"Donate Search… Heroes and Monsters 2025 December 30, 2025 Monsters of 2025: Rappers Gone MAGA Donald Trump is collecting rappers like Infinity Stones, and many seem more than happy to be his tokens. Arianna Coghill Assistant News and Engagement Writer Bio | Follow Square photo of Nicki Minaj in a frame with a white border on a black background. Nicki is pictured crouching, left hand positioned under her chin, as she performs on stage. Various stickers are layered on top of the frame and background, including one that reads "MONSTER" over and over, "2025", two pair of eyes, purple stars, and two green yuck faces.

This is a non-exhaustive and totally subjective list, giving our reporters a chance to write about something that brought joy, discontent, or curiosity. Happy holidays. It seems like a relic now. But Donald Trump’s presidency once saw some of the culture’s most high-profile rappers grab their mics to condemn the president’s authoritarian policies. There was Ice Cube, dropping songs like “Arrest the President,” Childish Gambino shaking the world with the provocative music video for “This is America.” MOTHER JONES TOP STORIES symbol 00:12 03:12 Read More But for some of those very same artists, Trump’s return to the White House is suddenly sounding copacetic, even good. The worst offender? Nicki Minaj. There she was last week, a surprise guest at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, where, sitting next to Erika Kirk, Minaj praised JD Vance as an “assassin” and called Trump “dashing” and “handsome.” That was roughly one after Minaj accepted the Trump administration’s invitation to speak at the United Nations, only to parrot Trump’s false claims that the Nigerian government is purposefull…

His new wife just had a beautiful son and nu daughter showed me a post he made that pissed her off and when I read it, it pissed me off:
Carlos Moore: "My advice to CJ will br don't marry a woman that only looks good in makeup and wigs or weave. Find one that's a natural beauty like your mom who without a drop of makeup is drop dead gorgeous and has the real thay didn't cost her a dime. That my son will keep you interested morning, noon and night."

Something is wrong woth this country. For future president and these are the people you are looking at?
Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump’s most obvious successor at the head of the MAGA movement, scored highest in the latest survey from Emerson College Polling on just 46 percent, with another 41 percent of respondents viewing him unfavorably, and a further 13 percent unsure. South Africa-born tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has never held elected office, was ranked second on 40 percent. However, a larger 46 percent of people said they took a dim view of his theoretical candidacy, with just 14 percent unsure.

This is bullshit. White men stopped going to college on their own. For various reasons. The anti-education movement by white people in general wanted to shift to skill jobs. Nothing is wrong with that but don't act like its because of Civil Rights.
"Well, I think that a lot of people were very badly treated," Trump said. "White people were very badly treated, where they did extremely well, and they were not invited to go into a university or college." Trump's comments were a clear attack on affirmative action for college admissions, which was effectively ended by a 2023 Supreme Court ruling. He did not cite any data suggesting white students have been disadvantaged by Civil Rights policy.

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility. There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified. This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

No difference in what she said in my opinion. Actually more forceful.

A lot of this has to do with 2024 and the fallout due to some white progressives sabotaging Harris along with Establishment Democrats. I am telling you that you there are going to be issues and only certain Black people see it. Shit is hitting the fan
The new Fall 2025 Yale Youth Poll examined the favorability ratings of potential candidates through several lenses, including race, and found that Black voters favored only former vice president Kamala Harris in any meaningful way. The defeated 2024 nominee is picking up the support of 47 percent of respondents, who said they would vote for her if a primary were held today. Her theoretical rivals all scored poorly, from California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 12 percent to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 9 percent, ex-U.S. transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg at 4 percent, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz at 1 percent, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro at 0 percent.

The first damn thing to come to my phone this morning. It still doesnt make sense. You know, Donald J. Trump and Project 2025 were on the ballot.
"Kamala Harris lost last year’s US presidential election because she chased the wrong voters with the wrong message, ultimately demobilising the very base that she needed to win, according to an autopsy by a progressive grassroots advocacy group. The vice-president focused on courting moderate Republicans over motivating core Democratic working-class, young and progressive voters, a misstep compounded by her failure to break from Joe Biden on Gaza, says the report by RootsAction."

I usually don't do the screenshot thing but I will this time. Schumer is politicking here to place the Republicans on the defense with this issue. The folks saying this shit has no idea what the fuck he is doing and just decide to be shit starters. Politics is about strategy. Schumer here is clearly
Schumer is a giant creep but he’s a symptom not the problem. The Dem Party is built only to fight constructive change and serve big donors. We need to defeat BOTH parties

Great article and this bit right here, I will never let him live it down.
Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator from Connecticut, told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Platner sounds like a mistake-making human being who was, like so many soldiers, going through a “difficult time.” The tattoo, his words implied, shouldn’t worry us too much. Platner is a man who can speak to “working-class concerns,” and that is what the party must prioritize.

This is not accurate and not the real problem.
Democrats didn't do that. Most white voters fled by choice. The Civil Rights Act pissed them off. Democrats haven't gained a majority of white votes since then. Please don't rewrite history.
Whites have fled the Democratic Party. Here’s how the nation got there.

Read the article sir
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) proclaimed last week that if “an individual doesn’t want to support the party’s nominee [now], it complicates their ability to ask voters to support any nominee [later].” Precisely. This is the very same logic that disqualifies Mamdani from seeking these endorsements today. Mamdani didn’t just fail to support Democratic presidential nominees Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden in last year’s existentially urgent campaign, he spoke out and organized against them. In March of 2024, Mamdani urged voters to withhold their vote from Biden.

Amazing
“She’ll fight, she’ll scream till a bloody pulp if she had to. You know, she’s truly a fighter.” And then comes the kicker: that part of a New York spirit that she shares with Donald Trump? “Oh yes. So much so that they could be brother and sister,” says Roselyn, who lives in a New York district that not only elected hard-Left Ms Ocasio-Cortez – known as AOC – but also saw Mr Trump’s share of the vote surge by 11 points.
