Summary
A PowerPoint document that circulated among Trump administration officials outlining their plan to overthrow American democracy has been handed over to the January 6 Committee, followed by a muted response from the media and Democrats. Brian interviews EPA administrator Michael Regan about how he’s insulating the department from the possibility of another administration that’s hostile to its mission and whether the EPA is doing enough to combat climate change as we continue to feel its impacts. And National Correspondent for the Washington Post, Philip Bump, joins to discuss new COVID data now showing disproportionate impacts in Trump-voting counties.
