"In the meantime, [Ginni Thomas'] husband remains on the highest court in the nation, ruling on cases not just related to the 2020 election, but cases that could change how our elections are conducted going forward," @mehdirhasan says. "That should be a national scandal."
Mehdi Hasan: "Ginni Thomas' name appears in the January 6th committee's final report exactly...zero times...The wife of a sitting Supreme Court justice being involved in an attempt to undo a free and fair election...somehow that doesn't merit a spot." on.msnbc.com/3QaxryG

For someone who says he cares a lot about background checks and vetting, George Santos seems to be qualified at one thing: lying about his qualifications.
Just how many lies are on the GOP congressman-elect's resume? Give @mehdirhasan 60 seconds to tell you:

On the first day of the new Congress, the incoming House Republican majority is starting with "an ugly street fight" over who should be speaker. The more Kevin McCarthy begs for votes, the less it appears to be working. (via MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

For Palestinians, Israel’s new far-right govt “doesn’t make a huge amount of difference,” @PeterBeinart says. He tells @mehdirhasan: “Palestinians see no hope for gaining basic rights.”

Amid the fixation on the start of the 118th Congress, @mehdirhasan says we can't gloss over Israel’s new ultra right-wing government and its members who “make our GOP look like a UC Berkeley a cappella team.”
Let him explain:

In 2021 there was Marjorie Taylor Greene.
In 2019 there was Greg Gianforte.
There’s always one.
So which Republican will it be this time around, @mehdirhasan asks, who represents for better or worse (mostly for worse) what the party has become? WATCH:

Hope Hicks complained in now-public texts that her former boss made his team “look like domestic terrorists” on 1/6. But @RinainDC isn’t buying it.
She tells @mehdirhasan: “She knew what kind of man she worked for … [and] you’re not honorable when you’re near [Trump.]”

The Jan. 6 committee’s interview transcripts confirm what we all but knew for certain: The “best friend” in Ginni Thomas’s released texts is none other than her SCOTUS justice husband — and her outright concession was "remarkable," @mjs_dc tells @mehdirhasan. WATCH:

Despite everything Ginni Thomas told the 1/6 committee, her name appears in the panel’s final report exactly zero times.
Meanwhile, @mehdirhasan warns, her husband still sits on SCOTUS — and is ruling on high-stakes elections cases.

Extremists now hold powerful positions in the Israeli government. But what does that mean for the United States? A lot.
@PeterBeinart joins @mehdirhasan to discuss what some are calling the most right-wing government in Israel’s history. Tune in: peacocktv.com/mehdi

We all left things behind in 2022, @mehdirhasan included. But we can’t start the new year without mentioning a certain SCOTUS justice’s wife, who somehow escaped any culpability by the now-defunct 1/6 panel.
Don't miss Mehdi's convo w/ @mjs_dc and @RinainDC on @MSNBConPeacock.

The 1/6 panel's file dump includes revealing texts from some of Trump’s top allies, like White House aide Hope Hicks.
@RinainDC’s take: “It tells you exactly who these people are and who they’ve always been.”

“Women did save democracy in many ways...[but] Black women have been the canaries in the mine,” @Dr_CMGreer tells @mehdirhasan about stopping the “red wave in the 2022 midterms, “alerting the country and the world as to the dangers that lie ahead.”

2022 saw a wave of women worldwide protesting for their freedoms — and even in the midst of violent crackdowns, @mehdirhasan says, they’re showing no sign of slowing down. “Women everywhere are saying, ‘Our bodies are ours. Our choices are ours. Enough is enough.’”

When Russia launched its brutal invasion into Ukraine, the forecasts were bleak for Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his country. But the Ukrainians upended that narrative, much to the surprise of @juliaioffe and @lieven_anatol.
Hear what they had to say to @mehdirhasan:

.@PatRyanUC tells @mehdirhasan that bipartisanship can’t coexist with an existential threat to democracy: "I took an oath…to support and defend our Constitution ... And when there are domestic threats to the sanctity of our Constitution … we have to call them out."

It’s been quite a year in news, but the biggest story on this show has been the threat to American democracy.
But as @mehdirhasan reminds us, the election deniers, conspiracy theorists and fascists who pose that threat will still be here in 2023:

.@Sulliview spoke to @mehdirhasan in October about how the news media is “overly responsive to criticism from the right” in its quest to be seen as “fair and unbiased.”
“Democracy and anti-democracy are not equal things," she said, "and they shouldn’t be treated as such.”
