Corporate America’s Bet on Trump Is Looking Worse And Worse (w/ Ezra Klein) | Bulwark Daily

Donald Trump is still dangerous, but voters clearly signaled that they had had enough of the moral collapse he ushered in. The electorate yearned for candidates who spoke about their faith-based values—not just Talarico and Hamilton, but Ossoff and El-Sayed as well. The vibe shift is so real that even ICE collaborator Alex Karp wants to be friends with the Democrats again. Ezra also predicts that Dems in the new Congress will be economics-first, with a particular focus on healthcare reform. And the party will end its unstinting support for Israel. Plus: The permitting reform bill could rein in Trump's lawless public lands-grab, and AI agents are getting better at lying. Ezra Klein joins Tim Miller. Time is money. Save both with Ramp.
