Is cancel culture something that @JuddApatow worries about? “Generally, I believe … you can say whatever you want, you just have to mean it.”

Biden says the U.S. would be willing to defend Taiwan with force, breaking with his own White House. But as he leans in a more hawkish direction, Ukraine’s president, 5,000 miles away, seems to be feeling more dovish than some of his colleagues.

.@StaceyPlaskett calls out her GOP colleagues for espousing the same white supremacist theories embraced by the alleged Buffalo shooter: "They are the ones who are inciting this, they are giving it life, and individuals like Kevin McCarthy are not stopping them.”

.@StaceyPlaskett says despite complaining about issues like inflation, Republicans in Congress aren’t taking action to fix problems:
"They are complaining, but they do not care. They just want to rouse people because they do not have a solution. Their only objective is power.”

The midterm-election signs look ominous for Democrats. But could June’s televised 1/6 hearings shift public opinion?
If not, and Kevin McCarthy becomes House speaker, @mehdirhasan says this could be the last word out of Congress on the insurrection — or, at least, against it.

Filmmaker @JuddApatow tells @MehdiRHasan why George Carlin's political commentary continues to resonate today. "He was certainly liberal, but he felt a lot of the levers were being controlled by people who didn't have our best interests at heart."

“Collegiality is a very strong sentiment among people in public office … stronger than partisanship, and sometimes it becomes detrimental to the reality of what we face as a country,” says @JulianCastro. “They need to call these folks out for not disavowing white supremacy.”

House Republicans voted against a bill to give money to the FDA to help tackle the baby formula shortage. So what other common sense - and often very popular - bills have they opposed? @MehdiRHasan did the research in tonight’s #minirant. Start the clock!

NEWS FLASH: Liberals pointing out and welcoming that America is becoming more diverse is not the same thing as pushing the racist ‘great replacement’ theory. As @MehdiRHasan makes clear, there’s no “very fine people on both sides” here:

"It is astounding that House Republicans...have just telegraphed to the country that they do not care about using every single legislative lever at their disposal," @mehdirhasan says, so "fellow Americans can stop worrying about how they are going to feed their infant children."
Coming from the political party in this country that claims to be obsessed with the wellbeing of babies, this is on a whole other level.
The Republican obsession with being pro-life apparently ends when the baby is born.
