Unending civil war, the rise of militias and gangs, the rise of ISIS, human traffickers, refugees and displaced people, slave markets, mass killings and torture, lost income. What makes Libya a model intervention?

Was Paris Hilton lobbying Congress on your 2021 bingo card?
“Good for Paris Hilton that she is willing to fight,” says @RoKhanna who is drafting legislation to reform abusive youth facilities, like the four different places the celebrity was taken to when she was a teen.

Brazil’s senate is recommending that the far-right President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, be charged with crimes against humanity for his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. We know of a certain ex-president who behaved similarly… and a government that’s done absolutely nothing.

What if the American democratic experiment was dying and on the day Republicans in the Senate drove nails into the coffin, “Joe Biden did basically nothing to stop” it from happening? It’s not hyperbole, explains @mehdirhasan in tonight’s opening monologue.

“That is the height of disrespect,” says @nseufot about a report the Biden White House responded to activists alarmed that the president isn’t doing enough on voting rights by saying that every constituency thinks their issue is life-and-death. WATCH:

The work strike “is a good thing for American labor and for collective bargaining.”

“Mr. Bannon’s and Mr. Trump’s privilege arguments do, however, appear to reveal one thing. They suggest that Pres. Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution of Jan 6. And this committee will get to the bottom of that.” — Rep. Liz Cheney, moments ago:

NEW: Jan. 6 Commission chairman Bennie Thompson announced the panel would hold Steve Bannon in contempt.
@harrylitman explains to Mehdi why what happens next is a bit uncertain: "He said he expected the DOJ to do its duty. But that's a little bit of a game of chicken."

This Louisiana trooper came forward to accuse his department of covering up how it handled a deadly arrest. Why break the blue wall of silence?
“There’s a culture here, a toxic culture. Systematic racism is the makeup of Louisiana State Police,” says Carl Cavalier.

Colin Powell’s legacy is as complicated as the country he served.
“We’ve seen a lot of people offering adoration toward Powell and ignoring some of the blots on his record,” says @speechboy71. “You can’t talk about his record of public service without discussing them.”

As an immigrant, how does @kumailn think Biden is handling immigration? He tells @mehdirhasan he’d like to see migrants treated more humanely, but “you don’t have a President who is actively espousing anti-immigration rhetoric. That is actually a massive improvement.”

A TX school district made headlines after teachers were told to counter Holocaust books with 'opposing' views. @MehdiRHasan points out that while the anti-CRT bill that inspired this training may not have been designed with the Holocaust in mind, it's no surprise we ended up here

Trump is facing a long list of legal woes. So should he be going around suing people like his Niece, Mary Trump, or should he be being a bit more defensive?
“I would be telling him to lay low, stay on the golf course,” Mary Trump’s attorney @BoutrousTed tells @mehdirhasan
