A year has passed since George Floyd's death, a year of social upheaval and reflection. The Lincoln Project's collaboration with NBA coach Doc Rivers continues to make a powerful statement.

Rick talks about how the Lincoln Project connected with NBA coach Doc Rivers after he delivered a compelling statement that captured the pain and hurt of many Americans last summer.

George Floyd was a turning point for law enforcement in this country and there has been movement in police reform at both federal and state levels. As Tara states, "No one hates a bad cop more than a good cop."

Donald Trump found out there is a grand jury convening in Manhattan. That's a big deal. Lower-level witnesses, records and evidence potentially detailing real estate and investment fraud - it's all on the table in the New York prosecutor's case, and it could get very "sub-optimal" for Donald Trump soon.

Since stripped of her committee assignments, Marjorie Taylor Greene gets paid nearly $200,000 of taxpayer-funded salary basically to do nothing but troll and tweet. In other words, the basic definition of today’s Republican Congressperson, and the heart and soul of the party.

Senate Republicans signal plans to oppose a bipartisan commission to investigate the roots of the January 6 insurrection at The Capitol, including subpoena power over emails and phone records of Congress members. Also, corporate donors who publicly broke ranks with some Republican Congressional members after Jan. 6 are finding workarounds to continue donations.

Author Matthew Dowd compares the state of the Republican Party to black mold. If you’re not aware that you have a black mold problem in your house, it keeps growing until a point where you have to deal with it. Dowd says Democrats fall into three camps with their perceptions of the current Republican party, and that the party might only start to see change when more principled conservatives actually exit the party.

America has always had fringe populist groups and parties, but never has one of the legacy parties been so occupied by an increasingly narrow ideology. Author Matthew Dowd is hopeful that generational change will eventually render the Republican Party irrelevant, but worrisome signs are ahead.

Ron DeSantis’s presidential aspirations, and the aspirations of just about every other Republican hopeful, depend on Trump being as far from the action as possible. Will Trump’s base accept defeat now that the former president has dipped into the ex-Presidential pension fund? Plus, Virgin Galactic inspires hope beyond politics.

In new Lincoln Project ad, the picture becomes a bit more clear about why Republicans are resisting a bipartisan commission to investigate the roots of the January 6 insurrection.
