“Dem voters are desperately looking for action, not empty rhetoric or resignation,” @mehdirhasan says. And while CA Gov. Newsom is “far from perfect,” he adds, “as we watch our rights slowly being chipped away … Dems in Washington and beyond should take note.”
Herschel Walker reportedly lied to his team about his secret kids, the latest in a string of falsehoods.

When it comes to Herschel Walker's personal controversies, he apparently isn't above lying to his own campaign team. (via @MaddowBlog) on.msnbc.com/3OUI8Ut
There’s one resident of 10 Downing St. whose hold on power will remain steady after Boris Johnson’s departure. His platform? Anti-avian, anti-mice – Make Britain Feline Again! @mehdirhasan explains:
Democrats are in desperate need of a fighter. But right now, it’s stuck with establishment figures like Biden and Pelosi — people who have been on Capitol Hill so long that they can’t see the fundamental flaws in the system.
So, asks @mehdirhasan, how does the party fix that?
.@mehdirhasan: “How do you solve a problem like Marjorie Taylor Greene?”
“The problem is…Trump has birthed, like, a million mini-Trumps,” @MollyJongFast says. “What you would need, theoretically, is a grown-up in the room, and I just don’t see that in the Republican Party.”
The GOP's extremism shows “McConnell & the establishment might really be losing control,” @DavidJollyFL says.
“But," he adds, "what within our culture is elevating these people to successful positions when it is contrary & antithetical to American values?”
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy-laden comments about the July 4 shootings in Highland Park and Philadelphia are just the latest bit of GOP extremism.
It’s hard not to become numb to these ghastly statements and baldfaced lies. @mehdirhasan explains why we can't:
It’s clear that Democrats need some fresh blood. But how do you get those new voices and bold ideas into the party?
This NY House race could have the answer — and candidate @yuhline joins @mehdirhasan on tonight's show to argue why she fits the bill. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock!

"Democratic voters are desperately looking for action, not empty rhetoric... And while he's far from perfect, Governor Newsom provides an example for how to be a fighter...That's what we need: more people willing to loudly fight back."

BREAKING: British PM Boris Johnson announces resignation amid a wave of scandals and party resignations, saying he will remain as prime minister until a new leader is chosen. msnbc.com/live
British PM Boris Johnson is embroiled in his latest scandal. "Normally, that would be humiliating, but...[he's] not a normal politician, just in the way that Donald Trump is not a normal politician,” @freedland tells @mehdirhasan: “It is very hard to shame the shameless.”
The right has a weird obsession with blaming mass shootings on drug use - specifically, marijuana. And while we shouldn’t need to fact-check that claim, @jillkpeterson sets the record straight once and for all: “You do not see patterns there with pot use.”
It shouldn’t shock you that the suspect in the mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in a Chicago suburb was a young white man, @mehdirhasan says. That description falls right in line with a recent pattern seen in cities across the U.S.:
Former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone is expected to answer the 1/6 committee’s questions.
Here’s what @BarbMcQuade says she wishes she could ask him:
Members of Trump's team have been subpoenaed by a GA grand jury as it probes the effort to overturn the 2020 election.
"The first thing that came to my mind immediately was Lizzo's summer banger, 'It's About Damn Time,'" @nseufot tells @mehdirhasan. Watch:
Big news in D.C. — Former WH counsel Pat Cipollone will testify before the 1/6 panel.
But don’t let that distract you from Georgia, says @mehdirhasan, where Trump seems at serious risk of being charged with multiple crimes over the phone call we remember all too well:
We’ve all seen Trump wriggle out of a scandal. Allow us to introduce you to the British version of Teflon Don: Boris Johnson.
The PM has weathered many scandals, but this is his most serious yet. @freedland discusses with @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock.
The 1/6 panel has landed another crucial witness, while a Georgia grand jury has subpoenaed major members of Trump’s inner circle. Catch all of @nseufot and @BarbMcQuade with @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock as they discuss!
