.@mehdirhasan has a final warning ahead of the midterms [siren emoji]:
“Vote as if democracy is on the line, as if our climate is also on the line, and as if basic human decency is on the line," he says. "Because, I hate to break it to you, it so blatantly is."

Bipartisanship with today’s GOP is “getting more difficult every day,” @DougJones tells @mehdirhasan. But it’s not impossible, he adds. “That is the only way we are able to truly get things done in this country … And I think there is room for that."

"Regardless of the results, I want everyone who's listening to know we are dealing with a radicalized, weaponized, right-wing movement. They will not stop," @WajahatAli tells Mehdi about the GOP, as Trump is now praising a foreign dictator - calling him a "president for life."

What’s at stake in the midterms?
@mehdirhasan wants you to imagine it’s Jan. 6, 2025. The GOP-controlled House & Senate have gathered to count the electoral votes, and GOP-led states have engineered a 269-269 Biden-Trump tie. Sound implausible? It’s not:
