    Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Donald Trump, who last month claimed that only he and his long-time advisor Dan Scavino could post to his social media account.

This incident is not the first time Trump has invoked rhetoric echoing Hitler's Germany. We also bring you the latest as Trump's defense rests without Trump testifying in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial. Listen now to this episode of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

    Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with the fact that it is becoming increasingly clear that Donald Trump's promise to testify was likely just dishonest bravado, as the defense begins its case without calling him. Plus, Joy analyzes significant events that have unfolded recently, including an upside-down American flag--long considered a symbol of distress--that was seen flying over Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito's house. She delves into why Alito and others with the MAGA grievance mentality are apparently in such "distress" that they seem to feel that a Trump dictatorship is necessary to solve their problems.
