From Sydney Sweeney turning heads in American Eagle jeans to Gavin Newsom dusting off Trump’s old playbook with a fresh round of gerrymandering, the culture wars are alive and well. Cracker Barrel decides it’s time to ditch the barrel (and Uncle Herschel) in a bold rebrand, while Google stirs controversy with a “preferred source” option that risks deepening divides online. And if that wasn’t enough, the merch wars heat up with the jaw-dropping arrival of “Trump Was Right About Everything” hats.It’s politics, pop culture, and marketing madness — all in one episode.
