Then we dive into the headline-grabbing feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk—two of the loudest voices in American life colliding in real time. We also crack open Moving Forward, the latest book from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, where she shares her journey inside the Biden administration and what it means to be part of a political party in today’s America.
