Marcus Mumford and Maren Morris have covered ‘Look at Us Now (Honeycomb)’, a song from new TV show Daisy Jones & The Six.The song is sung by stars Riley Keough and Sam Claflin in the Amazon Prime Video show, but it was co-written by Mumford and Grammy-winning producer Blake Mills.Mumford and Morris have now covered the song for Amazon Music, with Mumford explaining: “Blake and I wrote ‘Look at Us Now (Honeycomb)’ together – with a bit of help – about a year and a half ago for Daisy Jones & The Six.“This time around, we stripped the song right back down to acoustic guitar and a vocal – which is how it was written – and then kind of built it back up from there until we landed on an arrangement that we liked.“I’ve been a fan of Maren for a long time – both her solo music and her work with The Highwomen – and this duet needed a voice like hers. We’re just honestly so thankful she agreed to do it.”Morris added: “Shows depicting the reality of what it takes to become a band or what it’s really like touring can so often get it wrong.

Donald Trump called for the building of 10 “freedom cities,” as well as flying cars and a “baby bonus” in a new campaign ad shared to Rumble on Friday.“Today, our country has lost its boldness,” he said after mentioning some of the American infrastructure achievements of the past. “Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way… Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living.”He began with the idea of building 10 new cities on unoccupied federal land.

Ana Navarro has no love for her husband’s successor as the chair of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC). According to the hosts of “The View,” Matt Schlapp and his wife became “barnacles” on “Donald Trump’s ass” pretty quickly, and the event has suffered because of it.Navarro’s comments came on Friday as she and her co-hosts were discussing this year’s CPAC lineup, noting that the twice-impeached former president is the biggest Republican name on the attendees list.

from The Washington Post uncovered that FBI agents and the Department of Justice collided in 2022 over the ongoing criminal investigation into Donald Trump, with some members of the former government body arguing that they were “inclined to believe” the former president’s innocence. Hosting “The Last Word” on MSNBC Wednesday, Lawrence O’Donnell was all but rendered speechless, visibly shocked and livid at the presumed hypocrisy that “FBI agents who were screened for aptitude in detecting truth were ‘inclined to believe Trump.'” “In what decade could that sentence possibly be written?” O’Donnell said, aghast, emphasizing that it “may be the single most astonishing sentence ever written that includes the words ‘FBI agents’ and ‘Trump.'”The news channel host then recounted some highlights from Trump’s storied career of lies, going all the way back to the 1970s when he and his father were subject to “a federal civil rights investigation by the Justice Department … when the Trump company’s racist practices got them dragged into court in New York.” Or how about 2011 “when Trump started publicly lying about Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

Andrew Weissmann We are in a unique moment in American history. There are currently four criminal investigations into the former president of the United States: two federal, one in Georgia, and one in New York. This novel situation has led to a debate not just in the walls of academe but amongst the citizenry as to whether prosecuting a former president will reduce our country to a so-called banana republic, or whether the very act of not prosecuting the former president would lead to that result. And just as important, how will Jack Smith, the designated Special Counsel in charge of the federal Trump investigations, weigh this issue in deciding whether or not to bring charges? Will the collateral consequences to the country be considered at all, and if so, which way will they cut, for or against prosecution?

Donald Trump went on the attack against Fox Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch following the latest revelations from Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against the media company.

Donald Trump‘s Make America Great Again movement “racist”.The Breaking Bad actor shared his thoughts on the former US president’s catchphrase on Who’s Talking With Chris Wallace.“The Make America Great again – my comment is, do you, do you, do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark? And most people, a lot of people go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?” Cranston said..@BryanCranston explains to Chris Wallace why “MAGA” is a racist remark. (So well done, worth a watch.) pic.twitter.com/c3SdlyzFwe— Kaivan Shroff (@KaivanShroff) February 25, 2023“I said, ‘so just ask yourself from, from an African-American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African-American? When was it great?'” he continued.“So if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them.”The actor went on to say that white people must accept the injustices of the past even if it may seem uncomfortable.“So it’s, it’s to teach us in the woke world to open up and, and accept the possibilities that our privilege has created blind spots for us,” he said.

Bryan Cranston is telling it like it is — and thank goodness for that.

Prime News on Wednesday, Feb. 22, where he was asked to comment on the Biden administration’s handling of a train carrying hazardous materials that derailed in eastern Ohio earlier this month.The junior Trump said that “Joe [Biden] doesn’t give a crap” about the environmental turmoil and potential dangers facing the residents of East Palestine, Ohio — who were temporarily forced to evacuate the area after the derailment — and “couldn’t care less” about the situation on the ground.He then shifted the conversation to attack Buttigieg for his handling of the crisis.

Jimmy Kimmel due to the late night host's constant barrage of jokes aimed at the then-President, according to a report.Two former Trump administration officials told Rolling Stone that the POTUS was so incensed with Jimmy's constant jabs that he directed the White House staff to call Disney executives and demand action.One source told the mag that Trump complained the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host was "very dishonest and doing things that [Trump] would have once sued over." Rolling Stone says high ranking people at Disney — which owns ABC, the network Jimmy's show airs on — were confused as to why the leader of the free world was so annoyed at the barbs, particularly given that top politicians have been used as late night fodder for decades.The exact number of calls allegedly placed to Disney executives isn't known. "I do not know to who[m], but it happened. Nobody thought it was going to change anything but DJT was focused on it so we had to do something…It was doing something, mostly, to say to [Trump], 'Hey, we did this,'" a Trumpworld source said. The former POTUS, who famously hates being the punchline, has previously voiced his opinion about late night hosts.

Make America Great Again?’ I said, ‘So just ask yourself from, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American? When was it great?’”

Over the weekend, Chris Wallace asked Bryan Cranston on CNN about “a tussle” he got into recently about critical race theory on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast.

As twice-impeached former President Donald Trump continues on his campaign trail in a third attempt at the presidency, “The View” host Alyssa Farah Griffin is pretty sure that he’ll throw the biggest temper tantrum possible if he doesn’t score the 2024 GOP nomination. In fact, she think’s he’ll “burn the entirety” of the party “to the ground.”During Monday’s episode of “The View,” the women kicked off their Hot Topics with a discussion on the possibility of GOP candidates being forced to sign a loyalty pledge in 2024, stating that they’ll support whoever ends up getting the Republican nomination.

“Oh, it’s wonderful to be here in the town of East Palestine, not a great name,” said the James Austin Johnson portrayed Donald Trump tonight kicking off Saturday Night Live. “I’m here and I brought hats, cameras and hats” he added after taking a swipe at Joe Biden for visiting the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this week and had a visit from his own legal troubles.

Katie Reul editor Donald Trump was skewered for his recent press conference in East Palestine, Ohio during the “Saturday Night Live” cold open. Framed as fake C-Span coverage, “SNL” featured player James Austin Johnson embodied the former president as he gave an address to local residents impacted by the recent trail derailment and toxic chemical spill in the area. “I’ve been looking at your river, and it’s so shiny,” Johnson said, impersonating the politician. “I’ve never seen water more beautiful — beautiful rainbows and discoloration. It’s great. It’s wearing makeup, like Fenty beauty water.” Johnson proceeds to shoutout Rihanna for her Feb. 12 halftime show at Super Bowl LVII, commenting on her pregnancy. Regaining focus, Johnson directs blame at the man he identifies as the one true culprit.

slammed former president Donald Trump’s visit to Ohio on Thursday’s episode. Trump’s visit came following the East Palestine train derailment, an incident that Behar argued was “his fault.”On Feb. 3, a 38-car train carrying toxic chemicals derailed, which led to a spill and ignition of multiple tanks in the area.

This is just an evil thing to say. I would say I can’t fathom this level of cruelty and elitism but sadly… I can.

Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has come out as a vocal advocate for a “national divorce” between liberal and conservative states. But “Morning Joe” economic analyst Steve Ratner warned Thursday that red states would experience “huge economic deficits” if such a move succeeded.“[Red states] wouldn’t have money for their projects, they wouldn’t have new bridges, they wouldnt have federal installations in their districts, they wouldn’t have food stamps, they wouldn’t have Medicaid to help cushion their residents against extreme poverty,” he explained.

Former President Donald Trump visited East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday to meet with the community in disarray after a Norfolk Southern train derailment containing hazardous materials earlier this month.During his “Late Show” monologue on Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert talked about Trump’s visit to the devastated town without naming him, only referring to him as “former president.”Colbert said what should’ve been a visit comforting people dealing with a tragedy seemed more like a campaign rally for Trump. The late-night host said, either way, it was an epic fail.“This may be a surprise to you, but the former president was not just in Ohio out of the goodness of his heart,” Colbert said.

The “Morning Joe” team was left stunned on Wednesday after airing a portion of an interview between NBC’s Blayne Alexander and Emily Kohrs, a foreperson of the Atlanta-based grand jury that investigated former president Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election.The in-studio panel, including Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, didn’t seem to know how to react, appearing shocked, breaking into laughter and punting the commentary responsibilities from one to the next. During the interview, Kohrs revealed that indictments have been recommended for over a dozen people and that it “might” include Trump.

tweeted that “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” drawing furious responses from the left and more moderate right.“This is so laughable because blue states as we all know are the donor states, or the states where taxpayers take it on the chin to take care of districts like Marjorie Taylor Greene’s, to take care of districts across taxes where Ted Cruz talks about secession,” host Joe Scarborough said on Tuesday’s episode of “Morning Joe.”“What is it that so deeply offends [Republicans], like three trans athletes in Utah want to swim? Is that real?” he asked guest commentator Charlie Sykes.Both agreed that calls for a “national divorce” were not to be taken as a serious possibility, but rather as a tactic to collect funds from right-wing supporters.“It’s fascinating that they’re so desperate to raise money from small donors, they’re actually willing to say, we need to have a civil war,” Scarborough pointed out.Sykes agreed that their motives were purely “to keep racheting up the outrage.” Still, such rhetoric is not without danger, he said.“People like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ron DeSantis are appealing to the id of the party, the id of the right, which is anti-Ukraine, which is willing to tolerate this sort of notion that our real enemy is not Vladimir Putin.

Kelly Clarkson and Jane Lynch are both big believers in aliens, and at this point, they’re pretty sure that the government knows that to be true but is hiding their existence from the public. Lynch thinks this is especially true, considering twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, who will “say anything,” has even skirted the topic.In a preview of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” airing on Tuesday, Lynch sat down with Clarkson and, knowing they’re both into the idea of extraterrestrials, Clarkson asked for her input on the unidentified flying objects being shot down over U.S.

if Mr. Trump was capable of turning the spotlight off himself and putting it onto those families and that community that’s in a lot of pain, a lot of fear,” Begala said.
