1. God bless him.

How lucky are we that someone of his caliber serves? I hope he’s president one day or at least senator for many many many years. He is among the best of us.

And his esteemed counterparts on the right are such pale shadows.

2. Agree that we are so lucky to have both him and Adam Schiff

Especially now when we need him the most - when he's been through so much. He is one exceptional American hero.

And many others too, each so inspiring and fine in their own way. But I have special admiration for Jamie and Adam

Losing a child has to be hard

5. Wonderful segment. Sex/teenagers, suicide/depression, fascism/authoritarianism

Not talking about sex with teenagers is dangerous.

Just like not bringing up suicide with people you know are depressed. Give them a way to discuss.

And then not understanding that fascism is just a way to exert control. The purveyors of the ideology don't give a shit about ideological labels, they just want control.

6. It was actually a lot longer and I kept waiting for MSNBC to upload more

Rachel read a short part of his book and discussed more of his experiences with him. I agree that Jamie Raskin is an American hero, he kept going and doing his duty despite all he was going through at the same time.
