Stephan, Will, and Shasti discuss the GOP Senate's bad-faith actions in blocking a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th insurrection on our nation's Capitol, and why the Democrats seem to keep falling into the same trap.

Then, in the second half, Stephan and Shasti chat with Danielle Garbe Reser, co-chair of the Washington State Democrats Rural Committee, and the 5th Congressional District representative to the Washington Democrats Executive Board, about how GOP Congressional outliers Jaime Herrera-Beutler (WA-03) and Dan Newhouse (WA-04) are being perceived by Republicans in Eastern Washington.
