The GOP Convention kicks off this week — and despite the narrative that nobody's showing up, all signs point to a packed two nights with Trump, Vance, and top elected officials. We break down why it's happening, who's attending, and the two themes to watch: competence vs. chaos, and the fight over affordability.
Plus: the Senate map is shifting fast, with Texas tightening and a surprise dark-horse race emerging in New Hampshire. JD Vance's new proposal to redirect daycare funding to stay-at-home moms is raising fresh questions about entitlement expansion. Socialism 2026 returns with a new round of causes to rally around.
And we dig into TikTok's role in spreading conspiracy theories amid the Clancy trial.
