The Daily Blast: MAGA?s Repulsive New Attacks on ?Laughing Kamala? Show Hidden Weakness
In recent days, Donald Trump and MAGA media figures have ramped up the attacks on Kamala Harris?s laugh, her personality, and her temperament. That?s vile stuff, but MAGA?s strategy also suggests an inability to entertain a remarkable possibility: What if Harris?s laugh and energy are actually well suited to this moment in American politics? Jenifer Fernandez Ancona, co-founder of the progressive strategy group Way to Win, has been advising Democrats to respond aggressively to racist and sexist attacks on Harris. We talked to Ancona about whether Harris?s temperament might prove to be kryptonite to MAGA?s negativity and hate.

The Daily Blast: Pete Buttigieg Destroys J.D. Vance?s Ugly ?Childless Cat Lady? Smear
A vile quote from J.D. Vance just surfaced in which he described Kamala Harris and other Democratic leaders as ?childless cat ladies,? and spun out a whole theory based on this absurdity. Then Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sharply dressed down Vance for poking his nose into other people?s family decisions. With this response, Buttigieg showed that Vance has invited a much larger national conversation?one that won?t help Vance and Donald Trump. We talked to Melissa Gira Grant, a staff writer at The New Republic who closely tracks Vance?s ideas, for help in illuminating what this saga tells us about the New Right?s tortured views on gender, natalism and nationalism.

The Daily Blast: J.D. Vance?s Shocker on Trump and Sexual Assault Unmasks the True MAGA
This week we learned that Donald Trump?s running mate J.D. Vance repeatedly suggested in 2016 that he believed Trump committed sexual assault. Vance has since softened his views, but this saga captures the essential Vance: He knows exactly what he has now attached himself to, but sees Trump as a vehicle to accomplish some truly radical societal transformations. We talked to tech writer Gil Duran, author of a good piece in The New Republic tracing the ?techno-authoritarian? worldview driving Vance, about what his evolution from clear-eyed Trump critic to full MAGA devotee says about today?s red-pilled right?and about our politics more broadly.

The Daily Blast: Fox News's Awful New Kamala Harris Smears Hit Nuclear Levels of Idiocy
Ever since President Biden suspended his campaign, Fox News and right wing media have been scrambling madly for an effective attack on Vice President Kamala Harris. They?ve ridiculed her laugh. They?ve mocked her as a product of DEI. They?ve attacked her as too soft on crime and too tough on crime. All of which gets at a larger story: Kamala Harris is very hard for the right to pigeonhole. We talked to Elaina Plott Calabro, a staff writer for The Atlantic who reports trenchantly on Harris? political career, about why the right?s contortions could prove a major dynamic in the presidential race, and how Harris?s own struggle to find her political identity could now loom large.

The Daily Blast: Trump's Alarming New Rant About Dictators Exposes Media's Epic Failure
At a rally in Michigan over the weekend, Donald Trump uncorked one of his longest rants ever in praise of the world?s autocrats, strongmen and dictators. He hailed Xi Jinping of China as ?brilliant? for controlling 1.4 billion people ?with an iron fist,? and described Xi, Russia?s Vladimir Putin and Hungary?s Viktor Orban as ?tough? and ?smart.? We talked to Rick Wilson, the prominent Never Trumper and Substacker, about Trump?s explicit campaign promise of authoritarian rule, the GOP?s enthusiastic embrace of it, and the media?s utter failure to alert voters to what?s coming.

There?s Representative Matt Gaetz?s bizarre speech, in which his face was so taut that one Republican derided him as an ?AI sex doll.?

The Daily Blast: Marjorie Taylor Greene?s Rage at a Reporter Hints at a Very Dark 2025
Surprise, surprise: The Republican convention is turning into a festival of media bashing. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene did something that deserves special attention: After fielding a question about J.D. Vance that displeased her, Greene erupted, repeatedly dressing down the reporter in strikingly vicious terms. Arizona senate candidate Kari Lake, meanwhile, used her convention speech to similarly smear the press. All this is a bad omen: If Donald Trump wins the election, the assault on the press is going to shift into authoritarian overdrive. We talked to Media Matters senior fellow Matt Gertz, who explains why a Trump crackdown on the press could get alarmingly far. Listen to this episode here.

Now that Ohio Senator J.D. Vance is Donald Trump?s running mate, everyone is combing through his old quotes, and a striking one has surfaced: in 2016, Vance warned that Trump threatened to take the white working class to a ?very dark place.? In short, Vance once understood that MAGA ideology, at its core, is really, really toxic. And that?s a big political vulnerability. We talked to Sarah Longwell, the pollster and prominent Never Trumper, about how the Vance pick will showcase the worst aspects of MAGA throughout this race and how Democrats can try to use that to win swing voters.

The Daily Blast: MAGA?s Shameless Bid to Exploit Trump Shooting Takes a Darker Turn
In the days after the horrific effort to assassinate Donald Trump, MAGA figures have widely sought to exploit this moment of national crisis, by arguing that Democrats invited or even encouraged the shooting. The leading proponent of this absurd claim is Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, and on Tuesday, Trump announced that Vance will be his running mate. We talked to Alex Shephard, a senior editor at The New Republic and author of a great new piece on this new MAGA agitprop, about why the Vance pick?and other assorted signs?suggest that the politics around the shooting are going to get a lot more poisonous.

The Daily Blast: Trump Assassination Horror: ?America Is Not Ready For What Comes Next?
At the time of this recording, we know little about the attempt to assassinate Donald Trump. He was hit in the ear, but thankfully doesn?t appear seriously injured. The 20-year-old gunman has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks. He was registered as a Republican but donated $15 to a progressive group in January 2021, and we know nothing of his motive. Political violence is absolutely unacceptable no matter who is targeted. So for now we will focus on the bigger picture: We talked to Zack Beauchamp, author of a new book called The Reactionary Spirit and a piece for Vox called: ?America is not ready for what comes next,? about whether this horror will lead to an escalation and what it says that American society is again at this point.

Wade and the horrors it has unleashed will remain a major problem for Trump and the GOP this fall? We talked to Jess McIntosh, a Democratic strategist and longtime defender of reproductive rights, about what?s driving this shift, why it?s a scam, and how Democrats can make sure voters know it.
