forces working against him and his allies. concerns are mounting that we could see more than mere spikes of violence as we near the midterm elections. a motley crop of trump acolytes are running on the ticket in states across the country. it includes, and this is by no means a comprehensive list, election deniers, covid vaccine skeptics, a celebrity doctor pedaling quack medical cures and a former football star under fire for allegedly paying for a girlfriend s abortion while advocating for a near total ban on abortion. this is one of the great tricks that i think the sexual revolution pulled on the american populous, this idea, okay, these marriages were fundamental, you know, they were maybe even violent but certainly they were unhappy. and so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that s going to make people happy in the long term. 250,000 illegals cross this boarder every month. this is an invasion. i p
defense ministry pointing to a map that acknowledges significant losses on the battlefield. this is the map that russia showed today of territory it claimed is under its control. in one day they show that russian forces have been pushed south. you can actually see it in the change in the shades. they re showing that themselves, and the russians are talking publicly about their significant losses. a war correspondent for russian state media today said that russia s special military operation is undergoing a, quote, operational crisis. and drenched in the blood of our soldiers. that s a direct quote talking about retreat, a brutal retreat and that it has been a disaster. these are graphic and brutally honest observations of the counteroffensive for the ukrainians that has been gaining steam. today, ukraine, once again, raising its flag over multiple liberated towns all in the kherson region. also posting this video of a modern russian tank abandoned. this is one of their more i

there s new reporting about the story that broke late yesterday, 40 subpoenas going all the way up to line to top people in trump s orbit. it s all about coup and insurrection. we have more on that. also something i told you about yesterday, bill gates is on the beat tonight in depth. climate change, inflation, public health, a.i., the metaverse. what he says we the west owe africa, not a conversation we have every night on the news. as well as a discussion about how mr. gates got somewhat involves in talking to joe manchin about what he says are good ideas by joe biden. so we re going to get into all of that. but we begin with republicans and the push to roll back women s rights at a time when democrats say it s wrong on policy and human rights and that they have a political answer that they think could help win the midterms. here s lindsey graham introducing a bill today. this is news right now, not a drill, that he says would ban abortion nationwide. i think we should
to being irrelevant in the state of american politics. yeah. maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but that time is coming. i agree. this is unsustainable. yeah. this republican party is unsustainable. we re going to explain that more because there s different strains of that that are really coming to light. also, when it comes to helping ukraine, a new report finds some countries are really helping while others are mostly talking. we will discuss the growing pressure on western europe to do more. with us, we have columnist and associate editor for the washington post david ignatius joining us this morning. national political reporter for axios, jonathan swan. and white house bureau chief at politico and the host of way too early, jonathan lemire is with us. and the host of msnbc s politics nation, president of the national action network, reverend al sharpton is with us on this monday morning. we re going to begin, joe, with that poll that finds a
