House GOP ousted Cheney after she refused to support the Big Lie. “The GOP is careening down a strategically unwise path but also a morally reprehensible one,” @Alyssafarah tells @MehdiRHasan, “But telling the truth isn’t brave or heroic, that should just be what our leaders do.”

Fmr. WH Comm. Dir. Alyssa Farah says working in the Trump Admin. was a “public service.” @MehdiRHasan asks, “Doesn’t public service involve you also saying ‘I can’t work for a racist, misogynist bully’?” “As a brown woman,” Farah says, “It is challenging.”

Of course the Israel-Gaza crisis has a religious dimension but it’s not inherently a religious conflict so let’s stop acting like it is, explains @MehdiRHasan in tonight’s mini rant. “The violence is bad enough without the rest of us adding a layer of brazen bigotry.”

Military wife Alejandra Juarez migrated to the U.S. 20 years ago, but was deported in 2018 under Trump policies.
This month, she was able to return to her family. "It just feels like I'm dreaming," she says.

Pro-gun calls for “permitless carry” first spiked under Obama, says @igorvolsky, owing to “a pivot to the right within gun culture that really emphasized gun ownership as a way to protect people’s way of life that they saw as under threat from the nation’s first Black president.”

Israel says its forces are giving Palestinian civilians fair warning to leave buildings before they’re bombed.

"Anyone who believes the Murdoch problem disappears when Murdoch Sr. goes to meet his maker has got rocks in their head," former Australian PM @MrKRudd tells Mehdi. “Anyone who knows Lachlan Murdoch will know that he is, in fact, more deeply conservative than his father.”

In House testimony on the insurrection today, Fmr. Acting SecDef Christopher Miller omitted 500 words from his statement that had criticized Donald Trump. That’s the kind of cowardice, says @TimOBrien, that makes this “the most dangerous era in U.S. history since the Civil War.”

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy “is a puppet of Trump first and foremost,” says former Pence aide @OliviaTroye. “He is there to idolize and serve one person, who is sitting down in Florida eating a cheeseburger right now.”
