Instead of hawking false election theories, former President Trump could be using his MAGA megaphone to push his followers to get vaccinated, says @swin24. But "he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't want to do Joe Biden any favors, and he doesn't think his fans really want it":

Democrats control Congress and the White House, but can’t find the power to extend the nation’s eviction moratorium?
“This entire saga,” Mehdi explains, “is a perfect illustration of how broken our national government and political system is”:

Maybe you’ve heard the baseless rumor that Donald Trump will be “reinstated” as president this month... but did you know about your role (and the Supreme Court’s) in this zany theory?

Wait… *what* did Donald Trump call the Capitol Police who were injured on 1/6?!
@swin24 dishes on that, and Trump’s one surprising regret from his last weeks in office:

Je suis hypocrite?
French elites were quick to defend anti-Islamic cartoons as free speech…but now that criticism of President Emmanuel Macron is grounds for getting sued, where are those free-speech elites?

Should Dems who are holding up extending the eviction moratorium be named and shamed?
@MondaireJones suggests holding a House floor vote because “I think people would be hard-pressed to explain to their constituents why they did not act when given the opportunity.”

Millions of Americans could lose their homes after the federal Covid moratorium lapsed last weekend. The White House says it doesn’t have the authority to extend the moratorium.
"Yeah," @MondaireJones tells Mehdi, "that's nonsense."

Top Dems have called on Pres. Biden to extend the eviction moratorium, but he didn’t quite go there. So has he done enough?
@MondaireJones weighs in.

Was it a mistake for the CDC to tell vaccinated Americans it was ok to unmask back in May? @angie_rasmussen tells @MehdiRHasan: “I do think it was a mistake … It was a one-size-fits-all for the country and the country is in very different places.”

Notorious anti-vaxxer Sen. Ron Johnson says he could never get behind a vaccine mandate unless there’s “some incredibly deadly disease.” I’m sorry, WHAT? @MehdiHasan says Covid deniers in the GOP “are not a pro-life party, they are a pro death party.”

Rep. @IlhanMN has been subjected to constant death threats. Rep. Omar tells @MehdiRHasan she deals with it by not wanting to let the “fringe communities in this country who don’t understand what it means to actually be an American” win.

The Fraternal Order of Police spent Summer 2020 denouncing racial justice protests as "anti-police,” but showed little support for the officers targeted on Jan. 6. In this #minirant, @MehdiRHasan says their actions prove ‘Blue Lives Matter’ was never actually about blue lives.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy is under fire tonight for his “joking” comments about hitting Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a gavel. “He should be ashamed,” @Ilhan tells @MehdiRHasan, “His resignation should be called for by every single member of Congress.”

Some GOP members are using migrants as a scapegoat for the new Covid surge. As @mehdirhasan points out, it’s not the first time Republicans have turned to xenophobia:

“There are aspects of this work that we do need to do separately among ourselves.”
Author Robin DiAngelo talks to @mehdirhasan about a type of diversity training that calls for people in workshops to separate into different ‘affinity groups,’ sometimes by race.

‘White Fragility’ author Robin DiAngelo answers criticism that says, in her view of the world, we are locked into our racial groups.
She tells @mehdirhasan that “We could use much more awareness of the reality of our racial positions.”
