Marjorie Taylor Green was low hanging fruit. She is just an illustration of our crisis: The House took a small step to fixing this by punishing Green. The Senate can take a big step, by convicting Donald Trump. This is not an impeachment trial to decide if President Trump incited a mob. This is a trial to judge whether we are okay having our leaders operate in a land of lies and bullshit

David Dayen explains the status of stimulus checks and why Biden and the Democrats are pushing to means-test the $1,400. “Politically, this is suicidal… The fact that there’s no economic case for it either is almost beside the point. The political case is just absolutely horrible.”

And later, Rep. Chris Rabb + Arun Chaudhary join the show to look at the pressure from within the Democratic party on Joe Biden to cancel student loan debt through executive order, and a conversation about the dire need for media literacy in the US.
