Republicans took back the House due to gerrymandering. But it's nowhere near as bad as how GOP redistricting has undercut democracy in state legislatures.
Let @mehdirhasan tell you about Wisconsin, where Dems are winning statewide races but Republicans still call the shots:

A state holiday that once honored Confederate general Robert E. Lee’s birthday is cited as a reason Saturday voting ahead of the Georgia Senate runoff has been barred.
“That’s not for voter fraud, but it is to suppress Black, Brown and young voters,” @jamalhbryant says. WATCH:

The federal Johnson Amendment is simple: If you’re a tax-exempt religious leader, you can’t use your pulpit to make political endorsements.
Yet a lot of conservative pastors out there haven’t gotten the memo. WATCH:

A Black Ga. pastor’s sermon scorching GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker went viral. Now questions are being raised about his church’s tax-exempt status… but not about the white pastors who've politicked openly for years? There’s probably a reason for that, @mehdirhasan says:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s nearly two-decade rule as party leader isn’t all highs — notably, she resisted impeaching former President Donald Trump. “She was very slow to investigate [him],” @michelleinbklyn says.

How will history judge Nancy Pelosi?
@michelleinbklyn: “They will judge her as the most effective House speaker of the modern age, one of the most powerful women ever in American politics and someone who was constantly underestimated.”

We all agree that in America, church and state should be separate. But why do the rules seem to be different for Black churches?

I'll be doing a more fuller evalution of the Pelosi era, the biggest pros and cons, on the @MehdiHasanShow later today on @MSNBConPeacock. Can't do it via tweets. She's a complex and historic figure.

Things at Twitter have gone downhill fast under new ownership — faster than @oneunderscore__ imagined.
“There’s no other way to put this,” Collins tells @mehdirhasan of the boss. “He is taking this thing off the rails, or he’s going off the rails and he’s taking this with him.”

Joe Biden didn’t say much about Donald Trump’s 2024 bid — but Dems responded in a major way in the midterms, @EdMarkey says.
Trump’s “candidates all across the country got killed,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “We are going to continue to fight not just Donald Trump, but Trumpism.”

Elon Musk’s pay-for-play verification system has sent Twitter into disarray, with fake accounts impersonating major companies and even lawmakers like @EdMarkey.
“That is not permissible,” he tells @mehdirhasan, “and they will pay a price if they don’t put safeguards in place.”

Twitter is becoming a deeper, darker cesspool of disinfo and dysfunction under El*n Musk.
@mehdirhasan asks: “How long can Twitter survive under these conditions, and how long can America continue to let capricious billionaires run roughshod over our media and our politics?”
