Maddow: Trump Cabinet too rife with scandal to designate a 'survivor'
2/24/202643 min
Rachel Maddow considering the tradition associated with the State of the Union address in which one member of the president's Cabinet does not attend the event in case something happens that prevents everyone in attendance at the speech who would ordinarily be part of the presidential succession from being able to serve. But in Donald Trump's case, his Cabinet is so full of scandal and disgrace, designating a survivor seems impossible.
Rep. Pat Ryan discusses rallying local resistance against Donald Trump's planned network of ICE prisons.
Rachel Maddow reports on an important sign of light for the rule of law: federal judges losing patience with Donald Trump's Department of Justice for repeatedly defying orders, particularly in immigration cases.

[upbeat music] President Trump just made a huge announcement that could save you real money, and Wall Street is already feeling the fire. He's given the Credit Card Competition Act his complete and total endorsement to stop what he calls the swipe fee rip-off. Right now, Visa and Mastercard control more than eighty percent of the credit card market, allowing them to charge skyrocketing hidden fees every time you swipe your card. That means higher prices on groceries, gas, everything you buy. Senator Roger Marshall's Credit Card Competition Act would end Visa and Mastercard's duopoly and lower swipe fees, meaning American families will see lower costs at checkout and local businesses can keep their doors open. But Congress still needs to hear from you. Call your member of Congress today and tell them to stand with President Trump and Senator Marshall and pass the Credit Card Competition Act. Let's end the swipe fee rip-off and put American families and small businesses first. Paid for by the Merchants Payments Coalition. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
