The ACLU is holding the Biden Admin. to account over its use of Title 42 to expel migrants. But @leegelernt says there has been change. It’s “like night and day,” the ACLU lawyer tells @MehdiRHasan. The Trump Admin. “was really just evil.”

It is no secret that thousands of migrant families were separated at the border, but @mehdirhasan wants to know what’s standing in the way of reuniting them.

The idea that the Sackler family can buy lawyers to stay out of jail is "unconscionable," NYT columnist @NickKristof tells @MehdiRHasan. "They were more responsible than any other family or any other company for the opioid epidemic."

Far-right figures in the GOP are flourishing despite many controversies. That’s probably because "nothing is normal about the Republican party," @WalshFreedom tells @mehdirhasan. "One of our two political parties is a cult."

Sen. Collins and Rep. Cheney defended Sen. Romney after he was booed by Republicans over the weekend. As “big lie” embers ignite around the country, is the GOP salvageable? @walshFreedom joins @mehdirhasan at 7 p.m. ET to discuss on @peacocktv and live: youtube.com/Lx3xioyZ0S4

Would you urge the WH to waive vaccine patents to help India & other countries? @BillNye tells @MehdiRHasan it’s complicated. But “It’s in everyone’s best interest to vaccinate people all over the world, and if the U.S. has to pay for it that’s well worth it.”

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and politicians who ignore their state's own history shouldn't decry D.C. statehood. @MehdiRHasan has a mini-rant on some of the new, ridiculous reasons lawmakers are opposing the creation of a 51st state. Start the clock!

How deadly is the anti-vax rhetoric from the right? @BillNye tells @MehdiRHasan “Everybody is saying ‘It’s not fair to make me wear a mask, it’s not fair to make me get vaccinated.’ Well, it’s not fair to everybody else if you become an incubator for a variant, doggone it!”

The filibuster is blocking Dem’s legislative priorities.@MehdiRHasan asks Rep. Nikema Williams about Senators Sinema & Manchin who refuse to reform it.“I don’t understand how we’re going to allow a procedural rule like the filibuster get in between me & my right to vote."

How can prominent Republican politicians deny the existence of systemic racism? @MehdiRHasan asks if it’s ignorance, dishonesty or maybe pandering to a reactionary white base? @ProfTriciaRose says all of the above: “It’s very much about intentional & performed ignorance.”

Republicans are using misleading framing not only to deny the existence of systemic racism today, they’re denying the racism of the past as well. @MehdiRHasan explains:

As India records 400k+ Covid cases in a single day, Arundhati Roy tells @MehdiRHasan the Indian gov’t failed to heed warnings. “[Experts] were red flagging this from April last year ...nothing was done, in fact the reverse was done. Gloating, organizing pilgrimages of millions.”

When a @MehdiRHasan guest dodges a question ,he usually presses -- hard! -- for an answer. But with “Hamiton” star @ReneeGoldsberry, her evasion made him happy. Find out why. HINT: The Marvel Comic Universe is (maybe?) involved:

“We cannot help but speak our truth.”
@ReneeGoldsberry of “Hamilton” fame answers critics who say actors should stay out of politics: “I'm a mother of Black children. There is no world in which I will not speak about the threat to my children.”
