How Epstein Mania Finally Let Democrats Talk (and Meme) Like the Right

On July 14, a bizarre new post appeared on the Instagram account of the Democratic congressman Hank Johnson, of Georgia. In the video, Johnson strums off-rhythm chords on an expensive-looking acoustic guitar and sings a not-especially-in-tune version of the Jason Isbell song 'Dreamsicle' — with most of the lyrics changed. 'Epstein died by suicide/Believe that and you must be blind,' he croons. 'You've been telling us you'd release the files/But where are they?' There were a lot of strange things happening here, in both the message (a sitting congressman using an official communications channel to casually endorse the theory that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered) and the delivery (from its strained effort to the befuddling retention of a few lyrics from the original song: 'Dreamsicle on a summer night/In a folding lawn chair'). Layered together, these things were disorienting but transfixing, like something from the mind of David Lynch. I got a similarly dizzy feeling from 'Trump Not Like Us,' a video posted a few days later by the Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump Republican group. This, too, was a musical cover with Epstein-themed lyrics — this time, an A.I. revision of Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us.' ('You know Epstein was the plan's designer/Bet you Trump's in the files in bed with a minor.') The video renders real-world figures as Jim Henson-style puppets: There's Epstein, Trump, the F.B.I. deputy director Dan Bongino, Attorney General Pam Bondi and others. In one scene, an A.I.-generated Muppet Trump reclines on Epstein's private jet, receiving a foot massage and being fed McDonald's French fries by scantily clad young Muppet women — an image I won't forget anytime soon unless I'm very, very lucky. The style of both videos — their goofy, very-online mix of accusations and insinuations, their readiness to just say stuff — reminded me of nothing so much as Donald Trump himself. This is exactly the kind of political communication that he and his supporters have spent the past decade bringing to the forefront of American politics. Across that decade, the usual strategy for Trump's critics, Republicans and Democrats alike, has been to adopt a contrasting seriousness: They have tried to present as the high-minded adults in the room, the ones who aren't constantly slinging insults, posting nasty cartoon memes and stoking fringe theories. Videos like Johnson's 'Dreamsicle' cover and 'Trump Not Like Us' take the opposite approach. They gleefully embrace a type of messaging that has animated many Trump voters, because that is exactly the audience they hope to reach. Even for the Lincoln Project, which has launched aggressive, mudslinging attacks before, portraying Epstein's 'Lolita Express' with Muppets feels like the crossing of some Rubicon. For Democrats, all this must be a tempting change of pace. A similar giddiness is palpable in other posts, too. On X, Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, posted a photo of Trump and Epstein together, using a popular meme format that incorporates lyrics from the Nickelback song 'Photograph.' House Majority PAC, a major Democratic political-action group, published a 'G.O.P. Epstein Simps Target List,' accusing the identified Republicans of 'simping' for Epstein by voting against the release of more information. And the Democratic Party introduced @TrumpEpsteinBot, an X account that every day answers the question 'Has Trump released the Epstein files?' by posting, simply, 'No.' Want all of The Times?

Drake Gushed Over Gracie Abrams In A ‘Weird' Post, And Social Media Users Are Side-Eyeing Him

Drake has sparked discourse with his latest post about Gracie Abrams. On Monday, the Canadian rapper shared a photo in his Instagram Stories of the songwriter seemingly showcasing what appeared to be a small birthmark on her arm. Drake then followed up his post with a snapshot of himself performing with a similar brown birthmark. 'I used to hate my birthmark but Gracie got the same one,' he captioned the post. 'Now it's art.' Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, quickly started chatting about Drake's post. drake reposting gracie wtf😭😭 wasn't in my bucket list — inès is DYING (@vinylmar) August 4, 2025 why is drake posting gracie oh my god stay away — sofia ⋆˚࿔ (@noshameluvrr) August 4, 2025 I know a lot of bad things are happening lately but Drake posting about Gracie Abrams feels the most indicative of the end times drawing near — hot and mysterious vampire (@puketrilli) August 5, 2025 this is very weird and creepy — vespera (@vesperamyst) August 5, 2025 Drake got her on his story quoting birthmarks like it's poetry.I'd delete my whole identity if he posted me like that — Jazmine 🌹 (@jazziscurly) August 5, 2025 Abrams has not yet publicly responded to Drake's comments. Reps for Abrams didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's requests for comment. Drake has sung praises for Abrams in the past. In an Instagram Story in March, the five-time Grammy winner gushed over the singer's tune 'I Knew It, I Know You' from her second studio album 'The Secret of Us.' ″[goat emoji]'d beat switch on this,' Drake wrote of the song. 'Second half is [pleading face emoji, brain exploding emoji, blue heart emoji].'
