GOP Sen. Ron Johnson was caught on tape saying climate change is “bullsh*t.” So what are activists doing? Touring a life-sized manure "scatue" of him around Wisconsin to tell voters what they think of his remarks.
Who knows? It might just knock Johnson to “No. 2” in the polls:

.@sway_bhatia says high-profile women of color like Vice President Kamala Harris have served as an inspiration for her career: “Being able to look up to people like Kamala Harris, … it’s pushed me on in my career, and it’s basically the reason I’m doing this.”

With the devastation brought by increasingly powerful storms like Hurricane Ian, you’d think that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would be doing everything in his power to mitigate climate change for the sake of his state. Right?

.@OwenJones84 says comparing UK prime minister Liz Truss to “a human nuclear bomb” is “apt” after her government’s tax cut plan raised international concerns and caused the British pound to plummet.
He tells @mehdirhasan: “This is a genuine national crisis.”

New UK prime minister Liz Truss and her new government delivered their economic plan. To put it bluntly, it didn’t go well, @mehdirhasan says.
As the country is thrown into financial chaos, could Truss — who hasn’t even been in office for a month — soon be on her way out?

The country is bracing for a Supreme Court ruling that could undermine free and fair elections. If SCOTUS weakens voting protections, @mehdirhasan asks, what’s to stop a state like Georgia from disenfranchising its Black voters?
“Absolutely nothing,” @OfficialMLK3 says.

As more and more Americans signal support for expanding the Supreme Court, is President Biden coming around to the idea? “Not yet,” @brianefallon tells @mehdirhasan. Watch him explain:

“Expanding the court isn't just about protecting women’s health...or protecting our climate. It’s about saving democracy.”
A SCOTUS case could give state legislatures the power to skew elections. If that's not a sign to expand the court, @mehdirhasan doesn't know what is:

SCOTUS will hear arguments on a legal theory that gives legislatures unchecked power in federal elections, fueling calls to expand the court.
"The public knows something is wrong," @OfficialMLK3 says. "The time is now."

Far-right leaders like Giorgia Meloni try to mask their anti-Semitism by saying they're pro-Israel.
"There’s no ideological contradiction between not liking the Jews in your own country and really liking particularly right-wing Israeli governments,” @PeterBeinart says:

The GOP sharing a clip of Italy's Giorgia Meloni slamming “financial speculators” is “problematic,” @PeterBeinart says.
“Financial speculator is not actually a term about a certain economic profession,” he tells @mehdirhasan, but "a coded way of talking about…Jewish people.”

.@mehdirhasan sounds the alarm on Italy's Giorgia Meloni — and how the GOP has embraced her.
It shouldn’t shock us that the far-right leader of a party that descends from Mussolini’s fascism is using the same rhetoric… but it should scare us.

When will the 1/6 panel hold its last hearing? It remains to be seen—but it could be right before November's elections.
And if it is, expect to see how Republicans “still pose a threat to democracy,” @hugolowell says. “That’s quite a compelling message ahead of the midterms.”

How much of the GOP’s obsession about “law and order” is about race?
“As someone who played in that game … it’s all about fear. And much of that fear is racist,” @WalshFreedom tells @mehdirhasan. “And that’s where Democrats need to punch back.”

Democrats have run from the GOP's “soft on crime” label for 50+ years.
“If you’re defending yourself, you’re losing,” @MollyJongFast says. “It’s better for Democrats … to be able to control the narrative. And that’s something they have never been super interested in doing.”

“We’re done rolling over and just trying to ignore it. … That playbook is gone.”
@kurtbardella tells @mehdirhasan it’s about time we see Democrats, starting with President Biden, stop “tak[ing] the higher road” and call out Republicans for their hypocrisy:
