“I actually had no idea how bad it was, that there was an ongoing, organized conspiracy to steal the election for real.”
Sen. @brianschatz shares his fears for the future of democracy, one year after the insurrection. WATCH:
"We have a party that is playing with fire. And we've got to box that party up and bring them back into the fold."
That's not Iraq retired Maj. Gen. @PaulDEaton52 is describing: "I am 71 years old. I've never seen a situation like the one we have in the United States right now."
A second insurrection in 2024?
Three retired military generals say it’s possible… and the U.S. military must plan and prepare for it.
But is that even possible when the Pentagon is wrestling with extremism in its own ranks?
“If Donald Trump gets back in, we are living in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary," former Obama deputy national security advisor @brhodes tells me on the @MehdiHasanShow tonight, pulling together all of the similarities between the Orbán and Trumpian playbooks:
“If Donald Trump gets back in, we are living in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary,” @brhodes warns as the U.S. drifts toward autocracy. Is it any surprise, then, that Trump endorsed Orbán today?
“The idea that we would trade away democracy to defend an obscure senate rule.”
@brhodes tells @mehdirhasan there’s a lot more at stake in the senate than procedure when it comes to the filibuster and voting rights legislation.
If it feels like you emerged from a post-NYE weekend haze to face a dizzying amount of information about the January 6 investigation, @mehdirhasan is here to bring you up to speed on the growing body of evidence about Trump’s involvement in what unfolded that day.
It takes a village, and in true @mehdirhasan fashion, he thanks everyone that has made his show possible in 2021 in less than 60 seconds. Start the clock!
One of the most iconic photos of 2021 has continued to be as profound as it was since the day it was taken nearly 12 months ago: Officer Eugene Goodman facing insurrectionists head-on.
@JHensonScales explains the story behind the photo.
“Some people, like Steve Bannon, for example,” says @CFColemanJr, “Will turn this into an opportunity to become the hero.” That’s why, he adds, the House Jan. 6th Committee needs to decide if it will punish the people who’ve ignored their subpoenas.
“To me the most important case is the Potter case.”
@CynthiaAlksne explains why she finds the verdict against the former Minneapolis cop 2021’s most surprising. WATCH:
What happened when the racial justice movement of 2020 marched into the nation’s courthouses in 2021?
@KimberlyEAtkins explains how it was a “mixed bag.”
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, New York Times photo editor @JHensonScales walks us through the images that tell the story of the year 2021.
