After a 22-year-old black man was shot and killed in a Minneapolis home when police executed a no-knock warrant intended for someone else, @mehdirhasan asks, “How many of us go to sleep worrying not about burglars bursting into our homes, but the police themselves?”

Another American has died in police custody, this time in Israel. 78-year-old Omar Abdulmajeed As’ad died at the hands of Israeli Military Police last month. So where is the U.S. outrage and investigation, asks @mehdirhasan?

Few things are as sacrosanct on Capitol Hill as the buzzword of bipartisanship. But if bipartisanship doesn’t actually result in legislation that preserves democracy, says @mehdirhasan, it’s worth “Nothing!”

As many kudos as the Jan. 6th Committee might deserve, @MollyJongFast has a concern:
“The thing I’ve been a little disappointed with is: what is happening with Merrick Garland following up on some of these?”

If Ivanka shows up to testify, she’d effectively be throwing her dad under the bus. But wouldn’t he do the same?
“Donald Trump would throw *anyone* under the bus to save his own skin,” says @TimOBrien. “Including every single one of his children.”

In tonight’s handover, @MehdiRHasan asks about the Biden admin. seeming to think reporters shouldn’t question what officials say about Russia, ISIS, or other classified issues.
@AymanM: “It’s not our job to be stenographers for the American military or the American government.”

Why isn’t Biden cracking down on Saudi Arabia to end the war in Yemen? “I am so frustrated,” @TawakkolKarman tells @mehdirhasan. ”I hope he'll change his policy, that's very important for him as President, for the U.S. also who should keep on protecting values of human rights.”

The torch lighting at the Beijing 2022 winter olympics was more like gaslighting, as the Chinese govt. put a Uyghur athlete front and center. As @mehdirhasan explains, China might think they can play by their own rules, but we need to prove them wrong. WATCH:

One of the roles of the media is to hold the government to account. So why is the Biden admin. trying to suggest ANY criticism of their pronouncements means journalists are somehow in bed with foreign dictators and terrorists? @MehdiRHasan has a lot to say in tonight’s #minirant

“The best indicator of a successful coup coming, is a recent failed coup where the coup plotters get to diagram the weaknesses in the regime,” @RepRaskin tells @MehdiRHasan. “We’ve got to map that out for democracy and repair the walls so it doesn’t happen again.”

The Republican Party supports the armed insurrection against the United States of America. Don’t take @MehdiRHasan’s word for it: They’ve put it in writing for anyone to see. WATCH:

Yet another member of Trump-World is getting the rehabilitation treatment from reality tv. And as @mehdirhasan points out, it might be the worst one yet. Cue ‘Blurred Lines’:

Whether it’s the pandemic, Yemen or Afghanistan, Americans have a bad habit of forgetting about bad news.
“One of the worst responses is just to imagine that something’s done,” says @NicholsUprising. “That’s not the right way to approach it.”
