The midterm elections are coming up and that can only mean one thing: it's time for another migrant caravan for Fox to fearmonger about.
Roll the tape!

Fox News has refused to cover the January 6th hearings. It completes Roger Ailes' decades-long mission to create a right-wing network, so no other Republican president would suffer Richard Nixon's fate. @MehdiRHasan breaks down how Ailes and Fox brought us to this moment.

Is incremental change on federal gun reform enough? Activist @shannonrwatts tells @MehdiRHasan that she thinks it “gets Republicans on the right side of this issue along with Democrats.”

Does a weak bipartisan deal effectively give Republicans an out on meaningful gun legislation?
“Fortunately, Democrats are the responsible party,” @RepRubenGallego tells @MehdiRHasan. “We’re not going to just walk away from doing something…just for a partisan attack point.”

If you feel like Trump and other insurrectionists aren't any closer to being held accountable for their actions on Jan. 6 than they were the night of the attack, you're not alone. @RepRubenGallego asks @MehdiRHasan: “Where is our Department of Justice?”

Is the high road leading Democrats nowhere? With less than 5 months until midterms, @MehdiRHasan asks, is it finally time for them to drop the usual restraint and go after extremist Republicans?

“How much more compelling evidence can you get that Donald Trump was told repeatedly he had lost the election?” @KatiePhang asks after the first 1/6 hearing. “He basically compelled people to come to the Capitol on Jan. 6 to be able to give him a victory he knew he never got.”

"We take our oath to defend the U.S. Constitution. And that oath must mean something. Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible – there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain." — Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY)

In video aired during the first 1/6 hearing, former Attorney General Bill Barr says in discussions with former President Trump after the 2020 election, “I made it clear I did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen … which, I told the president, was bullsh*t."

“Those who invaded our Capitol...were motivated by what President Trump had told them: that the election was stolen and that he was the rightful president," 1/6 panel vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney says. "Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.”

Sandra Garza, the longtime partner of fallen Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, says the 17 months since 1/6 have been “torturous.”
“We want to see justice,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “I’m hoping and praying that Merrick Garland is listening…we still continue to hurt.”

As much as the Jan. 6 hearings have been pumped up, they're not the end of the investigation, @KatiePhang says... and she tells @mehdirhasan why she thinks Fox News viewers will tune in, even if their preferred channel isn't carrying the events live.

The Jan. 6 hearings will hopefully bring accountability for the attack on the U.S. Capitol and those behind it, @mehdirhasan says.
But the 1/6 panel must do more than retell the story of the insurrection, he adds — it must show the danger to our democracy didn’t end that day.

While many Dems in Washington are talking about the January 6 hearings, we shouldn’t expect to hear much from the president.
Why does Biden want to leave 1/6 messaging to Capitol Hill? @SymoneSanders46 joins Mehdi to tackle that Q and more — stream their convo on @MSNBConPeacock
