“The problem we face is the distance between genuine individual integrity—as shown by Rusty Bowers—and the nature of this broader force that no one, not even Donald Trump, controls. Because in the end, the whole is greater and worse than the sum of its parts,” says Chris Hayes.

Bill Barr Can’t Flee The Stench Of What He Did For Trump

Attorney General Bill Barr revealed many things at the Jan. 6 Committee hearing on Monday. See Also:   Pelosi defends not passing a bill, claims Supreme Court Justices aren't in any danger despite assassination attempt this week… But for me, the biggest impression his testimony left was the depths he reached in serving Trump. See Also:   Whoopi Goldberg says 'both sides' guilty of rhetoric like Schumer's against Kavanaugh, must 'be more careful' Barr narrated the period of time from Nov. 3, Election Day, until he departed on Dec. 23. Over those seven weeks, Barr recounted how Trump began to reach for wilder and wilder claims that might explain why he was not the loser in the election, but rather, the victim of mass electoral fraud.

How Republicans Screwed Themselves With The Jan. 6 Committee: A Retrospective

In his opening statement of the first public hearing, Jan. 6 committee chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) reminded listeners of the different, and likely more toothless, version of the panel he and his fellow Democrats were clamoring for around this time last summer. See Also:   Joy Reid accuses Republicans of thriving on 'demographic panic,' says GOP wants no one to feel 'safe' "My colleagues and I all wanted an outside, independent commission to investigate January 6th, similar to what we had after 9/11," he said. "But after first agreeing to the idea, Donald Trump's allies in Congress put a stop to it. Apparently, they don't want January 6th investigated at all." See Also:   Sara Haines asked Sen. Chris Murphy if the Republican Party is going further right during Tuesday's episode of "The View." It's a callback to a time when short-sighted Republicans saved Democrats from a version of the fact-finding effort that Trump'...

MBS Broke Us

Sometimes the biggest things happening in the world are happening out of view. Sometimes they're hidden but just as often they simply don't get the attention they should because they don't have traction as news stories. Or perhaps all the players have their own interests in not drawing attention to them. You may have noticed that Joe Biden is traveling to Saudi Arabia next month and that he plans to hold a summit with the  de facto  ruler of the country, Mohammed bin Salman — usually called MBS. He's going to Riyadh. MBS is not coming to Washington. This is presented as a full reset of relations between the two countries and — though this is stated less directly — a full reset with MBS. So all that human-rights, Yemen-war, Jamal-Khashoggi-being-dismembered-at-a-consulate-in-Istanbul stuff is done with. That was then. This is now.
