Usssshbuckssss

We’re on Day 2 of the now-infamous Ushbucks saga that started when a dancer at the Sapphire in Vegas put Usher on blast for throwing phony money WITH HIS FACE ON IT during a recent night out that, naturally, sparked hilarious chaos across social media.

Jokes (and memes) flew for a strong hour before a Sapphire rep revealed to TMZ that Usher did NOT tip the dancers with Ushbucks and actually tipped the dancers and staff generously.

Sources close to Usher told TMZ that his crew (not him) left some Ushbucks behind on the stage as a joke while also promoting Usher’s new Vegas residency.

Oh, and one more thing: 2 separate parties said the dancer’s version of the story is BS.

The dancer in question later backpedaled (kinda) on Instagram by blaming US for running with questions she asked about the Ushbucks that SHE posted in her IG story.

“I literally asked a question and y’all ran with it. If funny money is being thrown at an establishment where girls dance for $. It should have a trade in value period… but nvm lemme know *shush emoji* it was left behind for “promo” *laugh emoji*” she posted

Whether or not she still works at the club after pulling this stunt, we don’t know, but Sapphire owner Peter Feinstein revealed that Usher said he’ll be back “to make things right” ahead of the opening night of his Vegas residency on July 16th.

How do you think this saga ends? Tell us down below and peep MORE hilarious tweets/memes from the ‘Ushbucks’ saga on the flip.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
