This week, The Daily examined how political and social movements are reshaping American life, from the grassroots devotion driving Trump's base to the international backlash his presidency generates. The podcast also explored how institutions—from social media platforms to the criminal justice system—are grappling with the consequences of their own design, whether through addiction settlements or cases that challenge how we understand mental illness. Together, the episodes suggest a country in the midst of significant realignment, where established norms are being questioned and new power dynamics are emerging.
