We want you to be a part of TMZ, so every weekday, between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM PT, we take you inside our newsroom via live stream.

You never know what you’re gonna get … a big story that breaks, an argument erupts in the room, or someone’s just joking around.

Your comments are a big part of the stream, and the staff spends a lot of time speaking directly to you. Every day is different!

TJ Sabula, the Ford plant worker who yelled “pedophile protector” at President Donald Trump during his visit, has the full backing of his powerful union amid a paid suspension … and they’re fighting to keep his job.

United Auto Workers Union Vice President Laura Dickerson tells TMZ … “[TJ Sabula] believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.”

Dickerson adds … “The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member.”

We showed you the video first — TJ yelled out “pedophile protector” at Trump as he was walking through the factory … and it clearly got under his skin. In response, POTUS mouthed “F*** you” to TJ before flipping him off.

For his part, TJ told the Washington Post he seized his opportunity and has no remorse … but he is concerned about his job and future employment and feels he’s being “targeted for political retribution” for “embarrassing Trump in front of his friends.”

Timothy Busfield surrendered to law enforcement on child sex abuse charges Tuesday … and now we’re learning new details about the U.S. Marshals’ search to nab him, including a raid on his New York property.

Turns out the “West Wing” actor gave himself up just in time yesterday in New Mexico, because the feds were hot on his trail … busting through the door of his home in upstate New York.

A rep for the U.S. Marshals tells TMZ … Marshals were searching for Busfield and drove by his New York state address, hoping to catch him there.

Believing he was in the home, Marshals entered and searched for him, but came up empty, according to the rep.

We’re told “nothing was taken,” and officers made a “clean departure.” The Daily Mail was first to report the search for Busfield in New York.

Marshals had previously been sitting on the home to see if Busfield would show up, as neighbors said they had seen Busfield there recently, we’re told.

As we reported … the award-winning film and TV actor and director is accused of sexually abusing two boys who were child actors on “The Cleaning Lady” while he was directing the show in 2022 in New Mexico. Prosecutors say the child actors were 7 and 8 at the time of the alleged contact, and their parents reported the alleged crimes to the Albuquerque police two years later, leading to a criminal investigation.

Attorney Christina McGovern told TMZ … “I conducted an independent and thorough investigation of all allegations known to the Studio at the time. Warner Bros. gave me full discretion as to my investigation. Based on what was alleged, and all evidence gathered, including multiple witness statements, I found no corroborating evidence that Mr. Busfield engaged in inappropriate conduct or that he was ever alone with the twins on set.”

Busfield has made clear he will “confront these lies,” adding, “I did not do anything to those little boys.”
