Most Americans don’t realize *just* how embedded the U.S. has become in the Mideast rivalry against Iran, regional expert @vali_nasr tells @mehdirhasan: “We don't see ourselves as being a party to this, but we are. We are the army of Saudi Arabia.”

If there'd been no Covid pandemic, would Trump have won? “It could have definitely led to that. I mean, had he been just a little more empathetic, had he been a little more presidential,” says reporter @amieparnes. “He defied logic and got all these other people to vote for him.”

Andrew Cuomo’s televised apology today “wasn't sufficient,” says state Sen. @Biaggi4NY, who is still calling for the governor to step down: “If a governor of the state of New York acts abusively or creates a toxic work environment, that is a resignation-worthy act.”

"We could have a real sense of a new normal by this summer," says Covid researcher @mtosterholm, but premature reopenings and vaccine-refusers can make things worse. So can new strains, if they're vaccine-resistant: "We gotta hope that's not the case, but hope's not a strategy."

“The people that have killed the most in the U.S., it’s not Islamist jihadism, it’s not anarchist extremists, it’s right-wing violent extremists,” Republican ex-DHS official @NeuSummits tells @mehdirhasan. Her reaction to GOPers’ denial of right-wing extremism? “How sad.”

The GOP senators picking apart Biden’s female DOJ nominees of color had no problems confirming the scandal-tainted Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr. But @CapehartJ sees a silver lining in the “galling” double standard: “We're talking about it, and we all see it.”
