‘Retribution process on steroids’: Rep. Bennie Thompson on Trump’s first week
In his first week back in office, Donald Trump pardoned every single person charged with a crime in connection to the January 6th insurrection and House Speaker Mike Johnson has created a new January 6th select subcommittee to re-investigate the events of that day. “People saw it. They believe it. You can't attack the FBI and their credibility,” says Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the former chairman of the original Jan. 6 committee. “That’s not the democracy that we’ve come to love and support.”

Welcome to the new American oligarchy: Trump’s rise was decades in the making. Billionaires and mega-corporations are driving policy at the expense of democracy – an “absolute seizure,” as @hartmannreport.com puts it. #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Welcome to the new American oligarchy: Trump’s rise was decades in the making
President Donald Trump’s rise is not an anomaly – he is the product of forces set in motion 50 years ago, driven by massive deregulation and key Supreme Court decisions that dismantled a century of safeguards against corporate political spending, explains Thom Hartmann, author of ‘The Hidden History of American Oligarchy.’ Together, these forces steered America toward oligarchy. Trump recognized the cracks in our system—and moved in to exploit them. In this next chapter of America’s story, “Velshi” will track those who wield economic power to undermine everyday Americans–including the tech-industrial complex now occupying the halls of American power.
