Ron DeSantis officially launched his 2024 bid, leaning on his partisan and polarizing approach to Covid-19. But @mehdirhasan says his actual Covid record is absolutely abysmal – and we shouldn’t let DeSantis rewrite history: youtube.com/dj0s_TTArYo

.@mehdirhasan: “Here’s what I want to do to mark Kissinger’s 100th birthday: I want to talk about some of the many, many people around the world who didn’t get to live till 100, or even 60, 70, or 80, *because* of Henry Kissinger.”

It’s been 3 years since George Floyd was murdered and Minnesota Attorney General @keithellison can still recall the shock of seeing the video.

The violence in Gaza has been pointed to by Israel as a war on terror, while Palestinians claim it's about racism and colonialism. But what if it's about something else?
A new book by @antloewenstein reveals how Israeli companies are using that war to market arms abroad.

"Succession" imagines a nightmare scenario where 100,000 ballots are destroyed on election night. Would a revote be allowed if this happened in a real-life presidential race?
Election law expert @rickhasen says the scenario was "scarily real, and with no clear answer."

The latest “Succession" episode portrayed a nightmare scenario where 100,000 ballots are destroyed in an apparent arson – ballots that could decide the presidential election.
What if something like that happened in 2024? Election experts weigh in.

With the world economy in the balance, why doesn’t Pres. Biden simply take a page out of the 'Die Hard' playbook and go 'Yippee-ki-yay' on the debt-ceiling hostage takers? As @mehdirhasan points out, Biden may actually have a constitutional duty to do it.

Does the 14th amendment offer President Biden a way to ignore the debt limit and stop negotiating with Republicans over the full faith and credit of the United States?
