MAGA’s outrage machine is back — this time because Bad Bunny is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. LV, Shannon, and Stacey unpack the faux patriotism, the DEI panic, and the latest government shutdown chaos — plus Mike Johnson’s “Moses” moment, Diddy’s sentencing, and yes… the Grindr files.

Welcome back to The A Collective—the group chat you didn’t know you needed. This week, LV, Stacey, and Shannon break down a chaotic news cycle: Diddy’s “not-a-trafficker” defense, Carisha’s wild support letter, Disney bleeding cash and backpedaling on Jimmy Kimmel, rapture truthers stripping in fields, and the nerve of bad actors invading HBCU campuses like TSU. We also drag Trump’s acetaminophen moment, Laura Loomer’s racist attack on Jasmine Crockett, and the growing media shift where comedians may not need networks at all.🎧 Listen for our signature mix of sharp commentary, cultural receipts, and humor about the week’s mess.✨ Topics in this episode:

• Diddy’s “amateur porn producer” defense and sentencing
• Carisha’s support letter and Chanel bag sugar-baby culture
• Disney & Jimmy Kimmel: when cash rules everything around me
• Rapture content and raptor fits on TikTok
• Bad actors crashing Tennessee State University & HBCU spaces
• Trump’s acetaminophen fail, escalator gate, and diaper energy
• Laura Loomer vs. Rep. Jasmine Crockett
• Why networks should fear Don Lemon, Joy Reid & MrBeast
