Do you want a Covid stimulus? Action on climate change? A fifteen dollar minimum wage?
Well, all of that becomes almost impossible if the filibuster remains in place. Seems like the Democrats may be setting themselves up for failure yet again. More from @mehdirhasan:

The Republican Party and Trumpism seem to be “ride or die, baby” @tina_nguyen tells @MehdiRHasan. She adds that the GOP is leaning into this sense that “maybe they can harness this anti-govt. energy for their own end. We saw how that ended up on the Capitol earlier this month.”

“Josh Hawley can try and deny his role in stoking the rhetoric that fueled a violent insurrection," says @mehdirhasan. But a photo with his fist up in solidarity with Capitol rioters “will haunt him for the rest of his political career however long or ideally short it may be.”

The American people deserve to know what is taking place inside of private prisons, especially “if our tax dollars are paying to put people in cages for a profit,” @justice_is_love tells @mehdirhasan. “It’s just immoral to profit from misery.”

Can’t understand why Joe Manchin told Mitch McConnell he'll commit indefinitely to keeping the filibuster? (Neither could we).
But @ezraklein offers @MehdiRHasan the clearest breakdown why it doesn't make sense that we've heard yet:

Former RNC Chairman @michaelsteele tells @mehdihasan of Trumpism "We want that crap as far away from the GOP as it can possibly be thrown.”

Dems hold a razor-thin margin in Congress. @ezraklein argued in @nytopinion that they’ll need to rebuild the political system to stave off a Trumpian midterms resurgence. Tonight, he joins @mehdirhasan at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV to discuss how party leadership can achieve it

Russian dissident Alexei Navalny has shown exceptional bravery and his arrest has ignited protests in more than 100 cities across Russia. @mehdirhasan asks @BillBrowder if there’s a risk of lionizing the opposition leader:

Does Dr. @syramadad have any sympathy for Dr. Birx’s time on the White House Covid task force?
"I don't," she simply puts to @mehdirhasan. Birx "was given a platform to spread good information" and yet praised Trump after he spread false information and downplayed the pandemic.

“It was the lying, the brazen, relentless” lying, that defined Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ tenure as Trump’s Press Secy. Something the people of AR should probably be reminded of as she kicks off her bid for governor. @mehdirhasan highlights her top 5 lies while in the White House:
