As a new Cuomo allegation is reported to the police, @yuhline, one of the 50 NY legislators to call on the gov. to resign, joins @mehdirhasan to discuss why she believes it’s time for the governor to step down tonight at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/I835IKlVCms
One year after the WHO declared Covid a pandemic, President Biden signed a $1.9 trillion relief package into law. So what’s next in the recovery effort? @SenAlexPadilla joins @mehdirhasan to discuss at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/I835IKlVCms
.@mehdirhasan pushes ex-GOPer Jim Hendren on why he only left the party this year: "Kids in cages, Trump praising neo-Nazis...telling Ilhan Omar and AOC to go back to their countries...none of those made you think 'I can't be part of this anymore'"?
Watch and decide:
Andrea Sahouri was acquitted today, but her arrest for reporting on a protest "was just a farce at every level," says ex-colleague @jasonnobleIA. "The role of journalists is to hold the powerful to account. And in a democracy the powerful cannot use their power to stifle that."
Lawmaker @JimHendren1 left the GOP after the Capitol insurrection, but he reluctantly voted Trump in 2020. "We see choices where we have a far-right extremist on the Republican side," he tells @mehdirhasan, "versus a Democratic candidate who does not represent the values at all."
What’s really going down on the border? @jacobsoboroff traveled to Mexico to get the on-the-ground truth from activists…as well as migrants from many countries who have been waiting up to two years to gain U.S. entry. One aid worker tells him: "Not much has changed since Trump."
What would happen, @mehdirhasan asks, if Biden drastically cut military spending?
"Republicans call him weak on defense?
We get drawn into a long, costly overseas war?
Someone tries to attack the Capitol?
We've already proven that a $700 billion Pentagon can't stop any of that."
The time is now to press for a $15 minimum wage, abolish the filibuster, cancel student debt, and give Americans *regular, reoccurring* $2000 checks, @AyannaPressley tells @mehdirhasan: "For the past four years...we had an occupant, not a president. Now we have a president."
Biden's pushing a progressive agenda because progressive "black folk, AAPI, indigenous, disabled, queer [and] young people" got him elected, Rep. @AyannaPressley tells @mehdirhasan: "The most marginalized met the moment and made it possible for democracy to breathe another day."
Lifelong conservatives are fleeing the GOP in wake of Trump and the Capitol attack. One of them, @JimHendren1, wants to build a new place for people floating in the political ether. He joins @mehdirhasan to discuss at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/RLeGKIgwwuM
The House just passed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. As the legislation awaits President Biden’s signature, @RepPressley joins @mehdirhasan to discuss the impact it will have on millions of Americans. Tune in at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/RLeGKIgwwuM
.@ezralevin and his @indivisibleteam are pressuring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to be more progressive: “She gave a thumbs down on the floor of the Senate” to the $15 minimum wage, and “that was a big middle finger to 800,000-plus working Arizonans and millions more across the country.”
"Put your signature on the [Covid] check," @StephanieKelton tells Biden & Dems. "Make it clear that voting for Democrats had material and immediate positive benefits to millions of people," while "the Republican Party is the ostrich party. They stuck their heads in the sand."
Why isn’t Congress up in arms over Republican Rep. Paul Gosar’s white nationalist overtures? “The silence is deafening, there's no doubt about it,” @RepJasonCrow tells @mehdirhasan. “The bottom line is we have some members of Congress...who are pretty depraved individuals.”
The FBI released new videos of a person suspected of planting 2 pipe bombs the night before the Capitol attack. As some Republicans rush to put Jan. behind them, @RepJasonCrow wants to make sure Congress doesn't forget. He joins @mehdirhasan to discuss at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV
What can the average family expect from the $1.9 trillion Covid rescue plan? We modeled what the bill will do for a family of four, the Peacocks. And @StephanieKelton joins @mehdirhasan to put it all in context. Tune in at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV
The latest rounds of recriminations about the Lincoln Project are “extremely troubling,” former colleague @DelPercioS tells @mehdirhasan. “I am very grateful that it existed and we did the work we did,” but “I don't know how it survives this.”
Start spreading the news: Donald Trump is back in New York City for the first time since leaving the White House. But as @MehdiRHasan explains, the Big Apple he returns to isn’t the same as the one he used to live in, in part because of his policies as president.
