Rice Royalty And Gus Walz
Honoring legends and the sweetest kids in politics.
| Farewell to an icon. |
FROM MUA HQ
The week of August 24, 2024 was being truly thrilled at a Democratic National Convention for the first time since 2008. Our fave moments:
- Michelle Obama, a queen – who says “Do Something.”
- Tim Walz? Our menstrual hero, Tampon Tim? Could we be any more delighted by him and his high school football team?
- Doug Emhoff shouting out his mother who is the only person who thinks Kamala is lucky to have married him, versus the other way around.
- Lil Jon and the state roll call. Turn down for the NOMINATION, yo.
