One state’s Republicans are unmatched in their power-consolidation… even though voters are split almost evenly between D’s and R’s.
And as @mehdirhasan explains, the GOP has used this state as a laboratory to beta-test extreme policy makeovers and culture-war talking points:

Under DeSantis, Florida has become a lab for GOP policy and talking points. But the only Dem holding statewide elected office thinks she has what it takes to unseat the polarizing GOP Governor. You don't want to miss @mehdirhasan’s intv with @NikkiFried tonight on @MSNBConPeacock

With Gov. Ron DeSantis looking to make gun permits a thing of Florida’s past, @davidhogg111 slams the so-called “constitutional carry” law as “careless carry”: “With power comes responsibility. But this is gun irresponsibility.”

Amid a lack of action, @mehdirhasan asks @maziehirono: Why should people be convinced to still vote blue in November?
“The 50-50 Senate sucks,” she says. “Make no mistake: if the Republicans take over…there will be a huge push to pass a national anti-abortion law.”

After 50 years, Republicans who gamed a broken system are on the verge of ending the right to abortion. Dems say “bipartisanship” and “norms” will fix it.
They won’t, @mehdirhasan says. Ending the filibuster & expanding SCOTUS will — just about the only means left to do so.

Ending the filibuster. Expanding the Supreme Court. Codifying Roe v. Wade. They sound like abstract fantasies, but are they the only means left to fix a broken system?

The leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade has the support of Trump-appointed Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. But during their Supreme Court confirmation hearings, each acknowledged the ruling's underlying precedent. WATCH:

If SCOTUS won’t uphold the right to choose, why hasn't a bill codifying Roe hit Biden's desk? Because of the GOP and Joe Manchin, @mehdirhasan says.
But with abortion rights on the line, Dems should show voters the stakes the nation faces—and they must capitalize on the moment.

January 23, 1973: The day's top story was President Lyndon Johnson's death. Another big headline, though, was the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
Let @mehdirhasan take you back to that day, and show you how @NBCNightlyNews covered the monumental SCOTUS ruling (h/t @SteveKornacki)

.@ProfMMurray says Justice Alito's draft SCOTUS opinion overturning Roe has “troll energy.”
“Alito has always been known for his caustic demeanor on the bench and with his colleagues and with litigants,” she tells @mehdirhasan, “and that definitely is translated here.”

Overturning Roe would upend half a century of precedence on abortion rights.
What's scarier, @mehdirhasan says, is “what this draft opinion is doing is not just ending the right to abortion, but opening the door to the ending of multiple other rights we now take for granted.”

The tragic reality, if Roe v. Wade really is struck down, is that abortion access will be decided state by state — that is, by elections.
Will that motivate voters to turn out? @Dr_CMGreer and @feministabulous discuss with Mehdi tonight. Make sure to watch on @MSNBConPeacock

So who leaked the draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade? We may never know, but one thing’s for sure, according to @ProfMMurray, “There are lots of theories.”

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion access will be decided state by state — that is, by elections. Will that motivate people to vote and elect lawmakers who will defend those rights?
@Dr_CMGreer & @feministabulous discuss with Mehdi tonight — tune in on @MSNBConPeacock.
Democrats are pushing to codify abortion rights protections into federal law. But even though they control the White House and both chambers of Congress, they don't have the votes — and are unlikely to find them under Capitol Hill's current configuration. nbcnews.to/3F9rpc6

There’s a battle in the U.S. between those who *want* to address the skeletons in our closet — namely, a legacy of white supremacy and genocide of Native Americans — and those pushing to keep them locked away.
Let @mehdirhasan tell you about the similar debate in Britain:
