What’s up with the right’s cynical and hypocritical obsession with civility, insisting that Democrats are somehow uniquely and outrageously rude? As @mehdirhasan explains, just listen to right-wing media to see how they literally demonize their opponents:

Despite that bombshell, the Georgia Senate hopeful is in luck, @mehdirhasan says — he’s a Republican in America, where the GOP "still rewards its candidates no matter their behavior is, or how serious the allegations against them are."

The GOP brands itself as the "law and order" party while calling Democrats “soft on crime." But in many cases, Republicans are the ones embracing people accused of committing awful crimes. What gives?

"Democrats like Diane Feinstein, people like Chris Coons, crossed party lines to confirm Aileen Cannon after Trump had already lost the election. What have learned we learned Democrats?," Elie Mystal says. on.msnbc.com/3rDxE1T

Republicans love to tell Democrats and liberals to be civil, be polite. But check out the hate-filled religious rhetoric the right is using right now. They’re literally demonizing their opponents.

“All three of the liberal women were great yesterday, it doesn’t matter, they’re going to lose 6-3,” says @ElieNYC of oral arguments before the Supreme Court on racial gerrymandering bans.
“What [Republicans] want is power. They don’t care about the morality of the argument.”

“The idea that [Ginni Thomas] is only a little bit of an insurrectionist doesn’t hold a lot of water for me.”

Trump has threatened to use a second term to turn the apolitical civil service – filled with career bureaucrats – into a den of Trump loyalists. But @MehdiRHasan asks, what about the partisan Trump appointees already running the supposedly apolitical USPS and World Bank?

If Ginni Thomas urged state lawmakers to overturn Trump’s election loss, then why on earth is her *husband* handling Trump’s Supreme Court appeal in the Mar-a-Lago documents case?
@ElieNYC has an answer for @MehdiRHasan. Tune in tonight on @MSNBConPeacock.

Why is Louis DeJoy still the postmaster general despite being a Trump era appointee?
“Sadly, I don’t understand why,” says @RepDean.
“Mr. DeJoy should have been removed.”

Using nukes, as Putin is threatening to now do, is "something that world leaders, both democratic and dictatorial, have managed to avoid for more than 7 decades."
My deep-dive into Putin, the history of the 'nuclear taboo,' & the myth of 'tactical' nukes:

A new bombshell report says "pro-life" GA Senate hopeful Herschel Walker allegedly paid for a girlfriend’s abortion.
But Walker's in luck, @mehdirhasan says — he’s a Republican in America, where the GOP rewards candidates no matter their behavior.

Critics say reporters shouldn’t hold onto Trump bombshells — like his private concession that he lost to Joe Biden — for their books.
But @peterbakernyt says it's important "not to simply accept the narrative as we knew it... [but] to put it in a larger context."

.@mehdirhasan asked @peterbakernyt if interviewing Donald Trump made him feel like he "needed to take a shower afterwards."
His response: “He is not a reliable fact witness.”

If Russia decides to use nuclear weapons, @mehdirhasan asks: How should the U.S. respond?
“We have a variety of responses that we could take…before you even get to whether there should be a nuclear response in kind,” @Cirincione says.

Putin’s nuclear threat is sparking growing alarm — and it “breaks a long tradition” of cautious rhetoric from leaders on nukes, @NinaTannenwald says.
“I am more worried about the risk of nuclear use than at any time in my professional career,” she tells @mehdirhasan. WATCH:

Russia's Putin has again put world leaders on edge with new threats to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. He could be bluffing — he has before — but we can agree on this, @mehdirhasan says: Putin's "bombastic rhetoric makes [nuclear] missteps & tragedies much more likely."
