Reports of sexual violence by Russian soldiers against Ukrainian civilians are on the rise. Tonight, @rulajebreal tells @mehdirhasan why — sadly — Russia has a history of such cruelty during times of war.

You’re paying more for gas. Your grocery bills are rising. So you might think the economy isn’t doing well. But, as @mehdirhasan points out, it actually is.
It’s a classic perception vs. reality scenario, and @Sulliview discusses what’s behind the disconnect:

Democrats may lose control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms. Will progressives be blamed?
“We always get blamed,” @repmarkpocan tells @mehdirhasan. “We know that people...agree with progressives on the issues. The real challenge is making sure they get out to vote."

"They [know] that this guy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer,” @CharlesMBlow tells @mehdirhasan about Hershel Walker and the GOP’s anti-intellectualism trend, “But whomever is a vehicle to them being able to lock in power, they will take it.”

As we gear up for the midterms, what's the state of the Republican Party in the key battleground of Georgia?
It's "basically one of civil war,” @bluestein says. "I think Georgia’s going to be the biggest test of Donald Trump’s clout in the entire nation."

The most important Senate battleground this year might be the state of Georgia, and Republicans are rallying around football icon Herschel Walker as their candidate. But in many ways, Walker's the worst candidate the GOP could run — and @mehdirhasan explains why.

As the Biden admin is set to end — finally — the controversial pandemic refugee policy Title 42, there are a litany of conservative Dems coming out to support the policy. Because of course they are.

The movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ eerily mirrored reality this week when a climate activist appeared on the UK morning show ‘Good Morning Britain.’
So we put real life and the movie side by side for all to see. 👀

Trump pushed many celebs to get political. @JeriLRyan, who says she “did not register to vote until the 2016 election,” shares how her foray into the world of politics was influenced by the former president, too.

There’s been so, so much, there’s probably a lot you’ve *forgotten* about Donald Trump and his bumbling brand of racist authoritarianism and conspiracism over the past seven years. Let @mehdirhasan refresh your memory:

While ‘Never-Trumpers’ like Liz Cheney eventually took a stand against the now-former president, @mehdirhasan points out that it cannot erase her problematic past.
@julianzelizer agrees that the Wyoming congresswoman has "baggage that she can’t simply separate herself from."

Trump radicalized many people to embrace the far-right, but for many in Hollywood, his presidency did the opposite.
“I did not register to vote until the 2016 election,” @JeriLRyan tells @mehdirhasan.

In order to analyze Trump without normalizing him, @julianzelizer tells @mehdirhasan that we have to understand the precedent.
Since the 1980s, the GOP "has embraced very radical, partisan,“ he says. “A kind of no guardrails strategy of politics that set Donald Trump up."

As prospects for an Iran nuclear deal remain unclear, @mehdirhasan wonders where to set expectations.
"Hope is starting to run out a little bit,” @tparsi says, "[But] if hope has truly been lost, then we would have seen the two sides declare that the talks have failed."

The war in Ukraine has upended the geopolitical playing field as we know it. A critical example: the talks to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
As war in Ukraine continues, @mehdirhasan asks: could we be on a path toward a future war in the Middle East?
