The news around Matt Gaetz’s sex-trafficking investigation keeps getting weirder and weirder. That’s Florida, Politico’s @mdixon55 tells @mehdirhasan: “A lot of people refer to Washington as 'the swamp', but we have the Everglades, and Florida is sort of the original swamp.”

What drives anti-Asian hate crimes? Donald Trump’s use of Covid epithets, even after “the CDC and the WHO said not to use those terms,” says @RepJudyChu. Now, many people are “taking it out on the most vulnerable and the elderly, those that they can hit and get away with it.”

You know what they say about PR people: They should never be the story.
"Well, maybe someone should have given that piece of advice to the people at Amazon," says @mehdirhasan. Let him recount the union-busting retailer's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day on Twitter:
