Listen Later

This week we're looking at a week defined mostly by moments of political theater:

  1. The Senate is expected to take up a formal vote on new voting rights legislation tomorrow which Republicans plan to block.
  2. The January 6th House Investigation is getting great coverage but moving at a glacial pace as Trump is working to block the committee on multiple fronts.
  3. Fights over majority minority district maps moving forward with lots of uncertainty and conflict brewing over more contentious districts.
  4. And finally, as we continue to see the historic worker shortage driven by the combination of pandemic responses and outrage over economic inequality, labor unions have been flexing their muscles.
