"The sheer extent of this holiday travel disaster falls mostly at the feet of Southwest," @mehdirhasan says. But at the same time, he adds, the DOT was "warned that chaos was coming. And the action they took was too little, too late."

.@mehdirhasan has never shied away from criticizing the Senate for its utter dysfunction. The filibuster, the fake bipartisanship, the grandstanding — there's a lot to criticize!
But after this week, he’s got to give credit where it’s due: At least they’re not the House.

What went wrong w/ the Southwest Airlines crisis? Not just a broken airline industry, @WilliamJMcGee says, but a lack of regulation.
Transportation Secy. Buttigieg “has been a very big disappointment,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “He has not gotten tough with the worst offenders.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg vowed to investigate the Southwest Airlines meltdown that stranded thousands over the holidays.
But @mehdirhasan has a question for Buttigieg: Wouldn’t it have been better to try and keep this crisis from happening in the first place?

.@DeliaRamirez has a personal tie to immigration policy as she prepares to be sworn in: If Congress doesn’t act, her husband is among thousands who could face deportation.
She tells @mehdirhasan: “He has heard the promises for a very long time. And he hasn’t seen any progress."

At the start of a new Congress, what was House Republicans’ first order of business? It wasn’t electing a speaker, @mehdirhasan says. Nope. In the GOP-majority House, it was saying goodbye to safety, reason and common sense. WATCH:

Climate activist Greta Thunberg may have owned social media personality Andrew Tate in a now-viral Twitter exchange. But engaging with "creepy, horrid" trolls like Tate play right into their hands, @jsrailton says: “He was doing great marketing … [and] executing on a strategy.”

As the saying goes, "Don’t feed the trolls." But what are you supposed to do, @mehdirhasan asks, when one of those trolls is one of the richest people in the world *and* the owner of a hugely influential communications platform? What’s a Twitter-addicted journalist to do?

Since his Twitter takeover, Elon Musk’s popularity and influence has exploded — and that’s posed a bit of a problem for the media.
How do we cover Musk without strengthening his dangerous rhetoric? Watch @MollyJongFast and @jsrailton discuss w/ @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock.

Dysfunctional, divided, in disarray — no matter your word of choice, one thing remains the same: the Grand Old Party has become a joke.

House Republicans are in a state of chaos with the conference unable to elect a speaker. Should Democrats just sit back and watch the dysfunction, or is there room to capitalize on the crisis?

.@DavidJollyFL says the House GOP’s chaotic speaker vote is “very telling of the state of the party."
“We have one chamber of our bicameral legislature that is now not functioning,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “That creates an image of instability across the world stage.”

The new GOP majority Congress has been in chaos from the start. As @mehdirhasan points out, “This is what happens when the GOP as a whole becomes a party of extremists and nihilists.”
One thing is clear, Mehdi adds: “The Republican Party is broken.”
