Biden promised there would be an epiphany from Republicans in Congress when he was president. It is yet to happen. Sen. @EdMarkey tells @MehdiRHasan we should "give them a chance."

The same classic film that is now inspiring Democrats to change Senate rules to enact their agenda, also inspired @EdMarkey in very profound (and practical) ways. “The filibuster has to go,” he tells @MehdiRHasan:

An armed man killed 8 people, including 6 women of Asian descent, in 3 Georgia spas, but the police say that this attack was *not* racially motivated.
Stephanie Cho of @AAAJ_Atlanta does not believe that for a second. Listen to what she tells @mehdirhasan:

Amazon personnel tell @AlecMacGillis: “We know these jobs are tough and relatively low paid, but hey, they’re better than nothing, right?” But CEO Jeff Bezos’ “wealth grew by $58 billion last year,” MacGillis says, so they can likely pay better for “grueling, monotonous work.”

“The Lincoln Project is the most successful super PAC in the history of America,” Stuart Stevens tells @mehdirhasan, pushing back on criticism of the never-Trump PAC and its finances; for his part, he made “less money than I've made in any campaign since I was 28 years old.”

“We have become the stupid party,” @stuartpstevens tells @mehdirhasan of the GOP. “When you don’t believe in science, when you don’t believe in truth, and you don't have any sort of moral basis [for] why you want to govern, you just are sort of in this death spiral.”

Unaccompanied migrant children at the border are filling shelters and face “conditions that no child should be subject to,” @jacobsoboroff tells @mehdirhasan. As for the Biden admin., “No they were not ready, yes they should have been ready, and the big question is why.”

The Senate gives white-majority states vast federal power. @CharlesMBlow wants more Black people to move south like him for greater political agency: “Your absolute percentage of population in the country is not determinative of how much power you can have on the state level.”

H.R. 1, the “For The People” voting bill, is an overloaded “Frankenstein monster,” @SykesCharlie says. But bill proponent @SteveESpaulding says it establishes “fair, uniform national standards” for elections… and “shines a light” on dark money that permeates campaigns.

“We need more people down there vetting families,” @RepBonnie tells @mehdirhasan of the crisis on the southern border. “We don't want to warehouse these children...even though they may be treated better under this administration, it's no place for 3,000 children to be housed.”

Sen. Ron Johnson doesn’t think it’s racist to say a Black mob scares him more than a white one, because “racism and bigotry have been normalized on the right,” @SykesCharlie tells @mehdirhasan: “They are constantly reassuring themselves that no, you can't possibly be a racist.”
