Mehdi: "Was it wise for Barack Obama as recently as two years ago to be saying, 'Hey, we're the top producer of oil and energy in the world'?"
John Podesta: "I probably wouldn't have been touting it in 2018."

"I think what he put forward this summer was quite ambitious in scope," @johnpodesta says of Biden's climate change plan. "I think that he has the capacity to get some green infrastructure passed," and he can do more by executive action.

As they push the constitutional envelope, "It helps that the Trump campaign and Trump administration has been extraordinarily incompetent," says @kewhittington -- but he adds that one reason Trump doesn't "have a crack legal team is precisely because their arguments are so bad."

As Covid cases swell, Mehdi asks: Why isn’t Texas Gov. Greg Abbott doing more for state residents? “It’s very clearly politics," says @LinaHidalgoTX. “We would love to all be able to give good news.” But the situation is dire, “and there is a different and better way to do this.”

"We already know that they're not going to reverse much of the Trump administration's policies on Israel and Palestine," @4noura says of the incoming Democratic White House team. "What we'll see from the Biden administration is crumbs."

"It's bad-faith actors who always demand civility but give cruelty," @WajahatAli says of conservative critics trying to cancel him. "I want them to have health care. I want them to have jobs... They need me to suffer to feel great again. And that's the difference."

In 2016, "We were told that we need to reach out to understand" Trump voters, says @WajahatAli. "I have not heard... anybody say, 'Hey Trump voters, reach out to 80 million of your fellow Americans and please understand *their* frustrations and why they voted for Joe Biden.'"

Mehdi asks Foundation for Middle East Peace president @LaraFriedmanDC if Mike Pompeo's conspicuous pro-Israel hawkishness is less about winning over U.S. Jews and more about pandering to evangelical conservatives.
"Yes," she says.
"I could make it a longer answer, but: Yes."

"Most Americans are tired of putting up with an heir to a prominent New York family who's more interested in seeking glory and deflecting blame than in saving lives.
Unfortunately for New Yorkers, Andrew Cuomo is still governor."

"I'm not at all confident that they'll certify the election," @JeffTimmer says of his former colleagues in the Michigan GOP. "They have an obligation to certify the election results. A court will likely *tell* them to certify the election results."

Mehdi asks former MI GOP exec director @jefftimmer about Trump's gambit in the state: "Would you call this a coup or a coup attempt?"
"Well it could certainly rise to that," Timmer says, "but I mean, right now it's a clown car. And I don't mean that to be insulting to clowns."

The former head of the Michigan GOP joins us tonight at 7 PM
Be alarmed America. Serious games are afoot in Michigan. Presumably, they are in other states too.
Biden won MI by more than 150k votes. Make your voices heard and let Speaker @LeeChatfield and @SenMikeShirkey know you want your votes respected.

Did talk of defunding police hurt Democrats in 2020?

Trump's "intention of withdrawing from Afghanistan," says @QuincyInst's Andrew Bacevich, opens the door "to a possible end of the so-called global war on terrorism," and could free the US to address climate change and Joe Biden's "enormously ambitious domestic program."
