Any comment by a U.S. politician that Israel is a racist or apartheid state has resulted in outrage and accusations of antisemitism. But next time they take a vote on the issue, @MehdiRHasan advises they listen to Israeli ministers, who “keep saying the quiet part out loud.”

"I'm not going to take any of these polls as gospel, that said I do think that DeSantis has shown himself to be an untalented politician & I think he goes the way of Scott Walker."
@MollyJongFast on new polling that's bad news for anyone in the GOP primary not named Trump.

.@judgecordell isn’t surprised by the GOP’s anti-democratic attacks on the judiciary. She tells @MehdiRHasan what we’re witnessing is “Reconstruction Redux.”

Fox once warned of a "constitutional crisis" if Hillary Clinton was elected president while under criminal investigation. But now that Donald Trump is running in 2024 amid multiple indictments and trials, they're singing quite a different tune.
Roll the tape!

A message to Republicans from @mehdirhasan:
Stop trying to make “BOMB MEXICO” happen.
It isn’t going to happen.
Or, at least, it *shouldn’t* happen.
For everyone else, here’s a primer on why it *might*: youtube.com/k8ZSx0h-dWE

“I cannot think of a more un-Christian politician or person,” @mehdirhasan says. So why do American evangelicals keep voting for him?
“There’s a siege mentality… a lack of confidence,” says @drmoore. “Looking for a fighter is something that fallen human nature often pursues.”

Republicans are using America’s fentanyl crisis to push for U.S. military action in Mexico against drug labs and cartels.
But Mexico’s former U.S. ambassador @Martha_Barcena tells @mehdirhasan this latest talking point is built on the GOP’s “biggest lies” about Mexico.

On Tuesday, the Biden Administration will reveal the first ten drugs selected for Medicare price negotiations – the first time that’s ever happened. It’s a move that could save taxpayers $100B.
To paraphrase the president, @mehdirhasan says, that’s a B-F-D.
