This triggered the 1921 Tulsa race massacre.A white racist mob attacked the Greenwood district, which was a thriving black community. The violence and bloodshed lasted for two days and 300 black Americans were killed. Homes were burned and looted.Thousands were displ ...

There's a line by the great South African jurist Albi Saxs, a man who lost an arm and nearly lost his life fighting apartheid that's been echoing in my mind ever since I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with him last week. Sax told me that after a lifetime spent building and defending democracy, he's become deeply optimistic, which surprised me, as you can imagine.

We know you have to get twothirds in the House to pass this discharge petition.That's a high bar, especially with how polarized uh the parties are right now. Do you have confidence you're going to get there. I think the discharge petition will probably pass nearly unanimously in the House after Donald Trump gave House Republicans permission to vote for it.Had ...

spinning the facts and trying to confuse the people that I wanted to come in this morning and just clearly explain for the people back home how we got here and why this vote is happening right now. First, a quick review of the relevant history here. For four long years under the previous administration or the Biden Harris administration, Democrats insisted there was no border crisis.Remember they told you that that wasn't a problem at all. They they dismissed inflation as transitory. That's what they told u ...

I want a primary without his support against eight men." and was very angry, Jonathan, that she had been called a trader by Donald Trump and said, quote, "Let me tell you what a traitor is ...

And we're joined now by a member of the House Oversight Committee, Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stanbury of New Mexico. Congresswoman, thanks for taking the time. You've said that this reversal shows President Trump is losing control of this narrative.Do you see this friction between Trump and House Republicans lasting beyond tomorrow's vote. >> I don't know. I think time will tell.I completely agree with what Ally just said. This is clearly a jiu-jitsu move by the president in his continued cover up of ...

I want to bring in MSNBC congressional reporter Kevin Fry. Brendan Buck served as press secretary to former Republican House Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan. Uh Kevin, how much are these emails, these Epstein emails in the conversation right now on Capitol Hill.>> I mean, they're landing about as you might expect.
