.@RepSwalwell says he's not concerned about President Biden's age going into 2024. "He's 80... but you know what number is higher than 80? 91. 91 charges over 4 indictments and that's a lot more concerning to me than the president's age."
Tonight, I’ll be discussing all things shutdown and impeachment related with Democratic Congressman @ericswalwell, who’ll be on set with me in DC, live from 8pm ET on @MSNBC

Critics say Twitter worked too closely with the U.S. government on election integrity efforts in 2020.
But one of the site's top executives at the time, @yoyoel, tells @mehdirhasan “there was mutual weariness in that relationship.”
“Challenge accepted.”
Elon Musk has claimed that hate speech isn’t a problem on X, formerly known as Twitter, because a reporter was once unable to provide him with a single example. @mehdirhasan is happy to oblige, detailing countless examples of hate that remain on the site.

.@MaxwellFrostFL on the looming government shutdown and Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy:
“We have a speaker of the House who isn’t focused on the daily on how to help people, he’s focused on the daily on how to keep his job. And that’s just no way to govern.”
Donald Trump is trying to paint himself as a moderate when it comes to abortion ahead of the 2024 election. Too bad for him that we have the receipts to remind you of his extremist record.
Roll the tape!

.@MehdiRHasan: "The GOP cult is willing to deliberately inflict financial pain on ordinary Americans because, one, they have a useless leader in Congress and, two, their de facto party leader, the real boss of the GOP, is on trial for multiple crimes and is having a tantrum."
"It wasn't just Republican lawmakers who risked arthritis with their furious pearl-clutching," @MehdiRHasan breaks down the conservative ecosystem meltdown over the new Senate dress code. WATCH:
