Mail-in voting has been a tried and tested part of America's electoral system for decades. Yet in recent months, it's been the target of a coordinated disinformation campaign propagated not by Russia, but President Trump and his Republican allies. A new Harvard study led by Yochai Benkler examines how the president harnesses mass media to disseminate and reinforce disinformation about mail-in voter fraud. Benkler joins Hari Sreenivasan to explain his findings.

Trump's first impeachment - 2020 Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. asked U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts during the Senate impeachment trial whether he would be willing to break ties on impeachment votes, citing two tie-breaking votes by the chief justice during the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson in 1868 as precedent. Roberts said he did not regard “isolated episodes” that took place 150 years ago as “sufficient to support a general authority to break ties.” “It would be inappropriate for me, an unelected official from a different branch of government, to assert the power to change that result so that the motion would succeed,” Roberts said. After days of arguments posed by the House managers and Trump’s legal team, followed by questions posed by senators, the lawmakers voted not to allow new witnesses and documents on Friday, Jan. 31. The Senate must now decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Trump's first impeachment - 2020 Chief Justice John Roberts declined to read a question submitted by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., during President Trump’s impeachment trial. After looking at the question that was sent to the dais, Roberts said, “the presiding officer declines to read the question as submitted.” Senators had a second day to ask questions of the House managers and President Donald Trump’s legal team on Thursday, Jan. 30. That came after both sides were given three days, respectively, to present their case. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The questions come ahead of a vote on whether to bring forward witnesses and documents as part of the Senate trial. The Senate must now decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office.

Hey everyone, this video, "Aja (Steely Dan) LIVE College Cover | Low Darts at Sherman Green 2025" was mixed, mastered, and produced by Colman Connolly at Sherman Green gazebo in Fairfield, Connecticut, USA on August 15th, 2025. Live band and live performance concert. Messed up the lyrics in the second verse but it's alright ???? "Aja" is a song by the American rock band Steely Dan, from their sixth studio album Aja, released in 1977. It is a jazz rock song with elements of jazz fusion and progressive rock. Writers Walter Becker and Donald Fagen play guitar and synthesizer, respectively, with session musicians playing the other parts. Fagen sings lead vocals. Production duties were handled by Gary Katz; the album was released through ABC Records. Musically, it is tonally sophisticated and a structurally complex work that was praised upon release as the most ambitious track the duo had ever attempted. The song's lyrics voice the interior monologue of a man who runs to the title character to escape the stresses of his life "up on the hill." Fagen claimed that it was inspired by the relative of an acquaintance, who had married a Korean woman named Aja. He has described the song as being about the "tranquility that can come of a quiet relationship with a beautiful woman."

The title track from The Royal Scam album (1976). The music speaks for itself, but the story telling is at its best on this album. Enjoy the The Royal Scam on my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfGibfZATlGrvWkpL8_85c3STuNv6d3Cz I am not monetized by YT. Please like & subscribe. Thank you. (Lyrics & song info below). And they wandered in from the city Of St. John without a dime Wearing coats that shined both red and green Colors from their sunny island From their boats of iron they looked upon The promised land where surely life was sweet On the rising tide to New York City Did they ride into the street See the glory (See the glory of) Of the royal scam They are hounded down to the bottom Of a bad town amid the ruins Where they learn to fear an angry race Of fallen kings, their dark companions While the memory of their southern sky Was clouded by the savage winter Every patron saint hung on the wall Shared the room with twenty sinners See the glory (See the glory of) Of the royal scam By the blackened wall he does it all He thinks he's died and gone to heaven Now the tale is told by the old man Back home he reads the letter How they are paid in gold just to babble In the back room all night and waste the time And they wandered in from the city Of St. John without a dime See the glory (See the glory of) Of the royal scam See the glory (See the glory of) Of the royal scam See the glory (See the glory of) Of the royal scam This is an excerpt from The Rolling Stone's original album review. I'm throwing this in because it's always (for me) been a very poor guide to music for those who are truly curious & want some genuine, objective feedback. It's ten times worse today: "...In any event, I doubt that Steely Dan will ever become merely precious or insular; through five albums they have consistently circumvented their complexity with passionate snaz-ziness and fluky, cynical wit. If The Royal Scam lacks ready-made Top 40 fodder, it also widens Steely Dan’s already considerable parameters. Their next album, if one can speculate about this lovably perverse bunch, should be a pop killer. In the meantime The Royal Scam is well worth living with, pondering and, what the hell, even dancing to." ~ Kenneth Tucker (July 1976). (Talk about getting it wrong!). Donald Fagen – Lead Vocals, Keyboards Walter Becker – Guitars, Bass, String Arrangements Larry Carlton – Lead Guitars Denny Dias – Guitars Bernard Purdie – Drums The list of musicians on the album is dizzying. I'm no expert, but it demonstrates just how well respected they were in the business. Aja was yet to come (& Gaucho, which is nothing to sneer at).
