Why isn’t Biden cracking down on Saudi Arabia to end the war in Yemen? “I am so frustrated,” @TawakkolKarman tells @mehdirhasan. ”I hope he'll change his policy, that's very important for him as President, for the U.S. also who should keep on protecting values of human rights.”

The torch lighting at the Beijing 2022 winter olympics was more like gaslighting, as the Chinese govt. put a Uyghur athlete front and center. As @mehdirhasan explains, China might think they can play by their own rules, but we need to prove them wrong. WATCH:

One of the roles of the media is to hold the government to account. So why is the Biden admin. trying to suggest ANY criticism of their pronouncements means journalists are somehow in bed with foreign dictators and terrorists? @MehdiRHasan has a lot to say in tonight’s #minirant

Raids in Syria again.
American-made bombs still falling in Yemen, despite a Biden promise.
The U.S. watching as allies violate human rights.
