Critics of modern monetary theory — which argues we can always print more $$ — say it's a recipe for runaway inflation, and charge that Biden’s stimulus plan helped get us here.
@stephaniekelton counters the American Rescue Plan was, in fact, “a recipe for runaway recovery”:
Inflation is at a 40-year high. Interest rate hikes could be coming. But, @mehdirhasan asks, how much will that really help to clamp down on inflation?
This Juneteenth, @mehdirhasan asks @DrIbram: How should we teach kids about the holiday?
“We can teach young people that people were forced to work,” he says. “We can also teach those very kids that those people, who were forced to do that, constantly resisted.”
Everything’s bigger in Texas. And also, it seems, more extreme. I mean, have you seen the new platform from the Texas Republican Party? As @mehdirhasan says, “It’s bonkers!” Feels like it’s time for a 60-second rant. Start the clock!
Tuesday's 1/6 hearing will focus “not only how close we came to a bigger crisis than the one that we saw, but that the seeds have been planted for this to happen again,” @kyledcheney tells @mehdirhasan. “These parties have been seeded with people who are beholden to Trump."
“Like everything else, Trump’s effort to cement victory is still happening,” says @mehdirhasan in Monday’s opening monologue. It’s trickled down to local elections, where Trump’s election lie has infected “the people responsible for carrying out *how* Americans vote.” WATCH:
Millions across the U.S. are celebrating the emancipation of enslaved people this Juneteenth, but our country still has a long way to go on dealing with racism itself.
Tonight, Mehdi speaks with @DrIbram on how to raise your kids to be anti-racist. Tune in on @MSNBConPeacock!
The Jan. 6 committee is doing its final preps before tackling how Trump’s pressure campaign began in the states, where Trump’s effort to cement victory is still happening.
Don't miss @kyledcheney's convo w/ @mehdirhasan on All. Things. 1/6. Tonight on @MSNBConPeacock
“When we celebrate Juneteenth, we’re celebrating that fight for freedom,” @DrIbram tells @mehdirhasan. “Today, too, people are prevented from doing things because of the color of their skin, and those people are fighting against that.”

Gianforte echoes Cruz with his "lavish foreign vacation in the middle of an unprecedented crisis while rural voters in his red state are left behind to suffer."
"No one has more contempt for ordinary Republican voters than elected Republican leaders," @mehdirhasan says. ICYMI:
TOMORROW: Join us for the next January 6th hearing. Special coverage kicks off with @mehdirhasan at 12pm ET and continues at 12:30 with @KatyTurNBC, @mitchellreports & @HallieJackson, followed by the hearing in full. Streaming on Peacock in the MSNBC hub.
When it comes to preparing for the next pandemic 😱, @MehdiRHasan says it’s time we start talking about the universal-healthcare-shaped elephant in the room. WATCH:
“Was it helpful for you to invoke Stepan Bandera who was a Nazi collaborator during World War II?” @MehdiRHasan asks @poroshenko. “The Simon Wiesenthal Center and many Jewish groups believe he was one.” WATCH:
We hear a lot about ‘the Left eating the Left,’ but where’s similar talk about the Right Wing after this weekend’s chaos at the Texas GOP Convention? @MehdiRHasan and @AymanM discuss the schisms exposed after several lawmakers were booed and harassed by the gathered Republicans.
As Russia's war on Ukraine nears its fourth month, are we any closer to negotiations on diplomacy? @poroshenko joins @MehdiRHasan to discuss what can be done. "We have three positions; a ceasefire, withdrawal of Russian troops and the releasing of hostages."
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's objection to vaccines for young children is outrageous. Despite DeSantis’ contention, @MehdiRHasan points out that kids are still at risk and the GOP’s interventions in the debate over vaccines is outrageous and dangerous to America’s children.
“This virus is impacting children in a significant way and is causing death, @MarkWKlineMD1 tells @MehdiRHasan, saying GOP objection to vaccines for kids “is undermining everything we are trying to do” to protect the lives of children.
Lawmakers have praised Pence for his actions on Jan. 6th but what does his fmr. aide @OliviaTroye have to say about his silence since then?
“I’ve been calling for [Pence] to come forward,” she tells @MehdiRHasan. “If it were up to me, he should have come forward on January 7th.”
