Singer Noah Kahan becomes latest to go to war with Donald Trump

Yet another popular musician slammed the Trump administration for using their work without their approval, per reports.According to reporting by The Hollywood Reporter, folk-pop star Noah Kahan responded to a social media post by the White House that used his song "American Cars.""Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration," Kahan responded on Instagram. Kahan's response has received more than 45,000 likes. The White House Instagram post no longer has any music.The social media post, which went on multiple White House accounts, was about an event in Michigan for autoworkers."Made in America is BACK," the post read. "For decades, globalists sold out Michigan autoworkers, shipping jobs overseas and gutting Detroit’s factories. Every president before Trump promised to stop it."Trump has repeatedly been shut down and slammed after using popular artists' work without their permission. Over the weekend, pop star Katy Perry took to X to say she was "appalled" to see that the Trump administration had "weaponized" her song "Firework" for a video of military violence. Her response led to a MAGA meltdown and upset some Trump officials.The estate of late music legend Leonard Cohen refused to let Trump play "Hallelujah" at the Great American State Fair. A slew of musicians who were listed as part of a concert lineup for Trump's America250 festivities similarly dropped out or denied that they had agreed to play.The Hollywood Reporter noted that Celine Dion, Kesha and Tom Petty have also joined the "long list" of artists who have called out Trump for using their music without permission.

GOP strategist accuses Mitch McConnell's team of morbid scam — and tells them to lawyer up

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has posted two images from the hospital to show proof of life, amid swirling speculation about his declining health.But former GOP strategist turned Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt doesn't buy it — and told Joanna Coles on The Daily Beast Podcast this week that he is convinced there is a cover-up underway.“Here’s my advice to the Mitch McConnell team: get lawyers,” said Schmidt. “I think this is a fraud that’s being perpetrated upon the taxpayer and whatever statute is applicable. I think there’s a high likelihood that what they’re doing here is illegal. I don’t think that Mitch McConnell is alive... I don’t think he’s sentient.”McConnell, who previously served as Senate Republican Leader and was an overbearing presence in national politics, was rushed to the hospital weeks ago over what has been described as a cardiac arrest event. Aides insist McConnell is recovering but acknowledge he is a long way from returning to work.The bottom line, said Schmidt, is that “I don’t think Mitch McConnell’s walking out of the hospital.”Under Kentucky law, passed recently by Republicans, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear would not have any power to appoint an interim senator if McConnell passes away, and a special election would have to take place immediately.Beshear has faced calls from some Democratic activists to do more to demand proof of life from McConnell, but Schmidt pointed out people need to be realistic.The governor “can’t show up at the hospital and declare, ‘It’s I, Andy Beshear, governor of the Commonwealth, let me into the room.’ Right?” said Schmidt. “And by the way, Andy Beshear’s not in that political party that wants to be in your hospital room with you at the moment of birth, at the moment of death; that’s peering through the bedroom window.”
