In one clip shared on X, she wears her pajamas to a Wawa convenience store as AC/DC's 1979 tune 'Highway to Hell' blasts in the background. 'If D.C. had a theme song …,' she captioned the post. 'From one Waffle House waitress to another, thank you for showing up, working hard, and keeping the coffee hot,' she captioned the post. 'We haven't forgotten where we came from. On to DC to vote for the Big, Beautiful Bill.' — RepNancyMace (@RepNancyMace) Social media users were not impressed with her vlogging as users said that it was only an 8-hour drive from Charleston to DC but she made it look like a massive trek. 'What's wrong with this woman? What's with these videos where she's on pajamas etc? Who's doing her [social media]? This is unhinged and undignified for a congresswoman,' one wrote. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Nancy Mace had her flight canceled to DC so she rented a luxury van with a driver, put on her jammies and then had a poor staffer film her all the way there for social media clout,' another wrote.

'Encouraging': Musk mocks Trump as approval rating falls to all-time low
As US President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low, Elon Musk has called it an 'encouraging' sign. He previously threatened to launch a new political party to remove all those from office who supported the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. read more US President Donald Trump talks to the media, next to Tesla CEO Elon Musk with his son X Æ A-12, at the White House in Washington, DC, US, March 11, 2025. (Photo: Reuters) Amid their ongoing feud, billionaire Elon Musk has welcomed the declining approval rating of US President Donald Trump. Trump's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 40 per cent. Musk said in a post on X that the fall was 'encouraging'. The remark comes at a time when Musk and Trump have sparred again over the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. As Musk has continued to condemn the bill over trillions of dollars that it would add to the federal deficit, Trump has threatened to deport Musk — who emerged as his principal political partner last year until their public fallout last month. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As his immigration policies have triggered mass protests and trade policies have slowed economic growth forecasts, Trump's approval among Americans fell to 40 per cent in June from 44 per cent in March, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov survey conducted on June 26-30. More Americans now disapprove than approve Trump's immigration agenda — his strongest area. From 44 per cent disapproval in March, Trump's disapproval rating on immigration rose to 46 per cent in April, 48 per cent in May, and 52 per cent in June — with just 44 per cent Americans approving it. While Musk has occasionally continued to praise Trump, he has completely turned against him on economy and trade. He said that all those supporting the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' 'should hang their head in shame'. He said he would launch a new political party to take on the Republicans if the bill would pass. 'If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a voice,' said Musk in a post on X. In response, Trump threatened to deport Musk and cut his government subsidies. When asked by a reported whether he would deport Musk, Trump replied, 'We'll have to take a look.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump further said, 'We might have to put Doge on Elon. You know what Doge is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.'
