After someone in power dies, @mehdirhasan says, we’re told not to discuss the bad. But is there ever a “good” time?
@esglaude: “There is always this sense in which some people have the right to speak their minds, and other people should simply shut up and be grateful."

Queen Elizabeth II was a beloved figure who many saw as a symbol of unity, @mehdirhasan says.
"But for others, [she's a symbol] of empire and colonialism. People living in democracies where free speech is truly respected should be able to have that...complicated conversation."

Are the Proud Boys the GOP’s militia? “Absolutely,” @AndyBCampbell says:
“They see themselves as the enforcement arm of the GOP,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “But the GOP has not rebuffed them.”

As Ukraine pushes back against Russian forces, Vladimir Putin finds himself losing support from his own allies.
Things couldn't be worse for Putin's army, and the tide is turning in Ukraine's favor. But, @mehdirhasan asks: How does it pull off a win without further escalation?

“I was blindsided.”
@DrEricDing tells @mehdirhasan that Biden declaring the pandemic over “is something I would expect from the last president…but not our current president… We’re almost turning a blind eye to all of the deaths and to all the long Covid out there.”

As hundreds of Americans die daily from Covid-19 and millions more have long Covid, Biden says the pandemic is over and everyone seems in “pretty good shape.”
“We wouldn’t have given Trump a pass. We shouldn’t give Biden one either,” @mehdirhasan says of the “reckless” remark:

It’s only been since 1/6 that Americans fully recognized the Proud Boys' true nature and the threat they pose. But @AndyBCampbell saw their extremism and violence before most others — and he’s written a book all about it.

From a street gang to a major extremist movement, the Proud Boys see themselves as an enforcement arm of the Republican Party, @AndyBCampbell says. And despite 1/6, he tells @mehdirhasan, "There are still GOP officials who embrace them."
