Fox and the GOP embraced rapper Kanye West as a "free thinker" for his support of Donald Trump. Then, over the weekend, he tweeted an anti-Semitic death threat towards Jewish people. @MehdiRHasan and @AymanM call out the right's silence on Kanye's anti-Semitism.
How has the Biden Administration handled the situation in Iran so far? @rezaaslan tells @MehdiRHasan that we need to forget about governments, and instead focus on the people of Iran begging us to pay attention. WATCH:
Has @MarkHamill always been politically passionate? He tells @MehdiRHasan that while he's not an activist or a political pundit, he is "an American citizen who has an opinion."
“I was honored to be contacted by Zelenskyy to be an ambassador of their army of drones. These define war outcomes,” actor @markhamill tells @MehdiRHasan. “They’re essential for Ukraine to protect their citizens.”
Ted Cruz was delighted to brag about delivering a "great victory" for his constituents.
He neglected to mention that he voted against it. (via

“There needs to be a lot more of that kind of attitude whether or not he manages to clean up his language.”
As the right freaks out about Biden’s swearing on a hot mic—and forgets about Trump’s public profanity—@mehdirhasan says it's about time we saw this fight from Biden.
Reporters are catching flak for saving huge Trump revelations for their books. Where are they going wrong — or are they at all?
WATCH @SteveSchmidtSES and @speechboy71 make their cases to @mehdirhasan:
If you’re a Republican who believes all abortion is murder and you find out one of your candidates is alleged to have paid for an abortion, what do you do? As @mehdirhasan points out, it seems you give him half a million dollars and a standing ovation. #HypocrisyAlert WATCH:
There's a gender divide over the use of the term 'Latinx,' @paoramos says, that's typically objected to by “older Latino men.”
“The only objective of the term is to be more inclusive,” she says. “What is it about this term that evokes such a diverse image…is so irritating?”
Trump's unapologetic machismo has resonated with some Latino men. How can Dems reach them?
“We’ve gotten away from the narrative that really speaks to working class men,” @ChuckRocha tells @mehdirhasan. “This stuff about ‘machismo’ is the biggest lie I’ve ever heard.”
.@carloslcurbelo says Latino voters’ increasing support for the GOP stems more from cultural issues than policies.
"People on the left tend to focus many times on our country’s flaws," he tells @mehdirhasan. "It's hard to connect with that."
With just weeks until the midterms, a potentially key group is back in the spotlight: Latino voters. And as Dems hope to hold onto control in Congress, they must find a way to reach this diverse group — and fast.
After all, @mehdirhasan warns, “Time is not on Democrats’ side.”
Every few weeks, a book with shocking new revelations about the Trump years comes out. And then this question follows: "Why are we only hearing about this now?"

Control of Congress hangs in the balance in next month’s midterms, and Latino voters play a key role. How much will GOP inroads with these voters matter?
@mehdirhasan breaks it down with an all-star panel — @paoramos, @carloslcurbelo & @ChuckRocha — on @MSNBConPeacock. Tune in!
NYT journalist Maggie Haberman's new Trump book is stacked with revelations — and it's caused a stir over the ethics of reporters holding onto key information for their books.

What’s up with the right’s cynical and hypocritical obsession with civility, insisting that Democrats are somehow uniquely and outrageously rude? As @mehdirhasan explains, just listen to right-wing media to see how they literally demonize their opponents:
Despite that bombshell, the Georgia Senate hopeful is in luck, @mehdirhasan says — he’s a Republican in America, where the GOP "still rewards its candidates no matter their behavior is, or how serious the allegations against them are."
The GOP brands itself as the "law and order" party while calling Democrats “soft on crime." But in many cases, Republicans are the ones embracing people accused of committing awful crimes. What gives?

Republicans love to tell Democrats and liberals to be civil, be polite. But check out the hate-filled religious rhetoric the right is using right now. They’re literally demonizing their opponents.
“All three of the liberal women were great yesterday, it doesn’t matter, they’re going to lose 6-3,” says @ElieNYC of oral arguments before the Supreme Court on racial gerrymandering bans.
“What [Republicans] want is power. They don’t care about the morality of the argument.”
