What a month it’s been, Secular Fam!
So obvi, a few things have happened recently, and we’re likely all suffering from a massive case of whiplash, but here goes:
- Trump was shot in the ear
- Trump announced that JD Vance is his VP pick
- Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed VP Kamala Harris
- Harris broke fundraising records in a jaw dropping fashion
- People started calculating how many childless cat ladies (and men) vote in AZ (it’s substantial)
- The Paris Olympics made uninformed “christians” big mad about things they don’t understand
- The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) hosted an interview with Trump
- Harris announced Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) to be her running mate
- People thought “Tampon Tim” was a hilarious insult
