Fox once warned of a "constitutional crisis" if Hillary Clinton was elected president while under criminal investigation. But now that Donald Trump is running in 2024 amid multiple indictments and trials, they're singing quite a different tune.
Roll the tape!

A message to Republicans from @mehdirhasan:
Stop trying to make “BOMB MEXICO” happen.
It isn’t going to happen.
Or, at least, it *shouldn’t* happen.
For everyone else, here’s a primer on why it *might*: youtube.com/k8ZSx0h-dWE

“I cannot think of a more un-Christian politician or person,” @mehdirhasan says. So why do American evangelicals keep voting for him?
“There’s a siege mentality… a lack of confidence,” says @drmoore. “Looking for a fighter is something that fallen human nature often pursues.”

Republicans are using America’s fentanyl crisis to push for U.S. military action in Mexico against drug labs and cartels.

On Tuesday, the Biden Administration will reveal the first ten drugs selected for Medicare price negotiations – the first time that’s ever happened. It’s a move that could save taxpayers $100B.
To paraphrase the president, @mehdirhasan says, that’s a B-F-D.

Many medical experts pushing to reopen schools during the pandemic weren’t treating patients directly or witnessed first-hand the danger of COVID for children and their families.

COVID contrarians claim that closing schools was a mistake, in part because of the impact on their mental health. But that’s not what the data says at all. @mehdirhasan speaks to @tylerblack32 about one of the most pervasive myths about COVID, kids and remote learning.
