Trump is running the government like a Ponzi scheme—treating Americans like suckers while he lines the pockets of the wealthy and his cronies. He thinks people will forget, but they won’t. They’re feeling the pain every day. Thanks for having me last night, Chris Hayes.

Gov. Kemp’s refusal to accept federal funds for summer school lunches is a disgrace. Families and children are struggling, and Kemp, like JD Vance, shows no empathy for how women and families navigate life in America. We need leaders who prioritize our kids, not politics.

Democracy doesn’t crumble all at once. It slips away when an ambulance costs $3,000, your kid can’t get a school lunch, and billionaires get tax breaks for private jets. If democracy doesn’t deliver, people stop fighting for it. Thanks for having me, theweekendprime!

Trump’s goal last night was distraction—because he knows he has failed to deliver for the American people. While I’ve been working to lower costs for families, he and his flunkies are trying to rip that help away. They’d rather punish those of us doing the work than actually serve the American people. We won’t let them.

Trump’s violent threats are a stark reminder of the stakes in this election. His dangerous rhetoric is not leadership—it’s a warning of what’s at risk and a promise of what’s to come. On Tuesday, let’s put patriotism above partisanship. And demand decency for our democracy.

Trump’s chaos is no accident—it’s a strategy. This week on Assembly Required, Melissa Murray (@ProfMMurray on Threads 🧵) joins us to unpack his playbook of shock and overreach, from attacks on the 14th Amendment to executive orders that defy the Constitution. Let’s expose it, resist it, and insist on better. Tune in:

This Christmas, we got the ultimate gift: a little more time with our family and another chance to hold each other close. Last year, my dad, Rev. Robert Abrams, was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic gastric cancer. The news gripped our family, but like anyone who has been touched by illness, we came together and quickly sprung into action. I am grateful that I have been able to help my dad with good health coverage and support during his medical treatments. Every additional day we have him with us is a blessing. But, as my parents raised me to do, I can’t help but worry about the millions of Americans who are one diagnosis, one illness, one accident away from heartbreaking choices and financial calamity. Too many are entering the new year with premium increases on their health insurance, so Congress must do its job and extend the Affordable Care Tax credits. And too many states in the South have refused to expand Medicaid — the time to act is now. This isn’t politics, it’s a matter of life or death for an unconscionable number of people. All my life, I watched my dad prove that not holding a title doesn’t excuse you from doing the work. I’ll continue to fight the good fight, because it’s what my dad has taught me — and because it’s the right thing to do.
