Working with nunes. this is the mindset we re up against. brian, i want to give you the last work and ask about the letter that came out. it was about the atlantic s commitment to covering if this is what is to pass the demise of democracy. i m familiar with some of your reporting. certainly about my old boss and everything that ensued after 9/11. what is this like, like being on the front line as a journalist covering the potential demise of democracy in our own country? i m struggling with disbelief myself, which i think is actually central to the strategic problem that small d democrats have right now is that we just can t believe this is really happening. that deep down, it s hard to come to terms with the idea.
What is likely on the other side of this. it s really important to underscore just how powerful being the chairman of the house ways and means committee is. traditionally, that is the most powerful chairmanship here in the house of representatives, so it s a very big deal, and something that the members of the house work for their entire career to get to that point. oliver makes an excellent point about where the power center is if you are republican and specifically a republican in the house. it s very interesting to see nunes find the power outside of government and outside of this incredibly powerful committee that he would be likely chairing if republicans take back the house in 2022. so that was certainly a lot of what we were hearing as this news kind of made its way through the halls here. we also heard, of course, from the former president himself, you talked about how nunes had been an ardent supporter of the former president. he was his primary attack dog during the russia probe and the former president saying that nunes is a fighter and a leader,
They take control of the house of representatives and he still chose to leave to go work for the former president. what does that say, really, about the center of gravity of the republican party right now? i think it says a lot about the fact that people would rather be with former president donald trump than in congress where laws are actually written. so a significant move by nunes. the fact that his district might be changing and swinging more democratic may have been a factor here. but i think the fact that it was an opportunity to go work for the former president was another huge factor for the congressman. lauren fox with latest for us. thank you. the department of justice is now suing the state of texas claiming the state s newly drawn legislative maps discriminate against latino and black voters. the doj claims those maps approved by the state s republican-controlled legislature were drawn with discriminatory intent and that
