.@kumailn got seriously ripped to star in @TheEternals. But he’s REALLY tired of talking about it. He tells @mehdirhasan he’s excited for the movie to come out so “people get to see why I did it. People get to see my actual performance."

In tonight's #minirant, @MehdiRHasan does a quick deep dive into the Supreme Court Commission, who after six months of work, have delivered no actual proposals to fix a totally broken Supreme Court. Start the clock!

.@TheEternals is being praised for raising the bar when it comes to representation in superhero films. @kumailn tells @mehdirhasan he “just wanted to portray someone who was very, very different from the kinds of roles that people who look like us have traditionally played.”

It’s a little over a year until the 2022 midterms. What if Republicans could win back the house without winning a single extra vote? As @mehdirhasan explains, thanks to gerrymandering, election subversion & voter suppression, the heart of America’s democracy is badly at risk:

“Mao Zedong, Hitler, Stalin, the three of them combined, they did not have the kind of power that Zuckerberg has.”

“There's nothing normal about any elections in America right now that Donald Trump is involved in,” says @mehdirhasan of the VA governor’s race.
“That’s true,” replies @GovCTW, who is exploring the idea of a new center-right party if Trump-backed candidates keep winning.

It takes a lot to make @mehdirhasan’s jaw drop. Yet this morning Sen. Kyrsten Sinema found a new way to do it. Find out how in tonight’s rant:

You might expect that Donald Trump has blocked former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark from testifying. But @woodruffbets details how Clark actually has a greenlight to answer the Jan. 6 committee’s questions:

“I have never seen a more grotesque rally in this state than I did last night.”
That’s @LarrySabato’s take on last night’s GOP rally with Donald Trump and Steve Bannon in Virginia that the Republican candidate for governor said he didn’t have anything to do with.

A governor’s race that once looked like a cake walk for Dems is now a squeaker, featuring such post-Trump staples as Steve Bannon appearances, crazy culture-war issues, and, oh yeah, the Donald himself. @mehdirhasan on the latest in Virginia:

Secy. Blinken tweeted about Jamal Khashoggi on the anniversary of his death, but made no mention of Saudi Arabia.
“Without mentioning the Saudi side, it means ignoring this crime,” says Khashoggi’s fiancee @mercan_resifi.

Dems are reaping what they sowed by failing to win a decisive margin in the Senate.
“As two conservative Democrats hold the president’s agenda hostage,” says @mehdirhasan, “imagine what a different place we’d be in right now if the Democrats had run better campaigns last year.”

What factors determine if someone will be anti-science?
“This has almost nothing to do with education,” says @NaomiOreskes. “Studies have shown that among Republicans, the more educated they are, the less likely they are to accept climate change.”

Is Warnock’s reelection bid in trouble?
“Sometimes I think that there are some segments of the Democratic party that would rather lose elections than empower their base because there’s a fear over… how progressive policies become when you actually mobilize,” says @cliff_notes.
