President Trumpâs big budget bill is in some trouble after the Senate parlimentarian ruled that big chunks of it canât pass via a simple majority. That enraged MAGA: Marjorie Taylor Greene unleashed a furious rant demanding that Senate Majority Leader John Thune fire the parliamentarian. Other top MAGA figures, like Senator Tommy Tuberville and Representative Greg Steube, angrily demanded the same. Though Thune says he wonât take this plunge, MAGAâs anger could escalate, and the demand threatens to further undermine liberal democracy. All this comes as Trumpâs general approval is sliding in many new polls, disapproval of Trump is spiking on many major issues, and the budget measure is absolutely tanking. We talked to journalist Sarah Posner, author of good books on the religious right and its impact on MAGA. She explains what Trumpâs sliding numbers mean to MAGA, why MAGAâs anger at the parliamentarian really matters, whatâs next for the budget bill, and how MAGA fury is partly rooted in Christian Nationalism.

Donald Trumpâs actions regarding Iran are raising important questions for America: how reliable is our intelligence? How is disinformation warping public reality?

President Donald Trump and his top advisers have worked themselves up into a fury about the leaked intelligence assessment casting doubt on the success of Trumpâs bombing of Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unleashed a wild, angry rant about it during a presser with Trump, viciously attacking intelligence officials for leaking the assessment. What Hegseth ended up revealing, however, is that we almost certainly cannot count on this administration to officially tell the truth about the Iran mission, because as Hegseth demonstrated, everything must always must serve the cult of Trump above all else. We talked to veteran national security lawyer Bradley Moss, who explains why this assessment is so important, what likely went into it, how the Hegseth-Trump-MAGA propaganda campaign is taking us to a very dangerous place as a country, and what to expect next.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez got into a major online battle over Trumpâs bombing of Iran. AOC said Trump had committed impeachable offenses. Trump responded with a wild, lengthy, unhinged rant that dared Democrats to impeach him. And AOC responded by reiterating that the bombing is illegal. What struck us about this is that Trump let himself get spectacularly triggered precisely when his propagandists are blaring forth the message that his Iran saga shows him to be a statesman of world historical stature. Democrats should do more to bait Trump to trample on his own message at key strategic moments. We talked to Salonâs Amanda Marcotte, who regularly decodes the pathologies of Trump and MAGA. She explains the deeper roots of Trumpâs fury at AOC, why his narcissism is already undermining his own message on Iran, how all this gives Democrats an opening, and what constrains them from taking advantage of it.

On Monday, President Donald Trump exploded in fury at reporters and news outlets for asking hard questions about whether the strikes really destroyed Iranâs nuclear program completely, as he has proclaimed. And the questions are indeed mounting: There was clearly a lack of intelligence indicating that Iranâs nuclear program posed an imminent threat. And reports have highlighted serious uncertainty about the whereabouts of Iranâs enriched uranium. Trump thought he could bluff his way through this saga and count on Republicans to prevent any hard questions from being asked, but his rage at independent truth-seeking on the matter shows he knows he has a problem here. We talked to Democratic Congressman Sean Casten, who has forcefully argued that Trump committed impeachable offenses by bombing without congressional authorization. Casten goes deep on why Trumpâs unilateral action is so indefensible, why Trump is vulnerable to what the intelligence really shows, and why Congress has an urgent responsibility to step up.

Emboldened by a partial court victory over his use of troops amid immigration protests in Los Angeles, President Trump is now threatening to expand deployment to other cities. This is unnerving, given that his manufacturing of fake rationales for âemergencyâ decisions like these is getting worse. Yet it comes as striking new polling shows that Trumpâs use of troops in California is deeply underwater with voters. Importantly, heâs faring even worse on this with independents. In short, Trump recognizes zero constraints at this point, either from the law or, critically, from public opinion. We talked to Brian Beutler, author of the excellent Off Message Substack. He explains why Trump is losing the voters on two issues that pundits foolishly predicted heâd win onâthe domestic deployment of troops and immigrationâand how Democrats should respond by fighting a better information war than they currently seem capable of waging. Learn more about your ad choices.

The recent attacks in Minnesota are part of clear and troubling rise in political violence in the U.S. At the same time, President Trump and MAGA continue to normalize violence in political discourse.

President Trump is furious over a new poll from Fox News, and understandably so. It finds his approval upside down, with 54 percent disapproving. His standing is deeply underwater on many major issues, and remarkably, that includes immigration. So he erupted on Truth Social, fuming that Foxâs pollster is âcrookedâ and has been âdiscredited,â and even (gasp!) that âMAGA hates Fox News.â But the surest sign of Trumpâs fury is that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt rushed to soothe the Audience of One with a ridiculous, gushing tirade designed to create the grotesquely false impression that he has the support of a very large majority of Americans. We talked to former U.S. attorney and podcaster Harry Litman, who has a good piece for The New Republic about Trumpâs mounting losses and failures. He digs into the absurd disconnect between suggesting that Trumpâs support reaches deep into all corners of American life, as Leavitt did, and waging an all-out war on Blue Americaâand how that war is only wounding him further. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced striking questioning from Democratic Senator Elyssa Slotkin on Wednesday. She grilled him on whether he had given an order allowing members of the military to shoot unarmed protesters if necessary. She also pressed him on whether the military has the authority to arrest protesters. Hegseth stonewalled. What his obfuscation ended up revealing, though, is this: He knows that in response to Democratic questioning, he cannot be seen reassuring the broader public about the militaryâs intentions toward civilians and especially toward Blue America. Trump would perceive this as weakness and as capitulation. Which itself reveals something deeply unnerving about the Trump-MAGA threat. We talked to Guardian columnist Moira Donegan, author of a great new piece about Trumpâs military parade. about Trumpâs military parade. She digs into the darker implications of Hegsethâs testimony and explains why the sheer spectacle of authoritarianism is so central to the Trump-MAGA project. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

President Trump appears dead set on joining Israelâs war with Iran. After a period of negotiations, Trump has now tweeted that he wants Iranâs âUNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!â The New York Times has a deep dive into his deliberations, and the findings are shocking. Trump is ready for war even though our own intelligence assessments donât support the case for it. And incredibly, the Times reports, Trump was influenced on all this by what he saw on Fox News, which broadcast relentless imagery of Israelâs âgeniusâ bombing of Iran. This led Trump to want âsome credit for himselfâ for the attack, after which he âbegan hinting that he had played a bigger behind-the-scenes role in the war than people realized.â He then leaned more towards escalation. We talked to veteran national security hand Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, who has a great piece for Foreign Policy magazine on the situation. He explains why the case for war is so weak, how Trump is getting manipulated into it so easily, and what to expect as all this unfolds. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

After the horrific assassination of a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, President Trump at first correctly stressed that such violence is absolutely intolerable. But then he uncorked a long, vile, unhinged tirade on Truth Social, threatening to unleash ICE raids more directly on Democratic cities while denouncing them as radical, dangerous and âsick.â Coming after the assassination, this was almost akin to a call for more targeting of Democrats and liberals. Itâs no accident this came right after we saw enormous outpourings of peaceful âNo Kingsâ protests across the country. The contrast between these and Trumpâs North Korean-style military parade (not to mention the assassination) amounted to a fiasco for Trump. As Kim Scheppele, a scholar of authoritarianism, noted in a good piece for The Contrarian, a big story about this weekendâs events was the spectacle of peaceful dissent meeting menace from Trump-aligned forces. We talked to Scheppele about how political violence is overwhelmingly aligned in this country with the MAGA right, and why weâre now sliding into what she calls the âdanger zone.â Looking for More from the DSR Network?

In a little-noticed rant, President Donald Trump furiously vowed on Truth Social that he will now carry out something called âremigration.â This idea is widely prevalent among global white nationalists who see it as key to their vile goal of building white ethnostates, so his open endorsement of it is significant. That comes as a U.S. Democratic Senator has been violently tackled and handcuffed, as Trump dispatches troops into Los Angeles, and as his Homeland Security secretary suggests those troops will âliberateâ L.A. from its elected Democratic leadership. We talked to Will Sommer, senior reporter at The Bulwark and author of a great piece on the fresh levels of bloodlust all this is inspiring in MAGA media. We discuss the centrality of sadism and violent lawlessness to the MAGA movementâand why this is pushing us toward a watershed moment. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Stephen Miller had a shouting match Thursday with a GOP Senator over Millerâs demand for massive funds for deportations, which Republicans are debating right now. Yet at around the same time, President Donald Trump openly admitted that his deportations are badly hurting farmers by removing their workersâand described those undocumented workers as âimpossible to replace.â Miller is demanding supercharged deportation numbers on the grounds that migrants are criminals and/or displace U.S. workers, but Trump admitted Millerâs deportation agenda is targeting good, hard-working people who arenât taking jobs from Americans and that their removal hurts the economy. Thisâalong with the shocking manhandling of Democratic Senator Alex Padilla by Homeland Security goons and the backlash to Trumpâs dispatching of troops to Los Angelesâsuggests the MAGA coalition is coming under serious strains on immigration. We talked about all this with Tori Gavito, the president of Way To Win, who also discusses the groupâs new polling showing Democrats have an opening to go on offense on the issue.

News organizations have been credulously amplifying the White Houseâs spin that sending troops into Los Angeles is great politics for President Trump. But the evidence isnât cooperating. On Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lost her temper amid tough questioning about Trumpâs threat to unleash âforceâ on protesters. She snapped that one reporter had asked a âstupid question,â and seethed angrily at a second reporterâs legitimate query, showing how weak the White Houseâs arguments on this have truly become. And a new Quinnipiac poll finds Trumpâs approval tanking, crucially including on immigration. We talked to Jennifer Rubin, editor-in-chief of The Contrarian, who has a new piece arguing that California is a test run for Trump. She explains why the media needs to do better at conveying just how unpopular Trumpâs authoritarian tactics truly areâand why failing to do so could embolden him. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump issued a direct promise to use âheavy forceâ on protesters who dare show up to his military parade this weekend. He made no distinction between peaceful and violent protesters, an extraordinary threat of violence that he didnât bother disguising. Trump has also repeatedly erupted in anger at California Governor Gavin Newsom, ripping him with vile slurs and telling dimwitted lies about his administrationâs decision to deploy federal troops in the Golden State. All this comes as a new YouGov poll finds that only small minorities approve of his deployment of the National Guard and the Marines to Los Angeles, a striking rebuke given that Trump is staking so much on this battle. We talked to data analyst G. Elliott Morris, author of the Strength in Numbers Substack, who explains why threats of authoritarian violence are not necessarily good politics for Trumpâand why the media keeps credulously pretending otherwise. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump ordered up the National Guard to deal with violence that broke out in Los Angeles amid protests of Trumpâs immigration policies. This has angered California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is suing to stop it. But then Trump expressly told reporters that he might send the Marines into California. He also openly endorsed the idea that federal law enforcement should arrest Newsom based on zero legal basis. Taken together, those moves show Trumpâs perpetual threat to unleash troops on Americans getting much darker and more unnerving. We talked to former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade, author of the book Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America. She explains why Trumpâs moves are increasingly lawless, how this is all posing a severe test to our system, and ponders whether weâre passing that testâor failing it.

Fox News hosts have gotten very aggressive in pinning down Trump officials over the failures of Trumpâs trade agenda. Stuart Varney sharply questioned a top official over the loss of manufacturing jobs in the latest jobs report, and Maria Bartiromo usefully prodded a second official over the failure to produce trade deals. Taken together, these constitute a surprise admission that the latest machinations involving Trumpâs tariffs reveal that they arenât coming close to having their advertised effects. Meanwhile, an extraordinary Washington Post report reveals that administration officials are scrambling to reverse large numbers of firings under Elon Muskâs Department of Government Efficiency, another serious admission of what a fiasco DOGE remains.

As youâve surely heard, the feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has erupted, with the two men trading attacks on each other for hours. As of this recording, the last big things to happen are that Trump threatened to cut off all government contracts to Muskâs companies, and Musk then dropped what he called a âbig bombââthat Trump is in the "Epstein files." Former GOP strategist and Never Trumper Rick Wilson grasps the inner pathologies of MAGA like no one else, so we talked to Wilson about the latest Trump-Musk madness. He offers a counterintuitive take on why Muskâs attacks on Trump will trigger MAGAâs paranoid obsessions in an unexpectedly explosive way, why he thinks Musk has more weapons in this battle than Trump does, and why the White House has almost certainly entered into a âfull panicâ about where this is all going.
