Since when is Amber Rose a rapper?
I guess it's time to add Nicki Minaj to this list.
More and more rappers are hopping abroad the Trump train
Amber Rose is pivoting from MUVA to MAGA. Other rappers are following suit.

Seriously. These ideas aren’t hard, Dems!
Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

I’m so tired of men talking about how manly men behave when they’re manning up
![Instagram caption from NPR of their interview with John Fetterman
In his new book, "Unfettered," Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized his party for losing the support of working class men, writing that President Trump appealed to them more because "he wasn't afraid to comment on things the left told us we were no longer allowed to have commonsense opinions on."
Fetterman also writes, “if men are forced to choose between picking their party or keeping their balls, most men are going to choose their balls.”
“I think there's been a disconnection,” he told "All Things Considered" host Scott Detrow. “It's just this idea and just being perceived as more anti-man […] And it's just a lot different kinds of energy that comes out from.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5fkaj7zmtrdz6o4az3vvlxbf/bafkreiadfrhld7ftk53pgpl2aaafm74uz2qivzeudf3nkmykvcx643fl7i@jpeg)

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.
A man pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in January 6th - he assaulted Capitol Police officers with bear spray & a metal whip - has avoided prison for child sex crimes because of the president’s sweeping pardon, despite pleading guilty to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

It’s so obvious my parents are from the silent generation. They can never talk about anything above the surface. Today’s call:
“How are you all doing?”
“Eh, just alright…”
“So we saw that you’re having a cold spell down there. Did it snow? Don’t forget to change your air filter!”

the thing is that there are only two explanations for this and they are both utterly disqualifying for Dem leadership
1. you knew they would come for abortion and you already decided you were willing to give it up
2. you did NOT know, because you are too gullible for the job you currently hold

Seemed obvious to me that the Dem surrender on the shutdown was orchestrated, with eight senators who are retiring or wouldn’t be facing primaries soon set up as the fall guys, leaving Chuck Schumer to disingenuously announce he was voting no. He was in on it the whole time.

We asked every Senate Democrat if they would bring such a motion or support it if someone else brought the motion. None of them responded.
But they have the power to do it.
