“We have not risen to the moment at all,” @jemelehill says of journalists in the age of Trump and far-right extremism:

It’s not an exaggeration: Democracy “is on the brink, if not…something that has already slipped away from us,” @jemelehill says. “You have one [party] that still believes in democracy, and the other one who…really wants to usher in a state of authoritarianism.” WATCH:

You know the conventional wisdom: A midterm election is almost always framed as a referendum on the president and the party in power. So what does this mean for Joe Biden, a president who's deeply unpopular despite his administration’s accomplishments?

If El*n Musk’s Twitter content moderation council actually forms, would Musk ever let the group take down one of his own tweets?
“I think we both know that’s not going to happen,” @oneunderscore__ tells @mehdirhasan. “He can do whatever he wants … We’re in for a wild ride.”

You may have missed this amid an onslaught of news under new owner El*n Musk: Twitter users could face monthly fees to stay verified.
That's just the start of Musk's Twitter issues, Mehdi says. But it seems "the self-styled 'Chief Twit' just wants to tweet his way through it."

Republicans seem to have difficulty condemning political violence from its base. But would it even matter at this point if party leaders did so more forcefully?

“Republicans can’t speak out against” death threats they’ve gotten from Trump supporters bc “it’s coming from people on their side of the aisle,” @mehdirhasan says.
“Republicans have lost the courage to call this domestic terror threat what it really is: a right-wing problem.”
