’s home was a crime scene, Nano said. She had been taken against her will during the middle of the night while in bed asleep, authorities determined. A source familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press there were signs of forced entry.

Officials are asking the public to phone in with any tips and submit footage from doorbell cameras and anything else that could shed light on her disappearance. Though she is “sharp as a tack,” she has limited mobility due to health issues, Nano stated.

“Time really is of the essence,” he told MS Now’s Katy Tur on Monday. “She’s on some pretty serious meds. Her not being able to get to those meds could be fatal.”

Linda Stevenson, 64, had been found “unresponsive in the living room” in late December by police responding to a domestic dispute call and was pronounced dead, authorities said at the time.

On Monday her husband, 77-year-old William Stevenson, was charged with first-degree murder in her death, though authorities have not yet released information on how she died or revealed a cause, KTVU-TV reported.

Unable to post bail, Stevenson was being held at Howard Young Correctional Institution on $500,000 cash bail, KTVU reported.

Biden was married to Stevenson from 1970 to 1977 before marrying Joe Biden in 1977. The Stevensons were married for about 40 years.

Many of the planned “mega” warehouse detention centers are located in small cities and towns whose infrastructure cannot support such a population surge, their officials say. A number of them are located close to homes and schools, residents and officials contend.

The plans drew local opposition across the political spectrum when they became public in December That included a rally last week in Chester, N.Y., where the government plans to detain as many as 1,500 people in a 400,000-square-foot former Pep Boys auto parts warehouse.

Despite the pushback, ICE has started a buying spree, according to reports last week in Bloomberg and The Washington Post.

As many as 23 warehouses in eight states will have the capacity to detain 80,000 immigrants nationwide, according to the plan. The U.S. spent $172 million in January alone to acquire two such warehouses — spending $102 million for a warehouse near Hagerstown, Maryland and $70 million for one in Surprise, Arizona.

Some of the deals have collapsed as property owners learn what the site is to be used for, Bloomberg reported. That happened with a 550,000-square-foot warehouse in Virginia owned by a Canadian magnate, and owners of a warehouse in Oklahoma City.

ICE has reportedly refused to share details of its Chestertown plan with state, county or local officials, citing the “heightened threat environment and the unprecedented opposition being thrown up by the left against ICE’s efforts to effectuate mass deportations,” Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY18) told Spectrum News at Friday’s rally.

Since ICE’s plans first came to light, the nation has seen government agents fatally shoot two U.S. citizens protesting detention tactics in Minneapolis, and hundreds harassed, sprayed with tear gas or bullied trying to protect neighbors.

“The inhumane treatment that we know is happening across ICE detention centers in this country, that has no place here in our backyard,” Orange County Legislator Genesis Ramos told Spectrum. “Even if we had the infrastructure, I would be in full opposition of this facility.”

The roundup by ICE foreswore it was “targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens who have terrorized communities” in what it called “Operation Catch of the Day.”

But heavily armed ICE agents scooped up residents with no criminal record who were going about their daily business, with an apparent focus on the Somali community. They did share the names of some allegedly convicted criminals they had arrested whose crimes included false imprisonment, assault, obstructing justice, endangering the welfare of a child, cocaine possession and operating under the influence of alcohol. It was not clear whether they had served jail time or not.

The Department of Homeland Security did not reveal the number of ICE agents deployed or how long they planned to stay. Local officials continued to say thanks but no thanks to “a disproportionate presence of federal agents” descending on the 570,000-population combined municipalities, as Portland Mayor Mark Dion put it.

“Portland rejects the need for the deployment of ICE agents into our neighborhoods,” Dion said in a statement. “While we respect the law, we challenge the need for a paramilitary approach to the enforcement of federal statutes. The consequence of law enforcement should not be chaos and violence, which only results in making Portland less safe.”

Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline was more forceful.

“ICE’s terror and intimidation tactics reflect a complete lack of humanity and concern for basic human welfare,” Sheline said in a statement obtained by WCSH-TV. “These masked men with no regard for the rule of law are causing long-term damage to our state and to our country. Lewiston stands for the dignity of all people who call Maine home. We will never stop caring for our neighbors.”

Sheline and Dion had been warning constituents that ICE was on its way, and Gov. Janet “I’ll see you in court” Mills issued her own warning to the president about following the law.

“Maine will not be intimidated, and we will not betray the values that make us who we are,” she said in a video message last week.

Mills urged anyone who wanted to protest to stay peaceful. That was echoed by other officials, from the mayors to U.S. Attorney Andrew Benson, who said maintaining peace was vital, as was knowing the difference between protestation and obstruction.

“Governor Mills and her fellow sanctuary politicians in Maine have made it abundantly clear that they would rather stand with criminal illegal aliens than protect law-abiding American citizens,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in the agency’s statement, adding that those arrested had been “convicted of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of a child. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are no longer allowing criminal illegal aliens to terrorize American citizens.”

Though he didn’t mention the late Tatiana Schlossberg by name or reference her death, Trump harvested screenshots of his supporters’ posts belittling the famous family after his newly handpicked board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted to tack the president’s name onto the venue.

The Kennedy family announced Schlossberg’s death on Tuesday from a rare form of leukemia with the simple message, “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”

Schlossberg had written poignantly about her diagnosis and treatment in The New Yorker in November, a powerful account of a year-long journey that paralleled her cousin Robert Kennedy Jr.’s attack on the nation’s public health system as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

As condolences poured in, Trump, reportedly miffed at the raft of performance cancellations in the wake of the board’s Dec. 18 name change, pulled supporters’ social media posts out of mothballs and onto Truth Social. He re-upped such gems as, “The Kennedy Family have LONG neglected the Kennedy Center, btw. They don’t raise money for it. They never show up. And the only Kennedy who has been there recently is a member of Trump’s cabinet,” and, “The Trumps have always been supporters of the arts. The Kennedys are supporters of the Kennedys.”

The Kennedys themselves were especially vocal during the public backlash against the institution’s name change, given that Congress had dedicated it as a living memorial to JFK after the president’s 1963 assassination.

CNN’s Jake Tapper and others led the excoriation charge against Trump’s posts.

“In the early afternoon, ET, the Kennedy family announced that JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg had died from cancer,” the anchor wrote on X. “A few hours later, President Trump re-posted some social media garbage attacking the Kennedy family.”

Barely a month earlier, Trump had blamed movie director Rob Reiner for his own murder.

“On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them,” Meidas Touch wrote on X. “Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.”

Long concerned with the WWE’s cozy relationship with Trump amid the administration’s “ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants,” Foley wrote in his announcement on social media, “reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me.”

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque, known in the wrestling world as Triple H, is a fixture at many White House events. Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon helmed the U.S. Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term and currently serves as U.S. Secretary of Education.

“I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy,” Foley wrote. “Last night, I informed WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office.”

Both Foley and Trump were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, Trump as a celebrity honoree.

Hours after Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were discovered Sunday in their Los Angeles home with their throats slit, Trump posted a social media diatribe blaming Rob’s death on anger he incited with his liberal views. Blowback has come from all sides of the political spectrum. Their younger son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested for their murders.

Foley’s breakup with WWE was thorough.

“Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June,” Foley wrote. “I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, ’I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.’ ”

Clips of Reiner’s compassionate response to the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk when he discussed the horrifying incident with Piers Morgan in September are flooding the internet.

“When you first heard about the murder of Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction to it?” Morgan asked Reiner on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” as shown in a clip posted by show staffers and then reposted by its eponymous host.

“Well, horror. Absolute horror,” Reiner said. “And I unfortunately saw the video of it, and it’s beyond belief what happened to him. And that should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution to solving problems.”

On Sunday — just three months later — Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home. Their son Nick Reiner has been charged with their slayings.

Reiner was especially struck, as were many observers, when Kirk’s widow, Erica Kirk, forgave her husband’s attacker during a national memorial service held in Kirk’s honor.

“I felt like what his wife said at the service, at the memorial they had, was exactly right,” Reiner continued. “And totally. I believe, you know, I’m Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in ‘do unto others,’ and I believe in forgiveness. And what she said, to me, was beautiful and absolutely, you know, she forgave his assassin, and I think that that is admirable.”

Reiner’s remarks resonated in a soft-spoken rebuke to Trump’s widely denounced vitriol, in which he blamed the director’s killing on anger supposedly generated by his liberal views, described him as “tortured and struggling” and said he suffered from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“Rob Reiner responded with grace and compassion to Charlie’s assassination,” Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet wrote on X, echoing the public support for the 78-year-old director. “This video makes it all the more painful to hear of he and his wife’s tragic end. May God be close to the broken hearted in this terrible story.”

The “Euphoria” actor and “Gray’s Anatomy” alum did not shy away from any aspect of the disease as he spoke on a panel hosted by the advocacy organization I am ALS on Giving Tuesday. He became a spokesperson for the nonprofit following his diagnosis with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which he announced in April.

ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, depletes and destroys the motor neurons — nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movements. When they stop telling the muscles what to do, the muscles stop working. It is a terminal diagnosis.

“I have no reason to be in a good spirit at any time, on any given day,” Dane told viewers during the virtual panel. “I don’t think anybody would blame me if I went upstairs in my bedroom, crawled under the sheets, and spent the next two weeks crying.”

Instead, Dane has made a surprising discovery.

Losing the use of his right arm, missing his Emmys “Grey’s Anatomy” reunion due to a hospital run, and navigating the complicated relationship with near-ex Rebecca Gayheart for the sake of their children, has shown him a resilience he didn’t know he had.

“I was a little bit pleasantly surprised when I realized that I wasn’t built like that, because I thought for sure that was gonna be me,” Dane said of his unmaterialized weep-fest. “It’s encouraging for me to know that I actually can have a buoyant spirit in the face of something so horrible.”

He has even returned to acting. In his first role since announcing the diagnosis, Dane played a fireman on the medical drama “Brilliant Minds” who is struggling to tell his family he has ALS. The episode aired on Nov. 24.

It was a physical and emotional challenge, from saying his lines to portraying someone going through the same thing he is, something he’d never done before. But that made the scene so powerful that cast and crew gave him a 10-minute standing ovation after he filmed it.

Dane plans to continue, taking only “ALS-centric parts,” he said, noting that he is grateful he can still work.

“I’m fairly limited in what I can do physically as an actor, but I still have my brain, and I still have my speech,” Dane said.

Beyond that, he simply wants to educate people about the disease.

“I think it’s imperative that I share my journey with as many people as I can, because I don’t feel like my life is about me anymore,” the actor said. “I want to make sure that people are aware of what ALS is and, more importantly, what we can do to combat it and improve the landscape.”

The estate is asking $27 million this time around, according to TMZ. The actress and home renovator had first listed it last March for $28.9 million as her health took a downward turn.

In May, the price dropped to $27.5 million, where it stayed until being taken off the market just two weeks before she died of pneumonia.

The star paid $4.7 million for the brick home in 2011, according to the Robb Report. Keaton chronicled her renovation of the 1920s-era five-bedroom, seven-bathroom house in her book “The House that Pinterest Built,” detailing all the design ideas she had gotten from the site.

While she bought, renovated, designed or rented about 50 homes as a side hustle during her acting career, Keaton called this one the place she planned to live in permanently.

The simmering conflict between the once-unabashed loyalist and the president came to a head Friday when Trump withdrew support and cut ties with Greene on his Truth Social platform. He dubbed the Georgia congresswoman “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene,” called her a “ranting lunatic” and a “disgrace to our great Republican party,” and declared he would support primary challengers.

“The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong,” Greene told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” her first interview since the falling-out. “And those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.”

Bash noted that Greene had championed such rhetoric when it was aimed at others and was only calling it out now that it had put her own safety at risk.

“I think that’s fair criticism,” Greene replied. “And I would like to say humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It’s very bad for our country.”

Greene has from accused school shooting survivors of being “paid actors,” espoused QAnon conspiracy theories and even blamed what came to be known as “Jewish space lasers” for manipulating the weather.

“I’m only responsible for myself and my own words and actions,” Greene told Bash. “I’ve been working on this a lot lately, to put down the knives in politics. I really want to just see people be kind to one another, and we need to figure out a new path forward that is focused on the American people.”

She added that she hoped others, and one person in particular, would follow suit.

“I’m leading the way with my own example, and I hope that President Trump can do the same,” she told Bash.

Greene’s insistence on releasing the Epstein files, her break with the President’s foreign policy approach, and her criticism of Republican senators for refusing to negotiate health care with their Democratic colleagues during the government shutdown, and other rifts apparently fueled Trump’s rage. Nonetheless, Greene said her support of the president’s stated agenda has not wavered.

“I do support him and his administration, and I support them in delivering the campaign promises we made to the American people,” Greene told Bash. “Unfortunately it has all come down to the Epstein files, and that is shocking. I stand with these women, I stand with rape victims, I stand with children who are in terrible sex abuse situations, and I stand with survivors of trafficking and those who are trapped in sex trafficking. And I will not apologize for that.”
