We’re a month out from the most consequential midterm elections of the 21st century. With momentum on its side, the Democratic party is hoping that big wins in November will lead to a dredging of the entire federal government – one that’s continued an ICE surge with impunity, that’s failed to stem a worsening affordability crisis, and that’s started wars after promising to end them. As the countdown to the elections winds down, Symone and Eugene invite the one-and-only Rachel Maddow back into the groupchat to share their hope that the Democratic party will rise to the occasion and start cleaning up the political mess we’re in. They also get into how her new true crime documentary – Kill, Bury, Print – reflects local communities fighting back against corrupt forces in government. “This is not a smoke detector moment. This is a flames in the kitchen moment,” says Rachel, who has not given up. “Even their own people are repulsed by the worst things they’re doing. And that to me is a healthy sign.”

Skye Perryman, president and CEO of the watchdog group Democracy Forward, joins Morning Joe to discuss new reporting on how DHS and ICE are trying to prevent eligible voters from exercising their rights.
