"It's critical that we have all of the government records, including these types of records that document the events of that day," @RepElaineLuria tells @mehdirhasan. "We plan to...get to the bottom of this."
"Very concerning": @RepElaineLuria , a member of both the Homeland Security Committee and the January 6th Committee, expresses to @mehdirhasan her interest in getting to the bottom of the report that the Secret Service deleted agents' text messages from January 6th.

ICYMI: Mehdi spoke with @PeterBeinart and @JabriMD this week about Biden's first official trip to the Middle East as commander-in-chief — and why the president is willingly meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Joe Biden earned major points during his campaign for calling out Saudi Arabia for its laundry list of abuses at home and abroad. So, @mehdirhasan asks, how can the now-president justify visiting the kingdom he once called a “pariah”?
.@mehdirhasan asks of President Biden's meeting with Saudi leaders: "Whatever we're getting form this meeting, maybe, maybe a slight fall in gas prices, is it really worth selling out the family of Jamal Khashoggi, the people of Yemen, and our own moral authority and values?"

“As a Brown Muslim...with two Brown Muslim daughters, all I could think about was, ‘I never had shows like this when I was a kid,’” @mehdirhasan tells ‘Ms. Marvel’ co-creator @MiniB622.
“It says so much about needing to have that authentic representation," she replies. Watch:

Growing up, @mehdirhasan says, Hollywood didn't know how to cover Muslims. But a new Marvel series shows why it's key to have these voices in the writers’ room: “For those who say diversity and representation is all just 'liberal token nonsense,' this is why it matters.”

A 10-year-old rape victim being denied an abortion in Ohio shows the horrific effects of state abortion bans in a post-Roe America.
But instead of owning up to those consequences, Republicans like Rep. Jim Jordan wrongfully and unapologetically tried to discredit the story:

The gas prices that helped drive inflation up are finally dropping — yet Fox is somehow saying that's bad.
"In right-wing media world, facts don’t matter," @mehdirhasan says. "All that matters is: Can what's happening in the news be spun to attack Joe Biden?"

Biden’s approval numbers are awful — esp. w/ young voters — but there’s lots he can do to save Dems from a blowout in 2024:
He must “show he’s fighting for Americans’ rights, not just complaining as [they’re] getting taken away,” @mehdirhasan says. "What are you waiting for?"

Did you know that gas prices have been *falling* over the past month? If you’ve been watching Fox, you might have had no idea…
Don’t miss @mehdirhasan’s convo with @Sulliview on @msnbconpeacock on the great disconnect between economic news and how Americans feel.

Biden’s polling numbers have hit new lows. So naturally, this is the time he’s embarking on a trip to the Middle East?
@mehdirhasan has some ideas for how he could turn things around back home — @amandalitman & @importantmeagan join on @msnbconpeacock to discuss.

.@JabriMD says two of his siblings are being held hostage in Saudi Arabia under Mohammed bin Salman’s regime.
“It’s been an ongoing mayhem for five years where a couple of teenagers had their lives and dreams robbed by the Saudi crown prince,” he tells @mehdirhasan.

“I have no problem with Joe Biden’s emotional connection to the Jewish people. As a Jew, I find it moving and appealing," @PeterBeinart tells @mehdirhasan. "But the question is, why can’t he also have a deep emotional connection – a human connection – with Palestinians?”

“I’ve lost count as to how many American presidents have visited” the Middle East, @DrHananAshrawi tells @mehdirhasan. “They haven’t made a difference because there’s a longstanding policy of total allegiance to Israel … and of attempting to silence the Palestinians.”

Biden has a decades-long relationship with Israel. But the Israel he once knew is no more, and its leaders have only become more emboldened.
@mehdirhasan asks: Do Palestinians have to keep living under a brutal occupation while U.S. presidents heap praise on their occupiers?

Many of us can parse the bad-faith notion that "a good guy with a gun” can stop "a bad guy with a gun." But most also trust that trained, armed law enforcement will stop the carnage.
In Uvalde, @mehdirhasan says, new video shows how they didn't:

Remember when Sen. Chris Coons opposed witnesses in Trump’s 2nd impeachment trial so he could get home for Valentine’s Day?
“At the time I thought that trial was inadequate. Now I know it was,” Mehdi says.

“Why does it feel like a former Oath Keeper seems to understand the gravity of this moment and what needs to be done [more] than Attorney General Merrick Garland?” @mehdirhasan asks.
“I don’t think you can say that,” @BarbaraBoxer replies.

Trump's 1/6 rhetoric, for once, was deliberate as he followed a plan to spread his 'Big Lie.' In private, his allies admitted he was responsible for the insurrection. In public, they did and said nothing.
@mehdirhasan: “Oh Trumpists, hypocrisy be thy name.”
