Tucker Carlson invited conservative provocateur Nick Fuentes on his show last October. Fuentes is part of a growing number of young, conservative men sharing openly antisemitic, racist, and misogynistic ideas online. But Carlson’s critics say he went easy on Fuentes, which lent his ideas legitimacy.

Is the organized disruptive resistance we’ve seen to ICE in places like Chicago and Minneapolis the same as peaceful protests? Doesn’t matter, says IL Gov. @JBPritzker, the Trump administration’s response has been disproportionate and unlawful either way. On @today_explained @voxdotcom:

Illinois Gov. @JBPrtizker wrote a Blue State playbook playbook for pushing back against Trump and ICE. And he wants to take it national. Hear the billionaire Democrat on why he wants to abolish "Trump's ICE," why he supports a wealth tax, AIPAC, and whether his weight loss means he's running for president. Listen to full conversation @today_explained or watch on @voxdotcom @YouTube channel youtube.com/watch?v=xcaUGZzd…

Does Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s recent weight loss point to a potential 2028 presidential run? 👀 He sets the record straight in a conversation with Vox’s @AsteadWH.

Donald Trump’s election denial is ~still guiding policy. I talked to @MarshallCohen and @jdawsey1 about the scope of Trump’s efforts to gain access to voter rolls, pressure state officials, and shape the shape the 2026 midterms before they arrive. This week on @today_explained @voxdotcom
