I want to take you back to June 1 1971 at 6 o'clock that evening the presses began to roll. For weeks leading up to that moment a team of reporters and editors from the New York Times had been holed up inside a block of hotel rooms just up the street here at the New York Hilton. They were secretly organizing.They were secretly UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS THAT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DID NOT KNOW YET THAT THEY HAD.

And back to the FCC chair's threat against broadcasters, we've reestablished our connection with FCC commissioner Ana Gomez, really good to have you. I know there's a big storm, we just saw it in the background of the Estonian defense minister's shot there in Washington. I know it's pretty ugly out there, so we're going to deal with maybe some more signal problems, hopefully we won't though.All right, so Brendan Carr is threatening broadcasters. What can he actually do functionally. Yeah, this FCC keeps pre ...

Good evening from New York. I'm Chris Hayes. Tens of thousands of people marched across the country today in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, many of them braving subzero temperatures to protest the police state that Donald Trump is attempting to build before our eyes.A police state uses its power to crush dissent, to terrorize the populace, to force them to submit to its political will. It is a perversion of the policing power. And for the past year, we have watched the federal gover ...

Code Section 241, which is the conspiracy against rights, is a requirement that two or more people sort of conspire to inhibit by way of injury threatening or intimidation someone in the free exercise or enjoyment of their constitution or statutory right.So that's one of the charges. Again, I want people to think about the video that was played during the lead in wher ...
