Macklemore I'm Starting The Free Palestine Tour ... Take That, Ed and Kraft!!!

Published

Macklemore might be persona non grata in U.S. stadiums for saying "Free Palestine" ... but apparently a few places overseas don't have the same issue ... opening up their doors for his "Free Palestine Tour."

The rapper announced the news on social media Thursday ... revealing he's got 3 dates picked out -- October 26 in Dublin, October 29 in Paris, and October 30 in London.

In the caption announcing the tour, Macklemore writes that the world is waking up to "Palestinian liberation" ... which he sees as a major shift over the last few years.

He then seems to take a swipe at his old buddy Ed Sheeran ... adding, "It’s 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn’t work anymore. People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it."

Donald Trump Federal Judge Rules in White House Access Case In Favor of the Media

Published

A federal judge has just ruled in favor of the news outlets the Trump administration kicked out of the White House.

Judge Timothy J. Kelly backed CNN, MS NOW and Politico in their fight against the executive branch. According to a ruling filed early Thursday morning, Kelly ruled the reporters' press credentials were revoked without providing "constitutionally adequate due process."

Kelly stated in the filing ... "The 'general rule' is that 'individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard before the Government deprives them' of a constitutionally protected interest."

He'd previously noted the White House didn't give the reporters kicked out due process before revoking their access to the building, which he said runs counter to precedent.

The filing states the "hard pass" press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked shall be "immediately" returned, reinstated, and restored until further Order of the Court or the expiration of the Temporary Restraining Order -- which is set to remain in effect for 14 days.
