Summary

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with a reminder of, "What about her emails?" In the wake that controversy, which many see as fabricated by the GOP, Donald Trump’s CIA has now committed what is being called a counterintelligence disaster by reportedly sending the names of recently hired CIA employees to the White House in an unclassified email. Plus, fear and outrage has errupted in the Middle East after Trump’s irresponsible remarks about turning Gaza into a "Riviera" of the Middle East, permanently stealing the homes of two million Gazans. We also cover growing glimmers of the rebel alliance, as thousands of Americans in fifty states took to the streets on Wednesday to reject the hostile, MAGA takeover of American democracy—denouncing everything from Trump’s calls to occupy Gaza to his Project 2025 playbook and the seemingly unlimited authority Trump has handed to Elon Musk, with zero checks and balances and no oversight.
