Summary
Maria and Julio talk about what’s happening with President Biden’s spending bill and the issues within the Democratic Party. They also discuss the upcoming trial of Kyle Rittenhouse and the ongoing investigation into the January 6 Capitol insurrection. ITT Staff Picks: - As negotiations on Biden’s Build Back Better plan continue, reporters Amanda Becker and Candice Norwood write about how the fate of paid leave is still unclear, for The 19th News. - “Rittenhouse is the very definition of an “outside agitator” who came into somebody else’s community armed to do violence, but because he murdered-while-white, he will probably walk free,” writes Elie Mystal in this piece for The Nation. - In this exclusive for Rolling Stone, reporter Hunter Walker writes about how congressional members and staffers were involved in the Jan. 6 organizing.
