Hold up! I know what ur thinking. A law firm sliding into my DMs? Basic AF.

Well, we might be a law firm, but we are bussin. No cap! Fr fr.

So, I know a lot of y’all out there fw MrBeast. Str8 up a lot of folx do. Or did. Maybe u even did some gig work for bruh. Maybe u even unwittingly worked as a henchman for MrBeast, specifically between the dates 5/2023 and 11/2024.

No shame in that game—dead ass, gotta hustle—but also maybe u did some super sketchy or even illegal shizz and didn’t even realize it at the time? Look, every1 knows it used to slay to wear a mask and a fire leather uniform with a MrBeast logo on it and carry like a kind of laser rifle to order innocent people through an increasingly elaborate and sadistic series of challenges while MrBeast stood by laughing and also wearing a cape and jodhpurs, we’re pretty sure.

But u kno what? Let me be str8 up w u: That shizz is cheugy. It is cray to do any sort of henching for MrBeast. Especially when innocent people have gotten hurrrt by him in hella horrifying ways. Big yikes!

Trump’s Absolutely Crazed Tariff Policies: Brazil and Copper Edition

So, Trump sent a letter to Brazil announcing 50% tariffs. His demands are that Brazil stop prosecuting Bolsonaro (ex-President who tried to steal the last election, and stole the one before by getting Lula locked up on bogus charges) and that they let US social media platforms operate unfettered the country. If Brazil puts tariffs on US goods, then the US will increase its tariffs by the same amount.

“Trump’s Medicaid cuts are coming for rural Americans: ‘It’s going to have to hit them first.’ Experts worry the tax-and-spending bill will gut healthcare and hospitals, especially in states like North Carolina.” — The Guardian

The Department of Health and Human Services is excited to announce that, thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, which will Make Rural America Great Again, millions of rustic patriots are about to embark on an exciting journey of unregulated medicinal self-discovery. No longer shackled by the burdens of Medicaid, they’ll realize that Nosy Big Government was never going to solve anyone’s problems by paying bills willy-nilly.
