Trump, QAnon, and Ron

Happy 4th of July! Donald Trump spent Independence Day posting QAnon memes and amplifying extremist groups on his social media platform. Meanwhile, the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) set to merge with Donald Trump’s social media company just reached a settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a Justice Department investigation into the deal remains ongoing. Cold water is thrown on Ron DeSantis’ campaign as betting markets give California Governor Gavin Newsom, who isn’t even running, better odds at winning the 2024 election. How did DeSantis go from the right’s ‘normal’ alternative to Trump to an even more fringe candidate? We’ll discuss. Finally, we’ll recap the Supreme Court decisions from late last week and try to make sense of how a hypothetical case surrounding a fake gay couple led to a ruling with massive implications.
