Erie County: Prepare for Arctic Front

The way President Donald Trump honored late Sen. Lindsey Graham's coffin left onlookers disgusted online.

Sen. Lindsey Graham was mourned at his Washington, D.C., funeral on Tuesday after he died unexpectedly at the age of 71 earlier this month. Trump created plenty of noteworthy moments at the occasion, including by apparently falling asleep and by delivering a stunning ad-lib during the tribute.

However, he also drew online criticism by tapping Graham's casket as he passed. In a post on X, journalist and policy consultant Adam Cochran called Trump a "performative jack—" who "thinks he's testing a watermelon."

"Biggest narcissist ever," posted New York Times opinion writer Elizabeth Spiers on Bluesky. "Has Trump ever felt sad for someone else ever? If he has, it has never come up in any profile or coverage of him — going back to the mid 80s."

"Press F to pay respect," joked writer Aidan Moher.

"It's called the Narcissist's Knock, reserved for moments when a person incapable of giving a crap about another human being pretends to give a crap about another human being and fails spectacularly," posted writer Rex Huppke.

"One last pat on the head of the loyal senator who gave up his dignity for TV hits and free hats," mocked journalist Mike Rothschild.

"This is the sort of thing you do when you're the only one at the funeral who knows that the deceased is actually still alive in the coffin and you want to taunt them once more before the first shovel of dirt lands," wrote historian Charles Louis Richter.

"Biggest narcissist ever. (Not that Graham deserves an outpouring of feeling.)," Elizabeth Spiers, an opinion writer for the New York Times, posted on Bluesky. "Has Trump ever felt sad for someone else, ever? If he has, it has never come up in any profile or coverage of him — going back to the mid 80s."

A MAGA influencer has blended politics with OnlyFans, using the adult platform to court right-wing male followers in a striking new way, according to a report Thursday.

Will Sommer, senior reporter at The Bulwark, detailed how Savanna Cannon has emerged as a new MAGA personality, sharing her views on TikTok and Instagram. She's referred to people who disagree with her as "braindead" and wears a Charlie Kirk "Freedom" shirt. In her videos, she "looks and sounds like she came straight out of the Turning Point USA or PragerU conservative influencer pipelines."

"But Cannon has one big advantage over her rival conservative commentators: she sits in an unusual way," Sommer explained.

"Cannon typically records her videos leaning back in a chair while wearing yoga pants, with her legs pulled up on either side of her," Sommer wrote.

"It’s a pose that highlights everything a more prurient viewer might hope to see: her bare feet and—forgive me, I am only reporting the facts here—the faint outline of her genitals," Sommer wrote, including the addendum, "Her buttcrack, too."

Cannon started on OnlyFans, making content of herself working out at the gym. But now she has shifted to a particular goal.

"Cannon isn’t subtle about it," Sommer wrote. "Scroll through her Instagram page and a good 80 percent of the posts are her sitting in that pose, wearing yoga pants, often pulling them up to make them fit tighter. 'My videos are for straight men,' she explained."

It's a strategic move — leveraging her audience on OnlyFans by talking politics and drawing on a male audience.

"It was a smart call," Sommer wrote. "Pro-Trump social media is a rich field for finding new, smitten subscribers—or, in the language of the industry, 'simps'—who could end up following you on OnlyFans, too."

As her following has grown, she's built an audience using the "symbiotic relationship" between right-wing influencers and subscribers.

"If anything, Cannon stands out because she merges the two roles," Sommer added. "Rather than being an OnlyFans model subject to the whims of a dating podcast host or a feud with a far-right pundit, she is creating the MAGA content on her own. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before some enterprising ingénue tapped this particular market."
