A remarkable contrast.

Former White House photographer under President Barack Obama, Pete Souza, frequently trolls President Donald Trump with his photos from Obama's presidency, contrasting it with Trump's.

As Trump grapples with a whistleblower complaint describing multiple instances of Trump's unconstitutional promises made to world leaders. The White House is blocking the disclosure of the complaint's contents to Congress.


Souza recalled a happier time in the face of Trump's latest atrocity.

He highlighted one photograph of Obama on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. For contrast, Trump has gone to lengths to conceal details of his correspondence with Putin, who oversaw the attack on the 2016 Presidential election's legitimacy.

Souza posted another photo of Obama with European leaders discussing Ukraine on a secure video conference.  Trump is facing allegations that he leveraged Ukraine-U.S. relations to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open an investigation into false claims that former Vice President and current 2020  presidential candidate Joe Biden blocked a Ukrainian investigation into a company on which Biden's son was a board member.

The photos had people nostalgic for the Obama administration's higher level of transparency.

Another aspect of the photographs that Souza didn't point out was apparent to others.

Those were the days.

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.
