Baby, it's been a week in Trump’s America, and we’ve got thoughts. From DEI programs getting the boot to a bishop (SUPPOSEDLY) stirring up drama, and even rumors of a third term—what is happening?! Plus, we dive into the most random tea (ALLEGEDLY, ALLEGEDLY!!) about a former front man of a Christian rock band. Meanwhile, is Beyoncé about to drop some news or just playing with us? We dive into the 2025 Grammy predictions and lock in our own, unpack the Oscars nomination chaos, and gag over the latest twists in Traitors. It's all tea, shade, and we are keepin’ it real this week. Don’t miss it, besties! 💅🏾✨
