Putin’s failure as a leader drives his resentment of Ukraine democracy
–
As a dictator, Vladimir Putin is not obliged to care about his own people’s unhappiness. What are they going to do, vote him out?
And yet…
There is still, even now, unbelievably, a lot of lazy punditry, a lot of lazy assuming out there in the press that our two major parties in this country are basically the same, that they are mirror images of each other. The actual news from the actual world is here to disprove that most days.
One of these things is not at all like the other.
Maddow: “It is a hallmark of this time in Republican politics that anybody who has stood up in some capacity, that has put them at odds with Donald Trump, anyone, soon finds themselves targeted and threatened by the Trump movement.” … “Part of rejecting violence and intimidation as part of our political system is protecting the individual people who are being subject to it. And that is not happening yet in our country, which is a problem.”

What’s the big difference between Pam Moses and all those other guys who actually cast illegal ballots? These guys got probation, in one case 3 days in jail. She got 6 years in prison for trying to register to vote after the probation department said it was ok.

In his book, Dr. Fauci describes the difficulty of building a government response to Cover with a president who literally did not understand what was going on in some very fundamental ways.
Why do the Saudis think it’s worth it to ill-advisedly give Jared Kushner $2 billion to play with?
And why is Jared worth a billion dollars more to them than Trump Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin?
(Edited from the April 11, 2022 episode of the Rachel Maddow Show.)
It feels awkward to post video of a story that is still open-ended. Even as this clip publishes we’re working on updates to the story for tonight’s show.
But since we covered developments literally every day last week it’s worth noting where we are so far.
So this clip is an edited mix of coverage from the January 12 and January 13, 2022 episodes of the Rachel Maddow Show.
Vladimir Putin has made this case that at least one reason for his war on Ukraine is that he couldn’t stand the feeling of having any NATO countries right up against Russia’s borders.
Well, congratulations Mr. Putin. Guess what you got for invading Ukraine.

Republicans worry unruly passenger no-fly list casts anti-maskers as terrorists
–
There’s not a lot of narrative to this story, but the reaction from viewers has been so strong we’re sharing it here.
Beyond the main issue of what to do about the surge in violent passengers on planes, it’s also interesting to consider president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, Sara Nelson’s argument that despite official FAA statistics showing that most violent passenger incidents in the past year have been about masks, it’s not *really* about masks.
[Edited from the February 16, 2022 episode of the Rachel Maddow Show.]
It’s been a while since we had a real “where the heck is she going with this” A block!
Also, “history cops”!!

OH!! So THAT’S what that was about…

It is amazing how Republicans don’t seem to care about any other qualification as long as a person is willing to push the stolen election Big Lie.
