The January 6th committee will soon gavel in a hearing that, as of this time yesterday, hadn’t even been announced.
The panel said there wouldn’t be another hearing until July. So, @mehdirhasan asks, what could possibly be bringing them back to D.C. on such short notice?

In today's 1/6 hearing, we'll hear from Cassidy Hutchinson, an ex-aide to WH chief of staff Mark Meadows. What info might Hutchinson have to share, and how damning could it be?
Tune in at noon to hear @JillWineBanks, @kurtbardella and @Dr_CMGreer discuss with @mehdirhasan.

Michelle Colón, who runs a reproductive rights org in Mississippi, says the day the Roe ruling was issued, she talked to dozens of pregnant people who were "frightened," "terrified" and "confused."
“And that’s just the tip of the iceberg," she tells @mehdirhasan. Watch:

Dems have won the popular vote in nearly every presidential race this century, yet there are only 3 liberal Supreme Court justices.
There are a number of reasons the court has a legitimacy crisis. Give @mehdirhasan 60 seconds to explain why:

In a viral Twitter thread, @AOC called for measures like expanding the Supreme Court. @JasmineForUS says she “absolutely agree[s].”
SCOTUS's right-wing justices “want to send us back to a time that many of us don’t know,” she says. We "absolutely need to be just as aggressive."

After the fall of Roe v. Wade, Democrats are hoping blue voters get fired up in a way that might actually turn things around for them this November.
But there’s one major issue: When it comes to abortion, what’s the Democrats’ plan? 🤷♂️

With Roe overturned, Clarence Thomas suggests the rights to same-sex marriage & more should be revisited. He left 1 case out: the ruling on interracial marriage (like his own).
@ElieNYC says, “Republicans are coming for Loving whether [he] wants to acknowledge it or not."

Why don’t we hear more messages from Dems on court reform? There's still debate on expanding the Supreme Court, @adrienneelrod says.
But after Roe’s overturning and other recent rulings, she adds, "a lot of people in the Democratic Party are saying it is time to do this now."

SCOTUS sided with a high school football coach in a First Amendment case on prayer in public schools. But it's not just the blurring of church and state that's an issue, @Dahlialithwick says: “So is the notion of truth."

The overturning of Roe v. Wade will be top of mind for many Dem voters this November, and polling suggests the ruling could boost Democratic turnout.
But what will those people actually be voting for? @JasmineForUS joins @mehdirhasan tonight to answer that Q and more.

If the Supreme Court's recent rulings show us one thing, @mehdirhasan says, it's that the system is very, very broken — and it's time that Democrats fix it.
How do they do that? @adrienneelrod, @ElieNYC and @Dahlialithwick weigh in tonight. Be sure to watch on. @MSNBConPeacock!

Justice Thomas suggested that SCOTUS should revisit other rights based on privacy, like contraception and same-sex marriage. But he left out another right: interracial marriage.

TX Rep. Henry Cuellar, who narrowly defeated progressive challenger @JCisnerosTX in a runoff, is the only anti-abortion House Democrat.
Voters are being told to protect their reproductive rights by voting blue, Mehdi says — yet top Dems backed Cuellar. youtube.com/watch?v=OHUCmYFV…
