WATCH: How did a Senate hearing about security failures on 1/6 degenerate into a forum for a right-wing conspiracy theory on Antifa “fake Trump protesters”? @mehdirhasan explains how no amount of security measures can stop extremist lies and the violence they inspire:

WATCH:
Half a million.
Nearly one a minute, for a year.
Plenty of Democrats need to be held accountable, @mehdirhasan says, but one lesson of the past 12 months is to “never believe Trump's Republican party, when they say they care about anyone's lives, ever again.”

Why didn’t Trump’s SCOTUS noms come to his aid in today’s rulings on elections and his tax returns? “So they can build up that political capital down the road,” says Slate’s @mjs_DC, “when they issue decisions that, say, crush voting rights or abortion rights or LGBTQ equality.”

Low-wage workers and @RevDrBarber lobbied Joe Manchin yesterday for a $15 minimum wage. "It was an interesting meeting," the reverend tells @mehdirhasan. "We had to correct certain facts. But he did come away, I think, recognizing that these people are not going anywhere."

Many people initially praised NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Covid response. But “he was actively covering [up] the numbers of nursing home deaths” after his own policies returned many Covid carriers to those homes, says @ZephyrTeachout: “He's trying to hide what he himself has done.”
