Nevada has extremist, election-denying GOP candidates running not just for Senate — but for secretary of state, too! A Jim Marchant win could have major consequences in 2024.
@RalstonReports says he may be "the most dangerous person ever" to be on a NV ballot.

There's no hiding it: Nevada GOP Senate candidate Adam Laxalt is about as extreme as they come. But, @mehdirhasan asks @natashakorecki, how did he manage to fly below the national radar?

It might be the closest race in the 2022 fight for the Senate, with the most extremist candidate.
Let @mehdirhasan introduce you to Adam Laxalt who, in his words, “has his own unique brand of scary.” WATCH:

He testified against then-President Trump during the first impeachment. And now, he’s out with a new book about his former boss.

One thing is clear: if the GOP takes Congress, democracy itself will be in serious trouble.

Is ex-Amb. Gordon Sondland the next Trump official to try and whitewash his record with a book?
“I’m not trying to distance myself...I was fully supportive of his policies," he says.
Mehdi: “You supported all his policies?…Trying to buy Greenland?”

"The political landscape is changing. Journalism needs to keep up, especially as the stakes in these elections keep getting higher," @mehdirhasan says. "But how are voters supposed to know if the media keeps letting them down?"

Most coverage would have you think this midterm election is about inflation and gas prices. It isn't. on.msnbc.com/3DSQtVD

.@Ha_Matar says Itamar Ben-Gvir is "as far right as Israeli politics currently go."
He tells @mehdirhasan: “We’ve seen people very much to the right in Israeli politics, but never someone as far as this getting such levels of legitimacy.”

Will far-right leaders like Italar Ben-Gvir in Israel’s government affect the country’s relations with the U.S.?
“I just don’t think that’s going to happen,” @dianabuttu says. “The bigger issue is whether the rest of the world is going to follow suit.”

Another round of elections, another set of even more extreme candidates. *sigh*
No, @mehdirhasan isn’t talking about the U.S. midterms. He’s talking about Israel's parliamentary elections, where Itamar Ben-Gvir and his party make MTG and Kari Lake look mild.

“It’s bizarre,” @mehdirhasan says, that Dems wouldn’t be more invested in a historically blue seat that recently flipped red. TX-34 is also “a warning sign that Dems may be taking Latino voters for granted.” Their complacency, he warns, may cause them to lose even more races.

Senate control may come down to a few neck-and-neck races. But @EdMarkey says Democrats are "doing well right now.”
“You can expect all the experts to be wondering, ‘How did the Democrats pull that off?’ And it’s going to be because people did the work in the final 7 days.”

While it’s safe to say most Republicans don’t want a ‘windfall tax’ on big oil, some Democrats — including fmr Obama Treasury Secretary Larry Summers — say it’s a bad idea.
@EdMarkey’s response to Summers? “There’s absolutely no truth to that whatsoever.” WATCH:

Everybody’s hurting from inflation, especially at the gas station.
Well, not everybody: As you pay record prices at the pump, Big Oil is reaping more profits than ever.
But there’s a plan that could bring fairness back, @mehdirhasan says… if Democrats have the will:

Not all Democrats are on board with @EdMarkey’s plan for an oil windfall tax. @LHSummers, for one, argues it will discourage investment. Not true, Markey says.
Hear the Massachusetts senator's full rebuttal, and watch his convo with @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock.

.@mehdirhasan has the craziest right-wing politician yet to tell you about—someone who’s running circles around any GOP extremist running in the midterms.

As you pay record-high prices at the gas pump, oil companies are making record profits — and that money's going straight into billionaires’ pockets.
A ‘windfall tax’ on Big Oil could fix that, says @EdMarkey, who joins @mehdirhasan to discuss: peacocktv.com/mehdi

The GOP argues political violence is a "both sides" problem. But let’s not forget that only one party is eager to downplay the significance of the threat posed by domestic violent extremists. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…
