California Goes for the Establishment and the GOP’s Anti-Pride Crusade

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down the biggest takeaways from key primary races in Iowa, California, New Jersey, and beyond — including what the California governor and Los Angeles mayoral contests reveal about the direction of the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, after intense backlash from both Democrats and Republicans, Donald Trump appears to be backing away from his proposed $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” that critics called a political slush fund for allies and January 6 defendants. But another major part of the deal — the Trump family’s immunity from future IRS audits — may still survive. Jill Biden’s latest comments reignite debate over President Biden’s campaign and whether Democrats are helping or hurting themselves by continuing to relitigate the past. Plus: MAGA world appears to be escalating its anti-Pride rhetoric as Republican officials and candidates promote “Nuclear Family Month” while far-right messaging grows increasingly extreme online. And finally, a new political scandal may be brewing in Maine after fresh allegations involving longtime Senator Susan Collins surface. #trump #uspolitics #politics #aaronparnas #jessicatarlov #republicans #gop #republicanparty #democrats #democraticparty #livestream #california #newjersey #iowa #tomsteyer #xavierbecerra #stevehilton #karenbass #spencerpratt #robsand #susancollins #grahamplatner #toddblanche #IRS #trumpslushfund #antiweaponizationfund #pride #rainbowwashing To see Raging Perspective LIVE, and to get ad-free episodes of Raging Moderates and all the other Prof G shows: join ProfG+ on Substack: https://ragingmoderates.profgmedia.com/ Get The Monday Rage newsletter: https://profgmedia.com/s/monday-rage/ Follow Jessica Tarlov on Instagram, Substack, and Bluesky:   / jessicatarlov   https://substack.com/@jessietarlov https://bsky.app/profile/jessicatarlo...
