that is interesting, but raises questions about why the feds have not looked into that over the past few years. in some places, it seems like the garland justice department would be the last place you would want to order a pizza from, it might come two plus years later. the context is interesting, although maybe completely unrelated because yesterday, the legal world was rocked by something you don t normally see. you can see the headlights, reactions, and that special grand jury foreperson in georgia just went out in public doing tv out appears interviews , talking sometimes clearly, sometimes indirectly about indictments they recommended. we counted at least five media appearances within 24 hours, a widely unusual spectacle. appearances in a process that would usually be completely secret. we definitely heard a lot about former president trump, and we definitely discussed him a lot in the room. i will say that, when this list comes out, there are no major plot twists wait
so in terms of control of the senate, control of the direction of the country, every race really matters. every seat really matters. every candidate really matters. it is just on a knife s edge. and i mean, just on a personal level, if you didn t know whether you would volunteer for a candidate yet this year. if you would volunteer to door knock or do some get out the vote work. if you haven t committed to voting for sure yourself this year, this year your vote will really matter. this is not one to skip out on. this election will be very tight and very, very interesting. and very consequential. again, if the polling bears out. and election day looks anything like the polls say it will lookh today. we ll be talking with the man in charge of the democratic party s efforts in the senate in just a moment. obviously, a super high stakes job. a super difficult job. still though, who would you rather be? would you rather be the senate guy for the democrats right now? or would you r
today after a break for the holiday weekend, the day, federal prosecutors in washington, d.c., resumed prosecuting a case against five members of the oath keepers on charges of seditious conspiracy, or trying to overthrow the government. last week zeroed in on the group s founder, stewart rhodes. but today s former afghanistan veteran. her name is jessica watkins. introduced evidence that watkins discussed cutting off pool cues to serve as antifa smasher is. she sought to recruit and train people to join the oath keepers. if it convicted of seditious conspiracy, watkins and her fellow defendants face up to 20 years behind bars. there s been a lot of wrangling on the radar. but today s trial is important because it s another example of individual accountability. and this, case accountability for a small group that s not tweens flicked significant damage. individual accountability does not on its own get to the root of the problem, especially here let s take, for exampl
day-to-day. all right, welcome to cross connection everyone. i am tiffany cross, and you just heard a little advice from former president barack obama. as president biden is hitting the campaign trail, trying to convince voters that the democratic party can t help. because trust me, they need more money. it does not mean more problems. people can definitely use if you are going to the bank. account inflation and the economy are at the top issues that fish voters care about. but listen, abortion rights, immigration, and protecting our democracy are all on the ballot to. so if you don t think you impact politics, believe, we politics definitely impacts. you get in that game and by all means. good morning, it. tiffany thank you for having. we every time you re on the show. we have so many things to talk, about not a lot of talk. time silica get off, you have seen a lot of the republican attack ads and i think there are some bad faith efforts out there to pin the economy on t
overturning roe v. wade. many have already watched trigger bans on abortion take effect in their states. while conservative lawmakers have a cartoonish message to keep women from fleeing to blue states where abortion is still legal. and president biden must not only preside over this chaos, but use it to drive voters to the polls leading up to crucial midterm elections in november. across the national abortion fight, it is far from his only domestic challenge. as this july 4th weekend has been curtailed by the same record inflation, rising gasoline prices, that have hampered democrats agenda and dented the president s approval numbers for months now. i would be lying if i said our democracy was not in peril this independence day. and i won t patronize you with the easy prescription of vote harder, because marginalized communities will tell you, it s not that simple. so as we mark the nation s 246th birthday, what does fighting back look like? and do democrats have enough tim
