Trump Heals Grieving Nation

Finally, a president willing to blame a devastating air crash on
diversity hiring and two of his predecessors! Nearly two weeks
into his second term, Trump continues to sow bitterness, fear,
and chaos everywhere he turns: issuing a spending freeze so
drastic and haphazard that his team has to rescind it after three
days, demanding that more than two million federal workers resign
or face loyalty tests, and vowing to send 30,000 immigrants to
Guantanamo Bay. Meanwhile, three of his most extreme cabinet
picks face tough questions in their confirmation hearings—but
will it matter? Jon and Dan reflect on a dismal week, what's
next, and signs of life in the opposition party. Then, Jon checks
in with Senator Chris Murphy about the threats that Democratic
leaders are getting, and why it's so important to fight back
anyway.
