Yeah, I thought this was a good exchange. As we discuss here, a lot of cultural moments had to line up perfectly to create the young male shift to Trump. And all of it is gone now. Result: Trump's midterm closing strategy of rank misogyny isn't really working out so well.

Pretty wild: Even some MAGA figures are now panicking about the early vote. And for good reason: The electorate is 11 points more Dem than at this point in 2024, and Latino vote is surging.

The fact that the msm has spent more ink on Obama's Cheesecake Factory comment than the credible reports that our president is a serial rapist blows my mind. It should blow yours too.

Host: It is fascinating that you're going to see Trump in Mississippi this evening. This is a very red state that the president won by over 20 points in 2024. But we are hearing a lot of anxiety from some Republicans. A GOP Super PAC, purchased $572,000 in ads in Mississippi since last week.

House Judiciary Democrats have released a 50-page report examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including accounts involving 11 women and a new rape allegation that the White House denies. With just 8 days until the midterms, the report is raising explosive new questions.

"We’ll be working closely with our Appropriations Committee partners to make sure that we’re doing everything we can to cut off money used for political persecution," Jamie Raskin tells me. “Everybody involved from top to bottom will be subject to legislative investigation."

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

Republicans who defended Vivek Ramaswamy's disgusting ad showed us the moral collapse of the GOP. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW:

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Apparently there's an Attorney-Client dispute in SPLC. Reminder that DOJ has violated Jim Comey's Attorney-Client privilege twice, that we know of, and I suspect, a third time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Three moments broke Trump 2.0: 1) Kimmel and other attempted censorship after Charlie Kirk. Made public see the attack on speech. 2) Minnesota anti-ICE protests, Goode and Pretti killings. Made public see the attack on rights. 3) Iran war. Made public see bad foreign policy affects them directly.

OMG Mike Lawler is copying Trump.

"Fox News hosts are professional propagandists. I think they looked at Zacharia as someone who was not capable of covering for Donald Trump when he gets in trouble, someone who wouldn’t be able to lash out at the media for daring to cover him, and they helped her off stage because of that."

If Republicans manage to fumble a Senate seat in fricking SOUTH CAROLINA, I will laugh incredibly hard.

Trump's assistant, Natalie Harp & the KC CEO swapped 11 texts the day the board voted to close it Lots of chatter about a building he wants "ripped down." Now he claims privilege?? @democracydefendersaction.org & @washlitgroup.bsky.social are in court for @repbeatty.bsky.social to get them👇 -TN

Host: Your race is uncomfortably close. In the latest poll, you're in a dead heat. How did this race that should've been a safe Republican hold become so close? Kansas Republican Roger Marshall: Well, number 1, it's the cost of gasoline

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake
