Just 18 month ago, Donald Trump was considered by much of the political establishment to be a radioactive has-been. His midterm candidates performed poorly, and the ascendancy of Ron DeSantis in the primary seemed all but certain. Oh, how things have changed! After 91 original felony counts and a sweeping campaign overhaul, the former president is once again on top. And if Trump clinches the White House again, Gabe Sherman [warns](, “his increasingly extreme and violent rhetoric is poised to become policy.” Elsewhere, Eric Lutz [comments]( on the contradictions of Joe Biden’s Israel policies after the country killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza. Plus, Bess Levin [checks in]( on the chaotic state of Truth Social, whose very own cofounders are now being sued by Trump. Thanks for reading.
