Plus: Trump's impeachment prosecutor ousted in a primary shocker, a Texas Senate candidate's resurfaced "Christian who hates Christianity" tape, and the DOJ's one-week ultimatum to California over its Glock ban — all in today's episode.
The Postmaster General sat in front of the Senate this week and said the quiet part out loud. Under a proposed new rule tied to President Trump's March election-integrity order, the U.S. Postal Service told the Homeland Security Committee it would stop delivering mail-in ballots to states that refuse to hand over their voter lists. Democrats called it coercion, every Senate Democrat signed a letter demanding it be pulled, and the courts are already circling. Chuck breaks down what the proposed rule actually says, why both sides are bracing for a fight before November, and what it means for the way America votes.
Then it's a stacked board. Rep. Dan Goldman — the lead counsel behind Trump's first impeachment — just lost his New York primary, and the President didn't hold back. Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is answering for a 2021 podcast clip in which he calls himself "a Christian who hates Christianity." The DOJ gave California until June 30 to drop its Glock ban or get sued. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid out a five-part economic doctrine built on a single Hamilton line. Trump kicked off the Great American State Fair for the nation's 250th. And back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes collapsed buildings in Caracas as a tsunami advisory hit Puerto Rico. There is a famine of truth in our land — and the signs are getting harder to ignore.
