Kevin McCarthy coddled the GOP's fringes, hoping he’d become speaker. Yet, @mehdirhasan says, the hard right might be what keeps him from doing so. “All the pandering. All the lies. All the starbursts. And [he] STILL might not get the promotion he’s always wanted.”

Since 2018, 300+ anti-trans bills have been introduced across the U.S., and anti-trans rhetoric is reaching new heights. @ParkerMolloy and @imarajones discuss trans rights in America with @mehdirhasan, and it’s an important convo you don’t want to miss: peacocktv.com/mehdi

Remember how the GOP ran on issues like inflation & crime in the midterms? Yeah, Kevin McCarthy doesn’t actually care about that stuff. @JulianCastro & @TaraSetmayer join @mehdirhasan to look at the next would-be speaker’s agenda — if he gets the job. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

With anti-transgender rhetoric and violence growing, it’s as crucial as ever to uplift trans voices — @ParkerMolloy and @imarajones join @mehdirhasan to share what it's like being trans in 2022 America. Watch their exchange, and catch their full discussion on @MSNBConPeacock.

“As someone who has made history in his own right, I understand the importance of representation,” @MondaireJones says of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ historic election as House Dem leader. “It remains to be seen … how he’ll get along with this ideologically diverse caucus.”

DCCC chair Sean Patrick Maloney forced incumbent @MondaireJones out of his own seat in Dem redistricting — and, in the end, both incumbents lost. "There’s plenty of blame to go around,” Jones tells @mehdirhasan. “But of course I would've won my seat."

The House passed legislation to avoid a looming rail strike that threatens to paralyze the U.S. economy just weeks before Christmas. Now, its fate — but also the basic rights of rail workers — rest with the Senate. @mehdirhasan catches you up on what you need to know:

It’s not just Florida GOPers who are tight with ‘Moms for Liberty’. “There's a lot of Republicans that have linked arms with this group,” @tylerkingkade says. So, @mehdirhasan asks, how much does the GOP depend on them? Watch their exchange:
