RIP, your music lives on.

BREAKING: During an emergency White House meeting, President Trump reportedly attempted to access the nuclear codes but was blocked by General Dan Caine, according to former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.

It's been a wild experience releasing protest music over the last year

Platforms are actively suppressing the songs and the statements

But the PEOPLE have resonated

This is the state of play in America 2026

We MUST be loud, smart, & consistently active.

PRINCE & DIVERSITY

When we speak of Prince's art
we are speaking of America

We are speaking of diversity

He had a vision
of radical love
and openness
that is more crucial
in today's world
than ever

He elevated women
he elevated love
he elevated our consciousness

SMITH: You're also trying to dress up the friendly skies, telling people not to wear sweatpants to the airport

DUFFY: Yeah. Look at what Sandra Smith wears and that's what you should wear to the airport


ROBERTS: We also look forward to what the FAA has to say about the near-collision in Nashville

RUIZ: Bloomberg reports that Trump & the WH have benched you because you're making the president look bad

RFK Jr: That's not true

RUIZ: I think the reporting is correct. You're making the president look bad. You talked publicly about snorting cocaine off a toilet bowl seat. Your words, not mine.

Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Trump and his sons have enriched themselves by over 4 Billion dollars since he came into office

This is by FAR the most corrupt administration ever

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Thank you, Tulsa, for the warm welcome back - and for showing us what a better future looks like.

The US Navy fired on and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship today.
That's not blockade enforcement. That's a kinetic act on a sovereign vessel.
Anyone still calling this a "limited operation" isn't paying attention.

More of this, less of bombing other countries

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump. It's uncanny.

Mother Jones compared the grievances against King George III to what Trump is up to.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

Remind you of anyone?
