The FBI and Department of Energy now believe COVID was the result of a lab leak in China. Republicans are now running with this, claiming a liberal media conspiracy and cover-up. Are they right? We’ll talk about what we know, who screwed up, and point out a few inconvenient facts for the GOP. Biden’s student loan relief has landed in front of the Supreme Court.

A seismic indictment in Georgia? The special grand jury foreperson is sharing snippets of information that make Trump and everyone in his orbit nervous. Then, internal Fox messages released in the $1.6 billion Dominion defamation case show the network’s hosts internally knew trump was lying despite continuing to spread those lies. Will Fox’s viewers finally realize the contempt the network has for them? Finally, President Joe Biden visited Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Ukraine. It should be a reason for all Americans to come together and applaud the president — but of course the right couldn’t even do that.
