Do calls to defund the police demoralize departments, and contribute to rises in crime?
@RobBonta: “The demoralization is real, and we need to continue the efforts to reform to make us safer, to make us fairer, to improve our systems."
Kevin McCarthy suggested Democrats are in cahoots with China because he’s having a hard time forming a task force to investigate the origin of Covid-19.
(This is the same guy who joked about Trump being in Russia’s back pocket.)
.@MsPackyetti, who used to teach 3rd grade, *never once* taught or was asked to teach critical race theory.
“The idea that critical race theory is being taught is a bold faced lie.”
.@MehdiRHasan: Do you think there’s the prospect for more violence (like the Civil War) in our future?
@BeschlossDC: “I’m afraid that I would say yes, & I am afraid that there are historical precedents for that.”
How did we get here? How did the divide in DC get so bad? “Conservative Republicans see the nation slipping away from their grip,” @BeschlossDC tells @mehdirhasan. “We’re beginning to see that the fading white majority” will lie & claim fraud to hold on to power.
What really grinds @mehdirhasan’s gears 😒? In this case, it’s not talking during a movie or loud chewing. Nope, it’s a 6-word phrase used in TONS of political arguments.
If this were a certain right-wing network, @mehdirhasan would’ve introduced these guests as “concerned parent @MsPackyetti” and “little league coach @MollyJongFast.”
Good thing we’re not!

Critics say policing in America cannot be reformed.
NY and LA's former top cop, Bill Bratton, tells @mehdirhasan that's not fair to the good cops on the force.
It’s been a long, strange Democratic primary to run New York, the nation’s largest city. And as @MehdiRHasan explains, for no one has it been weirder than for the frontrunner in the race, Eric Adams:
Tonight, Senate Republicans blocked a major voting rights bill from moving forward in a 50-50 party-line vote, which was not enough to overcome a filibuster. So it’s not just the GOP who’s at fault:
BREAKING: NBC News source says Speaker Pelosi has told Dem. colleagues she will create a new committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Whoever it may be, NYC’s new mayor will grapple with both a rise in crime and questions over police brutality.
