The Saga of Congress’s Jan. 6 Investigation: This episode contains strong language. The first hearing of the special congressional committee on the Jan. 6 riots was an emotional affair, but it was not quite the investigation that was originally envisaged. In January, lawmakers on both sides spoke of putting aside partisanship and organizing an investigation akin to the 9/11 commission, considered the gold standard of nonpartisan fact-finding. Why did the commission fail and what is taking place instead? Guest: Luke Broadwater, a congressional reporter for The New York Times. by The Daily

The Story of Kyrsten Sinema: As congressional Democrats dramatically scale back the most ambitious social spending bill since the 1960s, they’re placing much of the blame on moderates who have demanded changes. One senator, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, has played an outsized role in shaping the bill — but has remained quiet about why. Today, we explore what brought her to this moment. Guest: Reid J. Epstein, who covers campaigns and elections for The New York Times. by The Daily

A Rough Election Night for the Democrats: On a major night of elections across the United States on Tuesday, the Republican Glenn Youngkin claimed an unexpected victory over his Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe, to win the governor’s race in Virginia. As the night went on, it became clear that the contest in Virginia was not a singular event — Republicans were doing well in several unlikely places. What do the results tell us about the current direction of American politics? Guest: Alexander Burns, a national political correspondent for The New York Times. by The Daily

A Threat to China’s Economy: Every once in a while a company grows so big and messy that governments fear what would happen to the broader economy if it were to fail. In China, Evergrande, a sprawling real estate developer, is that company. Evergrande has the distinction of being the world’s most debt-saddled property developer and has been on life support for months. A steady drumbeat of bad news in recent weeks has accelerated what many experts warn is inevitable: failure. But will the government let the company fail? And what would happen if it did? Guest: Alexandra Stevenson, a business correspondent based in Hong Kong covering Chinese corporate giants. by The Daily

Has Manchin Doomed the Build Back Better Plan?: Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia was always going to be the last Democrat to get on board with President Biden’s $2.2 trillion climate, social spending and tax bill. But the White House was confident that a compromise could be reached. On Sunday, that confidence was shattered: In an interview on Fox News, Mr. Manchin essentially declared that he could not support the bill as written, and he indicated that he was done negotiating all together. Where does this leave Mr. Biden’s signature domestic policy goal? Guest: Emily Cochrane, a correspondent for The New York Times, based in Washington. by The Daily

Why Mexico Is Suing U.S. Gunmakers: For years, Mexico has been gripped by horrific violence as drug cartels battle each other and kill civilians. In the last 15 years alone, homicides have tripled. The violence, the Mexican government says, is fueled, in part, by American guns. Now Mexico is bringing a lawsuit against 10 gun manufacturers in a U.S. federal court, accusing them of knowingly facilitating the sale of guns to drug cartels in the country. How did the situation get to this point, and what arguments are being mounted by the Mexican government? Guest: Natalie Kitroeff, a correspondent covering Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean for The New York Times. by The Daily

Inflation Lessons From the 1970s: With prices on the rise in the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce on Wednesday an increase in interest rates, essentially pouring a cold glass of water on the economy. Why would the central bank do that? The answer lies in the inflation crisis of the 1970s, when a failure to react quickly enough still looms large in the memory.
