What to do about lawmakers who won’t protect voting rights?

Democrats were lining up to shake Dick Cheney's hand when the former VP accompanied his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney, on the House floor to mark one year after the Jan. 6 attack. @MehdiRHasan reminds you why the former VP should remain untouchable in this #minirant.

If journalism is the first draft of history, what then is right-wing media?
