Myon Burrell was convicted at 16 of a murder he says he didn't commit. MN officials freed him yesterday after 18 years. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's office tried his case in 2002. @IlhanMN now says Klobuchar "should at least give him a call... If an apology is due, she should apologize."

.@IlhanMN isn't as quick as AOC to blame the shrinking size of Covid relief on Nancy Pelosi. In her negotiations as the Progressive Caucus whip, Omar says, "You get to see a different light of what leadership is doing… The holdup truly is from Republicans."

"It's really quite shameful that we find ourselves negotiating a deal with such a small amount of money," @IlhanMN tells Mehdi about Covid relief. "A possible one-time check of $600," 9 months after struggling Americans received $1,200: "We are not embarrassed enough as leaders."

Support is rising for an Edward @Snowden pardon as Trump leaves office. But @selectedwisdom argues he's not worthy: "This isn't just about domestic surveillance," but "how much resources, how many Americans maybe even put their life on their line to build this intelligence."

"You may be asking yourself: 'Wow, was this something people were complaining about? Was this really necessary?' My answer for you would be: No, it wasn't necessary. But yes, somebody was complaining." Mehdi takes on Trump's most peculiar end-of-term regulatory action. #showers

.@MarcusCooks says there are *3* pandemics afflicting Americans today: Covid, climate change and racism. "These were issues that were here way before Trump," he says. "I look forward to the Biden-Harris era," but his focus now is "all about saving small businesses in America."

In June, VP Mike Pence published a WSJ op-ed titled “There Isn't a Coronavirus 'Second Wave.'" @OliviaTroye worked on it with another staffer and says she is appalled now, as U.S. deaths from Covid cross 300,000: "We did push back, but we were overruled."

Olivia joins us tonight
I’m irate/sickened by this story-certain events in the June/July timeframe in the #WhiteHouse on the #Covid response now make sense to me. I couldn’t fight the #Trump machine anymore. I gave up & quit. The decisions made were going to kill more Americans-but that was their plan.

"'The institutions held' is a really bad argument. The institutions barely held," says @TimothyDSnyder of Trump's impending exit from power. "We're treading water. We're not swimming. Whether we're going to go down or not, I think, remains to be seen."

"What matters is less a mandate and more how do you convince Americans that they need to wear masks?" says @celinegounder. "This is a basic hygienic measure, no different from using toilet paper. And we would never politicize, at least I don't think we would, using toilet paper."

If you believe the conspiracy theorists, Trump’s last line of defense to steal the election -- the Republican judges he appointed -- were actually aligned with George Soros and the still-dead Hugo Chavez. No, really. Let @MehdiRHasan explain:

Trump "wakes up extremely early and then spends the first 5 or 6 hours of his day in the residence, making phone calls, watching television, uh... that's basically it, really," says @jonathanvswan. "He doesn't sleep very much, but he also isn't exactly in the office reading."

"These are not just sort of small losses, these are overwhelming defeats," @jonathanvswan says of Trump's election cases. "In some cases with barely concealed ridicule from the judges." One WH official told him Trump keeps bashing the judges, "but we appointed a lot of them."
