Focus said absolutely not, and instead sped up the whole thing to cram the song into the time they had, which gives you this delightful mess of a performance.

This so bad. They're cheering for the chickenpox.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

I'm so glad to be home.

Look, I like my friend, but she NEVER SHUTS UP.
It's like she's afraid her brain might fall out of her head if she stops talking for more than 30 seconds.

I'm gonna be surrounded by silence until tomorrow and I'm so glad. No music. No videos
Just....silence.

This sounds like the set up for a Peter Sellers “Pink Panther” story

🚨 When I make a mistake, I own it. There WAS an arrest made yesterday at an Alabama protest. That arrest is duly noted.

Welcome to WI!
It gets colder. Sorry.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

NEWS

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile meeting on Friday, warning Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree.

The meeting between the two descended many times into a “shouting match”, with Trump “cursing all the time.”
