Bipartisan gun reform talks have already nixed top Dem items. This compromise is "Dems admitting they cannot get what they need to get done,” @cameron_kasky tells @mehdirhasan. This gives “our politicians a free pass to say they did something when they’re not doing anything.”

“If our babies are getting slaughtered in the hallways of our schools, the Republican Party doesn’t want to do anything and the Democratic Party refuses to abolish the filibuster," @cameron_kasky says, he envisions "being a talking head on TV...until my kids have to be afraid.”

Fourth graders like Uvalde survivor Miah Cerrillo shouldn’t have to tell Congress about playing dead to make it out alive. Teens like Parkland survivor Cameron Kasky shouldn’t have to confront GOP senators on gun reform.
How many more school massacres until we say "enough"?

“Democrats refuse to boldly confront Republicans when it comes to stripping women of abortion rights, or restricting voting rights, or neglecting climate change,” @mehdirhasan says. “They’re still yearning for a bipartisan golden age that no longer exists — if it ever did.”

Fox won’t air the 1/6 hearings live, sticking to regular programming from its prime time hosts. Mehdi asks @hugolowell: What are they afraid of?
“It’s quite clear they don’t want that out on their networks so their audiences will know what they were up to during the attack.”

“There’s going to be all sorts of repetitional sanitation efforts that we will see playing out over the next couple of weeks,” @woodruffbets says. “The reality is that people left the Trump administration shortly after Trump lost the election because they realized…that he lost.”

The 1/6 committee has worked for nearly a year to investigate the deadly insurrection. But as the panel prepares to share its findings with the public, @mehdirhasan asks: What does it hope to get from these historic hearings, and can this TV event spur actual change?

School shooting survivors continue to have to become advocates for gun reform. Why has this burden fallen on the survivors of these tragedies?

.@cameron_kasky says a bipartisan bill without gun reforms like universal background checks isn't good enough: “They can’t even get that done? No, I do not think that any change we can get is worth it.”

Fourth grader Miah Cerrillo's testimony is heartbreaking & awe-inspiring, and it highlights that these children shouldn’t have to become advocates for change.
Parkland survivor & “March for Our Lives” co-founder @cameron_kasky joins Mehdi tonight for this important conversation
In pre-recorded testimony, 11-year-old Uvalde school shooting survivor Miah Cerrillo details how the gunman killed her teacher and classmates, and how she played dead by covering herself in her classmate's blood.

More than a year after the attack on the Capitol, a narrow majority of Americans still support a Jan. 6 criminal charge against Donald Trump. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

Despite Dems’ items having already been ruled out of bipartisan gun reform talks, @SenatorBaldwin says there's still value in a bill: “If we can take some solid steps…not only do we make progress, but we also boost confidence that we could take further steps along the way.”

“There have been far more attempts to gain illegal access,” @JocelynBenson says, “Than there have been successful efforts to gain that access,” about Michigan’s widening probe into voting system breaches by Trump allies.

Right-wing media figures and Republican officials have condemned America’s teachers as “untrustworthy” and “incompetent.” So why then, @mehdirhasan asks, in the wake of the Uvalde shooting, do they want to arm those same teachers to protect students? Roll the tape:

"Is passing any bill at all, just to say you did, really the best way to go when it comes to tackling this very real, life and death problem?" asks @mehdirhasan, as negotiators reveal top Democrats' items have already been nixed from the bipartisan Senate talks on gun reform.

Conservatives have mercilessly criticized educators as “untrustworthy” and “incompetent” over critical race theory, banned books & more. But after the Uvalde massacre, the right now wants to arm teachers — giving them the burden of protecting students.
So which is it, GOP?

A new poll says many Republicans and Democrats think the U.S. is in an economic recession — despite the fact that “We’re not even close to that,” @mehdirhasan says.
So how is the economy actually doing? @RBReich helps to breaks things down:
