A new documentary shows what the media got wrong about the story of Rosa Parks’ activism.
“I do worry that we see so many examples, day in and day out, of just getting it wrong,” @soledadobrien tells @mehdirhasan. “I hope we fix that.”

We all know about Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat and how she became a civil rights icon. But there’s so much more to the story, @soledadobrien says.
“It frames her as this accidental civil rights activist,” she tells @mehdirhasan, “when that’s just not true at all.”

Does the White House regret calling abortion rights activists “out of step” with mainstream Dems? WH spokesperson Olivia Dalton tells @mehdirhasan that “It’s possible to agree on the goals without agreeing on the tactics.” WATCH:

A million more Floridians voted to restore ex-felons' voting rights than to elect Ron DeSantis in 2018. In turn, DeSantis has made it nearly impossible for many ex-felons to vote.
Just one "example of 20 years of intentional discrimination by this governor," @missburneysays.

Ron DeSantis threw out his own FL lawmakers' redistricting map, drawing one even more favorable to the GOP.
"Control of Congress could come down to just a handful of seats," @DaveDaley3 says. "The lawlessness here in FL could well determine control...for every American.”

He’s made it harder to vote early or by mail. He’s redrawn districts to undermine minority voters. So what does Florida’s governor do when he wants to further suppress turnout? He arrests voters.
@mehdirhasan: "You think the election-deniers are bad? Ron DeSantis is worse."

With just 3 weeks until midterms, polls show a massive swing in Republicans’ favor. But that polling data doesn't tell the whole story, @cornellbelcher says — and we shouldn't count the Dems out just yet:

Far-right candidates like Arizona's Kari Lake are leaning into the GOP platform of ‘owning the libs’ and a stolen election, @elainejgodfrey says.
But, she tells @mehdirhasan, "I think there are some true believers out there. I don’t know that Kari Lake is one of them." WATCH:

Is the media in danger of normalizing extremist candidates like Arizona's Kari Lake? “She’s normalized,” @jasonintrator says:
“It’s a five-alarm fire for democracy,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “And to treat her as a normal candidate...is the last thing journalists should be doing.”

Some 300 GOP candidates who have disputed Joe Biden’s 2020 win are running for office across the U.S. But 1 stands out from that far-right Republican crowd: AZ gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake.
Let @mehdirhasan tell you why she’s “the most dangerous candidate in America today”:

When it comes to far-right candidates like Kari Lake, @elainejgodfrey says the sell to voters is all about "owning the libs” and "a middle finger to the establishment." But will it work?

The Salt Lake Tribune published such a glowing op-ed making the case for another term for Sen. Mike Lee, seemed almost like it was written by Mike Lee. Turns out it *was* written by Mike Lee, or at least his staff. @mehdirhasan has questions:
