This week, Donald Trump said that the Constitution should be thrown out. “If Barack Obama, if Hillary Clinton, if Joe Biden said something like that, the right would be having a meltdown right now and talking about impeachment or something,” @kurtbardella tells @MehdiRHasan

Donald Trump is insisting he isn’t a white supremacist despite the fact his administration issued a statement for 2017 Holocaust Remembrance Day that left out Jewish people.

“Being trans in 2022, it’s a challenge," @ParkerMolloy tells @mehdirhasan. "There’s not really a good-faith attempt on the right to find some sort of common ground ... It feels the best that any of us can do is to tread water."

Amid rising hate and violence, it's more important than ever to call out the right's anti-trans policies and rhetoric.
"This isn’t about bathrooms or team sports or healthcare," @mehdirhasan says. "It’s about standing in solidarity with a marginalized and under-fire community."

America is touted as being the greatest country in the world. But when it comes to employee benefits and workers’ rights, you’d be shocked at just how abysmal the United States is when compared to other countries.

Herschel Walker “absolutely should” lose his Senate race in Georgia, @TaraSetmayer says, and she’s “confident that he will lose.”
She tells @mehdirhasan: “He is an unmitigated, ignorant, unstable, unqualified candidate and would be an embarrassment to the people of Georgia.”

.@TaraSetmayer says Kevin McCarthy’s handling of the fringe GOP "should be concerning to the American people": "If anyone thinks there’s actually going to be a governing coalition w/ [him] at the head of it...good luck," she tells @mehdirhasan. “It’s going to be a circus."

Kevin McCarthy is desperately trying to keep his conference together as he makes his bid for speaker in a razor-thin, majority-Republican House — and it’s clear he’s struggling, @mehdirhasan says.
@JulianCastro adds: “What they have here is a total dumpster fire.” WATCH:
