California Governor Gavin Newsom's official press account roasted MAGA musicians Kid Rock and Nicki Minaj after they were "snubbed" at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom's press office is back at it on X after MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had a meltdown on Truth Social about Sunday night's Grammy Awards telecast.

At 12:45am on Monday, Trump posted, then deleted, then reposted with corrections at 1:01am, an unhinged screed about his ties to longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein, the Grammys, host Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, and CBS. He also included a threat to take legal action against Noah over the accuracy of a joke.


Trump wrote in his final version:

"The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer. The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards."
"Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media."
"Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! President DJT"

In response to that post—as well as Trump's perpetual whining about not winning a Nobel Peace Prize, the POTUS' new "Board of Peace," and foreign leaders, corporations, and organizations easily manipulating Trump by making up awards and giving him something shiny—the Newsom press office fake-awarded MAGA minions Kid Rock and Nicki Minaj the "California Music Participation Peace Prize."

The Governor Newsom Press Office posted at 1:11am:

"I CAN’T BELIEVE VERY TALENTED ARTISTS LIKE KID ROCK AND NICKI MINAJ WERE SNUBBED AGAIN AND WILL BE WALKING HOME WITH ZERO (0) GRAMMYS."
"THE HATERS WILL SAY THEY ARE 'TRASH' ARTISTS WHO ARE JUST DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION. WRONG!!! THEY ARE OKAY ARTISTS WHO ARE DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION."
"THEIR RECENT PR 'PERFORMANCES' ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO EARN A PARTICIPATION PRIZE AT MINIMUM."
"BECAUSE THE GRAMMYS FAILED, I WILL BE AWARDING KID AND NICKI THE CALIFORNIA MUSIC PARTICIPATION PEACE PRIZE (AT THE NEWSOM KENNEDY CENTER), A VERY PRESTIGIOUS AWARD DECIDED BY MY 'PEACE' BOARD, WHICH I ALONE APPOINT."
"THIS RESTORES FAIRNESS TO MUSIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. —GOVERNOR GCN"

Kid Rock has been nominated for a Grammy five times. His last nomination was 17 years ago in 2009.

Nicki Minaj has been nominated 12 times for a Grammy. Her last nomination was only two years ago in 2024.

Neither has ever won a Grammy.

After learning that Catherine O'Hara tragically passed away at the age of 71, Macaulay Culkin may have said best what we've all been feeling since: that we thought we had more time.

Arguably one of Macaulay Culkin's biggest roles in his career was that of the young Kevin McCallister in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York alongside his on-screen mom, Catherine O'Hara, playing the part of Kate McCallister, who would do anything to reunite with her son... both times.

This past week, large portions of the Northeast were buried under two to three feet of snow, forcing businesses to close, schools to shut down, and mail service to slow—except, according to one Ohio postal worker, at his facility.

Jason Thompson, a Cincinnati mail carrier with more than two decades on the job, says he was suspended without pay after he raised safety concerns about working conditions during a historic winter storm that slammed the region January 24–25. The storm affected 24 states and more than 200 million people, bringing dangerous cold and record snowfall to the Cincinnati area.

Trump Claims Not To Know About Election In Texas After Dem Flips GOP Seat—Despite Posting About It The Day Before

President Donald Trump has people raising their eyebrows after he claimed not to know about Democrats flipping a Republican-held state Senate seat in Texas just a day after encouraging his MAGA followers on Truth Social to go out and vote in the special election.

On Saturday, Taylor Rehmet, a Fort Worth machinist and Air Force veteran, prevailed over Republican Leigh Wambsganss of Southlake to claim the open seat in Senate District 9. The district had strongly backed Trump in 2024 by a 17-point margin. The contest advanced to a runoff after no contender earned more than 50 percent of the vote in November.
