On today's 'BradCast': House Republicans succeeded in their second try in launching their baseless revenge impeachment of DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, despite no evidence of any wrongdoing. The slim GOP House majority lost another seat after Democrat Tom Suozzi won Tuesday's special election in New York to replace disgraced, expelled and indicted Rep. George Santos (R). Wisconsin voters will finally get new, fairer state legislative maps, as ordered by the state's Supreme Court. In a Michigan court room, a 2020 fake elector testified that Republican party officials lied to him about the legality of the scheme. Investigative journalist JOSH KOVENSKY of Talking Points Memo explains a trove of new documents from former Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who invented the fake electors scheme in the first place, that reveal surprising new details on the broad extent of the multi-state 'legal coup' attempt, and how it almost succeeded in stealing the 2020 election and overthrowing the US government.  Also today: another mass shooting, this time at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory parade.
