Yesterday, it was
revealed that Trump’s Justice Department is no longer opposing Texas’s
discriminatory Voter-ID Law, reversing the Obama administration’s position in a
crucial voting-rights case. Joining me
today to talk all about this latest development in this case and why the DOJ’s
brief is a disturbing preview of what’s to come is Ari Berman, senior contributing writer for The Nation magazine and a Fellow at The Nation Institute.
On Monday, while
meeting with the nation’s governors, President Trump admitted that he had not
bothered to learn about the complexities of health care policy-making before
promising millions of Americans that he repeal and replace the Affordable Care
Act with something much better, saying “I have to tell you, it’s an
unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew that health care could be so
complicated.” However according to Jonathan
Cohn of The Huffington Post, the
idea that “nobody” knew health care is complicated is, of course, nonsense ― as
literally anyone who’s ever visited a doctor or used health insurance could
tell you. Jonathan joins me today to talk all about the Presidents realization
and why it encapsulates the dilemma facing Republicans as they haltingly try to
keep their campaign promises.
