BREAKING: Martina McBride just pulled out of the Great American State Fair. She is now the 5th out of 9 performers to pull out because of Trump’s politicization of the event. Here is her letter to fans:
I would like to talk to you and clear the air. I will not be performing at the Great American State Fair on June 25th. I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading. I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states. In my mind I thought this was a great way to celebrate the states and also bring people together in the way that only music can. I saw it as just a bigger version of so many state fairs I have performed at over the years, celebrating community and what makes each state special.
Sounds fun, right? Wholesome even. Yesterday things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening.
I’ve spent my entire career singing songs about real people with real issues. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to be a voice for those who have felt like they didn’t have one. It greatly upsets me that any fan who has been moved by my music may now feel like I’m abandoning the meaning behind those songs. I assure you, that is not the case. I appreciate every single fan who has reached out. I hope to get back to the DC area very soon.
MAJOR BREAKING: @GavinNewsom has just announced that California will be taxing 100% of all funds received from Trump‘s lawsuit slush fund!
Every single Democratic state in the union needs to follow this blueprint. Federal tax money should not be used as a slush Fund so that the president can pay off criminals.
@mjfree So by LEGALLY you mean the Supreme Court struck down the plan.
And by ILLEGALLY you mean the Supreme Court allowed the plan?
You are LITERALLY ass backwards on what just happened.
I would really love to have an honest conversation about why these teen takeovers are 95% Black without everyone calling me a racist.
I’ve been covering these for months and they are nearly ALL Black teens without their parents.
Why?
Why is like this?
MAJOR BREAKING: Iran is reportedly moving to tighten state control over undersea internet cables running through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint not just for oil, but for global data, banking, cloud services, and communications.
This is disastrous for Trump because it exposes the core failure of his Iran strategy: he promised strength and stability, but Iran is now threatening both the world’s energy artery and its digital infrastructure.
Trump said he had Iran under control. Instead, Iran is turning the Strait of Hormuz into leverage over oil markets, internet traffic, financial systems, and Gulf allies, all while the White House looks like it’s reacting instead of leading.
@GavinNewsom I mean … you are gonna be homeless, and pay $2 more for a gallon of gas, and you might be killed by an illegal … but hey!, here’s some free diapers! Vote Dem!

“I am one of the 535 most powerful people in this country.”
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett says she won’t tolerate “disrespect”:
"The level of disrespect that is continuously lobbed against us as Black women, you know, for me, I’m like, 'Wait a minute now. I am one of the 535 most powerful people in this country, and for some reason you think we on the same level, but you going to disrespect me?' Like, it’s not going to happen."
An appeals court in New York has rejected President Trump's request to rehear his challenges to the writer E. Jean Carroll's successful defamation and sex assault claims. abcnews.link/H2LgAum
America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress.
Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6.
There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day.
Now is a time to unify.
