UN Resolution 1441 gave Iraq one “final opportunity” to disarm. But, as @mehdirhasan points out, it did NOT authorize Bush and Blair to launch an invasion of Iraq. So wouldn’t that make the invasion illegal? Mehdi asks @RadioFreeTom.

Kevin Cook literally wrote the book on the '93 Waco siege and modern extremism. By campaigning there, Trump's "followers understand the signal that he gave," Cook tells @mehdirhasan. "I think holding this rally at Waco is another way of saying 'stand back and stand by.'"

Was Trump’s Waco speech a coincidence? Not to the current leader of the cult from the 1993 standoff, who calls Trump “the anointed of God.” “Trump is not [fmr. cult leader] David Koresh,” @mehdirhasan says, “but we are in dangerous, apocalyptic, violence-glorifying territory.”

Ignore the right-wing apologists. There are 70,000 reasons why today’s Manhattan Grand Jury indictment of Donald Trump matters. My insta-reaction to a historic day, with a nod to @JuddLegum.

Kevin Cook literally wrote the book on how the 1993 Waco siege laid the groundworks for America’s modern militia movement. He joins @mehdirhasan to discuss the not-so-subtle symbolism of Trump’s 2024 kickoff rally being in Waco.

.@RadioFreeTom says it’s wrong to compare Bush’s invasion of Iraq to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, arguing a key difference is that the Russians “laid waste” to Ukrainian cities. But what about the U.S. siege of Fallujah? @mehdirhasan asks: Was that not a Putin-level war crime?

Michael Moore looks back on his then-controversial Oscars acceptance speech from 2003, where he was booed for standing up against the Iraq War. “We were not going to find any weapons of mass destruction. This was all a big lie." -@MMFlint

Israelis are blocking highways and lighting fires in the streets over the government's judicial overhaul after 300,000 joined a rally in Tel Aviv, alone, last night. Israeli human rights lawyer @sfardm calls it a "collective civics lesson being taught and learned by the public."

Is it time to talk about conditioning U.S. aid to Israel? @JamaalBowmanNY tells @MehdiRHasan "we need to have a robust, full conversation on what's happening there as Israel remains an ally of the U.S."

"We're not going to talk about banning Facebook, but we'll ban TikTok? It's absurd to have one conversation and not the other." @JamaalBowmanNY on why he's against Congress' push to ban TikTok.
