It looks like former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) will have his scandalous life story immortalized in film.
Barely 24 hours after Congress kicked Santos out, Deadline reported that HBO Films is developing a film based on Mark Chiusano’s book, The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos. Chiusano’s book was released late last month.
Santos shot back with an accusation that Max Miller is a “woman-beater.”
The screenplay is being written by Mike Makowsky, the screenwriter behind the 2019 school embezzlement drama Bad Education, and executively produced by Frank Rich, who worked on the HBO satirical political series Veep and the HBO familial corporate drama series Succession.

“The film tells the story of a seemingly minor local race that wound up a battle for the soul of Long Island, and unexpectedly carved the path for the world’s most famous (and now disgraced) congressman,” entertainment journalist Nellie Andreeva wrote. “It follows the Gatsby-esque journey of a man from nowhere who exploited the system, waged war on truth, and swindled one of the wealthiest districts in the country to achieve his American Dream.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s homoerotic 1925 novel The Great Gatsby follows a wealthy millionaire who is dishonest about his past. Santos has admitted to fabricating large parts of his personal history during his election campaign. He is currently facing 23 federal charges of campaign finance fraud.
“Why would I want to stay here? To hell with this place,” Santos said immediately after the vote. C-SPAN removed Santos’ name plaque from his Capitol office door shortly after the vote.
Gay Asian actor Bowen Yang has regularly portrayed Santos on the weekly sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. It’s unlikely that he’ll be considered to portray Santos in a dramatic film.
Prosecutors in Chicago have failed to charge a suspect identified in photo lineups as the shooter who killed a trans woman and her mother in a home invasion in January . Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23. Unique Banks, 20, and her mother Alexsandra Olmo, 43, were killed at the scene. Three other victims were hospitalized in critical condition. One witness told investigators they had seen two males running north from the courtyard building wearing green camouflage. The shooting took place on th
In the early 90s, as the AIDS crisis reached a fever pitch and LGBTQ+ hate crimes rose to their highest level in decades, a serial killer preyed upon New York City’s queer community. Based on the true-crime book by Elon Green, HBO’s docuseries Last Call chronicles the story of a string of queer murders in four parts. The series deep dives into both the heinous killings and the botched investigation thereafter. To cover a case this dynamic, the filmmakers behind the series spoke to a wide swath of subjects. The episodes are stacked with interviews from LGBTQ+ activists, NYPD officials, victims’ families, and club owners, all amist the backdrop of early 90s Manhattan archival footage.

Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
