ICYMI: The cost of insulin in the U.S. is much higher than it is in many other countries. Just look at the graph below!
So, @mehdirhasan asks, even if insulin isn’t free like the fake Eli Lilly Twitter account claimed, shouldn’t it still be cheaper? youtube.com/watch?v=zaRB8CNG…

Dems just earned a near-clean sweep of the most brazen and dangerous election-denying candidates. So can democracy breathe a sigh of relief? Not quite.
Watch @MsPackyetti, @SykesCharlie and election law expert Richard Briffault discuss with @mehdirhasan: youtube.com/watch?v=yWIc4OJ8…
As the dust settles, how many non-incumbent election deniers won gubernatorial races this year? Literally none. (via @MaddowBlog) on.msnbc.com/3hxWcHF

Big Pharma and insurance companies are raking in huge profits from exorbitant insulin prices — money that they’re donating to candidates in DC.
“It’s protection money,” @wendellpotter tells @mehdirhasan. WATCH:

“We know we’re being ripped off,” @awgaffney tells @mehdirhasan. “We need to make this medication available to all who need it without cost barriers.”

Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly is among the latest to suffer from Elon Musk's chaotic Twitter verification system. But "Let’s focus on the real issue at stake," @mehdirhasan says. "What can we actually do to lower insulin costs?”

It's likely that Kevin McCarthy will be the next Speaker, and “one of the weakest speakers we’ve ever seen,” @SykesCharlie says.
"Imagine somebody as untalented as [him] trying to run the House … when you know that you have an emboldened nutcase caucus," he tells @mehdirhasan.

Law professor Richard Briffault says democracy can breathe a "medium-sized sigh of relief" after the midterms. "We’ve got to keep our eyes on the electoral system, particularly at the local level."
But that stack of papers on his desk is making us a little bit nervous...

Pundits said the midterms would be a referendum on the economy. Dems ignored that advice and campaign on a message of democracy and women’s rights. “Americans absolutely do care about our most fundamental rights,” @MsPackyetti tells @mehdirhasan.

.@brahmresnik says it was a “really big mistake” for Kari Lake to denigrate the late Sen. John McCain during her failed gubernatorial bid.
“John McCain was respected in Arizona on both sides of the aisle,” he tells @mehdirhasan.

In every key swing state, every Trump-backed, election-denying candidate running for governor, attorney general or secretary of state lost. Every. Single. One.
So, by @mehdirhasan's logic, doesn’t that make Donald Trump… a loser?

If you've been watching Twitter implode this week, you've likely seen the parody account that promised free insulin. And it raises a great question: Why does this vital drug cost so much in the U.S.?

Mike Pence is *finally* addressing that awkward issue of his ex-boss almost getting him killed on 1/6. But you know who else might be part of the problem? The former VP himself, Mehdi says:
“Waiting almost two years to speak out...to sell a book? That's no profile in courage.”

.@Monasosh is urging Biden to place more pressure on Egypt over the detention of her brother and other political prisoners.
“[The] U.S. claims...they are not allowing anymore blank checks to Trump’s favorite dictator,” she says. “In reality, everything is business as usual."

Tens of thousands of political prisoners are behind bars in Egypt, and @mehdirhasan has a question for Joe Biden amid his apparent chumminess with the man responsible, authoritarian leader Abdel Fattah El-Sisi: “What happened to democracy vs. autocracy, Mr. President?”

“It’s weeks past Halloween, but the midterm elections still managed to raise some political careers from the dead. Let’s call them zombie politicians,” @mehdirhasan says. “And just because they may not want to eat your brains doesn’t mean they aren’t scary.” WATCH:

“I’ll never understand why” Democrats didn’t advance a bill banning partisan gerrymandering while they had a trifecta, @davedaley3 tells @mehdirhasan: “I think that was a massive miscalculation… This is a missed opportunity.” WATCH:

If Republicans hold a slim House majority, it’ll be because of gerrymandering, @mjs_dc tells @mehdirhasan: “[It] will be entirely attributable to the fact that the Supreme Court put the Voting Rights Act on hold and greenlit all these extreme racial gerrymanders in the South.”
