Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Joy Reid, a longtime political commentator, New York Times bestselling author, and host of The Joy Reid Show. We unpack the FBI raid of John Bolton’s home and office and what it signals for other Trump critics. We also analyze how Trump’s embrace of Russia is pushing the U.S. closer to authoritarianism. As GOP leadership in Texas dismantles voting rights, Joy and I discuss how the DNC can and should respond. Finally, we break down how Gavin Newsom’s sharp trolling of Trump is landing with the president and why humor and ridicule can be powerful tools against creeping dictatorship.
