TONIGHT:
Ahead of Thanksgiving and more people cleared to get booster shots, Dr. Anthony Fauci sits down with @mehdirhasan to discuss the latest Covid news.
Don’t miss their conversation tonight at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV: peacocktv.com/watch/playback…
“It disturbs me and reminds me of the Soviet Union,” says @jonathanalter of the ages of prominent Democratic leaders. “It’s a sign of weakness in any society when you have people well into their seventies and eighties running things.”
The aging of American government spreads far beyond Capitol Hill.
“The median age of a school board member is 59,” @amandalitman points out. “At every level of government, it’s not reflective of the people."
As some Trump critics refuse to say they won’t vote for him, a plea from @mehdirhasan:
“Unless you’re willing to vote against Trump in 2024 if he runs again, please don’t pretend you’re some sort of principal critic of his or that you give a damn about democracy in America.”
Rep. Gosar’s video depicted violence against AOC and Rep. McCarthy called for three more women of color to be censured. That doesn’t seem to be a coincidence.
“That’s what the Republican party has shown in terms of trends,” says @OliviaTroye.
.@NormOrnstein sounded the alarm on GOP extremism years ago.
Now he says it’s “deteriorated more than I could’ve imagined.” He says Kevin McCarthy is leading the “decline in the fundamental integrity of an institution that is leading the country into a very dangerous place.”
Rep. Paul Gosar was censured today by the House over a violent video he tweeted.
And by House, we mean the Democrats and *just two* Republicans. @mehdirhasan walks through today’s proceedings.
Between a censure of Rep. Paul Gosar and the Jan. 6 ‘Q Shaman’ being sentenced, today was a big day in holding right wingers to account for violence and threats of violence.
@NormOrnstein & @OliviaTroye join Mehdi to discuss.

Brad Raffensberger says there wasn’t voter fraud in GA in 2020, yet as Secy. of State he supports a law pushed by Republicans they say will combat voter fraud.
How does he reconcile those two thoughts after @mehdirhasan pushes for clarification — THREE TIMES? Watch:
Brad Raffensperger says he doesn’t like to comment on the Georgia Trump election case because he’s just a “structural engineer, not a lawyer.”
Yet he’s still the man who ran the 2020 election in Georgia. WATCH @mehdirhasan push back:
After getting Trump-inspired death threats for months after the 2020 election, is Georgia Secy. of State Brad Raffensperger planning to vote for Donald Trump should the former president be the Republican nominee in 2024? @mehdirhasan isn’t surprised by much:
Is it fair to equate Donald Trump’s election denialism with Stacey Abrams as Georgia Secy. of State Brad Raffensperger does in his new book? Don’t miss this classic @mehdirhasan back-and-forth:
She's one of the scientists who helped develop the Covid-19 vaccines. And as the booster rollout expands while cases rise, @KizzyPhD joins @mehdirhasan tonight at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and YT: youtube.com/qnA8-JeTwPM
