Mike Johnson announces the House will investigate the January 6th committee. Another round of headline-grabbing distractions, all designed to keep us from talking about what really matters—health insurance, taxes, and issues that actually affect people's lives. Typical Republican playbook.

Donald Trump has made it clear that he only believes in democracy when he wins. He is still an election denier. His supporters were poised to contest. They have only been quiet because he won. Paige and I discuss the dangerous implications for the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRYU...
