On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz break down the aftermath of the shocking violence surrounding the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and the growing normalization of political extremism in American discourse. They examine the media’s response, the double standard in covering political violence, and the broader cultural consequences of escalating rhetoric.

Then, they turn to California, where a controversial new wealth tax proposal is heading to the ballot—raising major questions about billionaire flight, economic fallout, and the future of progressive tax policy.

Plus: the fallout from the dismantling of United States Agency for International Development continues, as former employees struggle to find work and new questions emerge about government spending, NGO funding, and taxpayer accountability.
