Yes, Socialite Life is a celebrity and pop culture website that delivers a daily dose of divas, drag queens, hot male celebrities, models, and the latest celebrity news. Given that our democracy is currently in turmoil, we feel the need to keep everyone informed about the chaotic situation brought on by the Trump administration.

At least once a week, we will post a mix of the most alarming and mostly illegal activities the Trump regime is involved in, along with some ridiculous things that Trump and co-President Elon Musk are attempting to pull off.

We will also offer useful resources to keep you updated on current events and learn how you can help prevent the United States from becoming the next Russia.

Donald Trump Is a Vindictive Little Bitch

Trump revokes Biden’s security clearances because he’s a child.

Former presidents are historically given intelligence briefings after leaving office. But Trump said he was following precedent set by Biden four years ago, when Biden revoked Trump's access.

NPR (@npr.org) 2025-02-08T16:01:14.427Z

That said, Joe Biden doesn’t actually have security clearance. LOL!

Declining Trump Thinks He Took Away Biden Security Clearance That Doesn't Exist: Donald Trump claimed to have taken away Joe Biden's security clearance. There's just one problem. Biden doesn't have a security clearance.

Elon Musk Is One of the Most Dangerous People in the World

A mercenary paramilitary guard?

The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*#resist
