Prices are rising, things are getting worse—and Trump says he doesn’t care.
Janesh and Markos break down the moment it finally clicks: the economy, the chaos, and a president more focused on memes, grudges, and himself than anything affecting real people. Plus: Truth Social spirals, voter regret, and why even his own supporters are starting to crack.
Democrats are on track to win big… and nobody feels good about it.

Janesh and Markos break down the Iran mess, why invading mountains is a terrible strategy, why Pete Hegseth’s career is basically a disaster tour, and why one extremely confused Trump voter is just now realizing things might not be going great.
Also: a bold new political strategy — abolish daylight savings and win elections.
Trump ran as the “candidate of peace.” Now we’re bombing Iran. Janesh and Markos break down the war, the MAGA meltdown, and why half the internet thinks this is all a distraction from the Epstein files.
