.@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.”
