The POTUS signed an order Thursday ... ordering the FBI and other agencies to release ALL documents relating to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert, and Martin Luther King Jr. ... and he wants full disclosure STAT.

Don wasn't specific, but seems like he's referring to Trump's boatload of executive orders signed hours after his inauguration, including one outlawing DEI, and another declaring there are only two sexes -- male and female.

Ts Madison is sounding off on Donald Trump's executive orders attacking transgender and Black communities ... saying no legal sanction can change the truth.

We caught up with the TV personality in NYC, where she told us she was unbothered by the recent executive orders ... as it would not change the fact she's a Black and trans woman.

Ts, who is the first Black transgender woman to star and executive produce a reality show, struck back at the new administration's "only 2 genders" declaration by reminding her fans they have "a right to identify exactly however you choose to identify."

Rick Caruso is calling on President Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom to put aside their petty political beef, and band together to help folks reeling from the Los Angeles wildfires.

Tony Rock says he's not cheering on a second Donald Trump term as president ... admitting there will be more joke opportunities, but he's not feeling like comedians have struck gold.

Matisyahu says Elon Musk most definitely did not make a Nazi salute at Donald Trump's inauguration ... he says it's just an example of Elon being a fish out of water.

The Jewish singer-songwriter, who voted for Trump this past election, tells TMZ ... Elon's controversial gesture certainly had all the elements of a Nazi salute, but the forceful arm movement was more about Elon not knowing how to act under the bright lights -- though he acknowledges how it looks out of context.

Check out the clip ... Trump says it's not a big deal if China is in fact spying on us via TikTok, because in his estimation, the platform is basically just kids watching crazy videos.

Michael "Harry O" Harris is defending Snoop Dogg for performing for Donald Trump ahead of the inauguration ... he says the gig doesn't mean Snoop betrayed his community.

The Death Row Records co-founder joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked him about all the backlash Snoop is getting because of the Trump event.

Michael says Snoop wasn't making a political statement by performing at Trump's pre-inauguration ball ... telling us the Doggfather is supporting the office more than the person.

Of course, he also acknowledges the fact Trump pardoned Michael -- for a drug trafficking conviction -- helped soften Snoop on POTUS.
