Summary

There’s so much to cover. Andrew dives into Trump threatening the lives of Democratic lawmakers and veterans; Trump’s awful, piggish misogyny and the White House coverup; and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s apologies tour. But that’s not even the biggest news because a court is hearing a case that could blow a hole in American democracy bigger than Citizens United. Plus, a win at the Supreme Court and some fun facts about the First Thanksgiving.
