Our coverage continues on the last word with my friend lawrence o donnell. Good evening. A big newsnight. Yes and minutes before you started your live coverage, we just got the news and i was reading it as you are handling it live. I have been following these swarming investigations of city hall and eric adams at what i felt was relatively closely, but i have never been able to describe to anyone the full shape of it. I think by tomorrow we will have the diagrams built to put on screen to show you the number of commissioners who resigned from this administration. The number of people in the adams administration alone who have had telephones seized. I first covered it on this program two weeks ago for the first time when the police commissioner was forced to resign. That had reached a level that really made it feel like it was now happening at the very top and here we are tonight at the top of the top, at city hall. Stunning news and new york city history in the making. Have a good show

Can no longer be donald trump s music. hold on, i m hold on, i m coming today today a federal judge in georgia ordered trump to stop playing that song by isaac hayes, because isaac hayes s estate said it did not approve of the use and did not give the trump campaign permission to play it. Of this would be one thing if it were just an isolated incident, but it is not. For example trump has already switched his music to the village people s ymca, which i should note is widely understood to be an anthem of the gay community and which the village people themselves have objected to trump using. They have also threatened legal action against donald trump. In fact isaac hayes and the village people are just two of the dozens of artist and artist the states that have object did to donald trump using their music and that list includes abba, adele, aerosmith, the beatles, beyonce, bruce springsteen, celine dion, creedence clearwater revival, earth, wind, and fire.
