You’ve probably heard about Ted Cruz’s Cancun resort trip during historic winter weather that literally left millions of his Texas constituents in the cold without power. But @mehdirhasan reminds you that’s only the second-worst thing he’s done this year. And it’s just February.

Did you know the U.S. has higher infant mortality rates than Bosnia and Cuba? As @mehdirhasan reports, Covid and the Texas power crisis have laid bare how America is “literally falling apart after decades of diverting resources away from the things that make life livable.”

Biden's path to undocumented citizenship is politically risky. But “many of these people are on the front lines, picking the food that we're eating,” says @pilitobar87, and “Covid has brought up the moral imperative for us to do something to bring these folks out of the shadows.”

What's economist @paulkrugman think about the Gamestop/Reddit/Robinhood kerfuffle as the House holds hearings? "There are no good guys in this story," he tells @mehdirhasan, scoffing at "the idea that any of this has anything to do with the problems of inequality in America."

Why is U.S. infrastructure crumbling? Because we're "coasting on the Eisenhower years," @paulkrugman tells @mehdirhasan. "We have a system that was built at a time that there was a bipartisan consensus that you actually needed to build things. And since then, we've starved it."

The good news? @paulkrugman tells @mehdirhasan there’s an end in sight to the Covid-related economic crisis.
The bad news? “Once we're back to where we were in late 2019, well, that's better than where we are now, but it wasn't good."

After protesting the 2013 coup, @soltan was tortured in prison for two years. Even now, “My family is scared to talk to me because they can get arrested, they can get disappeared,” he says. “This is a microcosm of everything that's been going on in Egypt for seven years.”

How did those crafty leftists sneak a Green New Deal past Texas's Republican governor, Republican legislature, and two Republican senators? As millions of Texans shiver through freezing temperatures and rolling power outages, @mehdirhasan takes on the GOP's "Big Lie" du jour:

Former presidents?
You have Jimmy Carter, building homes.
You have George W. Bush, painting portraits.
"And then," @RepJasonCrow tells @mehdirhasan, "you have Donald Trump, who’s calling into Fox, airing his grievances, and sowing conspiracy theories."

Texas Republicans “sold this ideology and this tagline about less government,” @JoaquinCastrotx tells @mehdirhasan. “Those taglines work a lot better in theory than in practice. And so they didn’t weatherize; they didn’t prepare the state’s electrical grid.”

“The climate denial movement is the most sophisticated lie that the Republican party has,” @emorwee tells @mehdirhasan. “Anything that they can say to deflect blame from themselves...they actually have to say.” If they stopped denying, they’d be “responsible for quite a bit.”
