Rep. Lauren Boebert reignites Kid Rock dating rumours after Rock N Rodeo appearance

For the outing, which netizens claimed to be a 'double date,' Boebert and Rock donned cowboy hats to match the theme of the rock and roll rodeo event, which was a part of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World Finals. The 38-year-old MAGA representative added a patriotic touch to her ensemble with American flag-themed boots.
'Last night,' Loesch captioned her post, which raised several eyebrows. Netizens inquired if Boebert and Rock were 'together' as the photo reignited the rumours which began earlier this year. Back in February, the duo made headlines after a video of them getting into a cab together in Washington, DC, at 2:30 am went viral.

Their taxi ride came after they partied together to celebrate Donald Trump's return to the White House. The following day, TMZ released a clip of them chatting. The outlet reported at the time that 'Lauren was totally transfixed by the rock star, yapping away, doing a little dance, and clapping like she was front row at his concert — basically giving Kid Rock all the hype he needed.'

The Democrats who find 'abundance liberalism' threatening
The Democratic Party could use a makeover. Donald Trump's victory in November showed that the party can no longer rely on bashing him to win elections. The Republican president is trusted more than Democrats, whose approval rating is the lowest it's been in 35 years. Democrats are searching for a positive vision to inspire voters, and leading the pack, at least among party elites, is the brand of 'abundance'. Popularised in a recent book by journalists Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, abundance types advocate for overhauling a decades-old liberalism of bureaucratic red tape with one that builds clean energy, infrastructure and, above all, affordable housing. Even Zohran Mamdani, the socialist Democratic nominee for New York City mayor who wants to freeze rents, has given the abundance wing of the Democratic Party a few nods. But the high-powered Maryland suburbs outside Washington suggest the politics of abundance can be treacherous. Montgomery County is one of the 30 richest counties in America. Nearly 75% of its 1m residents voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. When the Democratic-controlled county council entertained a plan last autumn to rezone large swathes of exclusively single-family-home neighbourhoods—allowing for multi-unit dwellings, townhouses and apartment buildings—liberal suburbanites rained hell. 'This is a radical change that will be the death of single-family communities,' said one man, as hundreds gathered to mock and boo council members in a high-school auditorium. 'There was massive resistance,' recalled Will Jawando, a council member. 'People were apoplectic.' That backlash helped whittle down the proposed rezoning to little more than 1% of single-family homes along main thoroughfares, which the council passed this July, over more boos and groans. Left-leaning suburbanites have many reasons to oppose rezoning, from concerns about overcrowding their high-performing schools to parking, wastewater management and traffic. But they boil down to one: they like the suburbs. 'There is always a reason for why housing shouldn't be built,' says Andrew Friedson, the council member behind the rezoning reform. To dislodge the 'country-club mentality' thwarting rezoning in Montgomery County, he intends to ask homeowners how their children and grandchildren could afford to live there. 'When it comes to housing, expanding the supply of homes will reduce the rapid acceleration of housing values. That is what abundance is supposed to do,' says Richard Kahlenberg, author of the book 'Excluded' and director of housing policy at the Progressive Policy Institute. When Donald Trump took the White House in 2016, yard signs began to pop up with platitudes like 'Black Lives Matter', 'No Human is Illegal' and 'Science is Real'. 'None of that requires an ounce of sacrifice on the account of progressive elites,' says Mr Kahlenberg, a county resident. 'Voters who are completely opposed to building a wall with Mexico are quite comfortable building walls around their communities.' Homeowners naturally reject the charge of elitism. They see so-called affordable housing as a Trojan horse—a means by which developers can lay claim to the suburbs. 'No developer giveaways at our expense,' read yard signs outside quaint million-dollar homes on the drive into Washington. Far from making housing more affordable, residents expect the arrival of luxury developments to raise their home values. They can point to a house in the town of Chevy Chase that sold for $1.6m and was converted into three luxury townhouses, each listed for more than $3m. 'It's a total scam to benefit developers instead of representing the people that live here,' said Gerald Smith, an interior architect, who is among the dozens protesting the rezoning effort on Connecticut Avenue, a thoroughfare into Washington. Democratic infighting has fuelled a competition for progressive virtue. Kim Persaud, a community activist from the heavily Hispanic town of Wheaton, called rezoning a 'racist policy' and 'blatant injustice' that would displace black and Hispanic renters so wealthy white people can live in luxury condos. She said the majority of those for rezoning are 'young white kids who come from privilege' and whose parents could gift them a down payment. During a county hearing, one self-described white, privileged young renter said that the rezoning proposal was necessary to house 'the thousands of queer people, people of colour and immigrants who live in dangerous, conservative states and need to move to our sanctuary county'. It's not as if rezoning's opponents despise all of abundance liberalism. Marc Elrich, the county's Democratic chief executive, is a critic of the movement. But he wants to build, too. Mr Elrich hopes to make Montgomery County resemble its more business-oriented neighbour, Virginia, where regulations ensure that new buildings are in line with a community's existing character and taxes on development are spread out over time. In May Mr Elrich announced the county's first-ever Tax Increment Financing proposal, which aims to spur development in the eastern part of the county. Under the plan taxes would directly fund infrastructure such as roads and utilities. The backlash to rezoning in Montgomery County shows the limits of abundance liberalism as a national political programme for the Democratic Party. The suburbs are not built like New York City, nor do their residents want them to be. 'These ideologues want to urbanise everything. People move to the suburbs for quiet. The more they are estranged from real people, the more they are going to lose,' says Mr Elrich, warning his fellow Democrats. Mr Friedson, the local abundance crusader, has made many enemies who wish to sink his race for county executive. To make housing abundant and affordable, he sees the need for a new Democratic coalition, one that is younger, more engaged and more diverse. In other words, a party that does not yet exist.

Musk might back Vance for President in 2028 as he halts own party plan
Elon Musk, a friend turned critic of US President Donald Trump, has a frontrunner in mind for the 2028 US Presidential race, and it is not Trump.

But he recently told close associates that he would rather focus on his business ventures than risk splitting the Republican vote in Washington, according to the Wall Street seemingly believes that forming a new party could strain his relationship with Vance. The Tesla CEO has indicated that he would provide financial support if Vance decides to run for President in 2024, Musk contributed nearly 300 million dollars to Trump and other Republican campaigns, helping secure Trump's second HAS NOT ENTIRELY RULED OUT LAUNCHING AMERICA PARTYDespite signals to support Vance, Musk has not entirely ruled out launching his own political party. He is reportedly waiting to see the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections before making a final first threatened to start a new party last month during a public clash with Trump over the so-called Big Beautiful Bill Act (BBBA), which Musk described as a "disgusting abomination".His initial plan was modest: to contest a handful of Senate and House seats, enough to sway key votes on controversial response to the Journal's report, Musk posted on X, "Nothing @WSJ says should ever be thought of as true," offering no further comment."My hope is that by the midterms, he's come back into the fold (sic)," Vance said in the interview, which aired earlier this June, a Trump confidant told Axios that the President was left emotional over the bitter online feud with his "first buddy" Musk."The president was actually hurt," the source said. "Yes, he has feelings, and he was hurt the way anyone would be when a friend turns on them."Musk criticised Trump's proposed Build Back Better America (BBBA) spending package as fiscally irresponsible, labelling it a "disgusting abomination" that would undermine his efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency and add trillions to the deficit.- EndsMust Watch
