When the Supreme Court ended Roe, it handed voters, not Biden, an issue to resolve. Plus, the Jan. 6 committee broke Bannon, the day Team Crazy took over operation Big Lie, and the GOP thinks inflation alone will do the work for them. Amanda Carpenter and Will Saletan are back for Summer Mondays. The only thing Americans can agree on is how much they hate each other. David Axelrod, the mastermind behind President Obama’s 2008 campaign, joins Sarah to talk about just how deep our divide goes, and where it might take America from here.

🚨OVERTIME 🚨Happy Monday! And if you live near a 7/11, happy 7/11 day. Nothing like an ice cold treat to cool down the kids after some epic time at the playground. (I’m brand loyal to Icees, but a free Slurpee is still a free Slurpee.) What is the cat painted rock, you ask? I found it with my family in a tree at a local agricultural park over the weekend. On the back, it had a link to a Facebook group where, apparently, people paint these and leave them for others to find. It’s a neat concept! Where should we leave it, and what should we paint on a rock? Reply to this email with ideas! (A Bulwark rock would neat, but that violates the rules.) Gas prices are falling too fast? FNC flips the script so quickly you might get whiplash. Eric Schmitt likes wasting taxpayer money on showy lawsuits. Immediately after his lawsuit against China blaming it for COVID-19 was dismissed, he filed an appeal. I know he really wants to be Missouri’s next U.S. Senator, but I’m old enough to remember when conservatives at least pretended to care about fiscal conservatism and frivolous litigation. The FDA has identified a culprit in the baby formula shortage… And all it took was a look in the mirror. Unprecedented… It’s out now on Discovery+. It’s kind of befuddling that they’d all sit down and talk about it, too. Dirty water… Matt Labash on the commonalities of hot tubs and our political discourse. Meanwhile, at Gannett… One of its papers printed—and then deleted—an op-ed from the wife of a Proud Boy organizer that defended it as a group of “caring parents.” The Family Research Council is a church now. Don’t forget to tithe? It’s probably time to start thinking about changing the law. Texas heatwave… Some (but not all) bitcoin miners are doing their part, but the real question is: when is Texas going to get with the program and fix ERCOT? That’s it for me. Tech support questions?
