For someone who says he cares a lot about background checks and vetting, George Santos seems to be qualified at one thing: lying about his qualifications. Just how many lies are on the GOP congressman-elect's resume? Give @mehdirhasan 60 seconds to tell you:

For Palestinians, Israel’s new far-right govt “doesn’t make a huge amount of difference,” @PeterBeinart says. He tells @mehdirhasan: “Palestinians see no hope for gaining basic rights.”

Amid the fixation on the start of the 118th Congress, @mehdirhasan says we can't gloss over Israel’s new ultra right-wing government and its members who “make our GOP look like a UC Berkeley a cappella team.” Let him explain:

In 2021 there was Marjorie Taylor Greene. In 2019 there was Greg Gianforte. There’s always one. So which Republican will it be this time around, @mehdirhasan asks, who represents for better or worse (mostly for worse) what the party has become? WATCH:

Hope Hicks complained in now-public texts that her former boss made his team “look like domestic terrorists” on 1/6. But @RinainDC isn’t buying it. She tells @mehdirhasan: “She knew what kind of man she worked for … [and] you’re not honorable when you’re near [Trump.]”

The Jan. 6 committee’s interview transcripts confirm what we all but knew for certain: The “best friend” in Ginni Thomas’s released texts is none other than her SCOTUS justice husband — and her outright concession was "remarkable," @mjs_dc tells @mehdirhasan. WATCH:

Despite everything Ginni Thomas told the 1/6 committee, her name appears in the panel’s final report exactly zero times. Meanwhile, @mehdirhasan warns, her husband still sits on SCOTUS — and is ruling on high-stakes elections cases.

Extremists now hold powerful positions in the Israeli government. But what does that mean for the United States? A lot. @PeterBeinart joins @mehdirhasan to discuss what some are calling the most right-wing government in Israel’s history. Tune in: peacocktv.com/mehdi

We all left things behind in 2022, @mehdirhasan included. But we can’t start the new year without mentioning a certain SCOTUS justice’s wife, who somehow escaped any culpability by the now-defunct 1/6 panel. Don't miss Mehdi's convo w/ @mjs_dc and @RinainDC on @MSNBConPeacock.

The 1/6 panel's file dump includes revealing texts from some of Trump’s top allies, like White House aide Hope Hicks. @RinainDC’s take: “It tells you exactly who these people are and who they’ve always been.” Watch her convo w/ @mehdirhasan & @mjs_DC on @MSNBConPeacock.
