Responding to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's comments about the Electoral College, Trump campaign says that the US belongs to all Americans, while falsely asserting that "this is our country, not theirs." on.msnbc.com/32idqMz
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez described the Electoral College as a "scam" and said the way the US picks its presidents dilutes the voting power of people of color, as well as voters in large cities.

In 2012, Donald Trump said that "the electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."
The 2012 tweet from the future president stands in contrast to his tweets about the Electoral College following his election, which he then touted and promoted as a more difficult accomplishment to achieve vs. the popular vote, which he lost to Hillary Clinton.

With both Hunter Biden and John Durham, Republicans had dreams of the DOJ being an attack dog against their political enemies. And both dreams have gone up in flames, @_Jahan writes. msnbc.com/the-reidout/re…
@MSNBC @_Jahan They’re just getting started tbh
-Fake Electors given immunity including planners
-USSS Agents testified to J6 Jury
-McCarthy floating Garland Impeachment
-MTG trying to decapitate ATF
-DOCUMENTS CASE HAS THEM TERRIFIED OF TRUMP FLIPPING FOR A DEAL
-Rudy scared
-Putin turmoils
@MSNBC @_Jahan The GOP is trying to get Independent State Legislature off the ground. They don’t want strong states, just strong fiefdoms for themselves and their adherents. Beheading federal enforcement agencies while holding up their replacements is pregame for gathering forces. Coup again?

Personally, @mehdirhasan wouldn’t interview Donald Trump — a man who has used live events to incite violence and tell lies.

But if he had to, here are 10 questions he would ask, and hopes CNN does tonight. (1/11) msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
@mehdirhasan Question #1:

The president swears to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” You are on record calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution.

Have you disqualified yourself from the presidency?
@mehdirhasan Question #2:

Many would argue you disqualified yourself from the presidency on Jan. 6, 2021, when you incited a mob you knew was armed to march on Congress and “fight like hell.”

Why didn’t you condemn the rioters? And why did your own son have to beg you to do it?

With the criminal convictions of five Proud Boys, a third jury has ruled that Jan. 6 was an organized, violent uprising meant to overturn the 2020 election. (1/4) msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
Even a single guilty verdict for seditious conspiracy is rare.

In less than half a year, juries have found 10 people in total guilty of the crime in relation to Jan. 6. (2/4)
In courtrooms, it’s now established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was not spontaneous, but rather a planned assault by force on our democracy. (3/4)

Meta announced this week that it’s overhauling its system for giving out verification badges on Facebook and Instagram. Now, blue check marks can be bought by anyone for the price of $11.99 per month for web, or $14.99 for mobile. (1/7)

It’s likely Mark Zuckerberg was inspired to unveil the plan after seeing Twitter’s Elon Musk make a similar move a few months ago when he rolled out Twitter Blue subscriptions, @ZeeshanAleem writes. (2/7) msnbc.com/the-mehdi-hasa…
.@ZeeshanAleem: Making verification badges available for a monthly rate transforms their meaning. Verification will no longer serve as a tool to identify credibility, but can now be weaponized to do the opposite, allowing bad actors to peddle misinformation with clout (3/7)
