first place. someone who says white supremacy is a hoax. a brand-new answer to that question. waging war on white supremacists, can someone tell us what a white supremacist is? tonight new reporting on the text messages at the center of the move to fire tucker. the idea that this could become public was very frightening for the company. then, another twist in the trump trial. where are you here instead of new york where you have a civil case? why trump s attorneys say they will present no defense. plus, how should america news media appropriately cover a twice impeached criminally indicted front runner who s credibly accused of rape? and former attorney general on the anti-democratic outbreak in state houses from ohio to north carolina beyond. when all in starts, right now. good evening from new york. and chris hayes. as we dive into the third consecutive presidential election cycle with donald trump as a candidate, i think it s been an undeniable change in our
really offended by the evident bad faith and contextual nature of this. you ve got a state legislature that says cities that are 2.7 million counties that are 2.7 million are greater may be subject to this new rule. now, it turns out the second largest county in the state s 2.6 million. okay? so, what this is is obviously, we re going after democratic harris county, and we re gonna give our republican dude the ability to wave a magic wand and invalidate an election. under this preposterous pretextual but child. and i think we see this and more and more places cropping up. and it just seems to me wildly offensive as a matter of democratic equality. it s obviously offensive. it s blatant. the republicans have made peace with the notion that in terms of popular support, they re gonna be a minority party that will exercise majority power.

Nobody calls up a university and says, “Here’s $20 million, now go do good stuff with it”.
For this University of Toronto (UT) law professor as well as for Vincent Wong, a Toronto lawyer and former lecturer at the university’s law school, Exhibit A for undue donor influence is not the expected perk of naming of a building – as it is in so many American colleges and universities which have accepted gifts with strings attached from foundations such as Charles Koch Foundation.
