A deadly shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs has left five dead and dozens injured. And if we’re going to talk about hate crimes, we have to talk about hate speech, too, @mehdirhasan says, because the rise in anti-LGBTQ violence isn't happening in a vacuum.

Is there any long-term benefit from the conservative Supreme Court losing its legitimacy?
“In the short term, it’s very scary, very terrifying,” @importantmeagan tells @mehdirhasan. But in the long term, there may be a silver lining, she says. WATCH:

Four of the five SCOTUS justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade were warmly welcomed at a Federalist Society gala in D.C. this month, and it signals a "larger effort to lobby these Republican justices [that's] been happening in plain sight,” @brianefallon tells @mehdirhasan.

What do you get when you have a majority-conservative SCOTUS, @mehdirhasan asks?
• A justice accused of leaking a ruling to donors
• A court that all-but gave the GOP the House
• A justice whose wife backed efforts to overturn an election
• Illegitimacy
• All of the above

After a deadly shooting at an LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs, we have to talk about the rise in anti-LGBTQ speech and policies across the country, plus the political party that consistently pushes the rhetoric.

All eyes have been on Capitol Hill for the midterms and their aftermath. But, @mehdirhasan says, we can’t ignore some of D.C.'s most powerful *unelected* officials & their total lack of legitimacy.

After the Club Q shooting, @bjoewolf tells @mehdirhasan he's "heartbroken" and "furious": "Those innocent people…had to pay the ultimate price for unbridled, unmitigated hate in this country. It makes me sick to my stomach."

Republicans are doubling down on their extremism even after their poor performance in the midterms. But this is nothing new.
@MehdiRHasan brings the receipts on the GOP’s years of refusing to learn their lesson on losing elections due to their extremist rhetoric.

From Elizabeth Holmes to Elon Musk, it’s been a bad week for the so-called “genius billionaires.” In tonight’s #minirant @MehdiRHasan tells us how their image has been shattered in only a matter of days. Start the clock!

Some establishment Republicans still won’t rule out their support of Trump in 2024, while others say they are “never-again Trumpers” because they don’t think he will win. “It's only about power for these Republicans, it's rarely about principle,” @AymanM tells @MehdiRHasan.

If Trump was not a former president, would he have already been indicted?
“I’ve always believed that even a sitting president can be indicted,” @JillWineBanks tells @MehdiRHasan. “It needs to be done now.”

The fact that Donald Trump, a disgraced, twice-impeached ex-President, can run for a second term is a massive indictment of this country’s political and legal systems, says @MehdiRHasan. It’s also a reminder of just how broken so much of the American media is, too.

Wisconsin democrats barely kept the GOP from getting a supermajority in the state legislature. How did Republicans get so much power? Gerrymandering.
“By some measures, Wisconsin is the most gerrymandered state,” @benwikler says. “But we managed to stop them.”

Republicans took back the House due to gerrymandering. But it's nowhere near as bad as how GOP redistricting has undercut democracy in state legislatures.
Let @mehdirhasan tell you about Wisconsin, where Dems are winning statewide races but Republicans still call the shots:

A state holiday that once honored Confederate general Robert E. Lee’s birthday is cited as a reason Saturday voting ahead of the Georgia Senate runoff has been barred.
“That’s not for voter fraud, but it is to suppress Black, Brown and young voters,” @jamalhbryant says. WATCH:
