The United States is more energy-dominant than ever before. We lead the world in oil and gas production, producing more than at any other time in history. Yet the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz proves that energy dominance doesn’t protect us entirely from global shocks. The ultimate energy dominance is energy sovereignty, which requires […]
Rock star Bruce Springsteen used his May 27 performance at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. to deliver a searing six-minute critique of Donald Trump — and announced plans to return to Donald Trump's backyard in October for a major "Power to the People" music festival designed as an explicit show of resistance ahead of Election Day.The legendary rock star told the cheering crowd to direct their message toward the White House before leading an "ICE Out Now!" chant, signaling his opposition to the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies, according to NJArts.Performing alongside The E Street Band, Springsteen revealed plans for what he called "another night of music and resistance" on October 3 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland."In the future, we want to keep raising our voices for hope and justice, together," Springsteen announced. "[Rage Against The Machine's] Tom Morello and I will be back again here in D.C. on Oct. 3 for another night of music and resistance. The first-ever Power to the People Festival will be announced to the world, tomorrow. But you're hearing about it first, here, tonight!"The festival will feature an all-star lineup including Morello (who is overseeing the event), Dave Matthews, The Foo Fighters, and The Dropkick Murphys. Springsteen said he will make guest appearances and perform several songs with Morello and his band."We encourage you to come out and make a goddamn ruckus along with us," Springsteen told the crowd.According to the Power to the People Festival website, the one-day event is billed as "a celebration of peace, love, justice, music and community action" designed to demonstrate "the power everyday human beings have when they come together — through music, art, community and action — to shape our country and our planet on, and beyond, Election Day."The festival description emphasizes its non-partisan positioning while making clear its focus on mobilizing citizens around issues of justice and community action heading into the critical November elections.Springsteen's announcement comes on the heels of some acts who were supposed to appear at the Trump-friendly Great American State Fair announcing they are pulling out.Bruce Springsteen ends a six-minute, anti-Trump speech by yelling: “Let them hear you in the f——— White House!” pic.twitter.com/DkHmbx29lV— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) May 28, 2026
Cracks are beginning to show in the MAGA-linked "Freedom 250" festival, an event billed as marking the country's 250th anniversary featuring a number of musical performers of all genres and backgrounds, as artists uncomfortable with the event's increasingly politicized direction begin to exit.The trouble began with Morris Day, who denied any involvement with the event despite having been advertised as being in the lineup, according to Bring Me The News.The famed Minneapolis star was posted in the line-up for the multi-day festival on Washington, D.C.'s National Mall. Other acts included Milli Vanilli, Vanilla ICE and Flo Rida," according to the report. However, after his name appeared on promotional material, Day took to social media to say, “Contrary to rumor: Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the Great American State Fair.”It is unclear whether he was ever formally booked to the event in the first place.Day's disavowal was followed closely by Young MC, the rap star behind "Bust a Move," who had also been featured in promotional images for the event."I HAVE INFORMED MY AGENTS THAT I WILL NOT BE PERFORMING AT THE FREEDOM 250 EVENT," wrote Young MC on Facebook. "The artists were never told about any political involvement with the event. And despite the claims by the organizers that the event is non-partisan, SPIN magazine describes it as "Trump-backed". I hope to perform in D.C. in the near future at an event that is not so politically charged."
