Nick Offerman makes his stance on the 2024 presidential election pretty clear in a new musical parody video, which the Parks and Recreation star dropped Tuesday (Aug. 27) to declare his support for Kamala Harris while raking Donald Trump over the coals.
The clip opens with Offerman plainly endorsing the Democratic nominee’s White House bid, telling the camera, “I’m very enthusiastic to be supporting the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.”
“For obvious reasons, there are a lot of Republicans that are very Kamala-curious,” he continues, wearing a T-shirt with a bald eagle on it. “Let me offer you a song that’s from the point of view of one of these Republicans, one of these good citizens, who formerly was blinded by misinformation and has now found a way to see clear to decency.”
The Civil War actor goes on to sing his own original lyrics set to the tune of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” which reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001. “I’m proud to be a Kamala man, who’s quit the GOP/ I just can’t stick with the man convicted of 34 felonies,” he belts over unflattering clips of Trump. “It’s time to stand up and face the facts after all the scams and tricks. He’s a half-a–ed Putin wannabe, yes, Trump’s a f—ing di–.”
Sharing the video on social media, Offerman also encouraged followers to donate to the cause. “Join me in goosing the joy and positivity of the Harris-Walz campaign with any filthy lucre you can spare,” he wrote, including a link to the Democrats’ website.
Offerman is just the latest star to endorse Harris, who took over the Democratic ticket after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July. At this month’s Democratic National Convention alone, Pink, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Lil Jon all delivered performances in support of the former attorney, while Ariana Grande, Barbra Streisand, Carole King, Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Thee Stallion and dozens more have also spoken up in Harris’ favor.

Haus Labs Clear Cut Liquid Eyeliner
Clear Cut Liquid Eyeliner is designed for all eye shapes, suitable for beginners and novices, and it’s only available in one shade: Black Onyx. Inspired by the design of Japanese calligraphy brushes, the eyeliner brush was constructed with more than 300 vegan fibers in different lengths and engineered in Korea.
Gaga teased the eyeliner on Instagram early in the month. “Say hello to Clear Cut Liquid Eyeliner: Haus Labs’ unique take on a highly-usable precision eyeliner. We’re really proud of this one. We’ve spent the last two years developing an ultra-black matte pigment that’s long wearing and won’t transfer or smudge with water or sweat,” Gaga shared with her 57 million followers. “And unlike most liquid liners, it is clean and completely free of carbon black. The brush is amazing. We were inspired by Japanese calligraphy and our design includes over 300 vegan fibers of varying lengths, resulting in effortless tug-free comfort and better control around the eye than anything else you’ll find. Whether you’re into fine lines or bold designs, I think you’ll love it and I can’t wait to see you use it very soon.”
Keeping with its commitment to clean beauty, Clear Cut Liquid Eyeliner features a vegan formula fueled by the brand’s charcoal powder and herbal flower complex and free from carbon black, a known carcinogen, that has been used to pigment eye makeup.
“Our new Clear Cut Liquid Eyeliner is two years in the making, labs across three countries and more than 20 iterations to land the right formulation,” said Gloria Ryu, chief product officer for Haus Labs. “In addition to being HausTech Powered with our custom Charcoal Powder Complex, the eyeliner is also formulated with an herbal flower complex, which boosts longwear performance while protecting the skin, and panthenol, rich in Vitamin B5 and supports skin barrier function for comfort and a smooth application. I am incredibly proud of how we were able to push innovation in this competitive category.”
Clear Cut Liquid Eyeliner is available online at Sephora.com and Hauslab.com. It hits Sephora stores on Sept. 5.
In other Haus Labs news, Gaga’s popular beauty line has expanded into Kohl’s.

Finneas is treating fans to more than just new music — the “Cryin Out Loud” singer has also released his first-ever collection of guitars in collaboration with Fender. While the “Only a Lifetime” artist has been helping promote his sister Billie Eilish’s album Hit Me Hard & Soft, along with appearing on Amazon Music’s Songline, Finneas took some time to create his own instrument that was built with all the features he could want.

You can plug them into a guitar amp or gift one to the aspiring musician in your life for a pro-approved design they can experiment with their sound with.
What makes these guitars especially notable is how the producer curated the sounds that come included with the guitar.

For Finneas, the most important quality when it came to crafting the perfect guitar was having a multipurpose design.
“The most important thing to me about a guitar is versatility,” he said in a press release. “I was first introduced to the Acoustasonic guitar in 2019 when I was on tour with Billie, and I played it at every show that year. When we started conversations about my signature model, I knew this guitar was great in a live setting, and I wanted to find w ays to take it into the studio and make it a versatile, expressive studio instrument. This is the result of that.”
