Gov. Ron DeSantis’s new ad shows dozens of residents thanking him for his Covid response.
You know who that ad didn’t show, @mehdirhasan asks? The 80K+ people who died from Covid in Florida on his watch — and whose deaths, says Mehdi, could've been prevented.

Your chances of getting super sick with Covid is low — lower than the flu, @Bob_Wachter says — but there’s another piece of the puzzle that he says isn’t worth ditching precautions over, he tells @mehdirhasan: “The data we see on long Covid is very concerning.”

How can we say we have a functioning democracy amid GOP gerrymandering?
@PatRyanUC tells @mehdirhasan that "We have to restore public trust and confidence in all parties — especially the Republican Party — that people are there to be of service, not in it for themself.”

Donald Trump is running out of defenses on holding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
@OakCliffLawyer tells @mehdirhasan: “The only defense he has, really, is to throw me under the bus.” WATCH:

“If you’re fine with treasonous behavior, now, just because it’s Trump," @WajahatAli tells @mehdirhasan about reporting foreign nuke docs were found by the FBI, “I want Republicans to stand up and say ‘Everything’s ok! Even a traitor committing espionage.’”

Nearly 6 years ago, Hillary Clinton warned: Don’t trust Trump on nuclear security.
The good news, @mehdirhasan says, is President Trump never launched a nuclear attack! The bad news: Her warning about his cavalier approach to nuclear security may be prescient.

New reporting says the FBI seized documents about foreign nukes at Mar-a-Lago.
The GOP, as usual, is defending Trump — and undermining national security in the process. Watch @OakCliffLawyer and @WajahatAli discuss w/ @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock.

What can Dems take from @PatRyanUC’s win in NY's bellwether special election?

The UK’s new prime minister, Liz Truss, is a liberal-turned-rightwing-conservative who was formerly the nation’s foreign secretary.
But for many, she’ll always be known first and foremost for her bizarre love of cheese. WATCH:

A New Mexico judge barred ‘Cowboys for Trump’ cofounder and January 6 rioter Couy Griffin from holding public office.
“It’s a huge deal,” @ruthbenghiat says. “It establishes a precedent that others can follow.”

In recent weeks, Trump’s been using right-wing megaphones to ramp up the crazy. One example: saying he'll pardon 1/6 rioters who stormed the Capitol if he wins in 2024.
If you needed more proof of his embrace of far-right radical ideology, let that be it, @mehdirhasan says.

Donald Trump has been granted a special master in the Mar-a-Lago case — but who will that special master be?
@mjs_DC: “I think Judge Judy would be the best-case scenario here.”

Could the appointment of a special master in the Mar-a-Lago probe slow down the case?
“Merrick Garland is such a ‘by the books’ — or even ‘past the books’ — kind of guy,” @neal_katyal tells @mehdirhasan. “There is a risk...of very significant delay.”

“It’s a joke ruling start to finish,” @neal_katyal tells @mehdirhasan about a Trump-nominated judge's decision to grant the ex-president a special master in the classified docs probe. “Any of my first-year law students would’ve done a better job,” Katyal says.

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, given a lifetime appointment by Trump, granted the former president’s request for a Special Master in the classified docs probe — just as he’d expected.
“Is justice blind,” asks @mehdirhasan, “Or is it blindly partisan?”

If reelected, Trump vows to pardon 1/6 rioters who stormed the Capitol, and offer them a full apology from the government.
But does that amount to encouraging rioters to do something similar in the future? @ruthbenghiat joins @mehdirhasan to weigh in — watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

Trump openly admitted that he expects his appointees to rule in his favor. And one of them just did, granting him a special master in the Mar-a-Lago probe.
Is justice blind, or is she blindly partisan? Watch @mehdirhasan's discussion with @neal_katyal on @MSNBConPeacock.

Donald Trump just got a major legal boost from a judge he appointed: a green light for a special master in the Mar-a-Lago classified document probe.
“It’s a joke ruling start to finish,” @neal_katyal says.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis thought his new task force had found 20 people who voted illegally in 2020.
Now we're learning the rest of the story: Florida officials apparently told these people they could vote. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…
