Does fmr. GOP Congressman @WalshFreedom agree that members of the modern Republican Party are partly to blame for what we’re seeing unfold in Brazil? “Completely,” he tells @MehdiRHasan. “The rest of the world watches us … Clearly, Brazil watched us on January 6th.”

There's a lot we learned from the shambles of the Speaker vote. But the most worrisome, @mehdirhasan points out in his opening monologue, is that McCarthy made concessions with far-right rebels that risk holding the debt-ceiling hostage *and* tanking the economy. Thanks, Kevin!

A new documentary sheds a new light into the 1/6 attack, and director Jules Naudet says he was particularly struck by the interviews with police officers. Watch his exchange with @mehdirhasan about speaking with the "incredible, brave men and women" who defended the Capitol:

.@mehdirhasan has never shied away from criticizing the Senate for its utter dysfunction. The filibuster, the fake bipartisanship, the grandstanding — there's a lot to criticize! But after this week, he’s got to give credit where it’s due: At least they’re not the House.

What went wrong w/ the Southwest Airlines crisis? Not just a broken airline industry, @WilliamJMcGee says, but a lack of regulation. Transportation Secy. Buttigieg “has been a very big disappointment,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “He has not gotten tough with the worst offenders.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg vowed to investigate the Southwest Airlines meltdown that stranded thousands over the holidays. But @mehdirhasan has a question for Buttigieg: Wouldn’t it have been better to try and keep this crisis from happening in the first place?

.@DeliaRamirez has a personal tie to immigration policy as she prepares to be sworn in: If Congress doesn’t act, her husband is among thousands who could face deportation. She tells @mehdirhasan: “He has heard the promises for a very long time. And he hasn’t seen any progress."

The incoming freshman class in Congress is a notable one with some historic firsts. But they’re not technically members yet. So as the House GOP continues to fight over its next leader, let @mehdirhasan tell you about the 75 representatives-elect still waiting to be sworn in:

Two years after 1/6, a new documentary goes behind the scenes in a way we've never seen before — and at a time when hearing what happened has never been more crucial. Watch director Jules Naudet & executive producer @IgalSvet discuss w/ @mehdirhasan: peacocktv.com/mehdi

A historic class of freshmen members of Congress has had to wait days just to be sworn in, all thanks to House Republicans who show no interest in, you know, governing. One of those freshmen, @DeliaRamirezIL, discusses w/ @mehdirhasan — don’t miss their convo on @MSNBConPeacock.
