What news story had Donald Trump raging against the latrine? What are its implications for the Grand Old Potty?
"I know, we've really hit the bottom here."
@mehdirhasan catches you up on the alleged document dump... and how it all flushes out:
Watch what happens when @mehdirhasan asks Trump’s ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, whether Palestinians and Jews should have equal rights in the West Bank.
“Is it antisemitic to say things like ‘Jews control the media, Jews control Congress, Jews have divided loyalties?’” @mehdirhasan asks Trump’s ambassador to Israel. “Yes.”
“Was it antisemitic when Trump said those things?” Watch David Friedman’s answer:
Sure it was probably only a matter of time until Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of “Jewish space lasers” fumbled again. But when she did, boy was it worth the wait for @mehdirhasan:
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s heroic image isn’t one he enjoyed during his lifetime. As his son @OfficialMLK3 discusses with @mehdirhasan, that positivity comes at a cost for activists trying to carry on his work. “Oftentimes, people were listening, but they were not hearing.”
“Those are 200,000 lives we can’t back, 200,000 lives needlessly lost because of anti-science aggression,” @PeterHotez says about the number of unvaccinated people who’ve died due to misinformation.
As the trend of ending mask mandates in schools continues, @DrEricDing is alarmed by the statistics and what they say about the chances of long Covid in children:
Activists are calling on the Biden administration to help LGBTQ+ Chechens, but @ByDavidFrance says, “that just hasn’t happened.”
He lays out just how far the violent campaign against the population goes:
While the world is focused on tension between Russia and Ukraine, there are still horrific atrocities happening inside Russia’s border, specifically in Chechnya and its treatment of LGBTQ+ citizens. WATCH:
Does it count to call Jan. 6 a violent insurrection if you don’t vote to convict Trump and may vote for him again? @mehdirhasan and @SykesCharlie debate:
A new pandemic consensus is emerging, says @mehdirhasan.
“That consensus seems to be: ‘I’m done with all this. Let the virus do its thing, who cares about future variants or long Covid and if other people die, oh well.’”
He asks, “Is this really the America we want to live in?”
“We’ve been traumatized over and over again with these kind of police killings of innocent people in our district.”
@IlhanMN reacts to the no-knock warrant police shooting death of 22-year-old Amir Locke.
“We need to be very clear that Putin’s aggression is wrong, that there’s absolutely no justification for it.”
@RoKhanna talks Ukraine and how to deescalate the situation:
With all the havoc that technology has wreaked on society, is more of it really the answer?
Silicon Valley congressman @RoKhanna says the pluses outweigh the minuses:
Canadian truckers have revolted over the tyranny of masks for being unbearable.
Meanwhile, the Canadian women’s national hockey team is proving otherwise in Beijing.
Blackwater founder Erik Prince seems to have a hand in almost every conflict there is around the globe.
“It’s kind of breathtaking that no matter which part of the world you examine,” says reporter @MarkMazzettiNYT, “Prince sort of does turn up.”
.@IlhanMN has said sending $500 million in military aid to Ukraine could escalate the already precarious situation.
“Anyone who tells you that there is a path forward militarily is kidding themselves… every single option should be on the table.”
