<p>Governor Gavin Newsom took a swipe at Vice President JD Vance on Saturday after learning that Vance and his family were enjoying a trip to Disneyland, referencing recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in California and other states.</p>
<p>Newsom, broadly discussed as a potential presidential candidate for the Democrats in 2028, responded to a post showing the vice president and his family smiling as they walked around &#8220;Bayou Country&#8221; at Disneyland — and he added his own comment: &#8220;Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t.&#8221;</p>

<p>Critics were quick to challenge Newsom&#8217;s assessment, however, with a number pointing out that California law allows the state to tear apart families if parents do not accept their child&#8217;s chosen gender identity.</p>
<p>&#8220;In California it is completely legal for child protective services to tear a family apart if they don’t believe their child is transgender. I’ve met families that have had this happen,&#8221; detransitioner and activist Chloe Cole posted.</p>

<p>&#8220;Your state takes children away from their parents if they refuse to buy into transgender madness You actually have a law on the books that you signed, that says that if a child in another state wants surgery that will sterilize that child, and the parents object, that all they have to do is run away from home and then they can go in front of a judge and get the right to sterilize themselves.

<p>President Donald Trump took a sledgehammer to Brazil on Wednesday, calling out the leftist government for its censorship of U.S. social media and its &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; targeting former conservative president Jair Bolsonaro.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1943043154946457812">letter</a> to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva — one of the many letters Trump has sent to countries around the world this week — the U.S. president deviated from his typical message announcing tariff rates to blast &#8220;Brazil&#8217;s insidious attacks on Free Elections, and the fundamental Free Speech Rights of Americans.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Dear Mr. President,&#8221; Trump began the letter. &#8220;I knew and dealt with former President Jair Bolsonaro, and respected him greatly, as did most other Leaders of Countries. The way that Brazil has treated former President Bolsonaro, a Highly Respected Leader throughout the World during his Term, including by the United States, is an international disgrace. This trial should not be taking place. It is a Witch Hunt that should end IMMEDIATELY!&#8221;</p>
<p>Last year, Bolsonaro was <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/21/americas/brazilian-ex-president-jair-bolsonaro-indicted-over-attempted-coup-plot/index.html">charged</a> alongside 36 other people for taking part in an alleged coup to overthrow the government after he lost the 2022 election to Lula. Brazilian prosecutors claim the plot included plans to commit political assassinations, but Bolsonaro has denied the allegations and argued that the charges against him are politically motivated. Bolsonaro has maintained the <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/09/23/brazilians-views-of-lula-and-bolsonaro/">support</a> of millions of Brazilians as he faces the indictment brought against him by Lula&#8217;s leftist government.</p>
<p>Trump has also defended Bolsonaro on numerous occasions, saying earlier this week that he will &#8220;be watching the WITCH HUNT of Jair Bolsonaro, his family, and thousands of his supporters, very closely.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The only Trial that should be happening is a Trial by the Voters of Brazil — It’s called an Election. LEAVE BOLSONARO ALONE!” he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114812490799920916">added</a>.</p>
<p>In his letter to Lula on Wednesday, Trump also slammed the government for going after American social media companies. Last year, the Brazilian Supreme Court upheld a nationwide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brazilian-judge-orders-suspension-of-x-social-media-platform-responds">ban</a> on Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform, X. The country&#8217;s Supreme Court took further action on the issue last month, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4a5235c5-acd0-4e81-9d44-2362a25c8eb3">ruling</a> that social media platforms can be held liable for their users&#8217; posts.</p>
<p>Trump wrote in the letter, &#8220;Due in part to Brazil&#8217;s insidious attacks on Free Elections, and the fundamental Free Speech Rights of Americans (as lately illustrated by the Brazilian Supreme Court, which has issued hundreds of SECRET AND UNLAWFUL Censorship Orders to U.S. Social Media platforms, threatening them with Millions of Dollars in Fines and Eviction from the Brazilian Social Media market), starting on August 1, 2025, we will charge Brazil a Tariff of 50% on any and all Brazilian products sent into the United States, seperate from all Sectoral Tariffs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump has sent numerous letters to countries around the world this week, informing them of the tariffs they will pay come August 1. The 50% tariff rate on Brazil is the highest one that Trump has unveiled this week, a rate that Trump said &#8220;is necessary &#8230; to rectify the grave injustices of the current regime.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Sarah Jessica Parker, best known for starring in the HBO drama series “Sex and the City,” explained why she doesn’t always comment on political issues.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I often don’t talk on social media because I don’t think it’s a place that’s deserving of any real complicated conversation,” the 60-year-old celeb </span><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-best-people-with-nicolle-wallace/id1817225413"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> during an appearance on the Monday episode of Nicolle Wallace’s “The Best People” podcast.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m not interested in quick little snippets when it’s dealing with conflict or even elections sometimes,” she added. “I really was so thoughtful about how I wanted to talk about the election because I think it turns into a distraction from a campaign. It turns into fodder. It’s misunderstood. You have no control over it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Parker also cited historical precedent, noting how “FDR was elected without social media.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Many things happened, right and left, Republicans and Democrats for many, many, many, many years — many generations were elected without someone having to say something on Instagram,” Parker continued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The HBO star said she will only speak on social issues if she’s “comfortable,” plus said she’s unwilling to speak on topics she doesn’t know enough about.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m not going to talk about stuff that I don’t feel educated on,” Parker told the podcast audience. “I’m not going to jump in on really complex areas that I feel are deserving of far more thought, consideration, nuance — which I know no one’s interested in. And I just feel like I want to be helpful. I don’t want to hurt something that matters to me.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To help educate herself about political issues, the actress said she tries to figure out “what is scary and what is dangerous.” She said she wants to know “the difference between something being said and the reality of it happening.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Parker has been criticized by fans for not always talking politics like so many other celebs, she did endorse Harris and Walz ahead of the 2024 election.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For the love of my country, For our public schools, for books, For common sense gun laws, For a living wage, For opportunity, For women, For voting rights, For the Dreamers, For arts and culture, For my mother and senior citizens,” she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBeB6dTxFgz/?hl=en">listed off </a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">in a 2024 Instagram caption alongside a photo of her hanging up a campaign sign. “With an abundance of joy, optimism and pride, I am voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz.”</span></p>

<p>Olympic gymnast Simone Biles appears to have deleted her X account, following massive backlash for her bizarre attack on women&#8217;s rights advocate Riley Gaines and the promotion of men in female sports.</p>

<p>“You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race,&#8221; Biles said to Gaines, for highlighting the inequality of allowing males to participate in female sports. &#8220;Straight up sore loser.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gaines did not lose to Lia Thomas, a man who competed in women&#8217;s collegiate swimming. She tied against the male and then was pushed to the side for a photoshoot so the NCAA could apparently highlight Thomas. Gaines has since become a fierce advocate for girls and women&#8217;s spaces and sports.</p>
<p>“Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male,” Biles said to Gaines.</p>
<p>The gymnast was hit with fierce backlash over the posts and she eventually apologized. Gaines accepted the apology, writing online, “<span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">I accept Simone’s apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me. I know she knows what this feels like. She’s still the greatest female gymnast of all time.&#8221; </span></p>
<p>Gaines on Monday reacted to Biles&#8217; account being terminated. In a post on X, she noted that Biles had &#8220;an incredibly unpopular and morally indefensible take,&#8221; got &#8220;rightfully ridiculed for it,&#8221; issued &#8220;a groveling public apology after unrelenting backlash,&#8221; and then deleted her account &#8220;to pretend it never happened.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sad to see such a phenom go down like this,&#8221; Gaines added.</p>

<p>The Los Angeles County Sheriff&#8217;s Department (LASD) deleted a social media post on Sunday and then apologized for it after calling the United States&#8217; bombing of key Iranian nuclear facilities a &#8220;tragic event.&#8221;</p>
<p>LASD released a statement saying, &#8220;Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran.&#8221; While the Trump administration <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg9r4q99g4o">says</a> that the strikes caused &#8220;severe damage&#8221; to Iran&#8217;s most important nuclear facilities, there have been no reported casualties from the U.S. bombing mission, and Iran <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg9r4q99g4o">claims</a> that all of the targeted facilities were evacuated before the attack.</p>
<p>In its now-deleted social media post, the L.A. County Sheriff&#8217;s Department added, &#8220;While this tragic event occurred overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff&#8217;s Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state, and federal partners.&#8221;</p>

<p>“So we know that some terrorists have crossed that border. We’d be a fool to think zero crossed,&#8221; Homan added. &#8220;The thing is, though, we’ve got President Trump as a commander in chief who has put all resources on that.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump will give TikTok’s owner more time to comply with a federal law mandating that it cannot be owned by a Chinese company because of national security concerns. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The extension will give ByteDance, the Chinese-based company that owns TikTok, another 90 days to find an American buyer. TikTok was first set to go dark in January 2025, but Trump has extended that deadline multiple times. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday. &#8220;This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump has previously expanded the deadline twice, once in January and then again in an April <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/extending-the-tiktok-enforcement-delay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> that directed the Justice Department not to enforce the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act” until June 19. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TikTok will now have until September to facilitate a deal with an American company or investor. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During his first term in office, Trump first moved to ban TikTok via executive order, a move that was later blocked. Several years later, President Joe Biden signed a bill mandating the sale of TikTok into law in April 2024 after broad Congressional support. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Days before Trump took office in January, the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-allows-tiktok-ban-to-take-effect" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> that Congress was justified in passing the ban because of concerns about the Chinese government using TikTok to harvest the private data of millions of Americans. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community,” the court wrote. “But Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The court was unconvinced that the ban amounted to restrictions on free speech. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is not clear that the Act itself directly regulates protected expressive activity, or conduct with an expressive component. Indeed, the Act does not regulate the creator petitioners at all. And it directly regulates ByteDance Ltd. and TikTok Inc. only through the divestiture requirement,” the court wrote. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Los Angeles school worker took to social media to tearfully spout rumors of an ICE raid at a nearby fifth-grade graduation ceremony. These rumors were proven completely false.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In his original post, the school worker, who goes by &#8220;Mr. Howie&#8221; on Instagram, claimed the Gratts Learning Academy for Young Scholars was hosting its graduation ceremony, when “all of a sudden, a bunch of parents have to run out because [ICE] is there.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Parents had to run out because they don’t have papers, and they had to leave their kids because the kids do,” he tearfully lamented. “What type of s*** is this, yo!

And we voted for this s***?”</span></p>

Viral Video Claiming ICE Raided A Fifth-Grade Graduation Proven To Be ‘Outright Lie’

Illegal Immigration

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

<p>On the surface, Victoria Sinis is indistinguishable from so many other marketing professionals.</p>
<p>Young, vivacious, and personable, the twenty-something Australian seems like she does PR for a cosmetics company or a trendy tech startup.</p>
<p>But Sinis’ job was something else entirely. For eight<b> </b>months, she trolled social media sites for girls who seemed underage or “barely legal,” and coaxed them into posting explicit content on OnlyFans.</p>
<p>The job was easier than it may seem. All she had to do was lie.</p>
<p>“If we had approached them with the truth and said, ‘Hey, do you want to sign up to do porn? We’ll take 20% of your income. You’re probably not going to earn a lot. You&#8217;re going to have to do some really extreme things. You&#8217;d be like, ‘No!’” Sinis told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Instead, she and the other recruiters messaged potential porn performers about their positive “vibe,” and invited them to lavish parties on yachts or fly them in to stay at villas in exotic locales.</p>
<p>Recruiters “show girls this lifestyle, and then say, ‘Would you like to be an OnlyFans creator and maximize your earnings?’” Sinis says.</p>
<p>While influencers parade high-rise apartments and luxury vacations on social media, the average OnlyFans creator earns about $180 a month.</p>
<p>“There’s a cultural myth that you can just sell feet pics and buy a Mercedes,” Sinis says. “But it’s a full-time job for very little return. We had girls post 20 videos a day across five accounts. We had SEO experts, lighting setups, even script templates.”</p>
<p>Sinnis worked at an OnlyFans agency, one of thousands of such companies that have sprung up to exploit both performers and their customers, who believe they’re purchasing access to these women.</p>
<p>While precise statistics are hard to come by, it has been estimated that there are roughly 3,000-5,000 such small agencies globally, and around 300-500 larger, <a href="https://www.creditdonkey.com/best-onlyfans-agency.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more established agencies</a> with significant client rosters and operations. Along with the 20% they pay to OnlyFans, managed performers also have to fork over a hefty commission of their usually meager earnings to them.</p>
<p>The existence of these agencies reveals the demand for adult content on OnlyFans, which was launched in 2016 with the promise that it would allow celebrities and influencers to monetize their content by selling it directly to fans.</p>
<p>At first, OnlyFans did not allow “not safe for work” content. But the platform lifted that prohibition in 2017, and the adult performers began flocking to the site. As COVID lockdowns fueled digital consumption in 2020, that trend only grew.</p>
<p>Today, it&#8217;s estimated that between <a href="https://social-rise.com/blog/onlyfans-statistics">70% and 80%</a> of OnlyFans’ 3 million creators are considered “not safe for work.”</p>
<p>Sinis joined her agency shortly after graduating with a marketing degree. She’d been working in hospitality, but when some friends approached her to join their company, she thought it seemed harmless. And she enjoyed working with her clients, women her agency euphemistically called “content creators,” many of whom she describes as funny and sweet.</p>
<p>As a recruiter, Sinis was tasked with convincing young women who had already built up a following posting risqué photos on Instagram or TikTok to take it one step further to overt “sex work.”</p>
<p>Her employer had a very specific target in mind.</p>
<p>“We recruited based on how young [the women] looked,” Sinis told The Daily Wire. Because girls who looked like they could plausibly be labeled “teen,” “fresh 18,” or “barely legal” made the most money, she and her fellow recruiters cold-messaged girls who looked underage or newly-adult and dazzled them with promises of potential wealth.</p>

<p>TikTok channels like The BOP House (short for Baddies on Point), which features a host of OnlyFans girls living in an L.A. mansion, boasting of their seven- and eight-figure earnings, have helped make the pitch easy. Convinced that they can earn massive incomes selling their bodies, some young tween and teen girls, Sinis says, are already filming pornographic content to prove their “experience” to OnlyFans recruiters, hopeful they might one day occupy the digital successor to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion.</p>
<p>What recruiters don’t mention: these girls won’t make much at all, unless they’re willing to film the most explicit and extreme content.</p>
<p>At Sinis’ agency, creators were asked what “level” of content they were comfortable filming. The scale ran from posing in lingerie (Level 1) to “everything but anal” (Level 4), and finally, violent sex and other hardcore acts (Level 5).</p>
<p>“Very quickly, we dropped Level 1 because it didn’t make money,” she says. That meant all the girls they recruited pretty much started at Level 2 — implied nudity. The recruiter’s job was to convince the women to advance through the levels.</p>
<p>“It isn’t, ‘You must do this,’” Sinis explains. “It’s more subtle than that. We would say things to the girls like, ‘This custom request for some explicit performance is worth $500. Are you sure you want to pass that up?’”</p>
<p>“We call it consent but really we were slowly wearing the women down. When a girl would say no to a custom video, and then get offered $1,000, we would continue to push them with, ‘Hey, we’re just checking in. Totally up to you though.’ But it’s not. It’s coercion.”</p>
<p>Some custom requests weren’t even sexual — just dark. One man, for instance, wanted a fake video of a man hanging off a ledge while a woman stepped on his fingers. These darker requests were what finally caused Sinis to question the work she was doing.</p>
<p>“When virtual sadism doesn’t cut it, what’s next — real violence?” she asks. “We are feeding violent, sexualized fantasies. And then we’re surprised when those fantasies spill into the real world.”</p>
<p>After visiting a church service one weekend and thinking of all the women she helped bring into porn, she tendered her resignation.</p>
<p>“I was crying every day, unable to open my laptop when I got to work,” she says. “I kept asking my coworkers, &#8216;Do you think it’s okay, what we do?&#8217;”</p>
<p>What they do is feed delusions — not just to the women they recruit, but to the men who subscribe.</p>
<p>OnlyFans’ appeal is that, unlike other pornographic websites, it allows subscribers to have a seeming personal interaction with performers. But subscribers who “chat” with performers often aren’t interacting with the women on screen.</p>
<p>“We hired chatters, cheap labor from the Philippines, who worked 12- to 16-hour days pretending to be these women,” Sinis says. These workers are given scripts and trained in the “girlfriend experience,” keeping men emotionally tethered, often believing they have genuine relationships with the creators.</p>
<p>“It plays on male loneliness, on their emotional vulnerability,” Sinis tells The Daily Wire. “We exploited men for profit just as much as we did the women performing.” This included training the “chatters” on upselling custom requests.</p>
<p>Sinis believes these men, often married or isolated, aren’t paying for explicit content so much as the sense of intimacy and validation it gives them.</p>
<p>“I had a guy tell me he thought he had a real connection. I had to break it to him: it’s all scripted. You&#8217;re talking to a stranger, quite possibly another man, on another continent.”</p>
<p>Nowhere are these false relationships more harmful than with young men. Children, on average, first see pornography at age 12, though some are exposed to explicit content as young as seven. Studies show that rising pornography consumption is fueling an epidemic of emotional withdrawal, and causing a sharp drop in dating and relationships among Gen Z males.</p>
<p>“I met a 13-year-old boy in Georgia who broke down in tears telling me he watches porn and no one knows,” Sinis recalled. “The shame, the secrecy — it’s soul-crushing.”</p>
<p>Since leaving the industry, Sinis has begun to consider how we might roll back the damage that porn is doing to society. As someone who’s been on the inside, her prescription for change isn’t limited to legislation, though she supports age verification laws like those passed in Utah.</p>
<p>Instead, she advocates for cultural revolution: equipping parents, educating children early, and building a counter-narrative that emphasizes the importance of marriage, family, and faith.</p>
<p>“We need to stop shaming young men and women, and start attacking the real enemy: the $97 billion porn industry that’s consuming them both,” she says.</p>
<p>“This world has light and darkness,” Sinis said. “And OnlyFans feeds the darkness.&#8221;</p>

<p>Social media erupted this weekend over an alleged racial comment WNBA player Brittney Griner made about opponent Caitlin Clark, who is white.</p>
<p>Unconfirmed reports floated on X and Instagram highlighting video of Griner after she fouled out of Friday&#8217;s game against the Indian Fever, the team Clark plays for. Griner&#8217;s alleged to have made a comment about Clark and the referee being &#8220;f***ing white girls.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Brittney Griner, whom Biden traded for the Merchant of Death, called Caitlin Clark and the white female ref: &#8216;Trash, f***ing white girls&#8217; after getting fouled out,&#8221; Outkick reporter Bobby Burack posted, captioning video of the alleged incident.</p>

<p>Comments online say a full-blown investigation would have been launched if the alleged racial comment was made against a black player. Others stood up for Clark and suggested some in the WNBA are jealous of her success.</p>
<p>&#8220;Holy s*** this is getting ridiculous,&#8221; one comment liked by hundreds of people reads. &#8220;[Caitlin Clark] is the WNBA&#8217;s generational player that is finally going to put this league on the map and these women can&#8217;t get over their petty jealousy and enjoy the fruits about to come their way.&#8221;</p>

<p>Notably, Griner seemed to complain about Clark bringing in new fans to the WNBA last year, suggesting some of them are racist.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t appreciate the new fans that sit there and yell racial slurs at myself, my teammates, and the people that I play against because, yeah, those are my best opponents but those are friends too,&#8221; Griner said at the time.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The feud between President Donald Trump and pop star Taylor Swift has reignited, with Trump declaring himself the victor in a Truth Social post.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she&#8217;s no longer ‘HOT?’&#8221; the president </span><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114517718765768352"><span style="font-weight: 400;">shared</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with his followers on Friday morning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The animosity between Swift and Trump is not new. In September 2024, Trump posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” days after the singer revealed on Instagram that she endorsed Trump’s rival, Democrat Kamala Harris, for president following the debate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote at the time. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump said in an interview on Fox News&#8217;s “Fox &amp; Friends” that he “was not a Taylor Swift fan” and said “she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace,” as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reacts-to-taylor-swifts-kamala-endorsement"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes MUCH better, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told the hosts in September, referencing Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes. Brittany made headlines after she liked a Trump post and had to defend herself against the “haters.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She’s a big Trump fan,” he added. “I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. She couldn’t … you couldn’t possibly endorse [President Joe] Biden.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him,” Trump continued. “But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Swift, 35, closed out her popular Eras Tour in December and has maintained a lower profile ever since. She is currently in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Spirit Airlines passenger posted a video which has since gone viral showing cockroaches crawling around on the inside of the aircraft, which prompted a response from airline reps.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Symoné Beez originally shared the post to X on May 11. “Never again will I fly [Spirit Airlines],” she wrote in the video caption. “I&#8217;ve flown over 500,000 miles on Delta and have never in my life seen roaches on a plane this is crazy.”</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One video showed a brown roach crawling up the back of a chair from the back seat pocket as another airline passenger murmured in the background. Another clip showed a roach crawling up the plane’s wall.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The next day, Beez posted a follow up that said, “Update I was given a $60 [Spirit Airlines] credit… I won&#8217;t be flying Spirit again one and done for me lol.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The airline passenger posted a photo of the letter she received with the voucher. It said, “We sincerely apologize for what happened on your recent trip. We care about your satisfaction and want to make this right. Please accept our apologies along with this voucher for future travel to any of our destinations.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She also responded to commenters who said cockroaches were commonly seen on planes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“All the people saying roaches are common on planes are lying LMAO I&#8217;ve flown 550,000 miles with  Delta. I&#8217;ve never even seen an ant on Delta let alone two big a** roaches in first class,” Beez wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spirit Airlines responded to the video by issuing a statement saying the company was &#8220;aware of the video&#8221; and their &#8220;maintenance team thoroughly inspected the aircraft involved and addressed the issue.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We maintain high standards of cleanliness across our fleet and want all of our guests to feel comfortable when traveling with us,&#8221; a spokesperson told </span><a href="https://people.com/cockroaches-captured-on-video-crawling-up-the-walls-of-spirit-airlines-cabin-to-trapped-passenger-s-horror-11734815"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The clip of the crawling roaches has 8 million views on X as of Thursday. Many commenters weighed in on the situation, including those who stated they were airline employees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve deada** never seen a roach on a plane and been on all different kind of planes except Spirit,” one person </span><a href="https://x.com/camperry21/status/1921982318488559677"><span style="font-weight: 400;">noted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“[I]t’s not common, but it’s not unheard of,” another person </span><a href="https://x.com/nonamerising/status/1922047588716388837"><span style="font-weight: 400;">replied</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “I worked for a major airline for years. those planes don’t get deep cleaned like you’d think, and people (travelers and employees) can bring from home all kinds of stuff. roaches, bedbugs, etc. I’ve seen roaches in both DCA and PHL.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I used to work for a major airline and have flown internationally and domestically. I have never seen so much as an ant on a plane. Spirit is just ridiculous. They’re so awful that I forfeited my return ticket on them. I ate it &amp; paid another carrier more because, NO,” someone else </span><a href="https://x.com/alloydesq/status/1922003862367465490"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
