Are we living in the f*cking twiglight zone? These headlines sound fake… but they’re not.

The Supreme Court is weighing in on conversion therapy and birthright citizenship. Kristi Noems husband, Bryon Noem, is caught in a Bimbofication scandal. Trump is making history (again) by personally showing up to argue his case. A MAGA political scandal is going viral for all the wrong reasons. A January 6 pardon story takes a dark turn. And somehow, the Pussycat Dolls are involved in political drama too.

Yeah. It’s a lot. Bring me my martini!
