    Trump’s GOP Suicide Pact+ A Conversation With Jelani Cobb February 1, 2021
    Jul 9 2025
    With just one week to go before the start of Donald Trump’s second Impeachment, the GOP has once again rallied behind the former president; ending the bi-partisan furor that promised to force Trump out of American politics once and for all. The reality of the situation is that the state party hacks who control the GOP on a grassroots level have become infected by MAGA diehards who have but one litmus: how much you support the former president. They have threatened to primary and expel any congressmen who step out of line. Plus, Michael speaks with New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb on Biden’s vision for American unity and much, much more.
