Why is Sen. Joe Manchin, who has made millions from a family coal business, able to chair an energy committee in the Senate that’s working to combat climate change?
@mehdirhasan asked Sen. Ed Markey just that.
End the dependence on Russian fossil fuels vs. end the dependence on fossil fuels, period.
@Mehdirhasan explains the important distinction that could save our planet.
If oil & gas are fueling Russia's invasion of Ukraine, why is the conversation about ending the reliance on Russian fossil fuels instead of ALL fossil fuels?
@SenMarkey joins @mehdirhasan to discuss green energy & more.

Why is the Biden administration asking for *more* money for the defense budget than Trump did?
WH Economic Adviser Jared Bernstein offers this explanation:
Fmr. U.S. amb. to Russia and the U.N. Thomas Pickering warned the Clinton White House against considering Ukraine for NATO membership. “I never heard back from the cable,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “It was an important cable.”
“If our own law enforcement officials lack the steel to do what their jobs require them to do, we’re gonna be in a very dark place,” warns @TimOBrien, who says A.G. Merrick Garland has more than enough to investigate Trump.
“The public evidence against Trump is overwhelming,” says former Watergate prosecutor @JillWineBanks. “I can no longer give any explanation for the silence from the Department of Justice.”
How will “Donald Trump, a man who makes Richard Nixon look like a Boy Scout,” asks @mehdirhasan, manage to explain more than 7-hours missing in the phone logs from Jan. 6 turned over to the House Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol?
The economy has greatly improved under the Biden Administration so why do roughly 2/3 of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy?

Istanbul hosted talks b/w Russia & Ukraine & there appears to be *some* progress, but U.S. officials are skeptical that Russia is negotiating in good faith.

Tonight, on the @MehdiHasanShow, as Donald Trump denies using 'burner' phones, while hours of official 1/6 White House call transcripts go missing, I'll speak to Trump biographer @TimOBrien & former Watergate prosecutor @JillWineBanks.

“We certainly know… that this is a person who is listening to falsehoods and conspiracy theories, and apparently believing them,” says @mayawiley of the potential legal consequences facing Ginni Thomas. “Being crazy is not illegal.”
President Biden proposed a new type of tax for the ultra-wealthy today. A *billionaires* tax if you will. @mehdirhasan lays out how much Bezos, Musk and Buffett, to name a few, would have to fork over under the new plan. 🤑
President Biden has accused Putin of war crimes in Ukraine. But if the U.S. isn’t a member of the international court that tries war criminals, asks @mehdirhasan, what exactly is America really prepared to do about it, except talk?
What is the best way to get Russia to the negotiating table? And what is an end game for Putin that Ukrainians could possibly accept?
Former U.S. Amb. to Poland Stephen Mull joins @mehdirhasan to discuss.
