Donald Trump wants to keep congressional Republicans in power through the remainder of his term — but he also wants to use the midterms to punish those who have stepped off the MAGA line. Tuesday's Republican primary in Kentucky will test the bounds of the president's control over the party, its voters, and how much power he can still exert over downballot elections. The race will see Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican who has represented Kentucky's fourth congressional district since 2012, face off against the Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL “I did not see this coming, but my…

Kylie Minogue has opened up about her experience with cancer over 20 years ago, saying that it is “still with [her] today”. The Australian pop icon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, which forced her to cancel her planned headline performance at Glastonbury that year, as well as some other live tour dates. She was 36 years old at the time. Minogue, now 57, later revealed in 2008 that she had been “misdiagnosed initially”. In 2023, the singer explained that she was still trying to “process” surviving the disease after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy. “It’s trauma, and any trauma…

S Sometimes I think I only worked to have this career so I could get to be on late-night talk shows. I grew up in the 1970s, a time when late-night guests were both the new, cutting-edge people and people from previous eras, going back all the way to Broadway and even silent-film stars. That was my first peek at showbiz, where all of these entertainers told me about their world — Bob Hope, Sly and the Family Stone, Dolly Parton, Sammy Davis Jr., Robert Klein. After school, I could watch Dinah Shore and Mike Douglas. Then in the evenings,…
B ack in the day, I was occasionally blamed for ushering in an era of “transgressive” comics. If I had, I was hardly alone — R. Crumb got there first — but chief among my early detractors was Charles M. Schulz. My boyhood idol dismissed the topical subject matter that interested me as “low-hanging fruit,” perishable and cheap. He once said that most of the comic strips young hopefuls sent him for advice in the Seventies were drawn in the style of Doonesbury, and he didn't mean it as a compliment. In his view, not only had I disrupted the…
TO mtrak is a funny word that all too often is used as a punchline. The redheaded stepchild of American transportation. But as a redhead myself, I love the runty Little Engine That Could. I love an underdog, and Amtrak is the true underdog of getting around. After I did my audition for Saturday Night Live and it was time to go home to Nashville, I took Amtrak. I bought a coach-class ticket to Birmingham, Alabama, 25 hours from New York. Don't do that. Get a private room on overnights. I can't stress that enough. Anyway, on the train, I…
