Worst take of all time?
Fox’s Brian Kilmeade claims he read Mein Kampf in school as a response to the teaching of critical race theory… @MehdiRHasan asks, you sure about that?

In the post-Trump era, some top officials including Bill Barr are trying to redeem their reputations.
@mehdirhasan encourages Americans not to let them succeed.
“Check yourself” if you’re buying into this rehab tour and “please, whatever you do, don’t allow this.”

AOC said over the weekend that Democrats are maybe too cautious, considering their majority.

“The American public doesn’t care about process,” @SenTinaSmith tells @MehdiRHasan. “I’ve not had a single Minnesotan who said, ‘Gosh, Tina, I’m so grateful for that stimulus check… but it was not bipartisan.’”

Fmr. U.S. Sen. Mike Gravel has passed away aged 91. He made a name for himself with his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam war and Nixon’s war on drugs… But he was most famous for his 1971 one-man filibuster. @MehdiRHasan remembers the Democratic troublemaker:

Should the Dems be so afraid of the ‘S’ word… socialism? “We all have a part to play in governing. You shouldn’t have to be wealthy and powerful to make decisions regarding your own lives,” Buffalo’s Mayor-elect @Indiawaltonbflo tells @mehdirhasan

NY prosecutors are expected to bring charges against the Trump Org any day now, so why hasn’t CFO Allen Weisselberg flipped? “I was surprised he has stayed loyal as long as he has,” @barbara_res tells @MehdiRHasan, ”Maybe Allen is petrified of Trump, that wouldn’t surprise me“

“Donald Trump did not stop the insurrection,” Fallen Officer Brian Sicknick’s mother, Gladys Sicknick, tells @MehdiRHasan. “He was the person who could have stopped that whole thing right from the get-go and he did not.”

Last summer, @mehdirhasan was criticized for saying Trump was guilty of fascism. But after new books reveal more details about Trump's disturbing behavior in office, in tonight’s mini-rant Mehdi says, "maybe the f-word in relation to Trump was an understatement." Start the clock!

The GOP has spent years branding itself the patriotic party backing the military & police. But, as @mehdirhasan notes, the party’s reaction to Gen. Milley’s comments and its continued obstruction of the Jan. 6 commission has revealed how conditional that loyalty really is.

“Everyone who participated in enabling Donald Trump is responsible for their deaths,” says Sandra Garza, longtime partner of late Capitol Police Ofc. Brian Sicknick. “That these members of congress continue to outright deny what happened … is just absolutely unforgivable.”

QAnon shouldn’t be brushed off as the group behind some silly internet conspiracies.

Second amendment folks often argue they need arms to defend themselves against a potential military government takeover. As @MehdiRHasan points out, they’re making a ridiculous case.

.@mehdirhasan: Did Biden give a pass to MBS for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi?
“Absolutely he gave him a pass,” says @sarahleah1. “The only thing that’s changed under President Biden is some fancy words and semantics.”

We all know that the U.S. has a pretty shameful history of funding and arming the militaries of violent and despotic regimes around the globe. But did you know the U.S. trains some of them as well?

With the suspension of his NY law license, Rudy Giuliani is the first person pushing Trump’s ‘big lie’ to face repercussions.
