Who is AG Merrick Garland protecting? The American people? Not quite, @jentaub tells @MehdiRHasan. "He's protecting Merrick Garland." The pair break down the latest in the Biden documents debacle. WATCH:

What is behind Merrick Garland's apparent campaign to appease Republicans in Washington? As @MehdiRHasan explains, his McConnell-derailed SCOTUS appointment has caused many Democrats to misremember history. AG Garland was never exactly a liberal darling... WATCH:

The embarrassing malfunction wasn’t the only notable thing about the UK’s satellite launch — there’s also Boris Johnson being edited out of a photo shared by his own ex-minister. If you ask @mehdirhasan, maybe the GOP should be taking notes:

“Missouri is the Show Me State…He’s shown them all he’s a fraud and a coward,” says @LucasKunceMO, who’s looking to unseat GOP Sen. Josh Hawley. He tells @mehdirhasan: “If any of us had run like that in Iraq or Afghanistan, we’d have been court-martialed for cowardice.” WATCH:

“If you look up ‘elite’ in the dictionary there’s a photo of Josh Hawley saying, ‘Why do you still own a dictionary? Are you too poor to buy a computer?’” @mehdirhasan’s a proud veteran of calling out Hawley's BS. And now's as good a time as ever to expose his faux populism:

“What have we become as a country where we’re not just losing our babies to people with guns, we’re letting our babies become the people with guns?" After a 6 y/o shot his teacher, @mehdirhasan says it’s time to drop the BS theory that more guns are the answer to gun violence:

Only two nations still have a debt limit (the U.S. and Denmark) — but it wasn't long ago that Australia did, too. "But guess what?" @StephanieKelton asks @mehdirhasan. "They realized how stupid that was … and so it's gone."

If one thing got Kevin McCarthy the votes for speaker, it was his concessions to far-right Republicans on spending cuts. But those deals come with a cost: a dangerous debt ceiling fight. So as we prepare for a showdown, let @mehdirhasan debunk the GOP's faux outrage:

Biden's classified document case is now being investigated by a special counsel. But to compare it to Trump's hoarding of classified docs at Mar-a-Lago — and his apparent attempt to conceal them — is "everything that's wrong with Washington," @mehdirhasan says. WATCH:

Meanwhile, Marine veteran @LucasKunceMO is taking on Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and his faux populism in next year’s election. Can Kunce unseat the GOP incumbent? He joins @mehdirhasan to discuss.
