“Black people wouldn’t still be here in this country, alive and surviving and thriving…if not for humor, if not for art, if not for imagination,” @wkamaubell tells @mehdirhasan. “It’s a survival skill. It’s a way you get through the day.”

"Alex Jones is not just the far-right fringe figure he should be," @mehdirhasan says. "Past guests on his program like Donald Trump...have lent legitimacy to this conspiratorial, far-right bloviator who peddles nonsense conspiracies."
Judge to Alex Jones: "It seems absurd to instruct you again that you must tell the truth while you testify, yet here I am."
Jones was ordered to pay $4.1M to parents of a Sandy Hook school massacre victim in defamation case, jury ruled. on.msnbc.com/3oVe0wW

"Our democracy is in crisis, and the idea that any person – even a former president of the United States – would be above the law, is counter to what we know to be true about what democracy should look like,” says Rep. Mondaire Jones. “No one gets a pass.” on.msnbc.com/3JDA48P

Jon Stewart’s activism shows how celebrities can make change in America.
But ask yourself, @mehdirhasan says: "What kind of country are we, where we have to rely on celebrities to make sure our veterans get essential health care from the government they fought so hard for?"

Ruja Ignatova co-founded a fake cryptocurrency, allegedly swindling billions of dollars from investors worldwide.
She’s on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list, and she's been indicted on several counts of fraud and money laundering. The only issue? She’s been missing since 2017:

“They did what they think they needed to do,” @SimonWDC says of Dems funding ads for pro-Trump candidates. “If we end up winning the House…this will look like a genius strategy.”
@mehdirhasan: But if they lose, the House will have "1 extra crazy person and 1 less sane person."

How high are the stakes for the nation in the midterms?

He's about halfway through his first term and may run again. But his approval rating isn’t great, and polls aren’t in his favor. Surprise! — @mehdirhasan's talking about Ronald Reagan.
Decades later, Biden’s facing similar issues. Could he, too, pull off the same comeback?

Viktor Orbán's recent speech could only appeal to the most vile of racists.
U.S. Republicans are welcoming him with open arms. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

Lawyers for Alex Jones accidentally sent two years of his text messages to rival attorneys. “If you are a trial lawyer cross-examining someone on the stand, it doesn’t get much better than this,” says Mehdi Hasan. on.msnbc.com/3bv9hPw

U.S. politicians should stand up to genocidal or anti-democratic governments, @mehdirhasan says — as long as we don't give them a free pass.
And, @peterbeinart says, while “it’s important to make moral statements,” the critical question is: “What effect do your policies have?”

Nancy Pelosi has made her stand for human rights and democracy in China clear throughout her political career.
But, as @mehdirhasan points out, her controversial trip to Taiwan may not have helped her advance those causes.

Has Biden done enough with his executive authority to safeguard abortion rights?
“The president and the White House has been slower to react than what I would’ve liked to see,” @RepJayapal tells @mehdirhasan, adding that Biden “should declare a public health emergency.”
