Liz Truss âhas badly stumbled on the very selling points that took her into Downing Street,â Isobel Thompson [writes]( of the UK prime ministerâs first month in office. Trussâs reversal of her most unpopular proposalâtax cuts for the highest earnersâhas mired her economic plan in chaos. Stateside, Charlotte Klein [reports]( from New York Times journalist Maggie Habermanâs book talk for Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America. Caleb Ecarma [writes]( US officials are concerned with violent threats against local election workers, particularly in battleground states, in the lead up to the midterms. Bess Levin [points at]( the hypocrisy of GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walkerâwho has spent his entire campaign condemning abortionâreportedly paying for his girlfriendâs abortion (which he has denied) in 2009. Plus, Levin is thoroughly [unsurprised]( that Donald Trump reportedly asked his attorney in February to tell the National Archives and Records Administration that all their requested materials had been turned over.
