Many medical experts pushing to reopen schools during the pandemic weren’t treating patients directly or witnessed first-hand the danger of COVID for children and their families.
@mehdirhasan asks @19joho how these “laptop doctors” influenced policy on school closures.

COVID contrarians claim that closing schools was a mistake, in part because of the impact on their mental health. But that’s not what the data says at all. @mehdirhasan speaks to @tylerblack32 about one of the most pervasive myths about COVID, kids and remote learning.

How bad was the first Trump-free GOP debate? Jam-packed with authoritarian talking points. “These are not serious people,” says @mehdirhasan, but “that doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous.” WATCH: youtube.com/4Q01ZEqRivU

https://nitter.vloup.ch/t.co/vYysKwiPH7 DeSantis brings up COVID out of the blue in response to a question that wasn’t about COVID. But as @mehdihasan explained earlier, DeSantis’s COVID record is… *not* something to brag about.

.@elonmusk's characterization of San Francisco as ‘post-apocalyptic’ is “woefully disconnected” from reality, @chesaboudin says. “It’s always a little disappointing to see people who really have no expertise, no background in [public policy] weigh in as though they’re experts.”

91 criminal counts, four separate cases, dozens of co-conspirators.
But if you remember one thing about Donald Trump’s alleged crimes, @mehdirhasan says, remember what the sitting president and his cronies did to two innocent black women in Georgia: youtube.com/Ne8mxEp3_Vo

Trump & others are facing charges in Georgia over the vicious targeting and harassment of Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, two Black election workers.
@MsLaToshaBrown tells @mehdirhasan Trump “is consistent around this – around weaponizing race, around weaponizing sexism.”

For all the outcry on the right about rising crime, there’s one thing “Fox News does not want to show,” Fmr. San Francisco DA @chesaboudin tells @mehdirhasan. “Pro-Trump jurisdictions across the country have some of the highest crime rates.”

It’s been over a year since San Francisco ousted progressive DA Chesa Boudin over crime concerns. So what has happened since? Spoiler Alert: Violent crime is *up.*
@mehdirhasan breaks down what the backlash against progressive DA’s, including Boudin, is really about.

With Trump now indicted for a 4th time, the myth of Trump’s “nine legal lives” is imploding as he faces accountability, @TimOBrien tells @mehdirhasan. He’s in “waters he’s never swam in before.”

Conservatives are absurdly arguing the Georgia indictment charges Trump for acts that aren’t actual crimes. But law professor @AnthonyMKreis says it’s actually “par for the course of criminal law.” He explains how individual acts can be part of a larger criminal conspiracy.

The Mehdi Hasan Show retweeted
In a special episode of “Prosecuting Donald Trump”, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi reads the first part of the GA indictment accusing the former president and 18 others of being part of a “criminal enterprise” to overturn the 2020 election there. Click here to listen: link.chtbl.com/kKDwm9Yw

In tonight's #handover, @MehdiRHasan and @AymanMSNBC talk about GOP faux outrage over the selection of David Weiss as special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. It's a "reminder that you can’t please the Republicans ... and so maybe Merrick Garland should just stop trying.”

House Dems are under fire for an AIPAC-affiliated trip to Israel, despite the judicial overhaul. @JeremyBenAmi says this is larger than AIPAC. "It's about the entirety of our political system being warped & our policies being warped by the influence of money in our politics."
