Obama’s former speechwriter @codykeenan says idealistic words from the president really do matter: "They don’t necessarily change minds on their own, they don’t make everything better on their own, but a president…can give us something to reach for."

The U.S. has slapped sanctions on Iranian officials and entities over their crackdown of women-led protests. Were those sanctions a good move?

Iranian women have long been at the forefront of social change in their country. But in recent weeks, they’ve led an unprecedented counter-revolution that the world has, perhaps, never seen before. @mehdirhasan says it is far from over.
Here's where protests stand 40 days in:

Why are we downplaying the threat to democracy posed by extremist GOP candidates?
“I don’t know, is the truth,” @MollyJongFast tells @mehdirhasan. “In my mind, it seems like that should be the most important issue.” WATCH:

Why are Democrats talking about "kitchen table" issues instead of the threat to democracy?
“I just want [them]…to bring, finally, a knife to a knife fight and not just bring a pencil,” @WajahatAli says.

Kash Patel, a former Trump Defense Department official, was deputized by the ex-president to be his representative with the National Archives in the Mar-a-Lago document scandal.

A new documentary explores the Muslim-American experience in the last 30 years — and director @naushero says 9/11 and the 2016 elections served as “origins” for the film: “I wanted to become a filmmaker in order to have better representation of my community."

They say "all press is good press." But is that still true for climate activists throwing food on famous paintings?
"Activists have been trying for decades to get attention to these issues and we’ve been ignored," @ClimateHuman says. "These activists are trying something new."

It's true, @mehdihasan says, maybe we do need a bit of a disruption when it comes to saving our planet.
But with activists throwing food at priceless paintings, even those who want to see the climate addressed are asking: At what point is all publicity not good publicity?

When Trump’s inner circle is at the forefront of a right-wing roadshow, it "grants this movement...a real political legitimacy," @pastpunditry says:
"Where that leads is anybody’s guess," she says, but "there’s no reason to believe it won’t lead to violence in the future."

A pro-Trump speaker at a far-right event warned the “angel of death” is coming for people like Brad Raffensperger, Joe Biden and prominent reporters— which earned “rapturous applause,” @letsgomathias says.
He tells @mehdirhasan organizers "didn't care" when he raised concerns.

Activists have recently thrown food onto priceless paintings to highlight the climate crisis. But even some who want climate action are wondering: is the negative publicity hurting the cause?
@ClimateHuman joins @mehdirhasan to debate the tactic — watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

What if the ex-president spoke at a Christian nationalist conference that spewed QAnon conspiracies & violent, hate-filled rhetoric and barely anyone noticed?
