From voter suppression efforts to restrictive ID laws, attacks on the Voting Rights Act continue from the states to the courts. Democrats are working to restore and extend key provisions of the Voting Rights Act that have been neutralized, but will they be able to undo the damage already done?

Early in America’s history, the open frontier was central to the nation’s identity, but today, the border wall has become the new symbol for America. Professor of history at New York University Greg Grandin writes about this history and transformation in his book, The End of The Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America. He joins me on the show today to talk all about the border, American exceptionalism and more.
