Michael Lewis stops by to talk his new book Blockers and explains that he wrote this book after The Fifth Risk led him to realize that the people inside government were remarkable characters doing important work, and when Trump’s second term began he saw a kind of “extinction event” in which the executive branch was being turned into a loyalist operation by driving out competent civil servants and dismantling the referees of the system. He says the book’s narrative came from following the logic of that attack—seizing power, eliminating inspectors general and other checks, then cutting contracts and firing probationary workers—while weaving together linked stories of federal employees whose work and lives revealed what had been lost. He also describes how hard it was to get these nonpartisan workers to talk, how many were traumatized but still puzzled by what had happened, and he singles out the Elon Musk/DOGE effort as disorganized, ignorant, and destructive, especially in its casual slashing of contracts and attacks on agencies like USAID and the Veterans Administration.

Jim Acosta and Molly Jong-Fast argue that Donald Trump made an extremely dangerous and unhinged comment by suggesting Iran could nuke Los Angeles and San Diego, calling it evidence of a serious crisis and criticizing the media for “sanewashing” his remarks; he says the White House and Trump allies respond with intimidation and damage control whenever Trump says something outrageous, and he connects Trump’s behavior to growing voter anger over prices, tariffs, immigration enforcement, and the Middle East war. Acosta also says Trump is hurting Republicans in key areas by alienating Latino voters in South Florida and South Texas, upsetting cattle ranchers and other base voters, and creating opportunities for Democrats in places like Ohio, Texas, and possibly even Florida, while suggesting Trump and his team are entering a frantic, desperate political phase as elections approach.
