"Conservatives and fascist movements want to replace facts with power,” @nhannahjones tells @MehdiRHasan about attacks on the teaching of history. “They want us to believe in a history that didn't actually exist because that allowed them to take power."

This past week, a U.S. senator said “one of the single most insane things” @mehdirhasan has ever heard a politician say. Find out who it was, and what bonkers thing was said, in tonight’s 60-second rant. Start the clock!

“I would invite anyone to hold their journalism up to the level of scrutiny that this project has gotten and see how it comes out in the end,” @nhannahjones tells @MehdiRHasan about an edit made to the 1619 Project over why some colonists sought to break from the British

"A failed coup is always practice for a successful coup,” @TimothyDSnyder tells @MehdiRHasan about Jan. 6th's lasting repercussions. “Countries that have coups very rarely have just one."

Trump supporters are running for local office, and getting elected to positions big and small. Why? As @mehdirhasan explains, every little bit helps when you’re trying to steal an election:

“The conditions are cruel. They’re brutal,” @Cynthia_Mendes_ tells @mehdirhasan of pitching a tent outside the RI capitol to raise awarehouse of the unhoused crisis. But she says it’s “nothing” compared to what unhoused Rhode Islanders face.

“We’re nowhere near a democracy,” says @jasonintrator, “Because what democracy would have one party win the popular vote in seven out of eight presidential elections and lose most of those elections?”

The list of what American kids are in danger of *not* being taught is growing all the time. And growing more ridiculous, too. Take the list of words the Wisconsin GOP wants banned from schools. @mehdirhasan tries to get through them all in 60 seconds. Start the clock!

Tucker Carlson and Brexit mastermind Nigel Farage claim Covid “feminizes” men.
So with Trump’s illness and hospitalization in Autumn 2020, @mehdirhasan asks “Does that mean he lost his life essence too? He got feminized?” 🤔

“There’s been this consistent, and I’m gonna say it, very racist approach to nominees of color coming out of the Biden administration.”
@SenDuckworth isn’t surprised Republicans are giving the cold shoulder to noncontroversial SBA nominee @dilawar.

Senate Republicans are stalling the confirmation of Msulim SBA nominee @dilawar despite widespread support and career success. Why the snub?
“It demonstrates how detached the GOP is from America as a country, from the American public,” says Dilawar’s friend @QasimRashid.

Meet Dilawar Syed.
A self-made entrepreneur, Pakistani-American immigrant, & Biden’s pick for a top role at the SBA.
Sen. Republicans have ghosted FOUR meetings when his nomination to be the country’s highest-ranking Muslim official was being considered. Hmmm, wonder why.

An earlier tweet stated @RoKhanna disrespectfully disagreed with Sen. Chris Murphy.
Rep. Khanna actually respectfully disagrees with Murphy on his vote to proceed with a $650M arms deal to Saudi Arabia.
We regret the error.

“We can't only be critical of the war in Yemen when it's Trump who's supporting it. Biden also made it clear: The U.S. was always going to support Saudi Arabia in its war effort.”
Senate Dems are working to save a $650M arms deal to the Saudis, and @mehdirhasan isn’t having it.

Are you listening, Biden?
With less than a year until the midterms, @CFColemanJr says the president and his administration should be paying special attention to the Kim Potter trial, because they’ve “struggled to get a footing with respect to African American voters.”

The ex-cop who killed Daunte Wright is being tried by a mostly white jury.
It’s the latest in a string of high-profile trials with a *major* lack of Black jurors.
But @OakCliffLawyer points out “it’s nothing new.”

House Dems just passed a $770 million defense budget.
With no concerns expressed about the deficit or debt, and no demands from moderates to see the bill’s CBO score.
"It's very frustrating," says @RoKhanna. “It’s enriching defense contractors.”
