This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a short rant about how observers tend to ignore the death toll that has resulted from the proliferation of right-wing conspiracy theories. 

Then we're joined by The Washington Post's Paul Waldman to talk about the Republican civil wars growing in intensity--and how the party's disarray may constrain its ability to leverage its control of the House to advance its agenda. 

And then Erin Reed, who writes the Erin in the Morning newsletter, offers us a bird's eye view of the dozens of bills Republican legislatures across the country are considering to target transgender people--and their families and support networks--in ways that should shock you.
