Speaker Pelosi isn’t on board with Sen. Schumer’s push to cancel student debt because she doesn’t believe people should have to pay for something they don’t use. Then how, @mehdirhasan asks, can the top Dem in the House support any social programs at all?

President Biden’s expansion of the social safety net — an expansion that hasn’t been seen in half a century — has spurred a record drop in poverty. That’s the good news. The bad news, as @mehdirhasan points out, is that those changes could all simply evaporate:

.@JulianCastro worries about the impact of GOP members blaming immigrants for the new spike in Covid.

Instead of addressing constituents who won’t mask up or get vaccinated, some Republicans are opting to focus on... immigrants?

The U.S. is estimated to have killed up to 2,200 civilians in drone warfare against militant targets. “In most cases, the government is not killing the people it suspects it's killing,” @attackerman tells @mehdirhasan. “And may not know who it is killing at all."

Over the past year-and-a-half, the CDC has gone back and forth on its guidelines for mask use in fighting Covid-19
@ASlavitt and @mehdirhasan have some… differing opinions on the org’s shifting recommendations.

Vaccines and masks aren’t an either/or situation, because they *both* offer protection from Covid.
@ASlavitt likens it to “you wear a raincoat even if you’re carrying an umbrella.”

On January 6, Kevin McCarthy reportedly begged then-Pres. Trump to call off the rioters. Now he’s doing all he can to keep the committee investigating the insurrection from finding out what happened that day. @sethmoulton tells @MehdiRHasan wants to hear from McCarthy directly:
