ABOUT The American Experiment:
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the new five-part documentary series from Luminant and Playtone reexamines the improbable achievement that was the nationās founding, and the radical question at the center of the revolution: Can a people govern themselves? Directed by Brian Knappenberger (Turning Point) and featuring an extraordinary range of voices including former vice presidents and cabinet officials, current and former members of Congress, a former Supreme Court justice, leading historians, tribal chiefs, military experts, and thought leaders across the political spectrum, the series presents uniquely bipartisan, wide-ranging, and deeply informed conversations about the origins and future of American democracy. Tracking the years leading up to the Revolution through the drafting of the Constitution and the first American presidency,Ā The American ExperimentĀ explores how a nation built on an untested idea has continued to wrestle with the foundational contradictions of slavery, liberty, individual power, and minority representation ā and how American democracy has been built, challenged, and reimagined over the course of two and a half centuries. Cinematic in scope and urgently relevant,Ā The American ExperimentĀ reveals how the debates that defined the countryās founding era still shape the United States, posing a pivotal question at a moment of profound division: Can this extraordinary experiment endure? The series is executive produced by Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, Brian Knappenberger, and Sarah Huisenga.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS š
New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
@Retired_CFO Not at all. Thatās your stupid understanding. Notable American figures/individuals regardless of race should be commended and highlighted. You should read up on the contributions Mr James did to our country.
Daily reminder of exactly what January 6th wasāand what it wasn't.
What it WAS:
⢠A violent breach of the U.S. Capitol building.
⢠An attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
⢠An assault that left over 140 police officers injured.
⢠A multi-million dollar path of destruction to historic property.
⢠A federal crime resulting in over 1,000 court convictions.
What it WASN'T:
⢠A peaceful, patriotic, prayer event.
⢠A "Deep State" setup staged by undercover federal agents and Nancy Pelosi.
⢠A fabricated media event with "faked" audio and video.
⢠An inside job instigated or led by Antifa operatives.
The insurrection was fully documented by the rioters themselves through their own livestreams, text messages, and social media boasts. Facts Matter

As the Trump DOJ mass-deletes government information about the Jan. 6 cases, reminder that you can still access NPR's database covering every single prosecution.
We also provide access to hundreds of videos presented in court.
They didn't want to award the Capitol Police a medal or a plaque but want to reward the people who orchestrated and took part in the violence that injured me and ended my career. In the name of national reconciliation, they pardoned the same rioters who attacked us and now being rewarded for the violence they inflicted on us the officers.
They are trying to make the lives of the rioters whole or better than before they assaulted us. Yet to the officers, no apology, no compensation, no acknowledgment of the bravery and sacrifice we made to protect āeach of your representativesā regardless of what party they belong.
Why did we risk our lives for then?
What a betrayal this is to us and to the rule of law days after āpolice weekā.
