  1. Trump's Disastrous 250th: Empty Crowds, Supreme Court Power Grab & Reclaiming July 4th from MAGA

    30 Jun

    Trump's Disastrous 250th: Empty Crowds, Supreme Court Power Grab & Reclaiming July 4th from MAGA

    On today's podcast conversation, Charlie Sykes and Matt cover a lot of ground this morning, including: — Trump’s botched 250th anniversary events: Embarrassingly low attendance at the “Great American State Fair” (TMZ empty-field footage), reflecting pond fiasco, and shrinking celebrations after Trump seized control from prior Smithsonian plans. — Supreme Court decisions: Major expansion of presidential power (unitary executive theory), mixed rulings including E. Jean Carroll, mail-in ballots, transgender athletes, and upcoming birthright citizenship case. — Immigration and conservatism’s shift: Contrast between Reagan’s pro-immigrant speeches and today’s nativist rhetoric (e.g., Megyn Kelly), plus the “horseshoe theory of me.” — Praise for John Ossoff’s effective messaging (“Epstein class”), and concerns about far-left DSA-style candidates. — Reclaiming patriotism and the flag: July 4th and the American flag belong to the people, not Trump/MAGA — celebrate locally with community cookouts, fireworks, and events in small town America, not D.C. spectacles. — And MUCH more!

    Tulsi Gabbard’s Cult Memos, Trump’s National Security Meltdown, and JD Vance’s Nixon Revisionism

    New bombshell reporting reveals former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was receiving detailed policy directives from her spiritual guru Chris Butler and the Science of Identity Foundation while serving in Congress — and she followed them closely. In this episode, Bill Scher and Matt break down the disturbing implications now that she served as DNI, Trump’s chaotic handling of Section 702 reauthorization, his bizarre blockage of a bipartisan housing bill, and JD Vance’s audacious revisionist history on Watergate and the “deep state.” We also discuss the surge of democratic socialist wins in New York, Zohran Mamdani’s strategic (and risky) moves, what it all means for the midterms, and much more.

    Trump’s Reflecting Pool Disaster is a PERFECT Metaphor for His Presidency – Dana Milbank

    Trump is treating a murky reflecting pool like a national emergency — and Dana Milbank says it’s the perfect symbol for his entire presidency. In this wide-ranging conversation, NOTUS columnist and Washington Post veteran Dana Milbank joins Matt to discuss: — The hilarious (and telling) Reflecting Pool "vandalism" saga, Trump’s builder ego, no-bid contracts, and blame-shifting — Why this tiny scandal hurts Trump more than foreign policy failures — JD Vance’s credibility problems on the Iran deal and "agreement to have an agreement" — Marco Rubio’s surprising surge as a potential future leader — Tucker Carlson turning on the GOP over the Iran war — Rising antisemitism on both left and right, AIPAC, Netanyahu, and the future of Israel support — Plus: Dana’s thoughts on joining the new news outlet Notice (soon to be renamed) and Matt’s upcoming role there.

    Nancy Mace Gets HUMILIATED, Platner Crushes It, & Colorado’s Crazy Candidate

    On today's podcast, Chris Cillizza and Matt discuss: — Oysterman Graham Platner wins Maine’s Senate primary with 73% — why this is a neutral-to-good night for him, but still a huge risk for Democrats vs. incumbent Sen. Susan Collins — Rep. Nancy Mace finishes near last in South Carolina governor primary after pushing Epstein files — Trump revenge and whether she now joins the YOLO caucus. — Sen. Lindsey Graham beats back another MAGA challenger — is he a better politician than we thought, or is SC less Trumpy than it seems? — The absolutely WILD Colorado GOP governor primary: Leading candidate claims he killed a man at age 7 and (as a civilian) called in airstrikes on ISIS — Is it fair to blame Trump for the Knicks’ loss? (Hint: Chris and Matt are divided over this one.) — And MUCH more!

    Dems Are About to Nominate a Scandal-Plagued Candidate in Maine — And It Might Not Matter

    On today's "DMZ" podcast conversation, Washington Monthly’s Bill Scher and Matt break down the chaotic Maine Democratic Senate primary one week before voters decide. Graham Platner has weathered wave after wave of scandals — old Reddit posts mocking a wounded soldier, sexting on a sketchy app, defensive ambush interviews, and more — yet polls have held. With ranked-choice voting and Gov. Janet Mills still on the ballot, Democrats have a real off-ramp — but will they take it? We debate the big questions: — Do voters actually care about character anymore? — Is “authenticity” worth the risk in a must-win Senate race? — Should Democrats lower standards to match the other side, or hold the line? — Broader implications for the party in the Trump era. — Plus: quick hits on California, Iowa, and Trump’s foreign policy frustrations.
