Episode Notes

Donald Trump’s election win will be certified on January 6, 2025 - four years after his supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn  his previous election loss. Congressman Jamie Raskin reflects on that dark day, the impeachment that followed, and “the struggle between authoritarian lies and democracy” that will continue into a second Trump term.
