Trump said last night that it would’ve been “terrible” and “horrible” if he’d tried to have Hillary Clinton prosecuted after the 2016 election. Which makes it all the more notable that Trump tried to have Hillary Clinton prosecuted after the 2016 election msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Team Trump in 2021: “Congress should leave Trump's crimes to the courts.” Team Trump in 2024: “Trump's crimes can’t be left to the courts because it's up to Congress needs to act.” They're resolving the contradiction by ignoring it. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
RNC’s ‘election integrity’ lawyer charged with election crimes msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
By brazenly abandoning his principles and putting party above country, Bill Barr set his dignity on fire last week. Trump then poured some lighter fluid on the flame, humiliating his former AG for sport. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
As Trump's legal troubles generate headlines, Biden keeps advancing an agenda that will make a difference in millions of lives. From the last few days: - new airline rules - new coal regulations - breakthrough on non-compete clauses; - overtime eligibility msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
So let me get this straight: The lawyer the RNC hired to oversee its "election integrity" efforts has just been indicted by a grand jury for election-related crimes? Follow-up question: Will the RNC care? msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Slowly but surely, the Republicans' fake elector controversy has become one of the most consequential political scandals in a generation, racking up indictment totals unseen since Watergate and Iran-Contra. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Trump continues to beg congressional Republicans to rescue him from his prosecutions. Whether he understands this or not, that won't — and can't — happen. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Marco Rubio keeps using that word, "blackmail," but I don't think it means what he thinks it means: tinyurl.com/5n899fvp
Marco Rubio keeps using that word, "blackmail," but I don't think it means what he thinks it means: tinyurl.com/5n899fvp
Republicans could've had significant border/immigration reforms, along with international security aid, but they rejected a bipartisan compromise. Months later, it's Dems who ended up with what they wanted in the first place. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
As his "complicated relationship" with the police draws scrutiny, consider The Top 10 Reasons Donald Trump Deserves To Be Seen As An Opponent Of Law Enforcement. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Trump wanted a "circus" to accompany his trial, but the mass protests he envisioned failed to materialize — again. It's worth appreciating why. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Why does Kevin McCarthy keep going on national television, even when the appearances make him look worse? It's probably because he still hopes to land a gig on Team Trump. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Why does Kevin McCarthy keep going on national television, even when the appearances make him look worse? It's probably because he still hopes to land a gig on Team Trump. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Elise Stefanik is the only House GOP leader in contention for Trump's ticket. Elise Stefanik is also the only House GOP leader who sided with the far-right against security aid for Ukraine. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Throughout 2023, House GOP leaders relied on the Democratic minority to pass every major bill that reached the White House. So far in 2024, it's happening again — which says a lot about the parties' interest in governing. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Questions as Paul Gosar joins Team Motion To Vacate: - How many more Republicans will sign on? (Almost certainly some) - Will Dems save Mike Johnson? (Probably) - What will they ask for in exchange for a rescue? (Probably not enough) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
According to a growing number of Republicans, some GOP members aren’t just echoing the Kremlin’s position, they’re also actively taking steps to help Russia prevail in a war against a U.S. ally. This ... isn’t normal. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
Even now, congressional Republicans aren’t just clinging to Jan. 6 conspiracy theories, they’re also coming up with new ones. Take the latest from Reps. Clay Higgins and Greg Murphy, for example. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
The more Biden leans into allegations that Trump disparaged fallen American troops as "suckers" and "losers," the more John Kelly's confirmation of the story matters. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
In 2022, Bill Barr described Trump as an “incorrigible” and “erratic” narcissist who put his own interests above "country and principle." In 2024, Barr is backing the GOP's Trump-led ticket. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…

@stevebenen This is a great piece ending with: “Trump appears to believe he’ll be absolved of his legal troubles if he can simply beg the right person to make the cases disappear. As his defense attorneys have probably tried to explain to him, that’s not how any of this works.”
“At the play’s climax, what saves Rome from Coriolanus’s destructive power is the tyrant’s own personality: the psychological damage that has made him what he is finally undoes him." “Tyrant,” by Stephen Greenblatt
