“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

Some of the officers who defended the Capitol will watch tonight's hearing in person and will escort the widows of their fallen comrades into the room.

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"?

Actor and Uvalde native Matthew McConaughey made a powerful and emotional plea for gun reform at the White House. Some on the right had some pretty ridiculous responses:

“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?

Up on @MehdiHasanShow tonight ahead of the #January6thCommitteeHearings talking about how Democrats finally need to hit hard and call out the extremist GOP for becoming a radicalized and weaponized force against democracy and the majority. You have to name it and repeat it.
