"People died, and [Trump] could've stopped it. And he failed to do that," @BarbMcQuade tells @mehdirhasan. "That's a manslaughter case."
Building on the January 6th Committee's explanation that Donald Trump did not act to stop the attack on the Capitol when he could have, @BarbMcQuade explains how she arrives as the idea that Trump could be prosecuted for manslaughter.

"We know that they're listening. We know that they're watching," @RepElaineLuria says of the DOJ. "As an American, I want to have faith in the fact that they're going to take the information that we're putting out there as the committee, and they're going to act on it."
.@RepElaineLuria tells @mehdirhasan that while she can't speak on criminal referrals from the January 6th Committee, personally she agrees with her colleagues who say the DOJ now has enough material to start a criminal investigation.

"It's critical that we have all of the government records, including these types of records that document the events of that day," @RepElaineLuria tells @mehdirhasan. "We plan to...get to the bottom of this."
"Very concerning": @RepElaineLuria , a member of both the Homeland Security Committee and the January 6th Committee, expresses to @mehdirhasan her interest in getting to the bottom of the report that the Secret Service deleted agents' text messages from January 6th.

.@RepElaineLuria uses the phrase "first series of hearings" in answering @mehdirhasan on whether next Thursday's is the last January 6th hearing."The prospect for hearings is not over until our investigation is complete, and it's certainly not complete."

Joe Biden earned major points during his campaign for calling out Saudi Arabia for its laundry list of abuses at home and abroad. So, @mehdirhasan asks, how can the now-president justify visiting the kingdom he once called a “pariah”?
.@mehdirhasan asks of President Biden's meeting with Saudi leaders: "Whatever we're getting form this meeting, maybe, maybe a slight fall in gas prices, is it really worth selling out the family of Jamal Khashoggi, the people of Yemen, and our own moral authority and values?"

“As a Brown Muslim...with two Brown Muslim daughters, all I could think about was, ‘I never had shows like this when I was a kid,’” @mehdirhasan tells ‘Ms. Marvel’ co-creator @MiniB622.
“It says so much about needing to have that authentic representation," she replies. Watch:

Growing up, @mehdirhasan says, Hollywood didn't know how to cover Muslims. But a new Marvel series shows why it's key to have these voices in the writers’ room: “For those who say diversity and representation is all just 'liberal token nonsense,' this is why it matters.”

A 10-year-old rape victim being denied an abortion in Ohio shows the horrific effects of state abortion bans in a post-Roe America.
But instead of owning up to those consequences, Republicans like Rep. Jim Jordan wrongfully and unapologetically tried to discredit the story:

The gas prices that helped drive inflation up are finally dropping — yet Fox is somehow saying that's bad.
"In right-wing media world, facts don’t matter," @mehdirhasan says. "All that matters is: Can what's happening in the news be spun to attack Joe Biden?"

Biden’s approval numbers are awful — esp. w/ young voters — but there’s lots he can do to save Dems from a blowout in 2024:
He must “show he’s fighting for Americans’ rights, not just complaining as [they’re] getting taken away,” @mehdirhasan says. "What are you waiting for?"

Did you know that gas prices have been *falling* over the past month? If you’ve been watching Fox, you might have had no idea…
Don’t miss @mehdirhasan’s convo with @Sulliview on @msnbconpeacock on the great disconnect between economic news and how Americans feel.

Biden’s polling numbers have hit new lows. So naturally, this is the time he’s embarking on a trip to the Middle East?
@mehdirhasan has some ideas for how he could turn things around back home — @amandalitman & @importantmeagan join on @msnbconpeacock to discuss.

“I have no problem with Joe Biden’s emotional connection to the Jewish people. As a Jew, I find it moving and appealing," @PeterBeinart tells @mehdirhasan. "But the question is, why can’t he also have a deep emotional connection – a human connection – with Palestinians?”

“I’ve lost count as to how many American presidents have visited” the Middle East, @DrHananAshrawi tells @mehdirhasan. “They haven’t made a difference because there’s a longstanding policy of total allegiance to Israel … and of attempting to silence the Palestinians.”

Biden has a decades-long relationship with Israel. But the Israel he once knew is no more, and its leaders have only become more emboldened.
@mehdirhasan asks: Do Palestinians have to keep living under a brutal occupation while U.S. presidents heap praise on their occupiers?
