think will hurt the political power of their party even if that position is bad for american democracy. the question is now, what are democrats going to do about it? earlier this week luke savage, staff righter publishing in the atlantic, addressed the approach, quote, if you follow recent democratic messaging you heard that american democracy is under serious attack by the republican party representing an existential threat to the country. if you follow democratic law making, you d be forgiven for thinking the threat is actually a rather piddling one. the disconnect isn t attributable to democratic embellishment but it inexcusable the latest pace the g.o.p. can t be saved, neither can paul ryan. maria, president and ceo of a show an msnbc on sunday and during the week on peacock at

to strike a deal. this was under taken to get to an actual objective and not some messaging vote. you re absolutely right. i was part of the pro-gressive caucus saying let s do it, and the peeker was saying, no, we need to do it bipart san. and the speaker, they know it s an institute. he deeply loves democracy and talking about being a young girl, and the experience that this is not about politics to her. he wanted to put a commission together and the fact that the republicans are not willing to do that is sad for them and it s sad for the country. it s sad for the country, and what the republican party continues to become. you think there will be forward movement on the committee, that is clear, right? that is 100%. there will be an investigation.
