The legendary story of how the iconic choreography for Rhythm Nation came to be. It turns out, Janet Jackson had to get clearance from her brother, Michael, to pull off that signature military-style aesthetic. After seeing Michael’s work on the 3D film Captain EO, Janet was so inspired that she asked to borrow the vibe—and even though he had plans to use it for his next project, Michael couldn't say no to his sister. A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the birth of pop history. #JanetJackson

Former President Biden criticized President Trump and made a comment about the ongoing Reflecting Pool renovations during his speech at the 2026 Fight Back & Win Gala hosted by the Maryland Democratic Party on Saturday. “The Reflecting Pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration,” Biden said. “It’s the corruption… the brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.” #bide
