The BA.5 subvariant is now dominant among U.S. Covid cases. One expert calls it “the worst version of the virus that we’ve seen.”
“I’ve said it before," @mehdirhasan warns, but "I am forced to say it again: You may be done with Covid, but Covid is certainly not done with you."

Amid the rise of a new Omicron subvariant, @mehdirhasan asks: Isn’t it the government’s job to protect citizens from Covid?
“The CDC has slowed down its guidance ... and it needs to ramp it back up," Dr. @Bob_Wachter says. “But I think the days for mandates are passed."

Trump has been the head of the MAGA movement, but could FL Gov. Ron DeSantis be its future leader?
“Trump has served as that person. He doesn’t necessarily always have to serve as that person," @tina_nguyen tells @mehdirhasan. He “doesn’t have the voice that he used to."

.@Timodc says there's a rising faction of the GOP that's "neo-fascist," "sociopathic" and "openly bigoted." But just as concerning are "all these other folks… letting groups like the Proud Boys take over."

Did you see the pro-Proud Boys op-ed…penned by a Proud Boy's wife?

So remember that interview last week that Ben Smith did with Tucker Carlson?
Tonight on the @MehdiHasanShow, I did a deep-dive into Carlson's answers (evasions?), his actual views, and what I would have asked him had I done the interview.

Good-faith actors appear fundamentally unequipped to challenge Tucker Carlson and his escalating bigotry. @MehdiRHasan makes the case for how press outlets *should* cover the Fox host’s conspiracy- and hate-mongering going forward. WATCH:

How much more Trump-related trauma can the country endure?
“Well, unfortunately we have no choice,” @MaryLTrump tells @MehdiRHasan. But she warns not holding him accountable will “lead to more division and I believe the end of American democracy.”

The far-right WI Supreme Court justices who just banned most drop boxes, compared their use in elections to totalitarian regimes in North Korea, Cuba, and Syria. It’s absurd.
“And if you think this is just a Wisconsin problem,” says @MehdiRHasan, “Think again.” WATCH:
