Florida congressman Maxwell Frost shouts 'F*** DeSantis' on stage at a Paramore concert
Maxwell Frost, the first and only Gen Z congressman in the United States, joined pop rock band Paramore on stage last night shouting 'F*** Ron DeSantis.' The group invited Frost to join them onstage at their concert in Washington, D.C. at the Capitol One Arena during their hit song 'Misery Business'. Lead singer Hayley Williams asked the Florida congressman if he had anything to say to the crowd, to which the Democrat responded by shouting: 'F*** DeSantis! F*** fascism!' When bringing the youngest congressman onto the stage, Williams asked the crowd: 'Can you see this? Can you see the future right here?' Paramore, especially Williams, have used their platform to criticise DeSantis before. Earlier in their US tour, Williams told fans that if they vote for DeSantis 'you're f***ing dead to me.' Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Frost, who was elected in 2022 as congressman for Florida's 10th congressional district, has repeatedly criticised DeSantis, who is the governor of Florida and recently announced his bid to become the Republican Presidential nominee. Later that night, Frost doubled down on his statement by tweeting: "I said what I said." Many conservatives have criticised Frost and Williams for their statement, some called Congressman Frost 'ridiculous' and an 'idiot', others said he 'doesn't understand fascism'. However, the Floridian seemed unbothered by conservative's comments tweeting: Paramore’s recent run of shows is proving eventful to say the least, after the group were forced to stop a concert to deal with a couple fighting and pushing in the crowd at Madison Square Garden.

iPhone 15: Apple announces event to reveal new phone
Apple will hold a “special event” in the coming days, it has revealed. The live streamed event will almost certainly see the launch of the new iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9, but could bring other products too. Apple will hold the event on 12 September, at 10am local pacific time, or 5pm in the UK, it said. Apple gave no clues about what that launch might include in its invitation. It only showed a picture of the Apple logo being swept away as if it was made of sand – and a single word to describe the event. Apple has hinted at the contents of previous events in its invitations. Last year, for instance, it called the event “Far Out” and included a picture of stars – which turned out to be a reference to the satellite communication technology in the iPhone 14. This year’s image does include the colours that have been rumoured to be included in the iPhone 15 Pro lineup. Reports have suggested that will include four hues: a deep blue, a black, and a lighter and darker shade of grey. Beyond those colours, the iPhone 15 Pro and Max are set to include a new and faster chip, a new action button on the side, a slightly different design with smaller bezels and titanium frame, and better battery life. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is also rumoured to include a new periscope camera that will allow for further zoom without adding extra bulk to the lens. The non-Pro versions of the iPhone 15 will largely be brought in line with the existing iPhone 14 Pro, rumours have suggested, though all the new phones will get a USB-C port. That will include getting its faster A16 Bionic chip, the dynamic island at the top of the display that replaced the notch and an improved camera. The event will be live streamed from Apple Park. Since the pandemic, Apple has moved away from holding onstage events, instead producing small films that are broadcast live online and shown to press at a screening at its Apple Park campus.
