Bulwark Takes

Sam Stein and Will Sommer return for a special Wednesday edition of MAGA Mondays, and the stories are somehow even more embarrassing than usual. A neo-Nazi leader accidentally livestreams himself performing a sex act, Mark Levin has a very public meltdown over his AOL account, and a lawsuit exposes fresh allegations of foreign money and luxury gifts flowing through Trumpworld. Plus, James Fishback is hit with a $4 million judgment, Vivek Ramaswamy disappears from Twitter, and the MAGA media circus prepares to crown its Citizen Journalist of the Year.

Sarah Longwell sits down with Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey to talk about the election, the working-class voters turning away from Trump, and why Democrats can’t afford to waste this moment. After helping rally musicians and artists to speak out against Trump, Casey says the fight is far from over. He wants Democrats to investigate Trump’s corruption, hold his administration accountable, get money out of politics, and deliver on the economic promises that brought voters back. He also has a warning for Democrats: if they fail to follow through, he’ll be just as loud calling them out as he has been fighting MAGA.

A high school math teacher just pulled off one of the most remarkable upsets of the midterms. Tim Miller talks with Minnesota Congressman-elect Jake Johnson, who ran a campaign staffed largely by his former students and flipped a district Republicans won by 17 points just two years ago. Johnson recounts the nail-biting election night, explains how his working-class upbringing shaped his politics, and lays out his plans to take on Trump’s tariffs, ICE, and Washington corruption.

Michael Weiss and Marc Polymeropoulos examine the explosive allegations that a Chinese intelligence operative used a honey trap to get close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, potentially exposing some of America’s most sensitive AI technology. Marc explains how honey traps work, how foreign intelligence services use sex and blackmail to recruit targets, and why this alleged operation could have serious national security consequences. But the biggest questions may be about the Trump administration: U.S. intelligence reportedly uncovered the relationship, Marco Rubio allegedly warned the White House, and Trump still appears unwilling to take the threat seriously.
Plus, why the scandal raises fresh questions about Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and the administration’s willingness to confront foreign espionage. And a look at some of the most notorious honey trap operations in intelligence history.

Pete Hegseth is facing impeachment, and his response is to blame the media, attack Congress, and hide behind American troops. Ben Parker and Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) dissect Hegseth’s combative Pentagon press conference, his defense of controversial military operations, and his refusal to take responsibility for civilian casualties and questionable orders. They also examine how Hegseth has turned the job of Secretary of Defense into a partisan political operation, why he has failed to grow into the role, and what an impeachment fight could mean for the Pentagon.
