“The idea that [Ginni Thomas] is only a little bit of an insurrectionist doesn’t hold a lot of water for me.”

Trump has threatened to use a second term to turn the apolitical civil service – filled with career bureaucrats – into a den of Trump loyalists. But @MehdiRHasan asks, what about the partisan Trump appointees already running the supposedly apolitical USPS and World Bank?

If Ginni Thomas urged state lawmakers to overturn Trump’s election loss, then why on earth is her *husband* handling Trump’s Supreme Court appeal in the Mar-a-Lago documents case?
@ElieNYC has an answer for @MehdiRHasan. Tune in tonight on @MSNBConPeacock.

Why is Louis DeJoy still the postmaster general despite being a Trump era appointee?
“Sadly, I don’t understand why,” says @RepDean.
“Mr. DeJoy should have been removed.”

A new bombshell report says "pro-life" GA Senate hopeful Herschel Walker allegedly paid for a girlfriend’s abortion.
But Walker's in luck, @mehdirhasan says — he’s a Republican in America, where the GOP rewards candidates no matter their behavior.

Critics say reporters shouldn’t hold onto Trump bombshells — like his private concession that he lost to Joe Biden — for their books.
But @peterbakernyt says it's important "not to simply accept the narrative as we knew it... [but] to put it in a larger context."

.@mehdirhasan asked @peterbakernyt if interviewing Donald Trump made him feel like he "needed to take a shower afterwards."
His response: “He is not a reliable fact witness.”

If Russia decides to use nuclear weapons, @mehdirhasan asks: How should the U.S. respond?
“We have a variety of responses that we could take…before you even get to whether there should be a nuclear response in kind,” @Cirincione says.

Putin’s nuclear threat is sparking growing alarm — and it “breaks a long tradition” of cautious rhetoric from leaders on nukes, @NinaTannenwald says.
“I am more worried about the risk of nuclear use than at any time in my professional career,” she tells @mehdirhasan. WATCH:

Russia's Putin has again put world leaders on edge with new threats to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. He could be bluffing — he has before — but we can agree on this, @mehdirhasan says: Putin's "bombastic rhetoric makes [nuclear] missteps & tragedies much more likely."

From almost going nuclear with North Korea to seeking to use the govt. to go after his enemies, Trump's presidency was dangerous — and a new book shows how dire that threat was.

Russia’s nuclear weapons threat violates a longstanding worldwide taboo against the use of such horrific weapons of mass destruction. How worried should we be about Putin’s rhetoric?

Just how worried should we be about a Russian nuclear escalation? “I think we are at the most dangerous moment that we’ve been at since the Cuban Missile Crisis,” @NinaTannenwald says.

Brazil’s far-right leader outperformed expectations in the country’s presidential election — a phenomenon that feels oddly similar to the surprising results of the 2016 U.S. presidential race.
@JamesNGreen agrees, telling @mehdirhasan: “It’s a very apt comparison." WATCH:

Biden hasn’t kept his promise to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” on the world stage — a move that has international effects, @LinaAlhathloul says.
“Rehabilitating MBS...will destabilize the whole region,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “It should be disappointing to the whole world.”

In spite of polls that predicted otherwise, Trump-backed President Jair Bolsonaro shocked everyone in Brazil’s presidential race, earning enough votes to force a runoff.
“Fascism, sadly, isn’t going anywhere,” says @mehdirhasan. “Don’t believe polls that tell you otherwise.”

When Joe Biden ran for president, he vowed to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” over its human rights abuses.
But 4 years after journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed, @mehdirhasan highlights how the Saudi Crown Prince who's been accused of his murder hasn't been held accountable.

How could a second Trump admin use the military?
A collapse of U.S. military leadership amid an "attempted Stalinist purge ... is not outside of the realm of possibility," @PaulDEaton52 says: "And yes, it would robustly degrade the combat capability of all our services."

Burkina Faso is the latest African nation to suffer a military coup. But that wouldn't happen in the U.S., right? Right?
Likely not, @mehdirhasan says. But we could see military leaders purge dissenters, and forces deployed against Americans. Just take Trump’s own word for it:
