Vogue’s Spring 2026 issue delivered a fawning puff piece extolling the virtues of Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) — complete with a photo spread from celebrity-favorite photographer Annie Leibovitz — just as he prepares to wrap up his final term as governor and plan his next move. Newsom has long been considered a heavy favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028 — and if he does choose to throw his hat into the ring, his February 1 Vogue profile (written by Maya Singer) could easily be considered an in-kind donation to his campaign. Indeed, Singer refers to Newsom as “presidential” in her first paragraph. Of course, that came only after she describes him as “embarrassingly handsome.” Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final State of the State address. And the fawning continues. Paragraph two begins: “It must drive Trump nuts. Newsom: lithe, ardent, energetic, a glimmer of optimism in his eye; Kennedy-esque. Add to that his stunning wife and four adorable kids, and the executive strut of a self-made millionaire who has spent the past seven years at the helm of a state big, complex, and rich enough to be a nation of its own.” Singer continued in that same vein, observing the differences between her previous Zoom meetings with the California politician and the moment she sat down with him in person. As he spoke, late-summer sun slanted in through the windows, bathing Newsom in an oh so California magic-hour glow. I’d prepared for this sit-down by consuming the spectacle of Gavin Newsom—tweets, TV hits, interviews, umpteen episodes of his podcast, This Is Gavin Newsom—and was having a hard time taking in the man. His actual molecular reality. Immaculate. Fantastic at gab, like a windup doll. Her words painted a picture — not just of Newsom, but also of a writer smitten by the subject of her piece. “Newsom’s lanky frame was folded onto a sofa a bit too low-slung for him. This made him lean back—away from me,” Singer wrote, musing, “Or it could be that his body language had nothing to do with ergonomics and is a function of Newsom’s quality of being at once gregarious and aloof.” Singer spoke with Newsom about his decision to start a podcast — “This is Gavin Newsom” — and to kick it off with a conversation with the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. “My purpose in having Charlie on wasn’t to discuss his politics. I don’t share his politics. I don’t like the way he talked down to people. I don’t like what he said about the gay community and minorities,” Newsom said, claiming that his purpose had been centered on finding out what Kirk was doing to reach so many people — young men, in particular. “Wake up. There’s 40 percent or whatever it is in this country that feels deeply differently than we do, and we need to understand this movement and not be so quick to dismiss it. Divorce is not an option. So what are we going to do about this?” Newsom continued. “We’ve got a lot of work to do—rebranding, rebuilding, a lot of work as a party. Wake the hell up.” Pushing back on critics who’d attacked him for allowing Kirk a platform, Newsom argued that it was Kirk who had platformed him: “I didn’t have one follower. He had millions.” The governor’s strategy appears to have worked on at least one person: Singer. “Newsom,” she wrote, “has been vindicated by history.” Critics were quick to call out the clear bias in Singer’s writing. Kevin Dalton wrote on X, “‘Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final State of the State address.’ —Vogue, apparently taken over by a 15-year-old girl with a crush on Gavin Newsom or Izzy.” Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called the whole thing, “Very Beto.” “The Gavin Newsom piece in Vogue is something to behold. A true monument to sycophancy, obsequiousness and outright slobbery,” Gerry Callahan said, adding, “The writer, Maya Singer, abandons all professional dignity and acts less like a reporter and more like a golden retriever whose owner just returned from a long trip.”

The 2026 awards show season is underway, and many of our favorite musicians took home Grammy Awards on February 1. These shows honor artists and give them a chance to thank their fans for helping them make their dreams come true. Sometimes, these shows become overrun with political discourse, which can turn off many viewers. After winning a Grammy for best contemporary country album, Jelly Roll took time to reflect on his relationship with Jesus. He became choked up as he spoke, revealing how his life changed dramatically when he opened his heart to faith. Jelly Roll Made a Bold Statement About Jesus While politics can be polarizing, so can discussions of faith. But at the 2026 Grammy Awards, Jelly Roll focused on Jesus. His acceptance speech resonated deeply with many of his fans. He became emotional as he dedicated the award to his wife, Bunnie XO. “I would never have changed my life without you. I’d have ended up dead or in jail,” Jelly Roll said. “I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus.” Jelly Roll recently dropped a whopping 300 pounds as part of his dedication to completely overhauling his life and health. He spoke about “a time in my life that I was broken. That’s why I wrote this album. I didn’t think I had a chance. Y’all, there were days I thought the darkest things. I was a horrible human.” But Jelly Roll said his faith in Jesus changed everything, and he wanted others to open their own hearts to that kind of shift. “Jesus is not owned by one political party,” Jelly Roll announced. “Jesus is not owned by a music label; Jesus is Jesus. And anybody can have a relationship with him. I love you, Lord.” This story’s featured image is by Amy Sussman/Getty Images.

the Clintons’ lawyers said Bill Clinton would submit to a four-hour, transcribed interview

The president’s tough on crime policies are to thank for the nation’s capital seeing a dramatic decrease in crime from last year, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. “When you have a president who makes a decision to focus on crime and then tries to figure out what he can do to effectuate a reduction in crime,” Pirro told The Daily Signal, “you’re starting at a good point.” The nation’s capital has seen only three homicides in 2026 compared to 11 at this time last year. Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, his administration has taken on a number of measures to improve crime rates in the city, from the War Department deploying the National Guard to the Department of Justice prosecuting more violent criminals. Washington, D.C., boasted no homicides for the first three weeks in January. Additionally, 2026 has seen 73 robberies, compared to 167 in the same time frame last year. Total violent crime has decreased by 37%. “President Trump promised to make Washington, D.C. safe and beautiful again—now it is one of the safest cities in the country,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told The Daily Signal. “Thanks to President Trump’s successful federal law enforcement operation, our nation’s capital has seen a dramatic decrease in crime and homicide.” “Cities across the country with out-of-control crime, like Chicago, should be begging for President Trump’s help,” she added. National Guard In August, Trump announced he would federalize D.C.’s police department and deploy National Guard troops across the city. “Having more law enforcement present visually present is a deterrent in itself,” Pirro said. She said the coordination between the D.C. Metro Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the U.S. Marshals Service, and many other agencies was crucial to cleaning up D.C. crime. “President Trump made it clear that the crime that plagued our Nation’s capital was unacceptable,” Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who was in charge of the D.C. mission, told The Daily Signal. “Under his leadership, crime in D.C. has been dramatically reduced.” “Since August, incredible men and women who serve in the National Guard have patrolled the D.C. area,” Driscoll continued. “They have been working hand in glove with law enforcement to keep residents and visitors to our Nation’s capital safe.”  Prosecuting Violent Criminals While Biden-era U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves had a 67% declination rate, meaning he did not file the vast majority of charges presented to him by law enforcement, his replacement, Jeanine Pirro, has instructed her prosecutors to bring charges against all criminals with viable cases. “People in my office are very focused on putting together cases and making sure that we hold people accountable so that kind of brings it down to the street level,” she told The Daily Signal. “When you focus on the chronic offenders, and the drivers of violence and taking guns off the street, the whole city feels it.” Since the crime crackdown in D.C. began in August, law enforcement have taken almost 1,000 guns off the street and arrested almost 9,600 people, Pirro said. One of the most effective things the U.S. Attorney’s Office has done is crack down on guns illegally brought into the District, Pirro said. “Right now, my prosecutors know to request a hold in all of these cases, so they are going to be held for 36-72 hours at a minimum,” she said. “It’s going to disrupt the gun trafficking, the gun cases, and the message is out there: Don’t get caught with a gun in D.C. Get the guns off the street and out of use, and then you’ve got a city that is safer.” Cully Stimson, former assistant United States attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C., said Pirro has put a needed emphasis on gun crimes. “Jeanine Pirro deserves credit for turning the office into a place that is taking crimes seriously,” Stimson told The Daily Signal. “She’s sending appropriate cases of felon in possession of firearms to federal district court, where most of them are going to get a sentence to prison,” he said, adding that prison sentences are more common in federal courts than superior courts. Pirro wants to lower the age of responsibility for violent youths so minors who commit violent crimes face the full penalty of the law. “I am very, very receptive and anxious to prosecute 16 and 17 year olds, but right now I can only do it for the Title 16 crimes, which are murder, sexual abuse, burglary, robbery, and kidnapping,” she said. “You can rest assured that we’re not turning any of those away.” Pirro wants to reduce the age of responsibility for violent crimes from 16 and 17 to 14 and 15. “If you got young people who are accustomed to getting away with crimes because people think we need to protect them, then we’re doing nothing but creating the next generation of criminals who the first time they are involved in the actual criminal justice system is with a murder,” she said. “So they’ve already built their way up with no deterrence, so when we get them, it’s probably for a homicide.” For the rest of the year, Pirro plans to keep solving cases and arresting criminals. “We’re going to continue to try to close cases, continue to try to get convictions,” she said. Cold Weather D.C. has seen its coldest January in eight years and its snowiest in six years. In the summer, crime rates are the highest because people can comfortably roam the streets, while criminals are more likely to stay home in freezing temperatures. However, Pirro said there’s more to the Trump administration’s success in lowering homicides than the frigid temperatures. “You can’t just say, well, it was cold and there was snow. It’s not the first winter it was cold and snowing,” she said. “I think the message is resonating the only mercy we have is for the victim, the person who never chose to be a part of the system in the first place,” she added.

Haiti Is Not Great Anymore, Apparently

Former Tarrant County GOP chairman and candidate for Texas railroad commissioner Bo French has been one of the leading voices sounding the alarm on the Islamification of the West — and he’s not stopping any time soon.“Thank God for what’s going on in Minnesota, because the pictures coming out of there really tell a story of — it’s not just the Somalis, right? They’re all Muslims as well, don’t forget. And so, really just kind of highlights, again, what we’re seeing both in Michigan, like Dearborn and places like that,” French tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”“And then, you know, we have 330 mosques in Texas now. And these imams … there’s plenty of video out there for you to find on social media where they talk about we’re going to … just conquer our society, right?” he continues.“That’s the whole point,” Gonzales agrees.“I’m like, ‘Guys, just look in history. Just read their books. Just read their own holy books. It’s clearly the goal. They’re not being quiet about that,” she says, adding that Americans will claim “freedom of religion” in defense of Muslims.“It’s not a religion,” French says. “It’s a political structure.”French explains that the Council on American-Islamic Relations came after him because of this.“I was the, I think, the first person really to just come out and say, in Texas, we need to ban Islam and we need to ban everything related to it. We need to ban the dress. ... No more mosques, we need to shut them all down,” he tells Gonzales.“And it’s not just Islam. … I said that the fraud in Texas was probably going to be bigger than Minnesota. We’re a much larger state. … We have huge immigrant populations here. And if these morons up in Minnesota could figure out all this stuff — I mean, they’re like the lowest-IQ people on the planet,” he continues.“If they could figure out all this fraud, imagine what, you know, some of these people coming over from India or other places are doing here,” he adds.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
