Why are Democrats struggling to counter-message against the GOP’s fearmongering campaign on crime?
“I think it’s easy,” @DA_LarryKrasner tells @MehdiRHasan.
“Democrats gotta stand up, cause this a nonsense argument that we can beat.”

"They could clearly hear the Speaker trying desperately to reach Governors ... trying to get anybody and everybody to deploy the National Guard ... to save our colleagues," @IlhanMN says of now-debunked GOP conspiracies that Nancy Pelosi didn't try to stop the Capitol attack.

Donald Trump is going after American Jews for not supporting Israel, saying they “better get their act together.”
@AriRabinHavt tells @MehdiRHasan Trump sees U.S. jews as “The enemy through these comments … we have to stop being numb about this.”

“Now is not the time to remain silent or to give the GOP a pass” on Trump’s straight-up antisemitism, @mehdirhasan says. “These are not isolated or unconnected acts of hate. … It’s all part of the same thing: The rising and dangerous fascism on the American right.”

The Fed has been aggressively hiking interest rates to try and crush inflation, but it’s risking a recession in the process. @RBReich has some advice for the Fed before it raises interest rates again: “Just slow down.” WATCH:

The good news is the U.S. is still enjoying historic job growth. The bad news? The fix for bringing down inflation could bring an end to that.
@mehdirhasan asks: Is it possible to stop inflation without tanking the economy, at great human cost?

A criminal referral from the 1/6 panel may have no legal weight on whether the DOJ moves to indict Trump, but surely it would help?
“It's necessary for the sake of our country, for the sake of our democracy," @thelisagraves says. "I hope…[it’s] taken very, very seriously."

“That’s like someone who cheated on their spouse saying…‘I thought we’re not together.’”
Trump may think he’s above the law, @DaveHendersonJD says — and Ross may have thought he and Rachel were on a break — but that doesn’t make it legal (or true):

Donald Trump may *finally* be held to legal account—not for his attempt to overturn the election, incitement of an insurrection or years of alleged financial misdeeds—but for the mishandling of government documents.
Say it with @mehdirhasan: "No one should be above the law."

The good news: The U.S. is seeing historic job growth — the best in 50 years! The bad news: The fix to lower inflation could put a stop to that.

.@mehdirhasan: "There is this wonky rule on the Supreme Court where individual justices handle emergency appeals from specific district courts. And the justice overseeing the 11th circuit whose decision Trump is appealing is none other than Clarence Thomas.”
Clarence Thomas could be sole justice to rule on Trump Mar-a-Lago case. on.msnbc.com/3eomCKN

It's "absurd" that the GOP is leading on the issue of the economy, Sen. Bernie Sanders says. So, @mehdirhasan asks, how can Democrats win people over?
Sanders: "What we have got to do is take the attack to Republicans. ... You've got to go on the offensive."
Watch their convo⬇️
Sen. Bernie Sanders on what Democrats should focus on ahead of the midterms: “When the American people in poll after poll think that the economy, think that inflation are the two major issues, you cannot ignore those issues.”
