How can Democrats push back against an increasingly extremist GOP? @Milbank tells @mehdirhasan, "it's an asymmetric fight because the Democrats are playing by the traditional rules, and those rules have been tossed out the window by Republicans."

What would the Republican party look like after Trump? In his new book, @Milbank notes that Trump is a symptom and not the cause of the party's decades-long tilt toward extremism, a journey that will continue with or without Trump.

Could a former American president ever see the inside of a prison cell, @mehdirhasan asks.
“I’m very skeptical,” @Milbank says. But “if we don't have the rule of law, we don't have anything else.”

YouTube is a big driver of disinfo & can lead to radicalization. But it's not just the algorithm, “We're talking about scale,” director @Winter tells @mehdirhasan. It has to "deal with making the enormous amounts of money they’re making… & what’s going on in our world.”

Liz Cheney may lose her job in Tuesday’s WY GOP House primary. But it shouldn’t be shocking, given how “the Cheneys have always used Wyoming,” says @NicholsUprising: “Dick Cheney wasn't born there. Liz Cheney wasn't born there.”

Liz Cheney is on track to lose her House seat in Tuesday's primary. And while @mehdirhasan appreciates her work investigating 1/6, he notes "she spent years adding to the GOP's cynicism & xenophobia, back when Trump was still obsessing over his Celebrity Apprentice ratings"

@TaraSetmayer calls Republicans “profiles in cowardice” for not calling out far-right violence and threats against the FBI after last week’s Mar-a-Lago search.

We've seen it time and again: Trump's violent rhetoric has inspired physical violence. And as @mehdirhasan explains, when the right doesn't call Trump out on it, when they pretend to ignore the consequences of his words, they clear the way for further violence.

The Inflation Reduction Act is a big win for Democrats ahead of the midterms. But voters won't see much of the benefit from it for years. @RepSusanWild tells @MehdiRHasan that she knows it can be frustrating for people but "this is how progress is made." WATCH:

Could the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago actually help Trump in 2024?

Back in 2016, Donald Trump said “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” But his view has clearly changed, based on his performance during his NY deposition. @thelisagraves tells @MehdiRHasan why she thinks this could be the "final meltdown" of Donald Trump.

The FBI and DHS are warning threats against law enforcement have spiked since the Mar-a-Lago search warrant. So, the question is, is Donald Trump inciting domestic terrorism?
@OliviaTroye thinks so, telling @MehdiRHasan “These people have found their leader in him.”

"In my head I'm picturing a telepathic battle between Donald Trump and Barack Obama on some astral plane, trying to classify, declassify documents," @MehdiRHasan says to @OakCliffLawyer of a GOP argument that former Presidents can declassify information simply with their thoughts
