As we close out a holiday weekend I thought I’d sent out some recent clips from my SiriusXM show. All weekend our “Progress Avengers” special aired — in which several of the SiriusXM Progress hosts — this time, Zerlina Maxwell, Jess McIntosh, John Fugelsang, Dean Obeidallah and me — get together and talk about everything politics and much more.

And this first clip is me and the great Dean Obeidallah discussing why “insurrection” isn’t great, “riot” is terrible and domestic terrorist attack is just right.

Here, Congressman Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, co-chair of the Progressive Caucus in the House, discussed Donald Trump’s grip over the GOP.

“[Donald Trump] is on his retribution tour, and that’s what I think many Republicans are afraid of” @repmarkpocan on The @MSignorile Show

Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon joined me and gave a really important history lesson on the filibuster, how it began and how it’s been abused. And why the self-described “Chief Filibuster Antagonist” believes it must go.

“This is a tactic that has infected the Senate, really paralyzed it” @SenJeffMerkley (D-OR) slammed Senate Republicans for refusing to even debate the #ForThePeopleAct on The @MSignorile Show #VotingRights #votersuppression

Congressman Angie Craig of Minnesota talked about the attack on the police by Trump supporters in a way that all Democrats must be speaking — going on the offensive instead of defending against the idiotic attacks by the GOP that Dems are anti-police. It’s the GOP that has literally allowed for police to be attacked and killed by terrorists.

“[Republicans] are still sucking up to Donald Trump & his supporters & won’t even support the police officers who saved our lives” @RepAngieCraig slammed Republicans for refusing to support a Jan. 6th Commission & for throwing police officers under the bus on The @MSignorile Show

And Congressman Mark Takano of California, the first Asian-American LGBTQ person elected to Congress, discussed how much progress Joe Biden has made on LGBTQ rights.

Now we have to make sure it continues, which means working hard as we enter the 2022 elections, even in the face of all the madness we’ve been experiencing.

Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. I’ll see many of you on the show this week!
