A federal court recently ruled that only Congress could alter the name. So on Saturday, Trump’s name on the facade came down. It's not really a big deal, but activist podcaster Jim Acosta was live online when it came down. Acosta ridiculously likened it to the fall of the Berlin Wall. What a brickhead!]]>Sun, 14 Jun 2026 04:35:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[Communism]]><![CDATA[Congress]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Jim Acosta]]><![CDATA[Washington]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/06/14/jim-acosta-trump-name-removed-kennedy-center-n2429226<![CDATA[This editor admits he was wrong when he first covered the Karmelo Anthony case in April of 2025, thinking that a black teen stabbing a white teen wouldn't be picked up by the media. He still hasn't seen a national outlet pick up on the case, but ever since Anthony was found guilty of murder this week and sentenced to 35 years in prison, The New York Post, local network affiliates, and now TMZ have decided the story is worth covering. As we've noted, TMZ seems to be getting more and more into politics, and even marks some of its videos "TMZ DC." Not shockingly, TMZ seems to be taking a liberal slant. They posted this video of Austin Metcalf's father, Jeff, attacking Anthony's family for being cowards and grifters. They don't show us where he's wrong, though.]]>Sat, 13 Jun 2026 18:00:32 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Video]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/06/13/tmz-austin-metcalfs-father-attacks-karmelo-anthonys-parents-as-cowards-n2429206<![CDATA[As Twitchy happily reported earlier this week, World Cup tourists like Freddy from Germany and Shaun from Scotland are documenting their way across the South and sharing the American wonders of barbecue, Buc-ee's, and Beaver Nuggets. CNN even did a segment of Freddy, with sports analyst Christine Brennan telling Wolf Blitzer she saw some conversation about "how the rest of the world is looking at the United States and feeling that we are — it's a foreboding image and that we are inhospitable."

Stephen Ogilvie suffered severe injuries: he lost his left eye, experienced severe damage to his right eye, and had slash wounds and lacerations to his face and neck. He was hospitalized in serious but stable condition.

Voters have made up their minds that they're going to vote blue no matter who, so they can take back the Senate and tend to their priorities, which include impeaching President Donald Trump and not much else.]]>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:00:54 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Graham Platner]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/06/11/ryan-grim-republicans-look-silly-when-nazi-tattoo-turns-out-not-to-be-a-swastika-n2429149<![CDATA[The media's "Republicans pounce" spin is always as predictable as the sun rising in the east, and the Graham Platner allegations (and his admissions) are no different.&nbsp;]]>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:56:12 -0400<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/06/11/abc-news-journo-reports-susan-collins-has-pounced-on-the-platner-allegations-and-about-that-tattoo-n2429138<![CDATA[Despite all we've learned about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, the Democrats continue to stand behind him while applying 50 SPF sunscreen so they don't get burned by the glaring hypocrisy.&nbsp;]]>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 09:25:08 -0400<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/06/11/ny-times-me-too-reporter-went-to-great-lengths-to-explain-why-the-platner-allegations-are-different-n2429130<![CDATA[‘Journalists’ are so predictable, especially when it comes to them writing about President Donald Trump. In other words, we saw their latest flip-flop (belly flop?) coming from miles away. Months ago, the hacks at The Washington Post were whining that Trump’s much-needed renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was going to ruin visitors’ enjoyment of the watery wonder. WaPo said the blue-tinted sealant would make it resemble a swimmers’ ‘lap pool.’ Fast-forward to now, and they’re calling it a waste of money and lying that it looks as nasty as it did before Trump’s upgrade.]]>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 23:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]><![CDATA[Washington]]><![CDATA[Washington Post]]><![CDATA[America 250]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/06/10/wapo-april-trump-reflecting-pool-renovation-distort-visitor-experience-lap-pool-now-waste-looks-the-same-n2429083<![CDATA[Newsweek has decided to weigh in on the Karmelo Anthony guilty verdict, and from its post, we can tell it's going to be the stupidest take we've seen yet.

Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. But what about the conservatives who are busy conserving conservatism over at The Bulwark? What was their take?

In reality, though, we all knew the choices were slim that a Republican could prevail in such a deep-blue city. What no one saw — not even the candidate herself — was Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman moving from a distant third-place Election Day showing to the runoff after mail-in ballots favored her overwhelmingly, even over Karen Bass. Raman had even conceded the race on Tuesday night because turnout for her was so poor.]]>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 22:00:44 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Karen Bass]]><![CDATA[Los Angeles]]><![CDATA[Spencer Pratt]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/06/09/rolling-stone-maga-thinks-fraud-is-the-only-way-a-republican-could-lose-in-los-angeles-n2429075<![CDATA[Maybe quoting the guy who introduced America to "fake but accurate" is why The Daily Beast left Dan Rather's name out of its piece about "a former CBS News veteran" and his reaction to Scott Pelley and two others being given the boot at CBS News.]]>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 20:30:15 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[60 Minutes]]><![CDATA[CBS News]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/06/09/daily-beast-dan-rather-shreds-brazen-maga-slant-of-60-minutes-n2429070<![CDATA[Look out, CNN! In a move that will "reverberate in American journalism history," CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss fired insubordinate combat veteran Scott Pelley after he claimed that she was murdering 60 Minutes. He went on to tell The New York Times that being fired felt like his spouse was being murdered.

Apparently, Americans, and more specifically Texans, have a narrow definition of masculinity according to the U.K. writer. It’s hilarious that the leftists at The Atlantic think a drinker of English tea knows what constitutes a man better than the rugged Lone Star State voters who subsist on Texas Tea (oil, that is).]]>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 03:49:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[GOP]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Texas]]><![CDATA[The Atlantic]]><![CDATA[Transgender]]><![CDATA[James Talarico]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/06/09/atlantic-article-james-talarico-masculinity-uk-writer-n2429042<![CDATA[With President Donald Trump’s walkout of Kristen Welker’s unhinged interrogation still fresh in our minds, Twitchy favorite MAZE reminds us that Sunday’s flare-up isn’t the first for the NBC ‘News’ star.

As our own Doug Powers reported earlier, The New York Times gave Pelley space to tell his story on Sunday, and he revealed that one of the breaking points came after the shooting death of Renee Good. In an email, Weiss had apparently told correspondents that they needed to describe Goode as driving toward the officer; in other words, report the story correctly.]]>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:30:03 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[60 Minutes]]><![CDATA[Bari Weiss]]><![CDATA[CBS News]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/06/08/scott-pelley-nearly-tears-up-recalling-being-in-combat-for-this-country-n2429030
