Harvard’s Kennedy School refused to hire human rights expert @KenRoth because of his criticisms of Israel. And if the school can censor him, @mehdirhasan asks, is there hope for anyone else?
“If they can do this to me, imagine what they can do to lesser figures," Roth says.

Right-wing media have wasted no time using Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s collapse to push anti-vaccine disinformation.

Bolsonaro’s “Trump of the Tropics” moniker took on a whole new meaning today after a mob of his far-right supporters stormed through Brazil’s Congress and other federal buildings. @mehdiRHasan and @AymanM discuss the scary episode, and its parallels to January 6th. WATCH:

The modern conservative movement now relies on the ignorance of its voters. @KevinMKruse tells @MehdiRHasan that it's a remarkable change for conservatives who used to see themselves as clear-eyed warriors of the truth.

Why has historical myth-making grown in recent years? @julianzelizer tells @MehdiRHasan that it’s partly because politicized classrooms have made it harder to teach self-critical history.

“All Democrats had to do last week, as the Republican Party reaffirmed its incompetence for the entire world to see, was just stand up and say the name Jeffries unanimously,” @MondaireJones tells Mehdi as they discuss the challenge for Hakeem Jeffries going forward.

Does fmr. GOP Congressman @WalshFreedom agree that members of the modern Republican Party are partly to blame for what we’re seeing unfold in Brazil?
“Completely,” he tells @MehdiRHasan. “The rest of the world watches us … Clearly, Brazil watched us on January 6th.”

There's a lot we learned from the shambles of the Speaker vote. But the most worrisome, @mehdirhasan points out in his opening monologue, is that McCarthy made concessions with far-right rebels that risk holding the debt-ceiling hostage *and* tanking the economy. Thanks, Kevin!

"The sheer extent of this holiday travel disaster falls mostly at the feet of Southwest," @mehdirhasan says. But at the same time, he adds, the DOT was "warned that chaos was coming. And the action they took was too little, too late."

.@mehdirhasan has never shied away from criticizing the Senate for its utter dysfunction. The filibuster, the fake bipartisanship, the grandstanding — there's a lot to criticize!
But after this week, he’s got to give credit where it’s due: At least they’re not the House.

What went wrong w/ the Southwest Airlines crisis? Not just a broken airline industry, @WilliamJMcGee says, but a lack of regulation.
Transportation Secy. Buttigieg “has been a very big disappointment,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “He has not gotten tough with the worst offenders.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg vowed to investigate the Southwest Airlines meltdown that stranded thousands over the holidays.
But @mehdirhasan has a question for Buttigieg: Wouldn’t it have been better to try and keep this crisis from happening in the first place?

.@DeliaRamirez has a personal tie to immigration policy as she prepares to be sworn in: If Congress doesn’t act, her husband is among thousands who could face deportation.
She tells @mehdirhasan: “He has heard the promises for a very long time. And he hasn’t seen any progress."

The incoming freshman class in Congress is a notable one with some historic firsts. But they’re not technically members yet.
So as the House GOP continues to fight over its next leader, let @mehdirhasan tell you about the 75 representatives-elect still waiting to be sworn in:
