.@mehdirhasan: Does U.S. media know how to cover today’s GOP?
“Media’s role…is not to just stand by and be objective, but to tell the truth,” @nayyeroar says. “But the damage has already been done when objectivity ended up being code for a white, male, Christian perspective.”

Kevin McCarthy's first order of business isn’t governing — it’s revenge. But make no mistake about his vow to purge three Democrats from their committees, @mehdirhasan says: Only one party actually cares about addressing hatred within its ranks, and it definitely is not the GOP.

Kevin McCarthy’s first order of business as House speaker isn’t governing — it’s plotting his revenge on Dems. And Republicans’ whataboutism is on full display.

"Ron DeSantis and his conservative cadre of ‘reeducation ministers’ don’t want these institutions to be better. They want them to be theirs. And to do it, they are willing to destroy higher education."

When your governor has declared a war on "woke" education, why, as a teacher, would you want to stay in Florida?
“The students...they need this type of education,” UCF professor @j_mcox tells @mehdirhasan. “We know that they’re not getting accurate or full accounts of history.”

From phony election police to a war on science, @mehdirhasan has told you all about the many far-right authoritarian dangers posed by Ron DeSantis.
But now, Florida's GOP governor is scaring teachers out of teaching. And Mehdi’s calling this what it is: an attack on democracy.

Nearly a month after Twitter suspended @drewharwell and other journalists who were reporting on Elon Musk, many still don’t have access to their accounts — and won’t unless they delete the tweets that got them booted.
“We’re not doing that," Harwell tells @mehdirhasan. WATCH:

There are many parallels between the violent riots in Brazil and D.C. But @mehdirhasan can’t stop thinking about how neither could've happened without right-wing organizers rallying support on platforms like Twitter — and what Elon Musk's role is now that he owns it:

“Asylum is a human right...We have to keep getting away from this myth that if we crack down...people will not flee when their lives are at risk.”
@ReichlinMelnick tells @mehdirhasan the Biden admin should expand alternate pathways to asylum, but asylum must remain an option.

The Biden admin asked SCOTUS to lift Title 42, and now they’re expanding it instead. Are they trying to have it both ways?
“He has been using this to appease the Republican side,” @ErikaAndiola tells @mehdirhasan. “He needs to get rid of it.”

The Covid-19 pandemic is over, right? I mean, that’s what the Biden administration said!
So, @mehdirhasan wonders, how is it that this same administration is expanding Title 42 — a controversial Covid border policy invoked by Trump — after they tried to end it?

In the days since Brazil’s ‘copycat’ insurrection, we’ve learned lots of the organizing happened on Twitter, much like our own 1/6.
Is the site protecting our freedom of speech, or paving the way for violence? Watch @drewharwell discuss w/ @mehdirhasan: peacocktv.com/mehdi

How can a pandemic be over…but also not over?
The Biden administration can’t seem to make up its mind when it comes to Title 42 — and @ErikaAndiola and @ReichlinMelnick join @mehdirhasan to help break things down. Don’t miss their conversation on @MSNBConPeacock.

With wannabe authoritarian Gov. Ron DeSantis's war on campus free speech, "the temptation to want to leave Florida must be immense," @mehdirhasan says.
Why stay? The students, @j_mcox says: "They need this information."
