Trump says the same five things on repeat — including boasting about his cognitive function.
But @mehdirhasan points out: After bragging about passing a test that’s supposed to prove you don’t have dementia, Trump messed up the name of the person he was trying to endorse.

“Can’t you just shoot them? ...in the legs or something?”
A new account of the WH attack on BLM protests, @mehdirhasan says, confirms “What most Americans already know: Donald Trump was the most insecure, bloodthirsty, self-absorbed chief executive of our lifetimes.”

New details on Trump’s decision-making behind-the-scenes of the June 2020 crackdown on Lafayette Square protesters shed light on the ex-president’s knee-jerk authoritarian bloodlust.

“Donald Trump is in a far more vulnerable position now within the Republican party than he might have been two years ago or four years ago,” @MarkLeibovich tells @MehdiRHasan, adding: “I think he’s a very beatable Republican nominee.”

A potential Biden visit to Kyiv could force Russia to shift from a war of self-defense and into a proxy war. @ZeeshanAleem tells @MehdiRHasan that it’s important for the U.S. to stay focused and “not make this an inter-Imperial Great Powers conflict.”

How does Virginia Delegate @pwcdanica respond to reports that Elon Musk is seeking to buy Twitter, in part, because a satirical news site was suspended for misgendering a top Biden health official? "I honestly don't give a damn about Elon Musk,” she says.

Elon Musk and others insist the Democratic Party has moved further to the left than the Republican Party has moved to the right. The evidence? Feelings not facts… @MehdiRHasan debunks their claims about a “vibe shift.” WATCH:

“The evidence is very, very clear,” @NormOrnstein tells @MehdiRHasan, debunking Elon Musks’ baseless claims that the Democrat Party has moved far to the left while the GOP has remained ideologically stable over the last few decades.

“People don’t think that audiences want to see brown faces in leading roles unless they are a particular type of character,” @GurinderC tells @MehdiRHasan, about the representation in her film “Bend it Like Beckham.” But, she adds, “we are seeing it change in front of our eyes.”

ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl bizarrely praised FOX’s covid coverage, calling it "very responsible." You be the judge on how responsible it was. WATCH:

“Yes, it was a missed opportunity,” @JocelynBenson tells Mehdi about Dems in the Senate who - having failed to pass crucial voting rights legislation - moved on to other things. “It wasn’t the first, or last, opportunity they’ll have to help us in the states protect democracy.”

Trump’s chosen pick for MI Secy. of State, election denier Kristina Karamo, is one step closer to overseeing the 2024 count in the key swing state, reminds @mehdirhasan. “So pay close attention to the race… bc what happens in Michigan politics definitely won’t stay in Michigan.”

President Biden says he’ll attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — a largely maskless event — despite concerns about rising COVID infections.
So, as @CharlesMBlow and @kavitapmd discuss, is there any chance DC’s ‘nerd prom’ could be an outdoor potluck instead?

Democrats have failed to address the messaging issue behind “Defund the Police” — which, by the way, was never about taking money away from fighting crime, @CharlesMBlow says.
So what should we call the movement? @deray has one idea: “Move the Money.”

President Biden says he *just* finished paying off the student debt of his son Beau, who died in 2015, at the age of 46.
Just another sign of a broken system, says @astradisastra: “The fact is that people carry student debt to their graves.”
