🐘 Can anyone beat Trump?

Trump's landslide win in Iowa has some saying he's unbeatable, but can rivals like Haley or DeSantis flip the script?

🐘 After Trump’s win at the Iowa caucuses, WaPo argues that his grip on the GOP seems unshakeable, with MAGA dominating the Republican landscape.

🐘 But the LA Times thinks Nikki Haley has a shot to overtake Trump in New Hampshire.

🐘 On the other hand, a different WaPo opinion insists that Trump will keep his grip on the GOP well past Iowa. Haley and DeSantis need a miracle to disrupt his momentum.

🐘 Still, The Economist says Trump's legal troubles could potentially shake up the GOP race — it's too soon to say anything for sure.

👕 Slogan tees are making a comeback

Slogan tees are all the rage again, but what's behind the resurgence in popularity?

👕 Stylist says slogan tees are making a comeback as the ultimate fashion statement and conversation starter.

👕 But why? The Guardian thinks Gen Z loves slogan tees because they're a playful identity statement in a social media era.

👕 But Vogue says slogan tees are a Gen Z favorite because they're part of the Y2K aesthetic. And the tees have evolved from earnest messages to ironic, self-aware expressions.

👕 And Photobook Magazine agrees: Blame the Y2K comeback for the slogan tee's resurgence. Celebs also love using them to squash internet trolls.
