Actor Harrison Ford criticized President Trump, expressing alarm over the president’s climate change policies, labeling them as driven by “whims”. Ford condemned Trump’s actions, citing “ignorance, hubris, lies, and perfidy,” and calling him a criminal in history. Ford remained optimistic, however, believing that collective efforts could mitigate climate change and drive innovation despite a lack of political will. The interview occurred before Ford’s Field Museum appearance where he received a conservation award and continues his history of criticizing Trump.

Comedian Andrew Schulz voiced his disappointment with President Trump’s actions during a recent podcast, criticizing him for seemingly reversing course on campaign promises. Specifically, Schulz cited the increase in national debt, continued funding of foreign wars, and the denial of a Jeffrey Epstein client list as examples of policies he did not support. The podcast host, who previously voted for Trump, expressed feeling betrayed as Trump’s actions contradicted his stated goals. Schulz also mocked Trump’s response to questions about the Epstein case, suggesting a cover-up and expressing frustration that the intelligence community and the Trump administration appeared to be hiding information.

Following Zohran Mamdani’s primary win, several prominent labor unions, including 32BJ SEIU and the Hotel and Games Trade Council, withdrew their endorsements of former Governor Andrew Cuomo to support Mamdani for the general election. These unions, along with the New York State Nurses Association, represent a combined workforce of 267,000 workers. Labor leaders see Mamdani as representing an optimistic vision and are mobilizing to counter potential attacks from opponents, including Cuomo and other establishment figures. Despite facing a challenging political landscape, Mamdani’s supporters believe they can overcome the opposition and enact a working-class agenda. This shift in endorsements reflects a broader desire for change and a rejection of the status quo.

Initially hesitant to overtly criticize Donald Trump, Bruce Springsteen gradually escalated his political commentary, culminating in endorsements for Kamala Harris and condemnations of the Trump administration. His Broadway residency marked a turning point in his outspokenness, and he ultimately delivered a powerful anti-Trump message at the opening night of his European tour. He denounced the current administration as “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous,” urging the audience to fight authoritarianism and uphold democratic values. Springsteen’s evolution reflects a shift from prioritizing entertainment to actively using his platform for political engagement.

Actor Harrison Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the US presidential election, releasing three videos as part of the Harris-Walz campaign. The Star Wars and Indiana Jones actor communicated his frustrations about division in the country and the perceived embracing of global dictators under President Trump.

In the lead-up to the presidential election, former President Donald Trump has criticised actress Julia Roberts for her endorsement of his political opponent, Kamala Harris. Roberts narrated a Vote Common Good advertisement, urging women to vote for Harris regardless of their partners’ preferences.

The commercial features two women casting their votes for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, while their husbands look on. The backlash from Trump occurs as Harris concludes a $370 million media campaign.

Ted Cruz’s political existence has always been a series of bizarre dramas, but the latest twist in the narrative—his opponent Colin Allred being endorsed by the *Dallas Morning News*—is nothing short of poetic justice. For those of us who have watched from afar, the idea that Texas’ largest newspaper is publicly distancing itself from Cruz’s brand of divisive politics is both thrilling and necessary. The newspaper isn’t alone; Allred has garnered endorsements from major Texas publications like the *Houston Chronicle* and *San Antonio Express-News*. These endorsements, while somewhat symbolic in today’s media landscape, signal a significant shift in public sentiment, especially when framed against the backdrop of Cruz’s past misdeeds.… Continue reading
When I first read the headline about a man buying a Taylor Swift-signed guitar at an auction for $4000 and then promptly destroying it, my initial reaction was one of confusion and disbelief. Why would someone go to such lengths to make a political statement by destroying a perfectly good guitar that could have been enjoyed by someone who truly appreciates music and Taylor Swift’s artistry? The reasoning provided by a spokesperson for Ellis County Wild Game that the action was meant to show disapproval of entertainers trying to influence politics seems shallow and lacking in substance.
The idea that individuals in the entertainment industry should stay out of politics is not only outdated but also inherently flawed.… Continue reading
