Brendan McDermid/Getty ImagesDonald Trump once again assailed the daughter of the judge overseeing his New York hush-money trial, this time sharing a news story with photos of his target on his social network. Ranting on Truth Social on Saturday evening, the former president shared a link to a New York Post article about Loren Merchan, who leads a political consulting firm that works with Democrats. In his post, Trump once again claimed without evidence that Loren’s political work was proof her father, Judge Juan Merchan, was compromised and should be removed from his case.“​​This is a disgrace to our Legal System. Judge Merchan should be immediately sanctioned and recused, and this fake ‘case,’ only kept alive by the Highly Conflicted Judge, should be completely dismissed right away—THERE IS NO CASE, THERE IS NO CRIME,” he wrote.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said on Sunday he’s not sweating the racist attacks conservatives have hurled at him since the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed last week.“I have no time for foolishness,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash on State of the Union.Moore said he’s focused instead on the families and authorities affected by the tragedy and reopening the water channel in Baltimore for shipments. The bridge collapsed on Tuesday after a cargo ship slammed into one of its pillars, presumably killing six construction workers who fell into the Patapsco River. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesGeorgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) ripped former President Donald Trump on Sunday for his latest commercial exploit—hawking $60 “Trump-endorsed” Bibles, which he promoted over Easter weekend.“The Bible does not need Trump’s endorsement,” Warnock said, appearing on CNN’s State of the Union on Easter Sunday. The senator—who is a longtime Baptist pastor—used an example from the Bible to condemn Trump’s behavior.Read more at The Daily Beast.

NBC/ScreengrabPolitics were top of mind for Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update,” though not every joke landed—as Michael Che learned the hard way.“More than 5,000 people attended a Democratic fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall, featuring big-name celebrities like Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert, and Lizzo,” Che shared. “As well as lesser known celebrities like President Joe Biden.”While that shot at the president elicited laughs, Che’s next jab just moments later didn’t seem to amuse everyone. Referencing Biden’s plans to visit the site of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, Che explained the purpose of the visit being “because, like that bridge, Biden is no longer connecting with Black communities.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

HallmarkThe best time travel TV show right now is on Hallmark. That may sound shocking to everyone who only associates the Crown Media network with schmaltzy Christmas movies and the romantic adventures of small-town amateur detectives. However, The Way Home is breaking the Hallmark mold and bringing in new viewers at the same time.The series centers on the women of the Landry family. The first season begins with Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh), newly separated from her husband, taking her disobedient teen daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) home to her family farm in Port Haven, Canada. It’s a chance for the duo to reset and for Kat to mend fences with her estranged mother, Del (Andie MacDowell), to whom she has barely spoken in 20 years.Viewers are quickly informed that the Landrys were struck by tragedy in 1999 when Kat’s younger brother Jacob (Remy Smith) went missing and her father Colton (Jefferson) died three months later. The details of Jacob’s disappearance and Colton’s death are slowly revealed throughout the season after Alice discovers a mysterious pond on the Landry property with the power to transport her back in time to the months leading up to the fateful events.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Alyssa Moran / AMCThere are countless upsides to never seeing a single episode of Breaking Bad.For one, I get to tune out of those “best television shows of all time” conversations that people have at parties whenever they get to the Walter White of it all, and instead, ponder whether I’m responsible enough to invest in a large plant. Other times, I have the privilege of never having to care about what’s going on with Aaron Paul’s career. But the best part of not giving a single hoot about the meth show—or its spinoff, Better Call Saul—is that I have been able to avoid unconsciously pigeonholing Giancarlo Esposito. If I wasn’t able to see one of America’s finest character actors as anyone but Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul’s Gus Fring, I simply don’t know what I’d do.That reality would be a frustrating one, given that Esposito has been popping up everywhere lately. After a stint on The Mandalorian, major parts in two recent Netflix series (of varying quality), and some excellent voice work on Max’s animated Harley Quinn, Esposito is returning to the network that made him a notable face. His latest drama, Parish—which begins airing Mar. 31 on AMC—is a moderately gripping thriller that works best when it keeps the focus on its star. Esposito’s charm and verve help the six-episode season move at a crackling pace, which comes to a noticeable halt whenever he’s not on-screen. While those looking for Breaking Bad-level excitement from Esposito won’t be disappointed, anyone seeking a wholly impressive crime story will be let down by Parish’s imbalanced action.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Obviously no added sugar? First of all, Ms. Jenner, do not assume you know what I am thinking. Being spoken to as if I am a child makes me irate; I worked hard for these forehead lines and dark circles! Sure, I may have a stunning, youthful glow despite them, but that doesn’t mean I deserve to be scolded for a conclusion I haven’t even made in the first place. I picked up this crate of eight canned vodka sodas two seconds ago, and already I’m getting a playful slap on the wrist? If it weren’t my job to taste these things, the box would’ve gone back on the shelf.Alright, that’s a lie. I have been dying to get my hands on some Sprinters since Jenner announced the brand earlier this month. If there is one thing I’ve always admired about the Kardashian-Jenner oligarchs, it’s their keen eyes for branding. Whether the products they make are good is of…some concern to me, of course—look at the article you’re reading!—but I’m far more fascinated by how those things will be marketed. Take, for instance, Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS shapewear and undergarment brand: I don’t wear shapewear, but if I did, I’d be inclined to buy it from the woman who made a cheeky, irreverent ad about some of her bras having visibly protruding nipples.I love the textured glass bottles of Kourtney Kardashian’s line of supplements and vitamins. I adore the fact that Khloé Kardashian had to incorporate her denim line (that is definitely not a money laundering front) into an ad she did for migraine pills. I worship the ghastly label of Kendall Jenner’s equally frightful tequila, simply because the design is so memorable. Whether the Kardashians and Jenners could be considered “artists” in the traditional sense is up for heavy debate, but they are certainly sculptors of their own relevancy. Fame is an art form, just like painting, music, or, well, I suppose even writing. I’ll have to delicately caress my reflection in a mirror to process that, but I’ll do it later.Read more at The Daily Beast.
