Donald Trump Blasts Judge As A “Devil” And Justice System As “Rigged” In Speech After Guilty Verdict
Updated: Donald Trump seized on coverage of the historic guilty verdicts in his hush money trial to blast the judge as a “devil” and claim that the proceedings were rigged.
“If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” Trump said at the outset of his speech, carried across cable news networks.
As he has done throughout the proceedings, he used superlatives to describe what has happened, this time calling it “fascist.”
From the same Trump Tower lobby where he first announced his presidential bid nine years ago, Trump alternated between his campaign talking points and many of the lines that he often recited in his many appearances during breaks in the Manhattan court proceedings.
“This is a scam. It’s a rigged trial. It shouldn’t have been at that venue. We shouldn’t have had that judge,” Trump said, against the backdrop of American flags.

Donald Trump faced a tough crowd Saturday night. The former president received loud boos and sneers from the Libertarian National Convention. “Become ungovernable,” a screen behind Trump read during his speech, and ungovernable they were, prompting Trump to mock them in return.
“Maybe you don’t want to win,” Trump told the crowd after they booed when he told them to nominate him or vote for him. “Keep getting your 3 percent every four years,” he added, referring to the Libertarian Party’s less than stellar showings in prior elections.

Odesa, Ukraine — The American Century is ending, with external adversaries outmaneuvering the United States in critical strategic contests worldwide, while internal extremists destroy American leadership.
Whether one believes — as American officials say they do — that the purpose of U.S. power is to enforce a “rules-based” liberal international order and defend human rights, or whether one believes — as Russian President Vladimir Putin and his friends say they do — that the U.S. uses its espoused ideals as cover for rapacious empire-building, it’s clear Washington is capable of doing neither effectively.

Tommy Tuberville has finally found an ally in his war against the Pentagon: Mike Lee. On Friday, the Republican senator from Utah tweeted out a defense of his colleague from Alabama, who has been holding months-long one-man embargo against critical military promotions for months. Lee even called for Republicans to “de-fund” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and to “cut Pentagon funding.”

Live Nation president and CFO Joe Berchtold provided an update on the Department of Justice’s investigation into the company and its affiliated ticketing service, Ticketmaster, saying that he believes the DOJ is investigating certain business practices at the company, rather than the merged company itself.
“Our fundamental business model is not really being questioned,” Berchtold said Tuesday, adding that this is his opinion based on what he’s heard.
Speaking at Goldman Sach’s Communacopia and Technology Conference, Berchtold said he believes the DOJ is looking into certain components that make up the business, such as exclusivity on venues, all-in pricing and selling tickets on the secondary market. This came amid media reports that the DOJ is conducting an antitrust investigation into whether Live Nation, with its acquisition of Ticketmaster, had a monopoly over the industry.
The investigation came on the heels of technical issues and long wait times...

For days, heavy rains have mired the annual Burning Man festival in thick mud in the remote desert of Black Rock City, Nevada, stranding tens of thousands of attendees who nonetheless struggled to keep the party going. At least one person has died, and organizers announced yesterday that the traditional closing ceremony — in which the titular effigy is set ablaze — would be postponed from Sunday to Monday.

Nothing goes better with the new Taylor Swift album than a little bit of snitching. At least, that’s what the FBI Washington Field wants you to think, based on a recent tweet the organization put out.
Taking timely cues from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), the FBI shared an image Monday that appears to riff on Miss Swift’s latest release, boasting a faux tracklist in shades of purple reminiscent of the album art. But these so-called “tracks” have some interesting titles: “Terrorism (FBI’s Version),” “Cybercrime (FBI’s Version),” and “Weapons of Mass Destruction (FBI’s Version),” to name a few.
“Justice is better than revenge. You may not be Superman, but you can help the #FBI protect the country,” the caption baited, telling readers to “speak now” if they have information about a crime before closing with the organization’s contact information.

Update: The Senate cleared the debt ceiling bill late on Thursday, the final hurdle for the U.S. to avoid default on its debt with a deadline approaching in just a matter of days.
The bill, which passed 63-36, now goes to President Joe Biden. It ends the most precarious standoff over the debt limit since 2011. Forty four Democrats, 17 Republicans and two independents voted in favor; four Democrats, 31 Republicans and one independent voted against.
“Senators from both parties voted to protect our heard-earned economic progress and prevent a first-ever default,” Biden said. “No one gets everything they want in a negotiation, but make no mistake: this bipartisan agreement is a big win for our economy and the American people.”
The president is planning an Oval Office address at 7 p.m. Et on Friday.
Senate leaders issued a statement saying that the legislation would not limit their ability to appropriate emergency funds for the military.

In a 314-117 majority vote on Wednesday night, the House approved a bill to suspend the federal debt ceiling through January of 2025. The vote took place just days before the June 5 deadline for the government to free up funds lest the United States be unable to pay off its debt obligations, and potentially plunge the economy into crisis.

Over an hour into Tuesday’s Senate judiciary hearing on competition in the music industry, Sen. Richard Blumenthal sardonically “congratulated and thanked” Live Nation Entertainment president and CFO Joe Berchtold for the “absolutely stunning achievement” of unifying Republicans and Democrats over a policy matter. The glue for such cooperation? The vitriol and concern they all have over the ticketing industry and with Live Nation Entertainment, the parent company of the eponymous concert promoter and of ticketing giant Ticketmaster.

In the wake of the Taylor Swift ticketing debacle, U.S. Senators took aim at Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation, with many arguing that it’s a monopoly that should be broken up.
Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) led the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, entitled “That’s the Ticket: Promoting Competition and Protecting Consumers in Live Entertainment.” Klobuchar and Lee were specifically focused on whether Live Nation had violated its consent decree, a set of conditions and divestitures Live Nation and Ticketmaster agreed to when they merged in order to ensure competition.
The hearing follows the Taylor Swift ticket presale on Ticketmaster on Nov. 15, in which fans experienced long wait times and site outages during the Verified Fan presale and the Capital One pre-sale the next day.

Update: The Senate passed a bill to protect same-sex and interracial marriage rights at the federal level, drawing bipartisan support for legislation likely to clear Congress and be signed by President Joe Biden.
The Supreme Court advanced marriage equality in several landmark decisions over the past 55 years, but the court’s decision in June to reverse Roe vs. Wade has raised fears that other precedents may also be in jeopardy.
“The first people I will call when this bill passes is my daughter and her wife,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the floor of the Senate before the final vote. After members clapped when the final roll call was announced, Schumer said, “What a great day.”
The bill, the Respect for Marriage Act, cleared the Senate 61-36, with Democrats joined by 12 Republicans in support. The GOP members included Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia,...

Members of Congress are now turning their gaze to the Federal Trade Commission, following the Taylor Swift ticketing debacle at Ticketmaster.
U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission Tuesday asking the agency how it plans to combat “the use and operation of bots in the online ticket marketplace.” Blackburn and Blumenthal sponsored the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, which was signed into law in 2016, and is meant to prohibit scalpers from using software to purchase high volumes of tickets, but has been rarely used, according to the Senators.
“While bots may not be the only reason for these problems, which Congress is evaluating, fighting bots is an important step in reducing consumer costs in the online ticketing industry,” the letter states.

The Senate passed legislation to extend health and disability benefits to millions of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of military engagement.
The 86-11 vote came after Republicans blocked the legislation last week, with a number of the lawmakers having previously supported it when it came before the Senate in June.
Jon Stewart, a longtime advocate for the veterans, blasted the opposition, speaking at rallies on Capitol Hill multiple times over the past week and making a series of media appearances on network Sunday shows, Fox News and Newsmax. Stewart was in the chamber for the Senate vote, and hugged veterans after it passed.
The bill, the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act (or the Pact Act), is designed to address the inability of veterans to access healthcare as they reported a range of illnesses. It now goes to President Joe Biden for signing.

A group of Republican senators is calling for a TV ratings system to warn parents about LGBTQ content in children’s programs. Their statement singles out Disney repeatedly.
GOP Senators Roger Marshall (Kan.), Mike Lee (Utah), Mike Braun (Ind.), Steve Daines (Mont.) and Kevin Cramer (N.D.) sent a letter to Charles Rivkin, Chairman of the TV Guidelines Ratings Board — the entity that manages and monitors the designations on programs such as TV-y, TV-14, TV-ma, etc.
The missive begins, “In recent years, concerning topics of a sexual nature have become aggressively politicized and promoted in children’s programming, including irreversible and harmful experimental treatments for mental disorders like gender dysphoria.”
It continues, “Considering that the cognitive markers of sexual desire emerge during puberty when adolescents undergo natural hormonal and physiological changes, it is wholly inappropriate to display this content in a TV-Y7 category and for other young audiences.”

The Senate voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on Thursday, clearing the way for her to become the first Black woman to serve on the high court.
The vote was 53-47, reflecting the increasing partisan divisions over recent confirmations of nominees to the bench. Three Republicans — Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney — joined with all members of the Democratic caucus to confirm her.
Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the vote, a rare event in which all members were present in their seats during the roll call. After she announced the final tally, the chamber erupted into sustained applause. Many Republican left the chamber during the ovation, but Romney stayed and clapped.
Major broadcast networks provided special reports of the moment, in addition to cable news networks. There was a moment of some drama, as senators waited for Sen. Rand Paul (R-ky) to show up.

Georgia was one of the most reliable conservative strongholds in the nation before it voted for President Joe Biden last November and then, two months later, a pair of Democratic senators. The state’s still-very-Republican legislature has since been doing all it can to make sure this never happens again, and last month passed a restrictive new voting law aimed squarely at discouraging people from participating in democracy. People aren’t happy. Neither are a lot of pretty prominent corporations. Coca-Cola and Delta, both based with their corporate headquarters in Atlanta,...

The latest Senate hearing facing the CEOs of Twitter and Facebook played out as expected: Republicans complained that the platforms were too aggressive in their moderation practices; Democrats suggested that they have been too lenient to control the flow of misinformation.
That was particularly true as Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-ca), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, queried Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about President Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the election and of mass voter fraud.
“On November 7th, President Trump tweeted this, ‘I won this election by a lot.’ That is obviously not true. President Trump lost the election. The warning label that Twitter applied to the tweet says, ‘Official sources may not have called the race when this was tweeted. Does that label do enough to prevent the tweet’s harms when the tweet is still visible and is not accurate?...

President Trump marked his impeachment acquittal with what he called a “celebration” on Thursday by weaving an hour-long speech with rally-esque boasting, shout-outs to loyalists and a dark listing of grievances.
“This is a day of celebration because we went through hell,” Trump said during a gathering in the White House’s East Room filled with Republican members of Congress and other supporters.
After receiving a standing ovation Trump said, “We’ve all been through a lot together, and we probably deserve that hand for all of us because it...

With broadcast and cable networks carrying his speech live, President Donald Trump referred to the Russia investigation as “bullsh*t” as he held a victory lap “celebration” of his impeachment acquittal, telling supporters gathered in the East Room of the White House that he was the victim of a “witch hunt.”
“We first went through Russia, Russia, Russia. It was all bullsh*t,” he said of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Impeachment was about Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. On Wednesday, the Senate acquitted Trump of charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, falling far short of the two-thirds majority necessary to convict.
In his speech, Trump said that “we went through hell, unfairly, did nothing wrong, did nothing wrong.”

Mike Lee, a Republican senator from Utah, has joined forces with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders to place a check on President Donald Trump’s ability to escalate military hostilities with Iran.
Lee is now a co-sponsor of legislation introduced by Sanders after last week’s strike on Soleimani. The bill would halt funding for further military action initiated by President Donald against Iran without approval from Congress.

“Some days the news is frustrating,” said The Late Show host Stephen Colbert in tonight’s monologue. “And by some days, I mean every day for the last three years.” Today was no different, as Colbert noted, “I’m really irked. Trump is really irking me off.”
Now that it’s been a couple of days since “The Iran almost-war, the world’s sphincter is finally unclenching,” Colbert said. “Now the question is: is any of this legal? The administration says yes: They were heading off an imminent attack. But so far, Trump hasn’t provided any evidence of that.”
Administration briefers gave members of Congress a classified review of their findings. Not everyone was impressed, topped by Utah Sen. Mike Lee was particularly incensed, calling it “probably the worst briefing I’ve seen in the nine years I’ve been in the Senate.”

Mike Lee is ticked off.
The Republican senior senator from Utah emerged from a classified briefing by the Trump administration on the conflict with Iran denouncing it as, “The worst briefing I’ve seen, at least on a military issue, in the nine years I’ve served in the United States Senate.”
The briefing was intended to inform senators about Trump’s order to assassinate General Qasem Soleimani last week, which in turn sparked a missile attack on Iraqi bases used by U.S. forces. “What we were told, over and over again,...

The Senate passed a bill Tuesday reauthorizing the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. The vote was 97-2, with only Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) objecting to extending the fund, which offers health care compensation to survivors and first responders, beyond its previously scheduled expiration in 2020. The House of Representatives passed the bill overwhelmingly earlier this month, which means it will now move to President Trump’s desk, where he is expected to make the extension official.
Few people were happier than Jon Stewart, who has long advocated for 9/11 survivors.

If you’ve been keeping up to date on video game film adaptations, then there’s a good chance you’re already familiar with Detective Pikachu. This joint collaboration between Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures and The Pokémon Company is a first for the ever-popular franchise, which has already seen plenty of animated movies modeled after the long-running TV show.
While critics took issue with the overall plot and characters – a sentiment shared by our very own Mike Lee – it’s hard to deny Detective Pikachu‘s success at the box office. Longtime Pokémon fans (myself included) were pleased with how the lovable creatures looked on screen, and it should come as no surprise that Legendary announced a sequel is already in development. The follow-up is probably a few years away, but if you’ve been hankering to give Detective Pikachu another watch, we got some good news for you.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers from the episode of “Jeopardy!” airing Monday, June 3.
James Holzhauer’s 32-game winning streak ended on Monday’s episode of “Jeopardy!” — along with his chance at breaking Ken Jennings’ all-time winnings record of $2,520,700.
The final nail in Holzhauer’s coffin — or rather, two — came well before Final Jeopardy.
It all started when the day’s winner, Emma Boettcher, a librarian from Chicago, got the first Daily Double in the game show’s second round.

The answer was this: “It’s home to the annual United States sailboat show.

The Senate on Thursday voted in favor of a resolution to “terminate” President Trump’s national emergency declaration. The vote marks a stunning bipartisan rebuke of the president, who last month used his executive privilege to circumvent Congress and fund the construction of a wall along the southern border. Though the Gop holds a 53-47 advantage over Democrats in the Senate, the measure passed by a vote of 59-41, with 12 members of Trump’s own party voting against him.

I recently received an invitation to a Jan. 5 wedding, and my first thought was “Are they insane? Why are they getting married on Golden Globes weekend?”
Then I realized that not everyone in the world centers their lives around awards season. I slowly came to a more shocking realization: Maybe I’ve gotten a little too showbiz for my own good.
When I thought about it, I found other dismaying evidence to back this up.

The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court battle has turned into one of the most contentious nominations in our nation’s history. President Trump’s nominee has been accused of past sexual assaults and of being dishonest before the Senate.
Despite testimony by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote on September 28th. Following an unaccountably incomplete investigation by the FBI, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared a key procedural hurdle, setting up a final vote this weekend.

Poor Brett Kavanaugh has been abused, maligned, mistreated — and the only way to rectify the wrongs that have been visited upon Trump’s Supreme Court nominee is to give him a lifetime appointment. That was the message Senate Republicans sent to their base on Thursday in a hastily arranged press conference delivered as their colleagues read the findings of a hastily prepared FBI background investigation into the allegations against Kavanaugh.

Living and breathing right alongside the hair-raising scares in Ari Aster's Hereditary is an intriguing set of characters, including the Graham household itself. Built specifically for Aster's film, the Graham home's layout and lighting make the horrors of Hereditary all the more immersive, and to celebrate the movie's June 8th release from A24, Daily Dead spoke with production designer Grace Yun about the film's visual influences, collaborating creatively with Aster, and the home's integral role in the movie's unsettling story.
(Director) Ari Aster spent years developing Hereditary before it ever got the green light, and he put together an incredible creative team to bring his vision to life. What was your first introduction to Ari Aster and Hereditary?
Grace Yun: I got the script from my agent and obviously loved it. I loved the Greek tragedy dynamic feeling of it in the beginning, and then how it just really went into full-gear horror.
