After months of anticipation and speculation, Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden announced that he's selected Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate in the 2020 election.



Harris was long considered the frontrunner, so President Donald Trump's campaign was prepared to roll out the first attack ad against the Biden/Harris ticket minutes after the announcement.

Watch below.

The ad labels the United States Senator as "phony Kamala" and accuses her of "rushing to the radical left."

Then some awkward news broke.

Trump himself donated a total of six thousand dollars to Harris during her bids for California's Attorney General in 2011 and 2013.

As did Trump's beloved daughter, Ivanka Trump, to the tune of four thousand dollars in 2014.

Harris didn't accept Trump's donations, and instead donated the six thousand dollars to an organization advocating for Central Americans.

The Trump campaign released a statement in reaction to the Harris pick, in which they falsely claimed that Harris called Biden a racist in the first Democratic debate.

It looks like the Trump campaign's first attacks against Harris are doomed to fall flat.




Praise for Harris poured out across the internet—including from women largely considered frontrunners for the VP selection.





At a press briefing on Tuesday afternoon—after calling Harris "nasty"—Donald Trump was beginning to leave the podium when a White House correspondent shouted, asking why he donated to her. Trump walked away without answering.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
