'Biggest mistake of my life': Regret sets in for Trump voters as Republican politicians panic

Rachel Maddow looks at Trump voters realizing that what they thought they were voting for is quite distant from what they are getting, and Republican politicians are panicking as they're too afraid to stand up to Trump even as they see their constituents, whose votes they need, suffering under Trump's policies.

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has engaged in several actions to censor or restrict media outlets:

1. Barring the Associated Press (AP) from Presidential Events: In February 2025, the Trump administration prohibited AP journalists from covering events in the Oval Office and traveling on Air Force One. This decision was in response to the AP’s refusal to adopt the administration’s directive to rename the “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Gulf of America” in their reporting. 

2. Canceling Subscriptions to Major News Outlets: The State Department, under President Trump’s directive, canceled subscriptions to prominent news organizations, including The New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters, and Bloomberg News. This move was part of a broader initiative to reduce government spending on media subscriptions deemed non-essential. 

3. Investigations into Media Organizations: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, appointed by President Trump, revived investigations into alleged bias by major networks such as CBS, ABC, and NBC. Additionally, the FCC initiated probes into National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) regarding their sponsorships, with recommendations to halt federal funding for these public broadcasters. 

4. Manipulation of Language in Official Communications: The Trump administration has been noted for intentionally altering language in official communications to advance its agenda. Examples include rebranding offshore drilling as an “energy emergency” and renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” Such linguistic changes have been criticized as attempts to reshape societal narratives and historical facts. 

These actions have raised concerns among journalists and free speech advocates, who view them as potential infringements on press freedom and the First Amendment.

Trump continues having rallies in historic all-White "Sundown Towns," where Blacks had to leave by sunset.

Ayman Mohyeldin discusses the implications of Trump's having held rallies in Aug. and Sept. in four "Sundown Towns," where in the past Blacks had to leave/be off the streets by sundown. The rallies were held in Howell, MI, La Crosse, WI, and Johnstown, PA., and Mosinee, WI. Below is the video that Ayman posted on X.

AYMAN: "When your slogan is the nostalgic phrase Make America Great Again, a campaign tour of 'sundown towns' helps us all understand the America that Donald Trump is yearning for."

Trump keeps sending out his racist "dog whistles," while at the same time claiming that it is really "Whites" who are being discriminated against, and campaigning that he will ban the discussion in schools of "divisive" topics, like critical race theory, and instead promote a "patriotic" educational curriculum, like the whitewashed one developed by the 1776 Project in his last administration.

BlackPast: Sundown Towns:

Sundown Towns are all-white communities, neighborhoods, or counties that exclude Blacks and other minorities through the use of discriminatory laws, harassment, and threats or use of violence. The name derives from the posted and verbal warnings issued to Blacks that although they might be allowed to work or travel in a community during the daytime, they must leave by sundown. Although the term most often refers to the forced exclusion of Blacks, the history of sundown towns also includes prohibitions against Jews, Native Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and other minority groups. Although it is difficult to make an accurate count, historians estimate there were up to 10,000 sundown towns in the United States between 1890 and 1960, mostly in the Mid-West and West.

The Green-Book

The rise of sundown towns made it difficult and dangerous for Blacks to travel long distances by car. In 1930, for instance, 44 of the 89 counties along the famed Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles featured no motels or restaurants and prohibited Blacks from entering after dark. In response, Victor H. Green, a postal worker from Harlem, compiled the Negro Motorist Green Book, a guide to accommodations that served Black travelers. The guide was published from 1936 to 1966, and at its height of popularity was used by two million people.

Trump apparently oblivious to political damage of his embrace of Russia 

Rachel Maddow looks at how wildly unpopular Donald Trump's attempt to flip America's foreign affairs alignment with an embrace of Russia and weird false accusations against Ukraine is, with Republican politicians caught in awkward disagreement and voters broadly not on board.

Really, these corporate media types had little to no sympathy for Palestinians this whole time but as soon as a CEO of a company that denies claims for many many people each year gets offed then suddenly the tears for him and finger wagging towards us begins.
