.@DeanObeidallah on Jack Smith's investigation into Trump: "This is an 'inshallah' prosecution... 'Inshallah' for us Muslims means God willing, often never, it's gonna take a sign from God to get DOJ to charge Donald Trump."

"President Biden has negotiated a lower ransom payment from the extremist Republicans. But the real question is why do we let people like Marjorie Taylor Greene take the entire economy hostage in the first place?" @RepCasar on why the debt limit should be abolished.

President Biden and Kevin McCarthy’s debt limit agreement has now been revealed. But, @MehdiRHasan asks, can this truly be called a “deal” if only one side got what they wanted? And are Democrats really prepared to do this all again in 2 years time?

After leading the prosecution against police officer Derek Chauvin, @keithellison won his re-election for Minnesota attorney general, but only narrowly.
@mehdirhasan asks him – was that a white backlash?

Ron DeSantis officially launched his 2024 bid, leaning on his partisan and polarizing approach to Covid-19. But @mehdirhasan says his actual Covid record is absolutely abysmal – and we shouldn’t let DeSantis rewrite history: youtube.com/dj0s_TTArYo

.@mehdirhasan: “Here’s what I want to do to mark Kissinger’s 100th birthday: I want to talk about some of the many, many people around the world who didn’t get to live till 100, or even 60, 70, or 80, *because* of Henry Kissinger.”

It’s been 3 years since George Floyd was murdered and Minnesota Attorney General @keithellison can still recall the shock of seeing the video.
“Despite all his anguish, cries and the people yelling ‘get off of him’, the officer just wouldn’t move,” says Ellison.

“This is not just about arms dealing. It’s also about ethnonationalism.”
@antloewenstein explains that Israel’s endless wars on Gaza serve as both a model and selling point for other autocracies to seek out Israeli military technology.

The violence in Gaza has been pointed to by Israel as a war on terror, while Palestinians claim it's about racism and colonialism. But what if it's about something else?
A new book by @antloewenstein reveals how Israeli companies are using that war to market arms abroad.

"Succession" writers consulted with Milwaukee election official Claire Woodall-Vogg for their recent episode imagining a Wisconsin vote-counting crisis.
She tells @mehdirhasan what her office, and state courts, might do if a nightmare scenario like that actually happened.

"Succession" imagines a nightmare scenario where 100,000 ballots are destroyed on election night. Would a revote be allowed if this happened in a real-life presidential race?
Election law expert @rickhasen says the scenario was "scarily real, and with no clear answer."

The latest “Succession" episode portrayed a nightmare scenario where 100,000 ballots are destroyed in an apparent arson – ballots that could decide the presidential election.
What if something like that happened in 2024? Election experts weigh in.

With the world economy in the balance, why doesn’t Pres. Biden simply take a page out of the 'Die Hard' playbook and go 'Yippee-ki-yay' on the debt-ceiling hostage takers? As @mehdirhasan points out, Biden may actually have a constitutional duty to do it.
