Summary

MAGA world is starting to crack. Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down the growing backlash against Donald Trump from his own base over the escalating conflict with Iran and a brewing fight inside the right over mass deportations. But first, they discuss two disturbing attacks this week: a man driving a truck into Temple Israel outside Detroit before exchanging gunfire with security, and a shooting at Old Dominion University involving a suspect previously convicted of attempting to provide support to ISIS. Plus, a bizarre new statue on the National Mall is once again putting Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein back in the spotlight. And longtime Democratic kingmaker James Clyburn announces he’s running again at 85 — reigniting the debate over generational change inside the Democratic Party.
