[quote=Anonymous][b]Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover.[/b]
“Since early September, 43 percent of tickets remained unsold for the typical production. That means that, at most, 57 percent of tickets were sold for the typical production — and some tickets may have been “comps,” which are given away, often to staff members or the press. That compares with 93 percent sold or comped in fall 2024 and 80 percent in fall 2023.”

[b]New warning signs emerge for Lindsey Halligan’s effort to prosecute Trump’s foes.[/b]
“The rulings against the three interim U.S. attorneys point to the likelihood, legal experts say, that Halligan’s high-profile prosecutions of Comey and James could collapse alongside her own appointment. That’s because the judges concluded that despite the invalid appointments, the prosecutions brought by those disqualified U.S. attorneys could survive because — unlike the Halligan-led prosecutions — they were also approved by career prosecutors who were validly appointed.”

[b]Red State Workers Could Lose Out on Disability Benefits as Trump Administration Rewrites Eligibility Rules.[/b]
“That’s because the Trump administration is rewriting the disability eligibility rules, ostensibly to modernize the program, in ways that will make it even harder for aging blue-collar workers like Tincher to get benefits. Hundreds of thousands just like him would become ineligible for aid.
These changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump’s most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs, including coal mining, logging, and factory and construction work. The five states where the highest proportions of people rely on these benefits are West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama. Unlike New York, California and a few others, these states do not have their own disability insurance programs for workers to turn to amid federal cuts.”

[b]Kash Patel’s Halloween Terror Plot Claim Disputed by Michigan Lawyer.[/b]
“Amir Makled, who represents a 20-year-old Dearborn man still in custody, said federal authorities have provided few details but, based on his review, there was no credible plan for violence. “I don’t know where this hysteria and this fearmongering came from,” Makled said.
…
“Makled described the suspects as gamers, all male U.S. citizens ranging in age from 16 to 20. “If these young men were on forums that they should not have been on or things of that nature, then we’ll have to wait and see,” he said. “But I don’t believe that there’s anything illegal about any of the activity they were doing.”

[b]‘60 Minutes’ Airing Edited Version of Donald Trump Interview Under Scrutiny.[/b]
“After one exchange about crime in Washington, D.C., Trump told O’Donnell: “You don't have to use that one.”
Later, he said: “Actually 60 Minutes paid me a lotta money. And you don’t have to put this on, because I don’t wanna embarrass you.”
Trump has been friendlier toward CBS since the takeover of its parent company by new Paramount CEO David Ellison, the son of wealthy supporter Larry Ellison, saying it has "great potential."
…
“Sean Spicer, Trump’s first White House press secretary in his first term, wrote on X: ‘Paramount paid President Trump $16 million for editing a Kamala interview in order to influence the outcome of the election. Then they edited an hour and 13 minute 60 Minutes  interview with him to 27 minutes.....how much this time?”

[b]Nuclear Testing Update: Energy Secretary Walks Back Trump’s Comments.[/b]
“Wright told Fox News' Peter Doocy that people wouldn't see explosions or anything similar to previous nuclear tests carried out in the United States, saying, “I think the tests we’re talking about right now are system tests. These are not nuclear explosions. These are what we call non-critical explosions.”
Wright elaborated that such tests involve “all the other parts of a nuclear weapon to make sure they deliver the appropriate geometry and they set up the nuclear explosion,” but do not include actual atomic detonations.”

[b]US judge permanently blocks Trump order requiring voters to prove citizenship.[/b]
“A federal judge on Friday permanently blocked part of an executive order from Republican U.S. President Donald Trump, ruling that the president cannot require voters to show passports or similar documents as proof of citizenship before voting.
Several lawsuits have challenged the president's March 25 executive order, a sweeping order aimed at overhauling federal elections, and courts had already temporarily blocked it from going into effect. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C., was the first to reach a final ruling against the executive order.”
