Tarana Burke tells Marc Lamont Hill on Epstein, Trump and how widespread sexual violence is in the United States. In 2017, a reckoning over sexual violence called #MeToo swept the globe. Eight years later, has the movement done enough for survivors? And what will it take for some of the world's most powerful men accused of sexual misconduct to face consequences?

At this year's ceremonial turkey pardon, Trump praised a farmer from Wayne County, North Carolina, for raising two "record-setting" birds, but then pivoted to his own electoral margin of victory: "I won that county by 92 percent." (In fact, he won it by 16 percentage points.) At a McDonald's corporate event last month, Trump claimed that the United States controls 92 percent of the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico (the Gulf of America, as he calls it). It's really about 46 percent.

The justice department's partial release of the Epstein files on Friday signaled how the agency is using a variety of tactics to try to bury and obfuscate Donald Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein. As the department raced towards a legally mandated Friday deadline to release its files, little emerged about what it planned to release. There never really seemed to be a doubt that the department would release the files late on Friday afternoon,

Barack Obama: Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President, a community organizer, one term Senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American History.

"Sleepy Joe was, by far, the worst President in American History... taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States." "He left office issuing blanket pardons to Radical Democrat criminals and thugs, as well as members of the Biden Crime Family - But despite it all, President Trump would get Re-Elected in a Landslide, and SAVE AMERICA!"

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten detailed just how bad Donald Trump is polling right now, noting that his net approval rating has been in the red for 281 consecutive days. "He has spent more time underwater than Jacques Cousteau, for goodness sake," Enten joked. "The bottom line is this: The American people don't like what Trump's doing, and they haven't liked what Trump's doing for a long period of time."

As the pair discussed the president, Friedland asked: You have a number? Do you have [Trump's] number? Yes, do you want to call him? Nuzzi said. No, the host replied, quickly changing his mind: Could we? I don't care, she said. You should call him. What? Can you do it? Friedman played along.

Donald Trump appears to be struggling to let go of the fact that Colorado's governor will not bend to his will. The president hurled insults at "incompetent" out gay Gov. Jared Polis (D) on Monday over the fact that he refuses to pardon a woman who was convicted in the state of illegally accessing voting data to "prove" the 2020 election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden.

They had to know that even for this president, who aggressively goes after his critics, who's broken barriers time and time again, but even for this president with the low standards that he's allowed to get by on, somebody in that White House had to know this would cause conservatives, this would cause his most fierce supporters in the MAGA base, to be deeply disturbed at how much it would damage him.
