Annie is a mom, a pediatrician, and community leader who is totally fed up with the corruption in Washington. This fall, every state is in play as Trump and Republicans purposely ruin the economy. Make a donation here! secure.actblue.com/donate/cs…

This is a really important story. A primary cause of this distrust is our Scarcity Economy, in which the bottom 75% of our economy are left scraps to fight over, leading people to view their neighbors and peers as competitors, instead of potential collaborators for good.

Generation Z has the lowest levels of interpersonal trust of any generation we've ever polled.
And although the data is time limited, the velocity of their decline in trust already far exceeds any previous generation.

The essential argument in Crisis of the Common Good: Trump is a symptom, not the primary cause, of a spiritual unspooling that has left too many Americans feeling lonely, powerless, and exhausted.

CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD

this is a weird thing to say unless you don't care at all about regular people and only care about super rich people who find a way to benefit from inflation...
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Duss's top book recommendation: Crisis of the Common Good
"Senator Murphy has been someone who has articulated a strong theory of the case of what really ails our politics — the loss of a sense of community, the idea that these systems are out of control, and they are unaccountable, the idea that wealth is being extracted from us at every step — and what it takes to rebuild a shared sense of purpose."

It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.

Republicans said they wouldn't vote for ICE funding until Trump dropped his $1.8 BILLION slush fund. Then they caved (or didn't mean it in the first place). And now the slush fund is back on track.

We should not reauthorize FISA until there is ZERO CHANCE Bill Pulte (or anyone else with a history of or intent to abuse of power to hurt Trump's political opponents) gets anywhere near our classified services.

Inflation spiked to its highest level in 3 years last month: 4.2%.
Trump’s tariffs and the Iran War are undoubtedly hurting Americans’ pocketbooks.

Wait I thought we were “getting close” to a deal to end the war. He wasn’t telling the truth? In fact we are “getting close” to fully ending the ceasefire and restarting the war? Shocking.
BREAKING: President Trump exclusively tells @TreyYingst that the U.S. is getting close to ordering new strikes against Iranian power plants and bridges in response to “tapping the United States along” when it comes to drawn out negotiations.
The U.S. launched overnight strikes against Iranian-linked targets after a U.S. Apache helicopter was downed near the Strait of Hormuz, hitting roughly 20 sites.
Trump also revealing new details about the helicopter incident - saying an Iranian drone became lodged between the helicopter's two pilots as they maneuvered to avoid an explosion.

Good morning. This is your daily reminder that the President has lost total control of the Iran War and thus has lost interest. He now only obsesses over his ballroom and schemes to profit off the presidency while gas and grocery prices soar.

“The closest thing to a manifesto for the Democrats’ new values offensive is Senator Chris Murphy’s book published last month, “Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America.” Mr. Murphy links a left-populist critique of the economy with the imperative of responding to “America’s spiritual unraveling.”

Trump has claimed an Iran deal was right around the corner for more than two months now.
No fewer than 37 times, he's indicated a deal was imminent or that Iran was desperate for one.

This war has been humiliating for Trump and American power generally. And when Trump announces he is going to call Netanyahu and tell him not to retaliate, and within hours Netanyahu retaliates, the humiliation just compounds.

Trump long ago lost total control of this war. As full blown war tragically breaks out again, it’s hard to overhype his gross incompetence.

The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

Chris Murphy: Pulte's chief qualification, according to Donald Trump, is that he is willing to go into the intelligence files and pull out information on Trump's political opponents. That's the only reason this guy got picked... Even if he only stays on the job for a couple of weeks, that's enough time for him to go in and fish out information on a whole bunch of people that Trump is trying to destroy.
