Mike Pence is *finally* addressing that awkward issue of his ex-boss almost getting him killed on 1/6. But you know who else might be part of the problem? The former VP himself, Mehdi says:
“Waiting almost two years to speak out...to sell a book? That's no profile in courage.”

.@Monasosh is urging Biden to place more pressure on Egypt over the detention of her brother and other political prisoners.
“[The] U.S. claims...they are not allowing anymore blank checks to Trump’s favorite dictator,” she says. “In reality, everything is business as usual."

“It’s weeks past Halloween, but the midterm elections still managed to raise some political careers from the dead. Let’s call them zombie politicians,” @mehdirhasan says. “And just because they may not want to eat your brains doesn’t mean they aren’t scary.” WATCH:

“I’ll never understand why” Democrats didn’t advance a bill banning partisan gerrymandering while they had a trifecta, @davedaley3 tells @mehdirhasan: “I think that was a massive miscalculation… This is a missed opportunity.” WATCH:

If Republicans hold a slim House majority, it’ll be because of gerrymandering, @mjs_dc tells @mehdirhasan: “[It] will be entirely attributable to the fact that the Supreme Court put the Voting Rights Act on hold and greenlit all these extreme racial gerrymanders in the South.”

What if @mehdirhasan told you that the GOP had won the fight for the House before a single vote was cast — that a Republican majority in the chamber was practically preordained? All due, Mehdi says, to the power of gerrymandering.

While democracy won on the midterm ballot and many election deniers lost their races, Dems may still lose House control due to GOP gerrymandering.

If Republicans win a slim House majority after all midterm ballots are counted, is it safe to say gerrymandering got them that majority? “Of course,” @mjs_DC says. “It’s demonstrably true.”

"Calling out Republican extremism - on voting rights, on abortion rights worked," @mehdirhasan says in Sunday's monologue about "astonishingly good" midterm election results that've been "better than almost anyone imagined." But will Democratic leaders remember that clear lesson?

Ron DeSantis won by 19 points this week. That's big, especially considering he's dedicated his time as Governor to demonizing queer kids and lobbing Venezuelan migrants across the country. However, as @mehdirhasan notes, several purple state Democrats arguably outperformed him.

.@MariaTeresa explains that she has never been worried about the Latino vote & Dems: “Latinos came out. We’re going to see when the dust settles. I’m waiting for these headlines from The NY Times that say the Latino vote is the one that won Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania.”
