In speaking today at the annual Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Legislative Leadership Summit, Vice President Kamala Harris had some words of advice for those in the crowd: Don’t be timid.
Harris, the first female and first Black and Asian-American elected vice president, told the group, “So here’s the thing about breaking barriers. Breaking barriers does not mean that you start on one side of the barrier and end up on the other side. There’s breaking involved, and when you break things you get cut. And you may bleed, and it is worth it every time.”
She then gave a pep talk to young people of diverse backgrounds to “not be silent” in high profile meetings. “Your voice can be strong,” she said.
Then, to emphasize the point, she added, “We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,...

Maya Rudolph opened the Mother’s Day episode of “Saturday Night Live” with a tribute to mothers — in every sense of the term.
Hosting the sketch show’s penultimate episode of the season, Rudolph began her monologue by noting she’s a four-time mom herself. “But Maya, look — you’re not just a mom,” cast member Bowen Yang reminded her. “You’re mother,” invoking the term’s use in queer slang to describe powerful, aspirational women. “You were the first to slay the house down boots, queen!”
“Who me, mother?” Rudolph asked, feigning shock. “You’re right!” The host then launched into a propulsive dance number, strutting through Studio 8H — also known as “House of Rockefeller” — in a reflective bodysuit while delivering lyrics like “Oops, I made you dance / Remember in that movie when I pooped my pants?” Other lines played on the many meanings of “mother”: “Who’s...

While Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) recently called requiring automatic refunds for canceled flights a “dumb idea,” his fellow senators disagree. Lawmakers are moving to strengthen their aviation reauthorization bill after Cruz and three other lawmakers were slammed for attempting to undermine President Joe Biden’s new airline regulations.
Last week, The Lever reported that Cruz, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) — who have all been bankrolled by the airline industry — introduced a new Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization deal that would require customers...

As Neil Young once sang, the now shuttered Participant is gone, but not forgotten.
Some of Tinseltown’s leading talents like Regina King, George Clooney, Ava DuVernay, Daniel Dae Kim, Martin Sheen, Regina King, Alfonso Cuaron, Matt Damon, Diego Luna and more have joined up with the National Domestic Workers Alliance to express “gratitude and pride” in the work put out by the Jeff Skoll-created shingle over the last two decades. At the same time, the A-Listers are imploring the ever increasingly conglomerated industry to keep their eyes on the social impact prize.
“As we say goodbye to Participant, we must underscore that values-based storytelling is needed now more than ever; to expand the room for debate, to open our hearts to experiences vastly different from our own, to immerse us in the beauty of humanity’s complexities,” the star-studded letter says. “And in the face of unprecedented change and uncertainty,...

Meghan McCain is not a fan of Drew Barrymore’s interviewing style and shared her thoughts about the viral interview with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
On the podcast Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat, the former View co-host reacted to the viral Drew Barrymore Show interview, in which the titular host had the VP as a guest.
McCain said that watching Barrymore interview Harris got her “blood boiling” criticizing the proximity of the host and the vice president.
“I know that’s like Drew Barrymore’s thing but I think someone needs to talk to her, like, not everything is a therapy session and some of this stuff is not appropriate,” McCain said.
The political commentator recalled Barrymore interviewing Oprah Winfrey, where the host was seen “grabbing her hands.” McCain added, “These are people who deserve respect in all ways, including physically respecting their space.”

Hollywood stars, journalists and prominent politicians were met with a crowd of protesters of the Israel-Hamas war outside Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner.
There has been growing public discord over the war and President Joe Biden’s handling of the conflict, as well as mainstream media’s coverage of it.
This year’s event at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. — where the dinner has been held for decades — is headlined by Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost, with several stars also in attendance, including Chris Pine, Molly Ringwald, Questlove and Rachel Brosnahan. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are also at the dinner.
However, attendees were greeted by demonstrators holding banners and chanting “Free, free Palestine” and calls for a “ceasefire” as they arrived, according to videos posted on social media. At one point, protesters also dropped a Palestinian flag out of one of the Washington Hilton’s windows.

Reality star Kim Kardashian joined Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House on Thursday for a roundtable discussion focused on the pardons issued by President Joe Biden. This marks another step in Kardashian’s involvement in national criminal justice policy.
The conversation took place a day after Biden granted pardons to 11 individuals and commuted the sentences of five others who had been convicted of non-violent drug offenses.
Among the participants in the forum were Jason Hernandez, Bobby Darrell Lowery, Jesse Mosley and Beverly Holcy—individuals who had received pardons the previous day. They shared their experiences within the justice system and highlighted the positive endeavors they pursued in their communities after their release, such as starting businesses or non-profit organizations.

Steven Spielberg has made no secret of his support for Joe Biden’s reelection, and now the Oscar winner is rolling up his sleeves for the team.
Spielberg is involved strategically in the incumbent’s campaign and even the specifics of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August, Deadline has confirmed.
“Steven wants to be as helpful as possible to the president,” a well-placed source says. “He believes this is one of the most important elections in the nation’s history.”
The filmmaker is unlikely to helm a short movie at the DNC about Biden this year the way he helped do for John Kerry in 2004, and again at the 2008 convention when Barack Obama was nominated. However, Spielberg has been working with key advisors on how to “convey the president’s successes and his vision for the country” to viewers and delegates, I’m told.

There’s only so much that a teenager like him can take. There’s strong speculation on social media that suggests Barron Trump is none too pleased with his parents, Donald and Melania Trump, and their behavior.

If there’s one person who seems to be pleased with the decision, it’s Barron’s mother, Melania. That’s because she would rather attend the graduation on her own.

On Wednesday, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 of Donald Trump’s allies for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
Boris Epshteyn, a former White House aide who has remained one of Trump’s closest advisers, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows are three of 18 indicted allies. Their names were redacted in documents released, but court officials confirmed that they were included in the group charged.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced the indictment Wednesday night. She focused on the 11 people who acted as pro-Trump electors in Arizona.
“A state grand jury made up of everyday regular Arizonans has now handed down felony indictments for all 11 Republican electors as well as several others connected to this scheme,” Mayes stated.
“These are serious indictments, but this is the first hurdle the state must pass in our constitutional criminal justice system,...

In 2014, I was in Denver for 4/20. It was a heady time. Colorado had recently legalized recreational cannabis, and High Times was capitalizing on the moment by throwing a two-day weed extravaganza known as the Cannabis Cup. I was an editor for them, and I’d been pressed into service along with the rest of the team to run the event. We knew it was going to be big, but we weren’t prepared for how huge and chaotic it turned out to be. Traffic was backed up for miles, people...

Stephen Colbert will travel to Chicago this summer and host The Late Show from the Windy City during the week of the DNC (Democratic National Convention).
The CBS late-night talk show host announced he was hosting a full week of episodes from the Auditorium Theatre from August 19 through August 22.
“The Late Show is doing shows from Chicago for the entire Democratic Convention for one week,” Colbert said before joking about the theatre’s name saying, “The Late Show will be broadcasting from the 130-year-old Auditorium Theater. It is absolutely gorgeous and so creatively named. The Auditorium Theater is right next to the cafeteria restaurant, and of course, the historic Rooms Hotel.”

Jimmy Kimmel may have lost a vice president, but he’s gaining a Southern rocker.
While Kamala Harris had to take a raincheck on her planned Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it turns out hers wasn’t the only special visit the host had planned this week. As Variety reports, Kimmel is resurrecting his outdoor concert stage on Wednesday with Chris Stapleton as his first performer.
Kimmel’s al fresco stage, which is located in the parking lot behind his Hollywood studio, has the capacity to hold more than 1,000 concert-goers and has featured an all-star lineup of artists in the past. Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Elton John, Prince, No Doubt, Usher, and Snoop Dogg are just a few of the performers who have entertained Kimmel’s crowd over the years. But this week’s performance will mark the first in more than four years.

She was scheduled to sit down with Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night, but with official business cutting her trip to Los Angeles short, Kamala Harris is giving the ABC late-night host a rain check instead
It wasn’t immediately clear why is Harris headed back to Washington ahead of schedule, but insiders say her interview with Kimmel will be rescheduled for a later date.
Announced just last Thursday, Tuesday’s visit with Kimmel would have been Harris’ first as vice president. She previously appeared on the show twice during her 2020 presidential run.
With the situation in the Middle East escalating over the weekend after Iran carried out its first-ever strikes against Israel, it’s possible The White House and/or the Biden campaign simply decided now isn’t the right time for the VP to appear on a late-night show.

VP Kamala Harris was set to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! tomorrow night (Tuesday April 16).
However, her appearance has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. Though the VP did end up flying back into LA from her quick trip to Las Vegas today, and not going to DC, no reason for Harris’ absence from the ABC late nighter was given.
However, the White House has announced that the Vice President “will participate in a campaign event” later in the day on Tuesday. Kimmel usually films that night’s show in the late afternoon — which is around the same time the Veep’s campaign event appears to be occurring.

When Seth MacFarlane introduced Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Vice President Kamala Harris at a 2024 fundraiser at his home this evening, his guests got a sampling of his irreverent humor.
“When I was asked to host this event, I immediately agreed because I realized if it’s at my house, I can drink as much as I want,” MacFarlane said, per a pool report. “I’m not going to get a DUI on the way to bed.”
“Anyway, now I wanted to get everything right to this introduction. So I practiced how to pronounce your name. Is it Doug?”
The Second Gentleman laughed.
Then MacFarlane referenced abortion, a major issue that Harris has highlighted on the campaign trail.
“Vice President Harris has been a champion of this issue, doing her best under the toughest of circumstances to try to explain to her male colleagues how a period works,” MacFarlane quipped.

Former President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of being high on cocaine during his State of the Union speech last month and demanded that the president take a drug test before future debates.
“I think what happened is you know that white stuff that they happened to find, which happened to be cocaine in the White House, I don’t know, I think something’s going on there, because I watched this State of the Union, and he was all jacked up at the beginning,” Trump said during an interview with the conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
Trump was referencing the discovery last summer of a powdered substance in the White House, which later tested positive for cocaine. The Secret Service was unable to determine who left it there but speculated it was a visitor.
“By the end, he was fading fast,” Trump added. “There’s something going on there.

You’d think he’d want to walk back Jungle Cruise or Black Adam. Instead, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is expressing some regret about his 2020 endorsement for Joe Biden for president and says he won’t endorse any candidate this year.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he told Will Cain on Fox News in an interview posted online Friday. “I thought, ‘I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence [and] share: This is who I’m going to endorse.’ I’m not going to do that. I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that … but what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts — which is division. That got me.

A frequent target of harsh Republican attacks, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-ca) is putting up the digital barricades for his reelection campaign.
On the ballot in November like every member of the House of Representatives, the six-term California Congressman has teamed up with the technology services of Wolfsbane.ai to protect himself against AI deepfakes and other manipulations.
“Ensuring the integrity of our democratic process is of paramount importance,” Rep. Swalwell said Tuesday of the realities of running for office in the 21st century. “Embracing cutting-edge tools such as Wolfsbane.ai to prevent deepfakes is not just an option; it’s a necessity in safeguarding elections against fraud and misinformation,” the ranking member of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Congressional Subcommittee stated.
Long an advocate on the power of technology in the contemporary political arena, Swalwell is the first elected official to partner with Wolfsbane.ai, but he likely won’t be the last.
