Dems Join Trump’s Meme-Battle, Micronation Dictator in Nevada, & Song of the Summer?

In this episode, the Newsgirls break down Trump’s latest rage bait, Governor Newsom’s trolling, and the White House’s notorious deportation memes. We speak to the masterminds behind last year’s viral KamalaHQ success to learn about their strategy and how to stay relevant in the new political landscape.  Then, Wren & Mabel welcome a world leader: the President…of the micronation Molossia located within Nevada! From banning onions to cookie dough currency to its ongoing war with (defunct) East Germany, it’s the strangest 1.3 acre country you’ll ever hear about.  Finally, the Newsgirls ask why isn’t there a song of the summer this year?! You know it’s bad when not even Sabrina Carpenter can save it… SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pt0zvmOkHB3WdWJrv5Hb3_l1IFGZql9LWq6CnU8YtBk/edit?tab=t.0 Learn more about your ad choices.
