2021 is supposed to be different, right? Bringing an end to racism, and what about police brutality? Well, if so, we aren't off to a great start.

The GOP says they condemn white supremacy and the Capitol riot, but when it came to impeaching the man who started it all, they gave Trump a pass.
A new NAACP lawsuit could be the ticket to holding Trump and those in his circle accountable @LawProfButler tells @mehdirhasan

Millions are still without power as record colds grip Texas. How bad is it? University of Houston Energy Fellow @edhirs believes it is a miracle that he even has his lights on for an interview with @mehdirhasan.

As massive storms cripple the Texas power grid, Republican lawmakers in the Lone Star State are focused on blaming Democrats. Austin, TX native @samjgrasso believes this “is really despicable.”

The more you learn about him, @benwikler tells @mehdirhasan, the worse it gets. Sen. Ron Johnson "is fundamentally unfit to hold public office."

To understand the modern Republican party, you have to understand the way in which they have become purveyors of ‘the Big Lie’.

The big lie didn’t die with Trump’s 2020 election bid. Instead, with help from lawmakers like Sen. Ron Johnson, it’s simply evolved. @benwikler joins @mehdirhasan to explain how Sen. Johnson is paving the way for another Trump run in 2024. Tune in at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV

WATCH: Are Democrats actually going to get anything done in the Senate in the next two years? That depends, says @mehdirhasan, on whether Sen. Kyrsten Sinema will remember who she was in 2012, before it’s too late:

The nursing home Covid scandal is taking its toll on NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Could it cost him his reelection next year? “I think he will face a pretty stiff primary,” says @jessemckinley. “Someone on the left will challenge him and try to run on issues like this, on transparency.”

Did Sen. Chris Coons *really* say he wanted the impeachment trial over in time for Valentine’s Day? “I don’t want to go into what senators said or did not say,” says Rep. Eric Swalwell. As for Trump, “He’s gonna age like milk, he’s not gonna age like fine wine.”

Why didn't impeachment managers call witnesses? Because Mitch McConnell had already said he would vote to acquit Trump. "That was deflating for us. We saw him as a linchpin vote," @RepSwalwell tells @mehdirhasan. "We thought it would be futile to chase uncooperative witnesses."

.@mehdirhasan: Why does America, founded in resistance to monarchy, give the rich and powerful so many second chances?
@AnandWrites: “Second chances are not a bad thing. They're just very poorly distributed...People at the top are hoarding the opportunity to reinvent yourself.”

WATCH: Did you catch last night’s American Idol? “Welcome to the Kellyanne Conway rehabilitation tour,” says @mehdirhasan. “For all the bluster about cancel culture, if you're rich and powerful in America, you can get away with almost anything.”

Former AOC advisor Corbin Trent tells @mehdirhasan the Democrats missed a chance to change more American minds by not calling witnesses in the Trump impeachment. But @JRubinBlogger says that’s “talking about some mythical world...I’d like to have what he’s having.”
