.@brhodes doesn’t see the military coup in Myanmar as an indictment of his work there in the Obama years. “We had an obligation to try here,” he says. He adds that Aung San Suu Kyi told him then: “If I push these guys harder, they'll have another coup.”

The Senate’s top Republican campaigner literally made up an award -- a participation trophy, if you will -- to give Donald Trump. @mehdirhasan puts it in perspective:

Local activists grilled the Brooklyn Center, Minn., police chief after an officer shot Daunte Wright, but “it’s not enough just to let activists in the press conference,” @Dr_CMGreer tells @mehdirhasan: “We need to know there are substantive changes from the top to the bottom.”

Police say an officer apparently shot Daunte Wright at a traffic stop by accident, meaning to use a taser instead. “It reminded me of Oscar Grant,” says @esglaude. “This is familiar in some ways...what was it about this traffic stop that warranted the use of excessive force?”

.@DavidJollyFL tells @MehdiRHasan the allegations against @mattgaetz are putting increased pressure on the GOP: “The presumption is that Matt Gaetz’s political career ends in resignation or indictment sometime in the near future.”

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) claims we have a “major under-incarceration problem in America.” Under-incarceration? @MehdiRHasan asks. Tell that to the more than 2.5 million kids in the U.S. that have a parent behind bars. Start the clock!

Pfizer says their vaccine provides protection for at least 6 months. But are booster shots on the way @MehdiRHasan asks? “While it’s highly likely that it will be effective for considerably longer,” Dr. Fauci explains, “we very well may need to get booster shots."

Last March, Dr Fauci said there was no reason to wear a face covering. Now he’s known for asking people to mask up. Fauci rejects criticism of his past advice, telling @MehdiRHasan, “if something changes…and you change with the data and rely on the data you’re not flip flopping”

Republican governors across the country continue to lift mask mandates despite a rise in COVID-19 cases. “Now is not the time to declare victory prematurely,” Dr. Fauci tells @MehdiRHasan, “we have not won this yet. We will win it, but we haven’t won it yet.”

This week, Michigan’s Governor asked for more vaccines to combat a surge and the White House declined. @MehdiRHasan asks Dr. Fauci about that decision. “When you take it away from one state,” Fauci explains, “you never know where you’re going to have another surge.”

.@farah_nabulsi’s film, ‘The Present,’ tells a story about life under Israeli occupation. It’s nominated for an Oscar. “I wanted to tell these human stories that are grossly underrepresented and misunderstood,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “I'm a Palestinian, and that's my identity.”

Should we delay 2nd Covid shots to get more people a 1st shot?
@Bob_Wachter: Yes. If "after one dose you can get people 80% protected...it's not even very much of a close call."
@angie_rasmussen: Maybe not. "My concern really is that by delaying...that 80% protection may wane."

Amazon may win this Alabama union vote, @FlyingWithSara says, but “this organizing campaign has sparked a movement across the country that cannot be stopped…whether it is this week, or it is next month, or it is later this year, there will be a union at Amazon.”
