A heartbreaking video shows an 8-year-old girl telling a reporter of the shooting near Nationals Stadium, “It was my second shooting, so I was kind of prepared.”
As @mehdirhasan puts it, “It doesn’t have to be this way.”

Cuba is posing a political dilemma for Dems. So what can they do about it? “The way to beat [Republicans] is to offer a real contrast,” @brhodes tells @MehdiRHasan. “Not because you support in any way the Communist party. Because you want to help the Cuban people.”

Is the embargo to blame for Cuba’s problems? Or the Castros & the regime? “The embargo and the regime are symbiotic,” @brhodes tells @MehdiRHasan “So this is totally absurd to suggest the only way to support the Cuban people is through a completely stifling embargo.”

After the assassination of Haiti’s President, some have called for the U.S. military to intervene. But we’ve been there before and, spoiler alert, it didn't turn out so great. Let @MehdiRHasan take you on a walk down memory lane:

It's UK “Freedom Day.” But why is Boris Johnson charging ahead with reopening, in defiance of scientific advice & common sense? “Certainly the science is not behind them on this. I find it just inexplicable, irresponsible, frightening,” @chrischirp tells @MehdiRHasan

The new bombshell book ‘An Ugly Truth’ exposes Facebook decision-making behind the scenes. @MehdiRHasan asks, would the company ever put their own bottom line above the good of the country? Tech reporter @cwarzel describes it as “an absolute failure of leadership from the top.”

Senate Dems have a new plan to pass immigration reform: include it as part of the budget reconciliation package. But what if the parliamentarian rules against that? Will Dems roll over and accept it? @SenAlexPadilla tells @MehdiRHasan “Everything is on the table.”

Isn’t bipartisan politics just a lost cause? “Clearly Trump is gone. He’s no longer in the White House. But Trumpism is still alive and well,” @SenAlexPadilla tells @MehdiRHasan “We’ve got to try, the difference is we can’t wait, wait, wait for Republicans to come around.”

In Texas, a judge ruled DACA unlawful. In D.C., Democrats' ability to pass immigration reform through reconciliation rests in the hands of the Senate parliamentarian. As @MehdiRHasan notes, that means the fate of 600,000+ people could be decided by two people nobody elected.

When it comes to the climate crisis, the two parties have… differing viewpoints.
@MichaelEMann: “If you care about the future of our climate, the future of our children, grandchildren, and having a livable planet, you’ve gotta vote for the Democratic Party.”

Wouldn’t it have been nice if all these officials who are now coming out against Trump said something when he was still in office?

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a member of an extremist group, uses xenophobia and nationalism to rally supporters, and scapegoated minorities for a spike in Covid.
Sound familiar?
