.@taylorswift13 and @realDonaldTrump have circled each other -- him often the aggressor -- in the public sphere for years. This weekend, they are both throwing bashes: one is a wedding, another a "TRUMP RALLY." I take a look with @4evrmalone:

Great story by @jessemckinley on how Trump’s Washington makeover encompasses a format we know all too well: the reality TV home renovation show. https://t.co/AUVuxQf2N3

I went back home to the KC area to dig into a 1981 case of a town bully -- shot in broad daylight, in Skidmore, Mo., after a reign of terror -- where no one saw a thing. Now there's an Off Broadway play, "Kenrex," as the mystery persists.

With Alisha Haridasani Gupta: the Bezos' underwriting of the Met Gala has prompted a wave of protests/pranks. With comments from @CynthiaNixon, @BilldeBlasio, @JonReinish, @micahuetricht, Blakely Thornton, and more, all asking: Did greed replace glamour?

NEW: After 33 years, shocking DNA results, whispers about bad cops and infamous killers, agonized family members, three trials, and a prosecutor's admission that his witnesses weren't "a busload of nuns," on Friday there was a conviction in a '93 murder.

With the draft in the news, some #Trump critics, and the likes of @theovon, suggest sending Barron into the military.

@JackCurryYES Well put Jack…and RIP indeed

At the Alex Pretti memorial in #Minneapolis, the tributes keeps growing: agonized, heartfelt, and personal. “Hopefully you’ll meet my daughter in the heavens," reads one. "Damn, just damn," reads another.

Demonstration, drawing thousands of Minnesotans, happening now in downtown Minneapolis

[Jesse McKinley @jessemckinley]

In #Minneapolis, substantial crowd downtown as general strike demonstration begins…drones and copters overhead. Peaceful and sign-heavy:

The fights on the right continue, with insults from @TuckerCarlson, and issues from Qatar to Charlie Kirk splitting Trumpworld into camps. Mentioned: @bariweiss, @BillAckman, @LauraLoomer, @realDonaldTrump, @DelPercioS, @benshapiro, @SenTedCruz

Renovations to the @WhiteHouse aren't new, but the demolition of the East Wing has caused a furor in some quarters, amid harsh reviews of the $300 million ballroom. “It looks like the Bellagio without the craps tables,” said one critic. https://t.co/f1nkuVFHDk

ASMR videos, Mean Girls memes, the sombrero: Aides and officials under @realDonaldTrump have wholeheartedly embraced the president’s always-be-posting style.

The jury is in and deliberating today on this twisty murder case out of WNY/Buffalo. No verdict today, back at it again tomorrow. https://t.co/oeVXq34Kj6

.@CAgovernor's trolling of @realDonaldTrump hits the marketplace, with MAGA hats, Hulk Hogan in a halo, and a "Newsom Bible," which is SOLD OUT (its actual existence is an open question...) https://t.co/MI9pjifaHy

Days after interviewing a prospective hire for Mayor Eric Adams' re-election campaign, @BillAckman was in Newport, R.I. making his pro tennis debut.

@jessemckinley has the story from Ackman's match.
