Benjamin Netanyahu has long led a bizarre alliance between Christian Zionists and Israeli politicians — and his recent rhetoric is "old-fashioned colonialist" and "racist," @PeterBeinart says. “[It's] just a sign of how normalized anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab bigotry can be.”

Antisemitic tropes are on the rise, especially on the right. But it seems whenever a Republican is accused of antisemitism, their reply is, “I can’t be antisemitic, I love Israel!”
How does *that* work?
It doesn’t. And @mehdirhasan explains why:

When critics like @fshakir questioned Pres. Biden's push to make South Carolina the first Dem primary state, an anonymous Biden adviser accused them of sending Black voters to "the back of the bus."
@mehdirhasan asks former Biden aide @SymoneDSanders to react to that quote.

With Pres. Biden pushing to make South Carolina the first Dem primary state, some critics are wondering, "why not choose a place like Georgia instead?"

The 1/6 panel plans to issue criminal referrals soon, and @JillWineBanks expects Trump to be at the top of the list.
“It won’t be just for perjury or obstruction of Congress,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “We’re back to the Watergate era, of the coverup is worse than the crime.”

A Manhattan jury found the Trump Organization guilty on all charges in a sweeping tax fraud scheme. @mehdirhasan asks: “Am I wrong to wonder why on earth Trump wasn’t charged?”

The Trump Org was convicted of tax fraud, but its namesake, Donald Trump, has never been indicted w/ a crime despite years of legal trouble.
@mehdirhasan: “I can’t help but worry that after decades of evading consequences, Teflon Don will slip through the cracks once again.”

President Biden is pushing for South Carolina to take the lead in the 2024 presidential primary. And while the idea has been well-received by many in his party, it also has some critics.
@SymoneDSanders joins @mehdirhasan to discuss — watch their convo on @MSNBConPeacock.

This week, we finally saw accountability for the Trump Organization. But amid new developments in the classified documents and 1/6 probes, will Trump himself ever be held to account?

Israel's Netanyahu has mounted a political comeback, thanks to a courtship w/ so-called ‘Christian Zionists,’ and his comments are “a sign of how normalized anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab bigotry can be,” @PeterBeinart says.

We haven’t heard much about QAnon since Trump was in the White House, but the group is still alive and still dangerous. @mehdirhasan shows how it’s spreading beyond the realm of American politics. WATCH:

The Supreme Court is hearing a case that could upend federal elections. At the center of the case: the 'independent state legislature theory.'
“Calling it a theory is a little bit too generous,” @ProfMMurray tells @mehdirhasan. She explains why she calls it "fan fiction":

At the surface, Moore v. Harper is a gerrymandering case. But at its core, it's about state legislatures' power in federal elections.
And if SCOTUS accepts this bonkers reading of the Constitution, @mehdirhasan says, the consequences will be straightforward — and dangerous.

What's @SenWhitehouse's stance *now* on expanding SCOTUS?
“It’s not that I don’t think it’s the right remedy,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “Just like any good lawyer, we have work to do to convince the judge of the merits of our case ... And I think we have not done that work yet.”

SCOTUS is “not a conservative court, what it is is a captured court" @SenWhitehouse tells @mehdirhasan. "Very often…they actually break conservative judicial principles to get to the outcome that they want, which aligns perfectly w/ the interests of big Republican donor groups.”

If the GOP hadn’t run so many Trumpy candidates, Democrats would've had fewer wins in the midterms, @SenWhitehouse says.
He tells @mehdirhasan, “We need to examine what the baseline would look like for our party had the Republicans chosen less defective candidates.”

Sen. Raphael Warnock’s win in GA's Senate runoff gives Dems a 51-49 Senate majority — and the ability to confirm federal judges at a much faster pace.
But, @mehdirhasan says, let’s not forget how dark money has given the GOP—and their often-unqualified judges—a big head start.

SCOTUS heard oral arguments today in a case on voting rights. At the center of the argument: the once-fringe ‘independent state legislature theory.’
So, what was said and why does it matter? @ProfMMurray joins @mehdirhasan to help parse through it all. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock.
