<p>Welcome to "The Stakes After Dark." For the next four nights, we're going to be taking a look at the organizational clusterfuckery mixed with soul-crushing boredom mixed with rhetorical grave-robbing that is the Republican National Convention in scenic Cleveland, Ohio. Tonight, we'll hear from Ana Marie Cox in the field, plus Holly Anderson, Jane Coaston, Jaime Fuller, and Julianne Ross in our New York City studio. Let's get into it.

The Stakes After Dark (SAD!): It's Only Tuesday

The Stakes is your look at the week's news, without the filler of talking heads and clickbait. Every week, MTV’s Holly Anderson and her team of writers — including Ana Marie Cox and Jamil Smith — guide you through the week’s news, social justice issues, and culture stories through a mix interviews, essays, special reporting, and poetry. The Stakes is investigative, thoughtful, and BS-free.
