Hey friends! It’s been a whirlwind year in politics as we’ve all been grappling with the consequences of President Trump’s second term. It’s been particularly busy for me, expanding this newsletter, making about 20 cable news appearances so far this year, and working on multiple projects at once. But there was one thing that was a bright light for me in the chaos of this year. I got married last month! It was genuinely the best day of my life.

President Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites has thrown the Middle East into uncertainty. In this razor-sharp Substack Live, I was happy to sit down with to discuss Trump’s strikes on Iran, analyze Iran’s retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases, break down the risks for escalation, the potential for de-escalation, and the fractures in the GOP that this military intervention has exposed. Iran’s retaliatory strikes were reportedly telegraphed in advance to Qatar.

This Juneteenth, I went live with Don Lemon for one of our best conversations yet. With Trump weighing whether to get the U.S. fully involved in Israel’s war on Iran, the MAGA base is cracking open. From Tucker Carlson grilling Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to Candace Owens breaking ranks, the right is now publicly at war with itself over foreign policy. It’s isolationism vs interventionism, as the MAGA base is calling out how Trump’s actions are contradicting his long-standing “no new wars” promise.

In case you missed my Substack Live with Don Lemon this week, here it is. From Trump’s Reverse Robin Hood bill to the growing Trump-Musk beef to how the media should cover this chaotic political moment, we broke it all down: https://t.co/DF0TA5YFYq
Trump’s bill is floundering. Musk turned on him. And the cracks in the MAGA coalition are growing. I was happy to go back on the Shrinking Trump pod (@ReallyAmerican1) with my friends John Gartner and Harry Segal to talk through it all. Watch: https://t.co/e2OWm6LJRA https://t.co/zmPnfHbrZN
This Trump-Musk beef was inevitable. Musk served as a heat shield, absorbing political backlash for Trump’s gutting of the federal government. After he became toxic, Trump cast him aside. @chrislhayes and I called this out on @11thHour with @SRuhle back on a February 12 panel 👇🏾 https://t.co/oRClK64Sp9
