Jen Psaki looks at ways Republicans are trying to avoid accountability for Donald Trump's failures by rigging the election system to take power away from voters who would reject them.As the federal government shutdown drags on, House Speaker Mike Johnson does not appear motivated to use his uniquely powerful position to resolve the crisis. Nor does he seem inclined to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva who recently won a special election. Grijalva and Rep. Robert Garcia talk with Jen Psaki about how Mike Johnson's political games are hurting Grijalva's constituents in Arizona and why the only real reason for Johnson's delay is to hold off a vote on a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein investigation files.Federal workers are unbowed in their resistance to Donald Trump even as Trump has devoted his second term to making their lives miserable. Senator Andy Kim tells Jen Psaki that federal workers he has talked to tell him that Donald Trump's attempt to use the federal government shutdown as an excuse to fire more federal workers is plainly false because they've lived through Trump gunning for them since his second term began.
