In a move that seems out of character, pro-Israel Democrats are pushing back against the state’s violence. Mehdi explains why this is a sea change in the Democratic Party.
Mehdi poses a hypothetical about a 2024 Republican-controlled Congress certifying a Democratic elected president, and, well, @ruthbenghiat and @NormOrnstein’s answers speak for themselves...
.@repmarkpocan: “We should not be giving Israel another blank check for war.”
He joins @mehdirhasan tonight to discuss the deepening crisis and Biden’s controversial new $735M arms deal with Israel.

Joe Biden toured (!) Ford’s electric vehicle factory in Dearborn, MI today.
@Gina_McCarthy joins @mehdirhasan to discuss how the president's plan could help the electric vehicle industry tonight at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/u6I0n_Te0aU
With dozens of Republicans threatening to split from the party and some disputing that the Jan. 6th insurrection even happened, what is the future of the GOP?
@ruthbenghiat@NormOrnstein will be on to break it down tn at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/cthuD8Lgzxk
It’s happening, people: The military’s opening up about UFOs! “Everybody's seeing and reporting the same thing,” says @JeremyCorbell: “we have craft of unknown origin flying with impunity within our airspace,” with better tech than “anything that we have, that we know of.”
The Biden plan to put child tax credits into bank accounts is an “absolutely ingenious” lifeline to working families, says @JessLivMo: “We’re dealing with enough in this pandemic. We shouldn’t have to worry about how we’re gonna pay for the care that our families need.”
If Manhattan's DA charges Donald Trump over his finances, FL law “allows the governor to not have to extradite someone,” @EugeneDaniels2 says. There’s a lot of new territory here, as officials near Mar-A-Lago “were talking about, ‘Well, how do you arrest a former president?’”
Is there a connection between new state-level abortion bans and voter suppression efforts? Yes, says @FGossGraves. “These attacks on abortion access,” she says, are “rooted in a really ugly racist history of controlling the bodies and the lives of Black women in particular.”
SCOTUS Justice Stephen Breyer is reportedly resisting calls to retire while he can be replaced by a Democrat.
“He's got this very grandiose notion that the court should not be politicized,” says @imillhiser. “It's nice to live in Fantasyland. I like to make pretend, too.”
.@AliciaMenendez is back with us tonight. Join us as we bring you the latest on the Mississippi abortion case headed to the Supreme Court, the latest in Gaza, and why everyone is talking about UFOs. Lift off is at 7 p.m. ET on @peacocktvpeacocktv.com/channels/the-c…
Ex-Trump official @Alyssafarah admitted her former boss lied about the election. She’s also called his supporters who attacked the Capitol ‘terrorists.’ So, @MehdiRHasan asks, is Trump an inciter of terrorism? “It’s very clear, the words are there,” Farah tells him:
Rep. Pramila Jayapal tells @MehdiRHasan she thinks it’s impossible to work with the majority of the GOP on Biden’s infrastructure plan. “I have no faith whatsoever that Republicans are going to suddenly see the light.”
The tides of opinion on Israel are turning, @JeremyBenAmi tells @MehdiRHasan, as the majority of the Democratic caucus is calling for ‘immediate ceasefire’ in Gaza. “It’s morally reprehensible and runs counter to not only Democratic principles but also to Jewish principles.”
.@BernieSanders has penned a blistering @NYT op-ed on the Israel-Gaza crisis, calling for action with the line “Palestinian Lives Matter.” Because, as @MehdiRHasan explains, the number of Palestinians killed shows a stark disparity:
