the rachel maddow show starts right now. thank you very much, my friend. and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. i m jumping the gun because this has just been a heck of a day in the news. the united states supreme court for the first time ever has issued an ethics code for supreme court justices, first time, first time in our history. and honestly, we have had some terrible supreme court justices in our history. it s not like everyone before this was good, so we didn t need rules. no, we had a justice resign ahead of being probably impeached for alleged bribery. we had a supreme court justice revealed to have been in the kkk just a few weeks after he got confirmed to the court. we had a justice who was so anti-semitic he reportedly would not speak to one of his colleagues. he would not speak to justice brandeis for years because justice brandeis was jewish. that guy was such a thorough going jerk that when he died, not a single one of the other supreme court ju
his new book, tired of winning, donald trump and the end of the grand old party is not tomorrow. it serves as a roadmap of what we should expect from donald trump if he ever reenters the oval office. he s going to take us inside all of that in a moment. also later tonight, john favrow, tommy vietor, my former colleagues of their pod save america. they will talk about how president biden should campaign against a fully authoritarian opponent. that s what we re talking about. now and later, congressman adam shift joins me on the deafening silence from his republican party. in the supreme court s ethics up today, and buccaneers the night on what former trump lawyer jenna ellis is telling prosecutors in georgia, and what that all means. but first, let s go back to that historical figure, trump seems to admire so much. this weekend, trump vowed to root out what he called the radical left dogs that live like vermont within the confines of our country. that is an exact quote. for th
someone from history, and i am not talking about someone that most of you would admire. as alarming as the rhetoric is, the things that he is planning to do, should he win reelection, are even more disturbing. during his three decades in journalism, jonathan carl earned his reputation as one of the best reporters in washington. he s tough, i should know, i spent years fielding tough questions from him, and if he is sounding the alarm, which he is, we shouldn t be listening. his new book, tired of winning, donald trump and the end of the grand old party is not tomorrow. it serves as a roadmap of what we should expect from donald trump if he ever reenters the oval office. he s going to take us inside all of that in a moment. also later tonight, john favrow, tommy vietor, my former colleagues of their pod save america. they will talk about how president biden should campaign against a fully authoritarian opponent. that s what we re talking about. now and later, congressman adam
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Trump tower meeting between allegedly his son and some russians and some other folks.

for a counterprotest against the white supremacist march that was going to happen here in d.c. this was scheduled to take place in the next week here in washington, d.c. it sure is. this is the follow-up to charlottesville. the charlottesville white supremacists are having a one-year anniversary here in d.c. so all these left wing anti-racist groups are going to counterprotest them. they were going to do it whether or not someone made a facebook page. but the first one to get there was this bad page and everyone started adding content to it. when facebook realized it had a patient zero problem, they wiped it out. so this original page was called resistors and had a lot of people from local washington, d.c. activism groups on the left who engaged in this. if you went down, nbc news was able to uncover some of the pages that were pulled off in the past associated with resistors and they said things like bring helmets and goggles and whatever else. basically preparing for what w
