The new Italian prime minister is Italy's first far-right leader since Mussolini himself. Meloni's party comes out of Mussolini's fascist movement and she pushes 'great replacement' BS.
I warned you about her on the @MehdiHasanShow a couple of weeks ago:
Italy's far-right leader, Giorgia Meloni, is poised to become the next PM. What does that mean for the U.S.? @ruthbenghiat says we'll see her "coming to CPAC."
“It legitimizes the GOP & puts it further into this transnational new fascist connection & world.”
“There’s nothing semi about that facism, it’s straight up.”
@Adrian_Fontes responds to a tweet from his opponent in the Arizona Secretary of State race, Mark Finchem, calling for Fontes to be arrested.
Ahead of the 2022 midterms, @mehdirhasan discusses, arguably, the most important job in America: Secretary of State.
But not the one you’re thinking of.
Watch:
Most of Puerto Rico is still without power a week after Hurricane Fiona, leaving many unable to preserve their food.
@chefjoseandres & @RepMcGovern join @MehdiRHasan tonight to discuss what’s next.
Donald Trump’s MAGAfied candidates who openly back the Big Lie are flooding state ballots ahead of the 2022 midterms - including in swing states like Arizona.
AZ Secretary of State candidate @Adrian_Fontes joins @MehdiRHasan to discuss the upcoming elections.
“I want [President Biden] to say this will be the last hunger conference in the history of America,” @chefjoseandres says ahead of his White House visit.
“Because hopefully after that conference…we’ll make sure no American…will go to bed hungry.”
.@julito77 says Hurricane Fiona exposed the effects of colonialism on the plight of Puerto Rico:
“This is an island that has been ignored, abused, oppressed, overlooked, dissected,” he says. “It’s a bipartisan problem, and the United States needs to finally solve it.”
Russia’s arrest of hundreds protesting Putin’s troop mobilization "is a drop in the bucket" compared to the "overwhelming support for Putin’s war" from Russians, @mashagessen says. WATCH:
Donald Trump claims that as president, he could declassify documents simply “by thinking about it.” The problem with that made-up theory? That power would now rest with Joe Biden, @AshaRangappa_ says:
“It doesn’t make any sense, but it also doesn’t work in his favor."
Did you know millions of the people in American prisons are enslaved? That's right: Today in 2022, slavery is alive and well… and still legal.
@BiancaTylek joins the show to discuss what’s being done to abolish slavery for good. Tune in on @MSNBConPeacock.
It’s a good week not to be Donald Trump, as the ex-president’s legal troubles are kicking into overdrive.
@AshaRangappa_ joins the show to help make sense of this week’s many legal developments — be sure to tune in on @MSNBConPeacock!
Trump said there doesn’t have to be a declassification process — there does.
Trump said he “declassified everything” — even if he did, it wouldn’t matter.
Trump said he can declassify “by thinking about it” — he can’t. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…
Is it just us, or has anyone else noticed the White House Twitter account has gotten a little…spicy lately?
That could be thanks to a new hire and her signature New Jersey flair. WATCH:
In a major shift, Israel admitted one of its soldiers likely killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. But the U.S. should do more to bring her justice, @Dena says: "Anything short of accountability and a full investigation is completely unacceptable.”
The story of Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi is also one of “a normal child who had hopes and dreams,” journalist @Dena says.
“Unfortunately, like so many other Palestinian children,” she tells @mehdirhasan, “your dreams are just absolutely denied” in the occupied territories.
.@Zac_Petkanas makes the case for ranked-choice voting:
"Our current system says an extremist candidate...w/ a committed group of followers can obtain power with 45, 40, 35% of the vote if the rest of the electorate is divided. It’s really important to be able to counter that"
There’s a common thread weaving America’s outdated voting systems together: They "tend to protect the same political minority: Republicans."
Watch @mehdirhasan's monologue on ranked-choice voting — and why it may be a better way to reflect what a *majority* of voters want:
As a young girl, Ahed Tamimi helped shine a spotlight on the plight of Palestinians living in the occupied territories. Now, she’s out with a memoir to tell her story in her own words.
Co-author @Dena shares more with @mehdirhasan — tune in on @MSNBConPeacock.
