ALL the Stories Are Bad for Trump! (w/ Jonathan Chait) The Bulwark Podcast

Feb 26, 2026 The Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller
No matter how often Trump tries to change the subject, he keeps getting caught in his own attempted diversions. He blames Somali immigrants for importing bribery, corruption, and lawlessness while he sits behind the resolute desk taking a million dollar bribe to bitch about a new bridge. Or he showcases the US men's hockey team while his lying FBI director gets caught red-handed pretending he just happened to be in Italy when the team was playing. And the more Trump tries to run away from the Epstein case, the more blatant the administration's cover-up becomes. Plus, distancing from the craziest parts of the DSA is part of the anti-authoritarian project, Mamdani and AOC have avoided some of their fan base's worst impulses, Newsom put his name on a number of policies that will dog his ambitions, and the Dems need to reclaim improving public schools as one of their key issues.

The Atlantic’s Jon Chait joins Tim Miller.

Short clip posted on Bluesky...

"The Democrats didn't start talking about Epstein; the Republicans did. But what's amazing is that because Donald Trump is so singularly devoid of virtue...he's also implicated in this."

@jonathanbchait.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social discuss the evolving politics around the Epstein files.
