Americans changed their news consumption habits years ago, but the White House press briefing room did not reflect those changes—until now.  Despite floundering ratings at CNN and MSNBC, and outlets like The Washington Post hemorrhaging readership and revenues, corporate media was long given deference across Washington, D.C., especially at the White House. But now, with the Trump administration’s creation of the “new media chair,” and opening the press briefing room to podcasters and social media influencers, the White House briefing room is a better reflection of where American people actually consume their news.  Pew Research reports that 54% of Americans get their news from social media at least some of the time, and 27% of Americans said the same of podcasts.  While the legacy media might view the changes in the White House press briefing room as “MAGA,” it is likely a future Democrat administration would pull from President Donald Trump’s playbook. Granted, a Democrat White House is more likely, for example, to give “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper access to press briefings over conservative podcaster Tim Pool, but either way, nontraditional media are likely in the briefing room to stay.  On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” Gabriella Hoffman, director of the Center for Energy and Conservation at the Independent Women’s Forum, joins the show to discuss the changing media landscape.  Also on today’s show, Hoffman details the dark history of Earth Day and explains how conservatives can practice conservation without falling prey to the Left’s false environmentalist talking points. Plus, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2005 “Pride and Prejudice” film.  Enjoy the show!  The post Washington Finally Catching Up With America’s Media Consumption Habits, Thanks to Trump’s White House appeared first on The Daily Signal.

What is going on with Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? In the middle of oral arguments Tuesday, she asked a question that was irrelevant for the key issue at hand, and that had clearly been answered less than an hour before she asked it. Was she lying, just stalling for time, or did she simply pay no attention to the testimony before her very eyes? The case, Mahmoud v. Taylor, involves Maryland parents of various faith backgrounds—Christian, Jewish, and Muslim—asking the court for a temporary injunction, allowing them to opt their kids out of instruction using LGBTQ books that Montgomery County Public Schools has mandated schools teach. Early on in the oral arguments, Justice Clarence Thomas asked Eric Baxter, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty attorney representing the parents, whether the books are “just there” or “are they actually being taught out of the books.” “We know that the teachers are required to use the books,” Baxter replied. “When the books were first introduced in August of 2022, the board suggested they be used five times before the end of the year.” He noted that one of the schools said teachers would read one book each day during Pride Month. “The board’s own testimony, through [Chief Academic Officer Nikki] Hazel, said that the books must be used as part of the instruction,” he added. “That was the entire point of withdrawing the opt-outs and removing even notifying parents,” Baxter said. “The board said, in that statement, it was so that every student would be taught from the inclusivity story books.” None of this was a secret. Baxter cited evidence—transcripts and exhibits submitted to the court—demonstrating that teaching the books was a requirement. The Maryland LGBTQ book case before the Supreme Court?? is not just about the presence of books in a library.@becketfund attorney @esbax explains that the school board has required teachers to discuss the books in school.https://t.co/Ekbm92o9Da pic.twitter.com/ymBM4vlHRC— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) April 22, 2025 My colleagues and I at The Daily Signal have been reporting on this case for years, and it has always been clear that Montgomery County Public Schools required teachers to use the books in class. So, what did Justice Jackson ask? She noted that the parents are seeking a preliminary injunction—a court order forcing the school district to allow parents to opt their kids out of the LGBTQ book lessons. In order to get an injunction, Jackson explained, “you actually have to have a factual record that is the basis for the court to make a determination in your favor that some conduct that you’re complaining about needs to be enjoined. And what’s confusing to me and hard—really hard—in this situation, is that we have a lot of sincerely held beliefs and concerns and children and principles, and I see all of those things and so really want to be careful about making the pronouncement.” “I don’t understand how we can do it on this record, because we can’t know—we don’t, at this moment, based on the record you’ve provided, know—that these books aren’t just sitting on the shelves,” the Supreme Court justice said (emphasis added). Baxter, naturally, tried to set the record straight. “I disagree, your honor,” he said. “The record is undisputed, and I again will refer you to district court transcript…” Jackson cut him off, asking if he thought the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals was wrong to write, “We don’t have any information about how any teacher or school employee has actually used any of the books.” Baxter replied that “the Court of Appeals did not dispute that some of the books have to be used, and we have all of…” Jackson, again cutting him off, said the appeals court ruled “that we don’t know ‘what any child has been taught in conjunction with their use.'” She then proceeded to badger Baxter, asking, “So, are you saying that you do have affidavits and information about teachers in the classroom and what they’ve taught children of different ages about these books?” “Yes, we do,” he replied. “All of our clients have, in their declarations, they describe which books were going to be read to their children.” She cut him off a third time, asking, “Were the clients in the classroom?” After admitting that the parents were not in the classroom, Baxter added, “We don’t have to wait until the injury has happened to get relief.” Wow.Like the dog returning to its vomit, so Justice Jackson returns to this idea that "we don't know that these books aren't just sitting on the shelves."The Montgomery County Public Schools policy couldn't be clearer—the kids must be taught these books. When @becketfund… pic.twitter.com/BExNVBpDbG— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) April 22, 2025 That is the key point here, and why Jackson’s question is a classic red herring distraction from the main argument. The school district requiring the instruction of LGBTQ books, without a possibility for parents to opt their kids out of the instruction, represents a forced indoctrination into stances on sexuality that conflict with Christian, Jewish, and Muslim tradition—at young ages. The same district allows an opt-out for sexuality instruction, but claims that the LGBTQ books are exempt because they will be taught as literature. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty submitted evidence that some Montgomery County Public Schools teachers had indeed taught from some of the books in class. Even if they hadn’t, Jackson’s question would still be immaterial—the issue is that the policy requires teachers to use them in class, without the opportunity for kids to opt out. The policy, unless it is enjoined, threatens to cause irreparable harm by indoctrinating kids away from their family’s faith. By bringing up the issue of books remaining on the shelves—and by dismissing “sincerely held beliefs and concerns and children and principles”—Jackson suggests that the parents’ concerns are illegitimate. Perhaps Jackson and the other liberal justices on the court are trying to obscure the issue because they agree with the school board, which accused the parents of using their religious beliefs to justify hate. ?Religious parents were clearly targeted in the Montgomery County Public Schools case before the Supreme Court, @becketfund attorney @esbax explains."Families from Muslim faith?? and Ethiopian Orthodox?? were objecting when they spoke to the board. The board accused them of… pic.twitter.com/ie18NqNFMZ— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) April 22, 2025 Such accusations aren’t exactly new. As left-leaning teachers pushed gender ideology and critical race theory in schools in 2021, parents increasingly spoke out. When Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education organized to represent this growing movement, the Southern Poverty Law Center put them on a “hate map” with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan to demonize them into silence. When parents complain about sexually explicit material in school libraries, the SPLC and its allies accuse them of trying to “ban books.” Jackson’s red herring echoes that argument. The key issue, in both cases, is an attempt to push sexual indoctrination that is unfit for children and violates their families’ religious faith. This isn’t a matter of supporting or opposing books or basic literacy—it’s a controversy about the Left using sex to drive a wedge between parents and children, at ever earlier ages. When I posted the video of Ketanji Brown Jackson on X, many users commented that Baxter made the Supreme Court justice look dumb. I agree—but I don’t think the issue is Jackson’s intelligence. I think she was twisting herself in knots to deny the obvious indoctrination at the heart of this case, and Baxter wasn’t letting her get away with it.

In the wake of longtime Illinois Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin announcing his retirement Wednesday, politicians are looking back on the 80-year-old Senate minority whip’s tenure and also looking ahead to who will replace him. “In my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking reelection at the end of my term,” Durbin said. Durbin, who has served as a senator from Illinois since 1997, and a member of the House for 14 years before that, has long been a hard-nosed Democrat fighter. The five-term senator steered his caucus on decisions such as blocking a COVID-19 relief package in the middle of the 2020 election season, and killing a bill that would have prohibited transgender athletes in federally funded school athletic programs. A recent example of compromise, however, was his vote for a stopgap funding bill in March to keep the government open. The decision of Senate Democrat leadership to back the Republican bill spurred backlash from some firebrand members of Durbin’s party. The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term. pic.twitter.com/eiBTPjToFT— Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) April 23, 2025 Former President Barack Obama, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., and other top Democrats sent kind wishes to Durbin on X after his announcement. Obama served with Durbin in the Senate from Illinois for nearly four years, from January 2005 to November 2008, when the former resigned ahead of becoming president. One Republican who sent his best wishes to Durbin was 91-year-old Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who wrote on X, “I’ll b sorry 2 see him retire from the Senate. Obviously he’s liberal & I’m conservative yet we hv a wonderful working relationship.” It’s no secret I enjoy working w Senator Durbin I’ll b sorry 2see him retire from the Senate Obviously he’s liberal & I’m conservative yet we hv a wonderful working relationship Take for example the first step act the 1st crim justice reform in a generation we got signed into law— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) April 23, 2025 Durbin’s retirement announcement comes in the wake of fellow Democrat Sens. Gary Peters of Michigan, Tina Smith of Minnesota, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire also deciding against seeking reelection next year. Republican voter-registration activist Scott Presler gloated about the latest exit on X, writing, “More than 1/3 of the Democrat senators up in 2026 are retiring. This is HUGE!” For some in the Democratic Party, Durbin’s exit suits their political goals. David Hogg, a Democratic National Committee vice chair, who has pushed for a projecting a more youthful party image and for primarying incumbents, thanked Durbin for stepping aside.  Senator Durbin co-authored the Dream Act, played an essential role in creating DACA, had a leading role in major criminal justice reform, and has been a key leader in taking on special interests.

(@davidhogg111) April 23, 2025 “Thank you for your incredible service to our country, your leadership, and for passing the torch to the next generation!” he wrote. Durbin’s announcement opens up an opportunity for other Illinois Democrats seeking to fill his soon-to-be vacant Senate seat. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., who raised millions of dollars amid the Durbin retirement speculation, touted his own public service when addressing Durbin’s announcement. “I will be honored to fight alongside him as we continue to deliver for Illinois,” he said in a statement. Democrat Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, who has reportedly sought Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s endorsement to replace Durbin, also may have signaled her intentions in her statement. “We’ll work hard to carry on his legacy of delivering real solutions for the middle class,” she said.

The infirmity of President Joe Biden during his time in office is one of the biggest scandals in American political history. Yet, despite the scale of the coverup, the biggest fiasco of the Biden presidency was not his poor health and mental state. It was how his administration fully leaned into the “great awokening” despite his campaign message of returning to normalcy. A report from The New York Times on Tuesday highlighted how Biden ultimately ceded ground to his left flank on issues such as forcing schools to allow men in women’s sports with little opposition despite his trepidation. The former president, who ran as some kind of moderate, barely performed the function of a speed bump to the Left’s desires. It’s that legacy Democrats and their media enablers will try to make you forget. With a chief executive essentially out on a four-year lid, the Left’s political machine worked on autopilot. They flooded the country with illegal aliens, completely circumventing the laws of our nation and creating a ginormous mess for the succeeding regime to deal with. They pushed DEI into the government. They forced transgender insanity onto K-12 campuses and Easter was used to celebrate a “Trans Day of Visibility.” They stumbled and bumbled aimlessly in foreign policy with no more of a strategy than to keep up the narrative that they were fighting for “democracy” against authoritarians while using government tools to silence their domestic opponents. All this while the president snoozed at the beach. As a result, Democrats were ultimately swept out of office and fell to their lowest popularity in the history of polling. However, despite being obviously so far gone, Biden lingers like old cigarette smoke clinging to a jacket. He emerged from the woodwork recently to make a bizarre and stuttering speech that simply reminded everyone about the chasm in energy levels between him and President Donald Trump. The Left just can’t make this problem go away, even if they want to. Some Democrats are trying to use Biden’s ill health to make excuses for their party’s failures while giving themselves the out that they had no idea Biden was in such bad shape. A clip that made the rounds this weekend of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., hemming and hawing on a podcast is very much worth watching. She very poorly tried to tell viewers that she was convinced that Biden was just fine until the moment before he dropped out of the election. This is a setup for the classic George Costanza defense of something not being a lie as long as you believe it. WATCH: Elizabeth Warren squirms as she is confronted on her defense of Joe Biden's mental fitness ahead of the 2024 election. pic.twitter.com/WVSagqvSIT— Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) April 22, 2025 “Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity, he had a sharpness to him?” podcast host Sam Fragoso asked Warren on Sunday. Fragoso noted that the Massachusetts senator maintained that line right up to the moment Biden dropped out of the race in July. “I said what I believe to be true,” Warren responded. “I said I had not seen decline and I hadn’t at that point.” Fragoso looked incredulous and didn’t let the issue go. He asked Warren if Biden was as sharp as herself to which she visibly held back laughter and knew that she was caught in the trap. As Warren began listing off such impressive Biden feats such as being “on his feet” and attending meetings, Fragoso interrupted. “‘On his feet’ is not praise,” Fragoso told Warren. “‘He can speak in sentences’ is not praise.” Warren responded, “fair enough.” Brutal. This dynamic between the press and Democrats is interesting and perhaps not all that it seems. Whereas up until the moment of Biden’s catastrophic presidential debate most legacy and leftwing media were still programmed to say that questions about Biden’s health were right wing conspiracies, they are now actually prodding Democrat politicians if the subject comes up at all. Don’t think for a moment this is because of some sudden commitment to journalistic integrity or anything like that. When it became clear that Biden was no longer useful and that he had become an outright impediment to the Left’s power they turned on him. What’s happening is that the media is going into a phony “mea culpa” mode to in part help Democrats pin their troubles entirely on Biden’s health and lack of energy rather than the Left’s policies and ideology. The reason Biden’s successor as candidate, former Vice President Kamala Harris, was torched by Trump in the 2024 election and that nearly every demographic shifted to the right was not just because Biden was a do-nothing president (though that certainly didn’t help). The issue was that Democrat ideas, their policies, and the cultural values they were foisting on the country were absolutely loathed. They embraced issues like defunding the police and forcing women’s sports leagues to admit biological men. On issue after issue, Democrats supported positions that were massively unpopular with Americans, though massively popular with elite institutions. Once the legacy media narrative machine really cracked there was a bottoming out for a Democratic Party that for too long had coasted on their institutional advantages. Now Democrats are locked into continuing support for those deeply unpopular issues despite some of the craftier members of the party trying to shift the rhetoric if not the policies. They are banking on Americans having memory loss, just like Biden, and convincing everyone that the previous president’s failures were an anomaly, that the country hadn’t fallen into a deep malaise that they caused, and that Trump is disrupting a political system that was working smoothly and efficiently with just a bit of trouble at the top. The media’s gaslighting and Democrat denials about Biden’s health were not the only problem, they were symptoms of a larger issue of America’s elite institutional corruption. Now that the corruption has been exposed to the American people, they are desperately trying to rewrite history.

The Funniest Bill I Have Heard Of

Warren Zeiders is an interesting character… On the one hand, the Hershey, Pennsylvania native has a decent, albeit oddly southern-sounding, voice, and the twang certainly seems to disappear in his interviews, but whatever, his music is…. fine. It’s not super pop, but it’s radio friendly, relatively palatable, rock-leaning country music. It’s definitely not the worst thing on country radio right now… But on the other hand, the dude just kinda seems like a cornball. The phony accent, always taking the shirt off and talking about what “the ladies” want, teasing the same 5-second clip of a song 75 times on TikTok while you drink whiskey in the shower… what are we doing? I’d be willing to bet Warren has never met a mirror he didn’t look into… And look, we shared his music WAY before he was anything on TikTok… when he was doing covers of Tyler Childers and Whiskey Myers in his bedroom. We were writing blogs on him before he was anybody, but it didn’t take long for him to kind of become this inauthentic, “way too into himself,” caricature of a country singer, before he ever even had a country music single, and the act was all too much for me. I’m out… I’m not alone… a lot of country music who may otherwise listen to his music are put off by his demeanor. “Cringe” is a word that gets thrown around a lot… look it up Warren’s name on any social media platform and you’ll see it. But make no mistake, the guy has garnered quite the audience on TikTok, has opened up for some big names, he’s selling tickets… good for him. I guess… If all of that introductory conversation was lost on you, here’s an example of the kind of behavior that seemingly makes people cringe. At a show in St. Augustine, Florida, last weekend, a fan was reportedly flipping Warren the bird. After flipping him off again back, he said: “You wanna flip me off again a**hole I’ll get you kicked out of the f***ing show. F*** me? F*** you, dude. I’m sorry your wife likes my f***ing show and you don’t.” @ms.hope147 #warrenzeiders #country #countrymusic #concerts #fy #fypage #fyp #fypシ゚viral ♬ original sound – Lisa Hope Later in the show he said: “Come to my show and you’re gonna flip me off, get the f*** out p**sy. @kayleo Don’t mess with WARREN! True PA man at heart! #warrenzeiders #zaddy#staugustinefl#fyp #foryoupage #2025 @Warren Zeiders ♬ original sound – Kay23 The man was reportedly removed the show. And while nobody wants to be flipped off from the crowd, and I don’t even really blame Warren for calling the fan out, the comments were still largely rather unkind to him: Warren Zeiders is the definition of a D Bag Uh oh we got Tommy tough knuckles over here Big man with a microphone and security I was at country concert in Fort Laramie Ohio and nobody was singing along to his songs. he complained about it and flipped off the crowd as he exited the stage. I’m literally shaking watching this. How scary Absolutely shaking In my boots what a tough guy Shiver me timbers Saw him this week in Clearwater and totally disappointed Charmin soft I’ve been playing Texas music circuit for 30 years. I could write a book on the cussing, drunks being mouthy, getting the finger, etc… over the years. Part of the business. Suck it up, and move on. That dude got lucky, he didn’t have to stay for the rest of this cry babies show He probably got flipped off because he’s terrible live. Awe he got in his feelings over a finger poor baby Wow lost a lot of respect for him. Egotistical is not cool. I can’t stand Warren Zeiders such an ass And there were a few supporting him: Handled like a boss. And never missed a beat! People shouldn’t disrespect others like that, he got what he deserved Never disrespect Warren he don’t take nobody’s crap So disrespectful!! I would be ashamed!!! This dude needs humbled. Saw him back before he was anything and he was great. Calling out a fan always makes from some fun headlines, and gives fans a little spice during the set, but should country artists have to put up with that? No. And should they just sit there and take it? No, not at all. In fact, I remember when Luke Bryan smacked some old guy in the front row of Charlie Daniels’ Volunteer Jam back in 2016. Luke was doing his signature hip shaking for a Charlie Daniels crowd, and you can imagine how that went over… some dude in the front flipped Luke the bird and Luke went over and gave him a little smack. I liked the fire from him… But for Warren, his response about “sorry your wife likes my show” isn’t exactly the burn that he thinks it is. While once again fueling up that ego machine, and referring to his looks, he’s essentially admitting dudes don’t like his music and women care more about his looks than his music. More of a “self own” if you ask me. Bounce the guy out of there, be my guest, but I can’t help but feel like the reaction was… once again… cringe.The post Warren Zeiders Goes Off On Fan Who Allegedly Flipped Him Off: “I’m Sorry Your Wife Likes My F***ing Show” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Jammin’ at an iconic Nashville dive. Ed Sheeran and Noah Kahan are turning the famous double-wide karaoke bar into a performance hall, posting up to sing a few songs for the crowd recently in Nashville. While this video is cool because it shows these two musicians coming together, it also confirms that Santa’s had no significant damage after the heavy rain Nashville and the surrounding areas got earlier this month. Since opening its doors in 2011, Santa’s Pub has had a cult following, and when bar patrons saw flood waters filling the parking lot, all the way to the stairs of the beer-only bar, they were heartbroken. @_davidalvarez Nashville floods #nashville #flood #floodwarning #fyp ♬ original sound – mister_twister_55 However, if Santa’s did have damage, they addressed it quickly and are back up and running. The dive bar, which sometimes attracts legends, was rocking the other night with Ed Sheeran and Noah Kahan stopping by for a jam session. According to Billboard, Sheeran shut down the bar for an intimate show, bringing along his friend Noah Kahan. The two were posted up in the middle of the bar for an acoustic set. The crowd sat intimately and listened to the two perform songs during the evening, which even included Sheeran performing an unreleased track called “Old Phone.” @billboard @Ed Sheeran shut down Santa’s Pub in Nashville for an intimate surprise performance with @Noah Kahan, which included his unreleased track “Old Phone” #edsheeran #livemusic #acoustic #guitar #noahkahan ♬ original sound – billboard While Sheeran recently shared on an episode of Call Her Daddy that he wants to move to Nashville and join the country music scene, this unreleased song sounds like his established sound, and he hasn’t yet made that transition. However, during that interview, Sheeran did note that to make the crossover successful, you have to take your time. It sounds like he’s in no rush to add a twang to his music and is focused on getting acclimated to the Nashville music scene right now. “I’ve made country songs in the past; they’ve just never come out. I have to do it properly, and once you transition to country, you can’t transition back. Once you’re there, you’re there.” Later in the night, Sheeran and Kahan turned the karaoke bar into a sing-along bar, as Kahan invited the crowd to sing along with him while he performed “Dial Drunk.” Kahan released a reimagined version of the song with Post Malone in 2023, but after hearing Sheeran on the track, I think another reimagination featuring him could be a hit as well. Check it out. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nashville Tennessee (@nashvilletn) Fire up a few other videos from the night while you’re here.

Not hiding his faith. Morgan Wallen is not afraid of his fans knowing that he’s a Christian, as he references Jesus and paints other religious messages into his lyrics. While Wallen can admit, and the general public can witness, he’s not a perfect person, he recently shared that he likes to incorporate it into his lyrics whenever possible. A fan account shared a screen recording to their page of Wallen walking about his latest single with Post Malone, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back.” Wallen shares in the video that he and Malone have been sitting on the single for a while, noting that it was up debate if it was going to go on Malone’s debut country record, but once they decided to release their last hit duet “I Had Some Help,” which turned out to essentially be the official summer banger of 2024, Wallen knew that he was going to share “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” on his record. “‘I Ain’t Comin’ Back’ with Post on it. This was written during the time when Post was working on his album. I’ve always loved this song, and I told him, ‘Hey, if you don’t put this on your album, then I’m gonna put it on mine.’ And ‘I Had Some Help’ just seemed like an obvious, straight down the middle, this song is a hit kind of song, so he ended up putting that on his record. But I love this song too. I love what it says, there’s a lot of cool imagery. And, you know, me as a Christian, I think anytime I can throw little hints of that in my music, I’m all for it.  It’s good.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by findingmorgan (@findingmorgan_wallen) Wallen references Christ twice in “I Ain’t Coming Back,” first singing in the chorus: “Now I’m walkin’ on this water mixed with Johnnie Walker Black There’s a lot of reasons I ain’t Jesus, but the main one is that I ain’t comin’ back Oh no, no, I ain’t comin’ back” And then later in the second verse, Malone sings: “Girl, it ain’t my fault Ain’t no need to wait three days I might be a lot of things But I ain’t your savin’ grace…” Which refers to the resurrection of Christ. “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” is not the first time Wallen has referenced his faith in songs. Other examples include “I Wrote the Book,” “Don’t Think Jesus,” and “In the Bible” featuring HARDY, among others. Given that Wallen grew up in the Bible Belt of Tennessee, as the son of a Southern Baptist preacher, faith has always been an essential part of Morgan Wallen’s life. Even though his rebellious spirit might not always show it, if you listen closely to his lyrics, it’s evident that he is a believer. And who knows, now that he’s a father and has seemingly settled it down a bit, maybe there’s more to his faith journey on the horizon.
