It seems odd for a scandal-plagued former president to effectively say, “There’s reason to believe that I committed a variety of felonies, so you should definitely give me more of your money.”
But Trump did, and it's working. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

“Perhaps nowhere is the Orwellian nature of the DeSantis approach to politics better illustrated than his treatment of @AndrewWarrenFL”, says @mehdirhasan of the twice-elected Dem. Tampa prosecutor suspended by GOP Gov. DeSantis for, well, not believing what DeSantis believes:

Should George W. Bush and Dick Cheney be forgiven for the Iraq War because they’re against Trump?

"The IRA is not so much a bill to address inflation and climate change, Republicans say, as a legislative Trojan Horse designed to award Joe Biden -- Dark Brandon, himself -- a personal Praetorian Guard," @mehdirhasan says about the latest GOP lunacy around militarizing the IRS:

Not all Democrats are fighting back against GOP nonsense the way @RepSwalwell does. He tells @MehdiRHasan that he believes Democrats have to do better “because it’s existential” and he’s “afraid that never before has it all been on the line.” WATCH:

After consistently trailing Democrat Mandela Barnes in midterm polls, Wisconsin GOP Senator Ron Johnson is trying to “rebrand” before November. But @mehdirhasan isn’t quite ready to move on from Johnson’s anti-science, anti-democratic words. Here are the receipts.

How did a “peace Democrat” like Tulsi Gabbard end up guest-hosting for Tucker Carlson?
Actually, @mehdirhasan says, it’s a meeting of the illiberal minds, and a boon for the far right’s aim of defining who’s a “good” leftist… and who’s not.

“When the president does it, that means that it’s not illegal.” That’s what Pres. Nixon told David Frost in 1977. @mehdirhasan warns that in 2022, even Democrats have internalized that way of thinking when it comes to Donald Trump.

Student loan forgiveness sounds great, but people often ask: who will pay for it? Former Ohio state senator @ninaturner explains why she says it should be part of our “social contract.”

As Vermont’s sole congressman, @PeterWelch fought to get at least some prescription price benefits into the Inflation Reduction Act.
As a Senate candidate, he vows to @mehdirhasan that he’ll take more action on medical costs… and on the Senate filibuster.

The anger and ire on the right following the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago has spurred unprecedented warnings of real violence. GOP politicians and right-wing media hosts must know that it’s reckless, but there are no signs that they’ll calm the rhetoric.
