Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi's talk at Columbia this week was full of insight. This warning, on social media manipulation, is FACTS: "The capacity for extortion and blackmail based on your data -- including data that is not even 100% true -- becomes a HUGE problem..."

More from Clinton on social media manipulation and disinformation. Here she discusses Douglass Mackey, the Trump-lover convicted for a 2016 voter suppression scheme meant to trick Clinton supporters to cast their votes in ways that wouldn't be counted.

.@_jahan: Trump's attorney isn’t the first person to launder Black criticism of the criminal justice system in service of a right-wing white dude. But, as president, Trump aligned himself with that very same system. So, it's a tough sell. -@thereidout Blog msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidou…

Trump's defense attorney in Georgia spins himself dizzy on live TV

Trump lawyer Drew Findling trotted out a ridiculous (and predictable) argument trying to defend the former president in the Fulton County election probe.

.@_jahan: To be unapologetic is to remain stoic in the face of judgment. But to me, Ta-Nehisi Coates isn't stoic. He’s righteously confrontational. And that's why he and his work have been targeted by conservatives. (via The ReidOut Blog) msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidou…

Black History, Uncensored: Ta-Nehisi Coates can’t be tamed

The GOP’s effort to hide Coates’ work appears to be based in the author’s desire to place whiteness, as an idea, under a microscope.

Byron Donalds’ speaker nomination is a shameless ploy

Trump-loving Republicans who oppose Kevin McCarthy set their sights on a Black congressman for House speaker and tried to give a lesson on Black history.

“McCarthy political career is already dead. He has agreed to several conditions that weaken the speakership for anyone who holds the position in the next congressional term. Whoever that is will be House speaker in name only.” @_Jahan msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidou…

Kevin McCarthy’s public embarrassment is a joy to watch

Vote after vote after vote, Kevin McCarthy keeps failing to gain the support he needs from House Republicans to become speaker. This is becoming hilarious.
