This episode kicks off with the federal government freezing $10 billion in social service funds—including child care and TANF grants—to five Democratic-led states (California, New York, Illinois, Minnesota, and Colorado) over alleged misuse and fraud. Officials cite systemic misuse and say the freeze ensures proper spending, while critics call it political retribution and warn it risks undermining supports for low-income families in these states.  

Next, Cardi B fires back at blogger Tasha K during an online showdown tied to new allegations involving her boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs. Tasha K evoked witness tampering, and Cardi strongly denied the claim, threatening legal action over continued harassment—reminding fans that Tasha still owes her a six-figure defamation payout. 

In a lighter segment, Chloe Bailey clapped back on Insta Live when a troll criticized her weight—calling it “getting big.” She snapped, “Even if I was… what about it?” before telling them to “send a pic” and reminding fans that “stress got my waist snatched”—firmly reclaiming control over her body image.  

Finally, the White House has reaffirmed interest in Greenland, calling its control a national security priority. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted the U.S. is considering a “range of options” including military force—a statement that triggered bipartisan and international backlash, with many allies denouncing any threat to Denmark’s sovereignty.
