Ex-Trump official @MilesTaylorUSA explains to @MehdiRHasan just how close the U.S. came to nuclear war with North Korea during the Trump administration:
“That [was the] first time in the history of the DHS that it had a real-life preparation for a potential nuclear strike.”

Trump and his allies are making authoritarian plans for his second term like a “Bond” villain – right in plain sight. But @MehdiRHasan asks, if this is what they’re saying in public, shouldn’t we also be concerned about what they’re planning behind closed doors?

It's a tale of two Espionage Act cases.
While Trump allies cry foul over his indictment under that law, @mehdirhasan says Trump's case is not one where it's being abused. To understand why, you need to understand the story of whistleblower Daniel Hale: youtube.com/GPTGKQm2sU0

Rep. Pramila Jayapal is facing bipartisan backlash after calling Israel a “racist state” during remarks last weekend. Jayapal apologized, but @mehdirhasan looks at the Israeli government's own policies and asks: how would you characterize those policies?

Could Joe Biden face a third-party challenge from fellow Democrat Joe Manchin and the “No Labels” movement?
@SenMarkey tells Mehdi he’s worried that dark money groups are helping fund the movement, which could ultimately "siphon" off Biden votes in crucial 2024 swing states.

Could a tax on private jet travel curb global warming? @SenMarkey thinks so. That's why he introduced the "FATCAT Act." But @mehdirhasan asks, will it ever pass when those same private jet owners are major donors to both parties?

While Biden “deserves credit” for radically reducing drone strikes, @jeremyscahill tells @mehdirhasan “Pandora is out of the box” when it comes to drone use around the world, all because of the U.S. legacy.

When it comes to the use or even abuse of the Espionage Act, Drone Papers reporter @jeremyscahill tells @mehdirhasan "you can't compare Donald Trump to [drone whistleblower] Daniel Hale."
He explains how Hale "paid the price for Donald Trump’s ego."

Don’t call RFK Jr. a “political maverick” or “vaccine skeptic.” As @mehdirhasan notes, his anti-vaccine effort has real-life consequences. For proof, just look at the 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa, where dozens of children died thanks to an anti-vaccine movement Kennedy boosted.

Nowhere has President Biden’s foreign policy rhetoric failed to match his actual foreign policy more clearly than in Israel and the occupied territories, @mehdirhasan says, where the U.S. simply stood by Israel after its deadly incursion in Jenin.
