option suggests how wacky things have become in american republican politics. i just hope that more americans don t die because republicans have become the party of the weak and the really weird. leading off our discussion tonight, masha gessen, staff writer for the new yorker and author of the book surviving autocracy, and former florida congressman david jolly, who left the republican party in 2018. good evening to both of you. masha, let me start with you because you ve talked about surviving autocracy. you ve been trying to give people tips about how this is all going to go down and how you re meant to survive it. but what many of us who haven t thought about it the way you have or timothy snyder or others have, is that it all starts with a lie, and the lie can be pretty stupid and pretty provably wrong, and yet if enough people say it enough times in enough circles, it persists, and soon millions of people are believing this. and that s where we are today. i think actually w
with about 10 minutes of treatment once every 3 months. so, ask your doctor if botox® is right for you, and if a sample is available. effects of botox® may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. don t receive botox® if there s a skin infection. tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. in a survey, 92% of current users said they wish they d talked to their doctor and started botox® sooner. plus, right now, you may pay zero dollars for botox®. ask your doctor about botox® today.

says the key data underpinning lindell s theory that china hacked the 2020 election is illegitimate. now w he can laugh off the foam pillow guy as someone so divorced from reality that he doesn t merit discussion. but the foam pillow man is swimming the same waters as the former attorney general, the former president s lawyer, and the former president himself. those people in those offices lend credibility to the foam pillow guy s craziness, and republicans, even ones who don t go along with the election lies, lend credibility to the people who are pushing the craziness. look at the reaction that republican congressman dan crenshaw, a veteran, got last night when he pushed back on the stolen election lie. don t kid yourself into believing that s why we lost. it s not. it s not. you re wrong. i ll tell you openly. you re wrong. i m not wrong. yes, you are. i have plenty of proof. i have proof in arizona, pennsylvania you did the marco pa how
july payment. 69% said they spent some of the extra money on food. 37% spent it on clothing. 27% spent it on utilities. you can see from the data just how critical this money is. too many families, many who are spending the money on the most essential thing, food. president biden s domestic policy adviser noted today that the number of families with kids that don t have enough to eat dropped by nearly a quarter. and for what it s worth, every dollar spent on groceries or school supplies is money that has a direct impact on the economic recovery, on the local economy. joining us now is chuck marr, at the policy on budget and priorities. chuck, this is a good one to talk about because it s helpful to people. it is low hanging fruit, relatively inexpensive, and the bang for the buck is enormous. it s just tremendous, ali. i think this is the first month we already have signs of how
insurrection in which many of them were physically, personally threatened, because that would lend legitimacy to the current administration. and that s you know, that s the battle we re in now. how does this battle go, david jolly, because there are more of you than i imagine that there are, right? people who grew up and had conservative principles and probably would have enjoyed debates with liberals on some basic policy issues. but you don t have that freedom anymore. americans don t have freedom americans who don t believe in conspiracies don t have freedoms to vote for republicans anymore, and republicans who are not conspiracy theorists don t have freedoms to enjoy living in their own party. yeah, that s exactly right, ali. i would say, look, i m in the vast minority. the past four years has proven that out. i once hoped that we would be able to retake the party or that somehow we would be able to coalesce a group of reasonable, center-right policy-focused voters. but the
