done a bunch of terrible things that never turn out to be true upon closer inspection. they re obviously telling lies, but the problem is people believe those lies. their base of voters believes the lies, and we ve seen what happens when people believe scary, awful lies come ing from republicans. a trump mob stormed the capitol to stop the democratic process because the mob believed the republican president and his enablers in congress when they said the election was stolen. and people are still dying every single day from a virus that we have a safe and effective vaccine for because of more conservative lies, and tomorrow right wing extremists have planned yet another rally in front of the capitol. this one to show support for the more than 600 insurrectionists who have been arrested for attacking the government on january the 6th. capitol police chief tom manger said this about preparations for the event. there have been some threats of violence associated with the ....
i don t believe he could ever be president again. most of my political energy will be spent working on that exact goal. gonzalez was one of the ten republicans who defied the cult and voted to impeach trump, an act of conscience that earned him death threats from the most rabid members of the party base. his retirement is now yet another example of how the big lie is destroying the republican party from within. just three years ago in 2018 gonzalez was a prized recruit for the gop, the son of a cuban american imdwrnt, a former star athlete and first-round nfl draft pick. he went onto business school and then became the first ever latino to represent the state of ohio in congress. in other words, his future was supposed to be bright. but now he s a pariah in a party that welcomes only extremists to its ranks. according to a recent prri poll a whopping 71% of republicans believe the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from trump, and 35% believe that violence is a legit ....
independence day, constitution day may seem boring. after all, the constitution is just words, but it has a great story. it was born in a crisis. its birth has been called the miracle of philadelphia and endured conflict over slavery, a civil, economic depression and even two world wars. it has been at the center of some of our fiercest national debates. we cannot tell the story of something we don t know. and too many americans, especially young people are unfamiliar with the u.s. constitution and its essential place in our history and importantly, in their own lives. on the issue of americans civic knowledge and knowing the constitution, annenberg public policy center out with their annual survey. here is some of the top line numbers. u.s. adults who can correctly name all three branches of government increased this year to 56%. that is up from just over 50% last year. more respondents this year were able to name most of the freedoms guaranteed by the first amendmen ....
survey is america s civics knowledge increases during a stress filled year. explain. guest: if you do not understand we have three branches of government, it is difficult for you to understand what is happening in the news on a day-to-day basis. one question we ask is, can you name three branches of government? this year, the number of people who could went up. we are surmising the jump was in part because all three branches were in the news this last year. the bad news is they were in the news because this was a stress test year of our system of government. you have the branches contesting with each other, you had an election, the end product of an impeachment process that did not yield a conviction. all of that we have an increase in the foundational knowledge about the constitution. the good news is more people can name the branches. i wish we had gotten there through civics education and not a difficult year. host: more people could name the freedoms guaranteed in ....
