Black New York residents have some provocative thoughts on the issue of reparations as compensation for slavery and other 'racial injustices.' Back in December 2023, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill that established a "community commission to study the history of slavery in New York state" to examine "various forms of reparations." Less than a year later, an emboldened NYC council passed slavery reparations legislation to 'yield material solutions' from US history.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An upcoming celebration of America's 250th anniversary, “The Great American State Fair," recently had several musical guests back out partly over the event's ties to President Donald Trump. Now, Trump himself is slated to headline the festivities, the organizers said Saturday. “I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with [...]
Spencer Pratt is gaining significant support in key pockets of Los Angeles, according to a new poll that spells trouble for Mayor Karen Bass as more voters blame City Hall for homelessness, rising costs and the city's overall direction.
President Donald Trump made the unorthodox proposal Saturday to replace the shrinking number of artists for the Great American State Fair concert with himself – claiming to have drawn audiences larger than “Elvis in his prime” – and in doing so, left several onlookers floored, including CNN’s Jake Tapper.“Didn’t think this was a real post at first,” Tapper wrote Saturday in a social media post on X after seeing Trump’s online post floating the proposal.Organized by the Trump-linked organization Freedom 250, the American State Fair unveiled several headliners recently for its live music concert, including Milli Vanilli, Flo Rider and Vanilla Ice. After learning of the event’s connections to Trump, however, “nearly all” have pulled out of the event.The mass exodus of artists – which Trump described as them getting “the yips” – apparently sparked the president’s idea that he would be a viable replacement for the event’s entertainment, albeit a new event he dubbed “America is Back Rally” to take place at the same time and location, suggesting he would give a “major speech” in lieu of performing live music.“The artists pulling out say this isn’t about the ‘yips,’ they say it’s about the perception that the festivity is partisan in nature,” Tapper continued. “Not sure this post will dispel that concern.”Trump’s proposal drew mockery from a number of critics, including from several conservatives.“Wow. He’s nuts,” wrote Michigan Republican Party strategist Jeff Timmer in a social media post on X.And prominent far-right influencer Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire called the idea “lame and boring,” encouraging Trump to ditch the idea and “just go out and get real musicians.”Didn’t think this was a real post at first. Either way, the artists pulling out say this isn’t about the “yips,” they say it’s about the perception that the festivity is partisan in nature. Not sure this post will dispel that concern. https://t.co/ZRVpKbmrZi https://t.co/gPxS5LcOPM— Jake Tapper 🦅 (@jaketapper) May 30, 2026
Some of Donald Trump's most reliable supporters are pushing back after the White House announced the president would deliver a speech as the replacement for artists who pulled out of the America 250 celebration, with critics on the right calling the move self-aggrandizing and tone-deaf.The White House promoted the event as an "AMERICA IS BACK Rally!" but prominent conservative voices were not impressed.Matt Walsh, the right-wing commentator and one of Trump's most prominent media allies, called the decision an unforced error. "Replacing a concert with a speech is lame and boring," Walsh wrote on X. "Just go out and get real musicians to play. Don't cancel the concert just because a bunch of washed up old has-beens canceled. There are hundreds of artists out there who might not be famous but would absolutely leap at the chance to play on a stage like this."Jenna Ellis, the former Trump campaign lawyer who was among those charged in the Georgia election interference case, was more direct. "America 250 is not about Trump," she wrote. "This is so egotistical."Conservative commentator Jackie Chea made a similar point, suggesting Trump "shouldn't make the concert into a rally" and instead should "channel his Show Biz days and let new artists compete with patriotic songs."The pushback comes as the White House has struggled to fill the entertainment void left by artists who declined to perform at the event marking the nation's 250th anniversary, with Trump's solution appearing to generate as much controversy as the original cancellations.America 250 is not about Trump.This is so egotistical. 🤦♀️ https://t.co/2SGfSXtHh8— Jenna Ellis 🐊 (@realJennaEllis) May 30, 2026

Freedom 250, the organization behind the event, said Saturday that that President Trump will kick off the event on June 24 in an opening ceremony.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has mixed reviews from primary voters, according to a new California Post-McLaughlin Associates poll.
On Saturday morning, CNN host Abby Phillip was forced to call out a New York Post journalist who went on an extended rant attacking E. Jean Carroll while justifying a possible DOJ investigation of the Donald Trump adversary.On “Table for Five,” the conversation moved from Trump’s “lawfare” slush fund, to the accusations from the Trump administration that Carroll might have perjured herself during one of her winning lawsuits filed against the president.That led the Post’s Lydia Moynihan to go off.With the entire panel talking over each other, Moynihan won out and claimed, “At this point, nothing is official. It's widely reported by CNN and other outlets. Um, basically she [Carroll] was claiming that an incident happened in 1993, 1984. She didn't have any specific date.”“That's not what this case was about, “ Phillip interjected.“But let me just walk through this case real briefly,” the Post reporter insisted before continuing, “I actually do think if you look at the E. Jean Carroll case now, there is new evidence coming to light. She says that Reid Hoffman had nothing to do with it. It turns out he may have, so that's what they're looking at. But I will acknowledge the perception for Trump is problematic.”“One quick point, a clarification of something that you said -- none of this that we're talking about here as it relates to E. Jean Carroll is new,” the CNN host lectured her. “This idea that Reid Hoffman paid for some of her legal expenses was brought to a judge. It was dealt with in the context of the case and the judge heard the arguments and said it does not impinge on her credibility. So that part of it also has been credible,” she added.“None of this is new. We've known about this for years and the judge dealt with these same allegations in the course of this case,” she pointed out. - YouTube youtu.be
