Trust is what binds us together. Distrust is what tears us apart. We need reform to rebuild trust in our political institutions and each other.

During the attack, McCarthy told Trump the rioters were his supporters. Trump replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." McCarthy replied, "who the f*** do you think you are talking to?" (h/t @jamiegangel) https://t.co/KsKSMszbTz

The teacher learns more than the student.

The author learns more than the reader.

The speaker learns more than the attendee.

The way to learn is by doing.

Biden's Covid blueprint beefs up protections for workers, many in meatpacking plants in rural areas.

His use of Defense Production Act will employ industrial policy to channel resources to non-metro areas in a way conservative populists want.

Unifying!

This is the push to expand the number of House Congressional districts, which used to happen every once in awhile as states were added & the population grew but has been stuck at 438 for decades for no good reason.

Doing so would also dramatically weaken the Electoral College.

Toomey (R-Pa.) not mincing words, going after Hawley and Cruz by name:

“They fail to acknowledge that these allegations have been adjudicated in courtrooms across America and were found to be unsupported by evidence.”

[Andrew Prokop @awprokop]

Pair w/ @SenSasse quote: "When we talk in private, I haven’t heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent – not one. Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will “look” to President Trump’s most ardent supporters."

Here's how the Missouri House delegation voted on the $2,000 checks.

@RepSamGraves @USRepLong @RepBlaine @RepHartzler all opposed the call from the President.

Especially notable is Rep. Hartzler's opposition, especially since her company has accepted $450,000+ in relief.

This started with a 20 yo healthy white male testing (-) to see his family.

Infected 3 "family" members land in the lungs of a 60+ yo Black woman who is now hospitalized on oxygen and steroids.

This is living room spread.

And it has to stop.
