Nancy Pelosi has undoubtedly been the most consequential speaker of our lifetimes. But despite her image as a resistance hero, a new book detailed her slow-walking of both Trump impeachments — and @mehdirhasan spoke to its authors in October:

A lot of reporters caught flak this year for saving huge revelations about Donald Trump for their books.
@SteveSchmidtSES and @speechboy71 made their cases to @mehdirhasan about where these journalists are going wrong — or if they are at all:

In May, @mehdirhasan spoke to @WendellPierce about what changed in the nearly two years since George Floyd’s murder.

Republicans constantly attack Democrats for not being “tough on crime.” Does Batman’s vigilante persona feed into that narrative? “It really depends,” @swin24 says.

NERD ALERT: The online debate over whether Bruce Wayne’s money would be better spent on social programs instead of his alter ego has gone on for ages. So is it time for Gotham’s hero to hang up his Batsuit?

America’s billionaires are out of control. But one of those billionaires always seems to escape being looped in with the likes of Musk and Bezos: Bruce Wayne. And while @mehdirhasan has a soft spot for the Dark Knight, he says it’s time Gotham got a new hero:

House Dems will release Donald Trump’s long-sought-after tax returns. And while it may be a few years late, the ex-president “did not get away with not showing the American public his taxes,” @DelPercioS says: “It always catches up to you."

"Andor" tells the story of a rebel hero — but it also spotlights everyday people facing oppression, @mehdirhasan says.
Lightsabers are "undeniably cool. But...everyone can’t be a Jedi,” @tracycbrown says. In this show, "we finally see people we can really relate with.”

The new Star Wars spinoff ‘Andor’ is a hit, and that could be because it’s more poli-sci than sci-fi, @mehdirhasan says.
“It’s a middle finger to authoritarianism and fascism in a moment where the world is confronting these forces, politically and culturally,” @WajahatAli says:
