The silver lining in NY Dems tanking Gov. Hochul’s nomination for Chief Judge? “Democrats have finally recognized the importance of judicial appointments and getting them right,” @MehdiRHasan says, as he breaks down why the governor’s nomination ultimately failed.

"Any system that is set up to reward people for a particular kind of brutality — even against people who look like them — is going to produce these apparently anomalous but perfectly understandable dynamics,” @sandylocks breaks down the power of institutions with @MehdiRHasan.

.@KhalilGMuhammad responds to claims racism didn’t play a role in the death of Tyre Nichols.
“It’s nonsense that Black and brown officers have not been part of the problem of systemic racism and policing. It’s a fact and it’s well documented,” he tells @MehdiRHasan.

Although the five officers charged over the death of Tyre Nichols were Black, that doesn’t mean race didn’t play a factor.
@MehdiRHasan explains why it’s not only naïve to assume Nichols’ murder can’t be racist, it’s also ahistorical, ignorant, and just plain disingenuous.

Puerto Ricans have long protested worsening blackouts and unreliable electric service since privatization of the grid. Now, the govt. is doubling down, granting a new contract to another private company.
Let @mehdirhasan explain what it all means:

More than 20 years after 9/11, Islamophobia is ever present in the U.S. — and especially in the GOP. And “the only way to fight hate is with love,” @IlhanMN says. She tells @mehdirhasan: “If we shy away and diminish our positions...this level of hate will continue to increase.”

Kevin McCarthy claims he wants to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from a committee because of her “antisemitism.” But if the House speaker won’t say it out loud, @mehdirhasan will: “the Right hates her because she’s a Black, Muslim refugee from Africa.”

Rep. Jim Jordan says a new House panel is like the ‘Church Committee.’ But Loch Johnson, a former aide to Sen. Frank Church and his committee, doesn’t agree.
“It’s comparing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in some ways,” he tells @mehdirhasan. WATCH:

The House GOP wants you to think a new, Jim Jordan-led Judiciary subcommittee is the second coming of the 'Church Committee,' the model for congressional probes.
"They may want to pretend that's what it is," @mehdirhasan says. "The rest of us don't have to buy into that BS."

House Republicans are trying to keep @IlhanMN off the Foreign Affairs Committee. But is this all just a form of GOP Islamophobia?

Kevin McCarthy says @IlhanMN’s ‘antisemitism’ is why he wants her off of a House committee. But, she tells @mehdirhasan “for them to smear me ... really is only about the fact that I am Muslim, I am Black, I am African.”

Even the least likely GOP presidential contenders are turning the far-right pandering up to 11. Case in point: Mike Pompeo, who’s using Jamal Khashoggi's brutal murder for attention.
Sadly, says @mehdirhasan that level of brutality is “the only future for Pompeo’s party,”

As he hawks a memoir and mulls a 2024 run, Mike Pompeo probably would prefer it if you forgot about two deeply telling, wild soundbites from his recent past.

Every time you think Ted Cruz can’t embarrass himself any further, he happily does — and this time, it's about the classified document saga. As @mehdirhasan says, “You can’t shame the shameless!” WATCH:

New data shows that Republicans have an extremely negative view of Islam — and “that tells you exactly what they think about the rest of us,” @WajahatAli says: “You can stay here as long as you know your place, and your place is that you will be a sidekick or a villain.”

.@mehdirhasan: “Have you ever eaten at the same restaurant 8 different times and ended up with a bill every time of exactly $199.99? Because George Santos’s campaign claims he did just that.”
@WajahatAli: "In addition to lying, he’s very skilled at being a very precise patron.”

The questionable denials, the shocking claims, and the outright lies are piling up by the day. The New York Republican’s serial fabrications make him the perfect fit for the modern GOP:
