"A full-length documentary feature film about the notoriously tight-lipped First Lady hits movie theaters January 30. At a later, undetermined date, Amazon Prime will stream the film and a companion, three-part docuseries.

"Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Kamala Harris, and Michelle Obama spent the last four months in the crosshairs of right-wing media for a litany of supposed sins. There's a small but growing faction of the MAGA media, fanned by President Trump's rhetoric, that shows no interest in pumping the brakes on this line of attack in 2026.

Zohran Mamdani will face heightened scrutiny from MAGA outlets.
