In pure preciousness news, two proud moms are giving fans their first look at their adorable baby boy.

Da Brat and Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart are profiled in PEOPLE’s new “My Extraordinary Family” feature alongside their son True Legend Harris. As previously reported Da Brat became Da Mom on July 6 after safely delivering baby True who weighed in at 7lbs, 8oz, and measured 20in long.

Now Brat’s posing with Jesseca and their child for super sweet Derek Blanks-taken photos. In them, the moms cuddle with True Legend in matching grey outfits.

Now a month into motherhood, Brat couldn’t be more grateful for the journey.

“Look, this came out of my stomach,” she said to PEOPLE, pointing to her tiny newborn, sleeping soundly in the arms of wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart at their home in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta. “I cry every day. I just look at him and boo-hoo, because I’m so grateful.”

“I’m 49, I’m high-risk, I have high blood pressure. So many women so much younger than me want kids and can’t have them, and I had a successful pregnancy,” she added tearing up. “It’s just an honor. He’s such a blessing.”

As for Jesseca who’s already a mom to three adult children, she expounded on her decision to encourage Da Brat to be the one to carry their child.

Though her wife was wary at first, Harris-Dupart says she “knew the pregnancy itself was going to be something she really appreciated.”

And appreciate it Brat did, despite the birthing process being nerve-wracking for the rapper who gave birth via scheduled cesarean section and had “no contractions.”

“I never want to do that again,” she said laughing, “but for him it was worth it.” During the delivery, the rapper admits, she “panicked a little bit” but her wife played their love playlist to help her “relax and not think.”

Congrats to Brat and Judy!

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?
