When CEO @DanPriceSeattle lowered his salary so he could pay all his workers at least $70K a year, he got a lot of headlines. “I think it just shows how low the bar is,” he jokes. But the policy has had real positive impacts on his workers. He explains how to @mehdirhasan:

The family of Andrew Brown wants body-cam video of his shooting by police to be released. So does the sheriff. Mehdi asks: Are there any good reasons not to release the footage?
“Quite frankly, no,” says @CkHoffler.
“For there to be a delay,” she adds, “is really inexcusable.”

The CDC now says you can *generally* go without a mask outdoors. That’s a good thing, @BhadeliaMD says: “It draws that differentiation between the very low risk of transmission on the outside and that continued high risk on the [indoor] side.”

“There is a handful of Democratic senators who believe the filibuster promotes bipartisanship and compromise,” @ChrisMurphyCT tells @mehdirhasan. “So let's take the next several months to see if that theory proves itself out.”

“We have all known for a long time that there’s really only 2 paths forward for Israel,” @ChrisMurphyCT tells @mehdirhasan.

If you really want peace in Yemen, @ChrisMurphyCT tells @mehdirhasan, “We have to get back into the Iran nuclear agreement. Let's be honest: As long as we’re engaged in a maximum pressure campaign, Iran is going to use Yemen as a way to provoke the U.S. and our allies.”

Did you hear about Rick Santorum’s awful comment about Native Americans?
“I shouldn't have to point out how ignorant and ugly that comment is,” says @mehdirhasan, “but humor me for a moment.”

Why does Kyrsten Sinema love the filibuster so much? In the past, @AJentleson says, defending the filibuster "would earn lots of plaudits from the Beltway crowd," but Sinema's approval rating is dipping now: "I don't think that was her plan...a shift is gonna have to come here."

“We are poised to head into May with actually zero Republican filibusters so far,” says @AJentleson. But the GOP won’t budge on key issues like guns, climate and civil rights. “That business has to start very soon,” which means “some kind of filibuster reform has to happen.”

AZ Republicans are recounting 1.2M votes from 2020, behind closed doors, using a contractor run by a "Stop the Steal" backer. "This is the Republicans in the Legislature trying to pander," says Secy. of State @katiehobbs. "They're clearly just making this up as they go along."

Will President Biden demand that vaccine makers waive their intellectual property so more producers can get shots to countries that need it most?
“They must,” @RoKhanna tells @mehdirhasan. “The argument is so simple. Pfizer will still get paid! Moderna will still get paid!”

“We are right now in the worst days of the global pandemic,” says @ashishkjha. @RoKhanna adds that "over 100 countries around the world don’t have access to the vaccine.” The least vaccine makers can do, he says, “is license their vaccine recipe to the rest of the world.”

.@mehdirhasan has a personal stake in stemming the Covid pandemic in India as it ravages friends and family. “There's a moral reason for helping the Indias and Brazils of this world,” he adds, “but there's also self interest. We cannot defeat the coronavirus in isolation.” Watch:
