    The Re-Fauci-ing

    Jason Kander breaks down Donald Trump’s escalating military conflicts, as surprise Iranian attacks, deadly Caribbean strikes, and growing criticism from Republicans—including Sen.

    Graham Platner

    Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the stunning new reporting that Trump’s DOJ and IRS settlement could shield Trump, his family, and his businesses from future tax audits while creating a taxpayer-funded $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund that could benefit Trump allies and Jan. 6 defendants. They analyze the bipartisan backlash to the scheme, Todd Blanche’s disastrous Senate testimony, and the mounting outrage over Trump-linked stock trading activity and the administration’s refusal to address questions surrounding the Epstein investigation. Kander and Gupta also dive into the escalating Republican civil war, including Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn, the fallout from MAGA primary battles, and why Trump’s obsession with ideological loyalty could cost Republicans in the general election. Plus, they discuss Trump’s mixed messaging on Iran, his dismissive comments about rising gas prices, and the growing public revolt against AI data centers and corporate power grabs across the country.
