Joel Greenberg, the Matt Gaetz associate charged with sex trafficking, is expected to plead guilty soon. Will he flip on Gaetz? Not necessarily, says ex-prosecutor @renato_mariotti. But, he adds: “Why would Greenberg plead guilty this early if he wasn't cooperating?”

How does @BrianBeutler view Congress’s inaction on guns after he was shot in 2008? “I don't take it super personally when it happens,” he says, but “the country should be able to pass bills that have 90% support so that people don’t end up in a predicament like I was in.”

.@mariahbcooley lost a friend and, later, a cousin to gun violence. Now she’s an activist with March For Our Lives, and she attended today's White House announcement of action on gun reform: “I'm ready to see change. I'm ready to see my people stop being killed.”

WATCH: Andrew Giuliani for NY governor? Apparently, says @mehdirhasan, Rudy’s boy “looked at scandal-ridden Governor Andrew Cuomo and decided that what the Empire State really needs... is another son named Andrew who hails from a politically connected family.”

'Veep' showrunner @DavidHMandel is working on a new Watergate series for HBO. How does he think Nixon and Trump compare? No contest: “There's a moment when even Nixon realized he had to resign,” he laughs. “That just doesn't exist for Trump.”

Multiple accusers say Va. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax sexually assaulted them; he likens his plight to those of George Floyd and Emmitt Till. “It's astonishing...I'm embarrassed for him,” @DeeTwoCents says, likening his line to Clarence Thomas’s 1991 claims of a “high-tech lynching.”

“You don't really know the price of war until you have to talk to one of your friend's widows,” says Rep. @RubenGallego, an Iraq vet. Too many pols approach war as an “amped-up game of Risk,” he says. “I'm not afraid of war, I'm afraid of unjust wars and really stupid wars.”

If the Iran nuclear deal is to be restored, “Legally and logically, the U.S. should reenter the agreement first,” says @Cirincione. “We’re the ones who broke it...But there are hardline opponents in both Tehran and Washington who are trying to put a stick in the spokes.”

Listen to the voicemail Matt Gaetz and Joel Greenberg left @AnnaForFlorida. “I just put it aside as another experience of being a woman in politics today,” she says, but amid new allegations against the men, “I felt compelled to find that voicemail and share it with the world.”

“4% of Americans believe both in the steal *and* that they would participate in a violent protest,” political scientist Robert Pape tells @MehdiRHasan. That’s about 10 million people ready for violence… and that’s why he says he’s “very, very concerned, and I am not alone.”

“Whose job is it to be the stewards of information, especially at the local level?” @BrandyZadrozny asks. “It used to be the job of local newspapers.” But in their absence, she tells @mehdirhasan, Facebook groups are filling the void...and boosting misinformation.

Amazon apologized to @RepMarkPocan after he called them out over workers urinating in water bottles on the job. “Apologize to your workers,” he says. “This is the exact case study of why you form a union...a company that’s tone deaf to how they’re treating their employees.”

.@FaizaPatelBCJ says a new domestic terror law is a wrongheaded, "highly political" way to combat right-wing extremism: “If this was the Trump administration, the first org. that would be designated as a domestic terror group would be Antifa or the Black Lives Matter movement.”

If you've forgotten what it looks like when 38,000 people cram together into one space, the people of Arlington, Texas, provided a reminder last night, selling out the Rangers’ home opener. @mehdirhasan asks: "What is wrong with these people?"
