The majority-conservative Supreme Court is undermining democracy as we know it.
@russfeingoldsays it can’t even be called conservative. Instead, because of how it was appointed, it’s “essentially an illegitimate court.”
“This is just an extremely dangerous place to be, precisely because what Donald Trump says then becomes the position of the entire party.”
@AdamSerwer warns of the current mindset of much of the GOP.
Some on the left say the new conservative-majority SCOTUS isn't that bad, pointing to unanimous or 8-1 decisions. That was before Brnovich v. DNC and a dark money decision. @russfeingold joins @mehdirhasan to discuss.

Fmr Pres. Trump reportedly said “Hitler did a lot of good things” on a trip to Europe. (Yes, you read that right.)
It’s part of Trump’s own brand of fascism, which @AdamSerwer has been chronicling and joins @mehdirhasan tonight.

Former extremist @cpicciolini: “It’s really hard to distinguish what I believed in 30 years ago when I was a white supremacist and a neo-Nazi and what white nationalists believe today from what the Republican party line is today and the policies that they’re supporting.”
Although it’s been 6 months since the insurrection, “we have an enormously long legal road ahead of us,” @MacFarlaneNews tells @mehdirhasan. “We are closer to the starting line than the finish line.”
.@RepSwalwell tells @mehdirhasan that President Biden should instruct the DOJ to lift the ban on a sitting president being indicted “so no future president can act in such a destructive way because they think they’re above the law.”
Did GOP members give insurrectionists tours of the Capitol?
@RepSwalwell says the new House Select committee investigating the riot “better answer that question.”
“I don’t think they have any claim over that mantra [back the blue] anymore.”
Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell tells @mehdirhasan that although the right claims to support police, they haven’t reached out to him to hear his side of what happened 1/6.
Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell served in Iraq. So how did that compare to Jan. 6? “I have tried to move on from [Jan. 6]”, he says. “My emotions have turned from ‘I can’t believe this is happening’ to ‘we have to hold these people accountable.”
Former White Nationalist @cpicciolini is on the show tonight to talk about the current state of the white supremacist movement and how it played into the insurrection.

The most frightening thing @geoffrey_cain found out about China’s treatment of the Uighur population while reporting for his new book was the police surveillance.
Think the movie “Minority Report,” but… real life.
