Journalist @BDUTT isn’t just reporting on India's Covid surge, she’s living it. Right now, her father is hospitalized and on a ventilator. As what’s happening to her happens to everyone, she tells @MehdiRHasan she’s “hoping for a miracle”, describing it as “the news coming home.”

As a journalist, @BDUTT has reported on wars, terrorist attacks & natural disasters, but India's Covid-19 surge is unlike anything she’s covered. She tells @MehdiRHasan how it is on the ground: “It is a calamity and a crisis of the kind that I have not seen in my adult life.”

Josh Hawley was the only senator to vote against the Hate Crimes Act this week. Then again, @MehdiRHasan says, “if I was the guy who was photographed supporting insurrectionists, I’d be worried about hate crime legislation getting passed as well.” Start the clock!

Senate Dems failed to include a $15 minimum wage in the last stimulus package, so where do things stand now? “We have not abandoned it,” Sen. Schumer promises @MehdiRHasan. “I’m all for the $15 minimum wage” & “we are working towards” passing that legislation.

With the election reform bill stalled, how long can Sen. Schumer afford to wait on reforming the filibuster? @SenSchumer tells @MehdiRHasan “August” is the probable deadline for the bill to undo some of the “frankly racist changes” to voting being made by GOP state legislatures.

Is Florida’s new GOP-driven “anti-riot” law about public safety or about “quelling public dissent?” That’s the question, says Politico’s @giuliaheyward. “We've already seen one civil rights lawyer in Orlando file a lawsuit against this bill.” And the fight may be just beginning:

Why prefer the Green New Deal to Biden’s climate-change plan? The GND is “much bigger,” @NewRepublic’s @KateAronoff says. Like FDR’s New Deal, the GND is a long-term plan for political change, and "that's different than what we've seen from the Biden administration."

Whatever your issue, “You're probably looking at Congress and saying, ‘Why aren't they doing anything about this?’” @edhelms tells @mehdirhasan. Helms says it’s political corruption, citing dark money in politics: “That's not for lapel pins and yard signs. That's for influence.”

How do coal-mining unions balance worker protections with saving the planet? “I don't think those two things are at odds with each other,” says the United Mine Workers’ @minervoice. “The climate is changing. We agree that something needs to happen and it needs to happen quickly.”

How does Nancy Pelosi biographer @SusanPage characterize the House Speaker’s Trump-era strategy? “She was mostly trying to prevent bad things from happening...it was a case of Democratic survival,” Page says. Still, she adds, Pelosi did impeach Trump -- “not once, but twice!”

Nancy Pelosi had “plans to retire” if Hillary Clinton had won the White House in 2016, says @SusanPage, author of a new Pelosi biography. Page adds that Democrats, and Pelosi, are ready for “a kind of generational change”: “I think this is her valedictory term.”
