Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has faced criticism from every angle after being caught taking a Cancun vacation in the midst of his state's winter storm emergency.

After relentless mockery from the internet and harsh condemnation from politicians from both political parties, Cruz cut his trip short and returned to Texas.

Shortly thereafter, Cruz posted several photos of himself distributing packages of bottled water to Texans on Twitter.

Twitter wasn't swayed by Cruz's generosity, which many saw as a craven PR stunt.



Many pointed out that while Cruz was traveling to and from Mexico, Democratic politicians were actively trying to help the Texans he left behind.



Cruz passing out his water was quickly turned into a shameful meme.



Many also pointed out after traveling internationally, CDC guidelines required Cruz to quarantine.



It seems scolding Cruz online had some positive consequences.


It seems Ted Cruz is going to have to do more than pass out some water to get back in people's good graces after his Cancun controversy.

McDonald's is doing a collaboration with KPop Demon Hunters, and people haven't talked about a pop culture restaurant menu partnership as much as this one since, probably, The Grinch or Shrek, both of which also rocked bright, unrealistic food coloring.

Next month, the KPop Demon Hunters X McDonald's menu items will appear at most United States locations, at some locations in Korea, and there are rumors of at least some of the menu items turning up in other countries, as well.

The shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now the longest in history at 45 days and it will stretch on without an agreement between the House and the Senate as lawmakers prepare to leave Washington for Easter break; neither chamber is set to return to Washington until the week of April 13.
