What happens when the lawyers who once “flooded the zone” to defend civil rights and democracy start sitting on the sidelines? @democracydocket founder Marc Elias says the retreat of some of the country’s biggest law firms is changing the legal landscape and making it harder for nonprofits and smaller firms to take on cases across the country. We talked about what he believes is behind this shift, how it’s affecting the legal battles being fought right now, and what it could mean for the future

A judge just ordered the White House to let CNN, MS NOW and Politico back in after Trump banned them. Before the ruling, I talked with Jim Acosta, who knows exactly what that's like. Eight years ago, the White House pulled his press pass, and the same judge gave it back. #news #politics #trump #media

What’s your town square? Election lawyer and founder of @democracydocket Marc Elias says we all have one—a place where people listen to us and trust what we have to say. His message? Don’t shy away from conversations about politics and the stakes of an election. Use whatever town square you have to stay engaged and encourage others to vote. I sat down with Marc to talk about the legal battles shaping the 2026 midterms, voting rights, redistricting and more. Watch the full conversation on YouTube

On Tuesday, the Kennedy Center’s board voted to close the building for renovations, citing its physical condition and financial challenges. The next day, President Trump said the complex could be “ripped down” if his name isn’t on the building, arguing that his administration should receive recognition for taking on its future costs. He also said the Kennedy Center had lost “hundreds of millions” of dollars, without providing evidence for that claim. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Christopher

@_colinkaepernick7 took a knee during the national anthem ten years ago, a decision that changed the course of his NFL career. Now, Kaepernick is reflecting on it all in his new memoir, The Perilous Fight. I sat down with Kaepernick to talk about his new book, what his activism cost him, his take on the NFL today, and so much more. In this clip, we talk about how he was perceived by the league, and why he believes team owners acted the way they did towards him. Watch our full conversation on You

The Primetime Emmy Awards are tonight! Good luck to everyone nominated and especially to my friend Mariska Hargitay, who is hosting the Emmys for the first time.

25 years. It seems impossible to believe. A day that began with a cerulean sky that signaled the promise of fall. A morning that changed all of us forever. For me, it was the most important professional morning of my life. I have never felt a greater sense of responsibility and believe I never will. Broadcasting everything that was happening in real time, through the chaos, confusion and agonizing uncertainty was the most difficult assignment of my career. But I have never felt a greater sense o

The Trump administration continues to berate the media for coverage it doesn’t like. Now officials are threatening to revoke the broadcast licenses of outlets that present facts that are not in line with their version of events. This is extremely disturbing to me and anyone who believes in a free and independent press. To paraphrase Nathan R. Jessep USMC said in A Few Good Men—they can’t handle the truth. And this is not America. 📸 Photo: Getty, AP Newsroom 🎥 Video: CSPAN, CBS News, NBC News
