.@mehdirhasan has an update on the Afghan interpreter who helped rescue then-Senator Biden, and other senators, from a far-flung valley of the country in 2008.

Public policy professor @jgoldsto’s 1991 prediction that elitism, inequality and political obstruction would help usher a Trump-like figure into power proved correct.

Former White House Russia expert Fiona Hill had a front row seat to Trump’s infatuation with authoritarians, from Putin, to MBS, and Kim Jong Un.
“He was obsessed with people, not countries,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “People who didn’t have checks and balances.”
