It's hard to overstate the danger to a free society, democracy and truth with Kevin McCarthy handing over 41,000 hours of Jan. 6 footage to Fox's election-denying, pro-Putin propagandist Tucker Carlson. This is a betrayal of American democracy and freedom.

We can’t minimize Trump’s dinner with antisemite and holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and the refusal of leading Republicans to speak out against this. While none of this is surprising, it’s the latest sign that if Trump is not held criminally accountable and ends up as the GOP candidate, he will drive America to the bottom and seek vengeance against all enemies, real and imagined. Silence is complicity.

Tonight I finished @maddow’s new podcast Ultra. This powerful warning shot, this unearthing of the threat of American facism in the 30s& 40s is required learning for this moment. There has been a dress rehearsal for what we are facing. We’d best learn. I strongly encourage you to listen to all 8 episodes. The parallels are stunning. A reminder that we’ve fought this before. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra/id1647910854?i=1000586931428
