While still in power, Democrats must confront Trump's plans

In a new “On-Target,” we highlight Rachel Maddow’s call to defy GOP and vet Cabinet picks.

Steven Beschloss and I renamed our video series “On-Target” because we want to highlight strong pro-democracy journalism and no longer focus on the media’s many missteps. It’s a pivot to positivity in these challenging times.

Today we praise MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow for explaining how Senate Democrats can vet Donald Trump’s awful Cabinet picks when Republicans are pushing a cover-up. Maddow also highlighted Democratic governors trying to defend their states against the coming assault on the rule of law and decency. We also recommend a piece by Jonathan M. Berman on the health and medicine website STAT rejecting Robert F. Kennedy’s claim that he’s not an anti-vaxxer.
