This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss how the confirmation hearing for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is yet another example of Trump trying to force Congress to bend the knee, what is behind the horrific ICE killings of two men this week and what can be done about it, and the details of a new multi-state antitrust lawsuit to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger led by guest California AG Rob Bonta.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss what voters deserve to know about the health and aging of our lawmakers, including the nuances of missing legislators versus executive officers, how political pressure from voters could encourage transparency and accountability, and possible solutions like term limits. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

- The episode opens with Graham Platner suspending his campaign while still claiming innocence, framing his exit as proof that he is either lying about the allegations or too weak to keep fighting after building his image around being a political outsider and fighter. - A major focus is the Democratic Party's role in creating the mess, with Liz Warren, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Chris Murphy, and other top Democrats accused of knowingly backing a deeply damaged candidate until the scandal threatened the seat. - The show hammers the media for running protection for months, accusing The New York Times, CNN, Politico, Axios, and Jake Tapper of minimizing earlier warning signs, burying worse accusations, and only flipping once party leaders decided he had to go. - Another key theme is the anti-democratic aftermath, with the argument that 150,000 Maine primary voters are being erased while party insiders prepare to choose a replacement nominee in a backroom process instead of letting voters live with the candidate they picked. - Beyond Maine, the episode also blasts Candace Owens for pushing conspiracy theories about the Charlie Kirk murder case, condemns open-border policies after the killing of six-year-old Tally Tolar by an illegal immigrant, and mocks Chuck Todd for claiming Trump somehow ruined the country's 250th Fourth of July celebration.

In 2012, Connecticut voters chose Chris Murphy as a replacement for retiring senator Joe Lieberman. He was the youngest U.S. senator serving at the time. And in the years since, his national profile has grown. He's been a vocal advocate for gun reform and become a high-profile critic of the Trump administration. But most recently he’s been talking about a different kind of crisis. It's the subject of his new book Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. GUESTS: Chris Murphy: Junior U.S. Senator from Connecticut. His new book is Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America.

- The episode opens with Graham Platner digging in as Maine Democrats, Liz Warren, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Chris Murphy, and party operatives scramble to force him off the ballot before the deadline, despite backing him when they thought he could win. - A major focus is the media's role in the collapse, with Politico, Axios, CNN, MSNBC, Jake Tapper, and others accused of minimizing earlier scandals, then flipping into takedown mode once the party decided it needed a replacement. - The show also zeroes in on the killing of UMass Lowell goalie Toby Forsyth, blaming the Biden administration and Democratic immigration policies after an Uzbek truck driver admitted through the diversity visa system allegedly caused the fatal crash and tried destroying evidence at the scene. - Another key segment targets Cambridge officials for killing ShotSpotter, arguing that the city's anti-police, race-obsessed politics left Xavier Batista bleeding on the ground for nearly an hour after a shooting that police might have reached sooner with the technology still in place. - The episode closes by mocking media and Democratic double standards across the board, from the treatment of sexual misconduct allegations to the defense of failed public-safety policies, while also blasting Mitch McConnell loyalists for pretending the ailing senator is still functioning normally.

This week, Emily Bazelon, David Plotz, and guest host Ruth Marcus discuss this week's momentous Supreme Court rulings. The FTC/Slaughter case overturns nearly a century of precedent protecting independent agencies from presidential power while Cook makes a suspicious exception for the Fed, birthright citizenship prevails on constitutional grounds but the close vote further reveals what's broken at the Court, and the Court rules against transgender people, again, by upholding state bans on trans athletes.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, David, and guest host Ruth Marcus discuss how Trump's rally-turned-fireworks-delay, a militarized downtown, and a rebranded "Freedom 250" have turned DC's festivities into a loyalty test. They ponder whether skipping DC's fireworks means ceding the flag to Trump and if attending old-fashioned local cookouts and parades is the more patriotic move.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. Supreme Court once again protecting our Second Amendment, the left calling for a $25 per hour minimum wage, Democrats frustrated the World Cup has not been a disaster, and remembering respected pollster Glen Bolger.First, they applaud the Supreme Court for striking down a Hawaii law that required residents to get permission from stores and other public places before they were allowed to carry guns there. Despite the 6-3 decision, Jim expects Democrats to push very similar legislation again, only to have it smacked down at the Supreme Court again.Next, they groan as the left keeps pushing a much higher minimum wage as a solution to the rising cost of living, despite all evidence to the contrary. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is pushing a nationwide minimum wage of $25 per hour. Jim and Greg explain how this will only make things more expensive and result in more people losing their minimum wage jobs.Then, they're disgusted by a Politico story explaining how many Democrats were hoping the World Cup would be a logistical disaster so they could blame President Trump. So far, it's going well, and Democrats aren't very happy about it. Who thinks like this?Finally, they pay tribute to GOP pollster Glen Bolger, who passed away Thursday at the age of 63. Jim remembers Bolger as a very good pollster and an even better man.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1Visit https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Get a FREE Morning Person Hat and a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription. IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3MLQuoMoney is on the line.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss Tuesday's NY congressional primaries won by three Mamdani-backed democratic socialists and what they could mean for the Democratic Party, two new Supreme Court immigration rulings siding with the Trump administration, and the ongoing Reflecting Pool debacle as the symbol of a presidency of obsessive ego and shiny objects.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss a rare bipartisan win, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, its numerous provisions which aim to help ease the nationwide housing crisis, and how this victory rapidly shifted into a different kind of crisis when Trump abruptly announced he wouldn't sign the bill unless the SAVE Act passes. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss Tuesday's NY congressional primaries won by three Mamdani-backed democratic socialists and what they could mean for the Democratic Party, two new Supreme Court immigration rulings siding with the Trump administration, and the ongoing Reflecting Pool debacle as the symbol of a presidency of obsessive ego and shiny objects.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss a rare bipartisan win, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, its numerous provisions which aim to help ease the nationwide housing crisis, and how this victory rapidly shifted into a different kind of crisis when Trump abruptly announced he wouldn't sign the bill unless the SAVE Act passes. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

“The fight,” Senator Chris Murphy tells Harry, “shouldn't just be to get rid of Trump. The fight should be to create a different economy and a different culture.” That's the message of the senator's new book—Crisis of the Common Good—which offers a host of provocative ideas for fixing the cracks in our society through which Trump crawled his way to power. After the two look at some of the latest Trump-induced crises, like Iran and the slush fund, Harry digs into the book's many big ideas. He closes by asking the senator about the steps any American can take toward a happier life and a healthier democracy.

Hour 3 of The Marc Cox Morning Show came loaded with firepower. Fox News' Griff Jenkins fired the opening shot, exposing how World Cup fans torched the mainstream media's decades-long smear campaign against America — then sounded a chilling alarm about Squad 2.0 and the Democrat Socialists of America's explosive growth threatening to drag the entire party off a socialist cliff. Former Arizona Congressman JD Hayworth followed with a masterclass on Big Pharma's stranglehold on prescription drug prices — and why 94% of Americans are demanding Congress act now. Spokesman Andy Baker laid out the ironclad case for Amendment 4, showing exactly how radical left-wing groups have been buying their way into the Missouri Constitution — and how this August is the last chance to stop them. Then Kim on a Whim closed the hour with Senator Chris Murphy's jaw-dropping $25 minimum wage proposal — and Marc Cox delivered the kind of straight-talk smackdown that only The Marc Cox Morning Show can deliver. You don't want to miss a minute of it.

They spent millions to fool you — and The Marc Cox Morning Show spent four hours making sure they failed. From the opening bell, Marc Cox called out the Missouri Realtors Association's $4 million campaign of deception targeting conservative voters on Amendments 4 and 5, firing back with the kind of unapologetic truth-telling that Rush Limbaugh made famous and that this show carries forward every single day. Kim St. Onge brought the receipts on World Cup visitors going viral for discovering the America the mainstream media has spent decades trying to bury — friendly, safe, generous, and absolutely stunning to anyone who believed the headlines. A jaw-dropping faith survey revealed that strong Republicans are ten times more likely to have unshakeable belief in God than strong Democrats, explaining the very soul of this political divide. Hour 2 exposed Sam Page's lame duck power trip holding St. Louis law enforcement hostage, delivered a St. Louis Morning Brief packed with stories the local media won't touch, welcomed sports insider Tom Ackerman in studio to break down the Cardinals' new CEO era and the Blues' four first-round pick bonanza, and closed with the wildest In Other News of the week. Hour 3 brought Fox News' Griff Jenkins live to sound the alarm on Squad 2.0 and the Democrat Socialists of America's explosive growth, former Arizona Congressman JD Hayworth exposing Big Pharma's stranglehold on prescription drug prices, Amendment 4 champion Andy Baker laying out Missouri conservatives' last line of defense against radical ballot manipulation, and Kim on a Whim torching Senator Chris Murphy's $25 minimum wage vote-buying scheme. And in the final hour, Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream reported live from the steps of the Supreme Court with landmark decisions minutes away, Missouri State Senator Nick Schroer delivered the definitive case for Amendment 5 and the path to zero income tax, and Marc Cox closed the week with his final passionate plea for the SAVE Act, clean voter rolls, and the voter guide that every Missouri conservative needs before August 4th. This was The Marc Cox Morning Show at its absolute best — four hours of truth, fire, and common sense that the left never saw coming.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut believes there is a “spiritual rot” festering in the country – and he wants the left and right to come together to resolve it. His new book Crisis of the Common Good argues the United States worships profit over people. In it, he takes aim at corporations, billionaires and super PACs. In today's episode, he speaks with Morning Edition's Leila Fadel about addressing financial inequality in the United States and what Democrats can learn from Donald Trump about messaging.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Emily Bazelon interviews Senator Chris Murphy about his new book Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy argues that Trump is not the root cause of America's political crisis—he's a symptom. The real diagnosis: a country ravaged by loneliness, disconnection, and the collapse of community. From gun violence to Jan. 6, Murphy traces our troubles back to a spiritual unspooling, a loss of meaning and purpose. But his book offers solutions. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.Murphy makes the case that fixing America's spiritual crisis is not just morally necessary—it's the only way Democrats win. Winning by being against Trump is not enough. Democrats must offer a proactive vision of an America where people feel powerful in their economy, connected to their communities, and called to something greater than themselves. The book isn't about policy prescriptions, but rather a fundamental reimagining of what Americans want from their government and from each other.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.

John welcomes back Democratic Senator Chris Murphy to discuss his new book “Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America.” Murphy lays out his book's argument that America is in the grip of a set of interlocking cults (the Cult of Profit, Cult of Everywhere, Cult of Technology, Cult of Consumerism, Cult of Credentialism, and Cult of Corruption) that have undermined our culture and democracy—and suggests creating a Cult of the Common Good to remedy what ails us. He also weighs in on the diplomatic quagmire in Iran and Donald Trump's wildly prolific, deeply suspicious penchant for day trading.

There was a time not so long ago in America when community was something people experienced every day. Kids played on local baseball teams sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. People knew the butcher at the grocery store. Churches, civic groups, and neighborhood businesses gave people a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose. Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy believes we've lost much of that connection, and that the consequences are reshaping everything from our politics to our mental health. In this live conversation at Judson Memorial Church, Katie talks with Murphy about the ideas at the center of his new book, The Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America, and why he believes rebuilding community is essential to our country's future.
