Is America leading or following the global authoritarian trend? Are we the tail or the dog?
“The United States is the dog,” @TadHomerDixon tells @MehdiRHasan. “What happens in the United States just has extraordinary consequences for the rest of the world.”

It’s been more than 20 years since George W. Bush told American voters that he was a “uniter, not a divider.” In completely unrelated news, the GOP talking points offer a new word with which to attack President Biden.
Guess what it is?

If you’re a Democrat, Marco Rubio has a very specific idea of your morning routine. Caramel macchiato anyone?

Is it game over for American democracy?
@ChrisMurphyCT tells @mehdirhasan “The stakes are existential to the country” and it “doesn’t look great” now that Senators Manchin and Sinema won’t support changes to the filibuster to pass voting rights measures.

A violent insurrection couldn’t boot Trump out of office… but the British prime minister might lose his job over a garden party. Watch to see why PM Boris Johnson is in a hot cup of tea:

“I'll say this to the moderate voters and the swing voters out there who have January 6 fatigue... really evaluate the value of these [Republicans] and what they're actually bringing to the table, other than consistent lies.”

“It’s outrageous. I mean, we should be sending these tomorrow.”
Why isn’t the U.S. just giving its citizens free masks to combat Covid, like other countries do?
It’s mystifying to @RepRoKhanna, too.

While reporting on U.S. drone killings of civilians, @AzmatZahra found she was doing legwork the military hadn’t.
"You have to ask," she says: "How serious are [they] about accountability?"

Why is it the job of journalists and not the U.S. government to do a full accounting of civilians killed in its airstrikes abroad?

Ever heard of the Business Plot?
It’s the kind of historical anecdote that you rarely find in U.S. schoolbooks. And all too relevant these days in the wake of the Capitol insurrection.

Sen. Mitt Romney not only criticized President Biden today, he compared him to President Trump for “casting doubt on the reliability of American elections.”
“It’s kind of whataboutism,” says Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, “Except with the sweater turned inside-out.”
