“If we’re going to lecture Russia, and we should lecture Russia, we should also get our own house in order,” @PeterBeinart tells @MehdiRHasan about America’s less than stellar record in protecting oppressed Yemenis and Palestinians from our geopolitical allies.

“Yes, it was a missed opportunity,” @JocelynBenson tells Mehdi about Dems in the Senate who - having failed to pass crucial voting rights legislation - moved on to other things. “It wasn’t the first, or last, opportunity they’ll have to help us in the states protect democracy.”

Trump’s chosen pick for MI Secy. of State, election denier Kristina Karamo, is one step closer to overseeing the 2024 count in the key swing state, reminds @mehdirhasan. “So pay close attention to the race… bc what happens in Michigan politics definitely won’t stay in Michigan.”

President Biden says he’ll attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — a largely maskless event — despite concerns about rising COVID infections.
So, as @CharlesMBlow and @kavitapmd discuss, is there any chance DC’s ‘nerd prom’ could be an outdoor potluck instead?

Democrats have failed to address the messaging issue behind “Defund the Police” — which, by the way, was never about taking money away from fighting crime, @CharlesMBlow says.
So what should we call the movement? @deray has one idea: “Move the Money.”

President Biden says he *just* finished paying off the student debt of his son Beau, who died in 2015, at the age of 46.
Just another sign of a broken system, says @astradisastra: “The fact is that people carry student debt to their graves.”

A Texas court halting the execution of Melissa Lucio is raising new questions about the death penalty in the U.S. — and whether Lucio's case could pave the way for more bipartisan capital punishment reforms in the future.

Madison Cawthorn has packed a “lifetime of demagoguery and lies into 26 years,” @KatiePhang says.
You'd think being negligent with guns, accused of harassment, and caught driving with a suspended license would lead to consequences. Unless you're Madison Cawthorn.

As the U.S. escalates sanctions on Russian oligarchs, @KatiePhang asks: what’s the difference between an oligarch and a billionaire in Russia?
“To publicly say [that] Vladimir Putin [is] a war criminal," @billbrowder says, "they’re not an oligarch dependent on Vladimir Putin."

New leaked audio exposes Kevin McCarthy’s role reversal after 1/6.
“Kevin McCarthy had a brief affair with integrity,” @repswalwell says, “and we’d all be better off if that affair had lasted a little bit longer.”

Dems in Congress are in no rush to take action against efforts to undercut democracy, even though the clock's ticking on their majority.
“Don’t say there’s nothing you could do,” @mehdirhasan warns. “You have only 6 months left to pretend you care about fighting for democracy.”

What explains Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter?
“He’s a very complex character,” @karaswisher says. “It is a small company, but it’s also a very influential company. So one could look at this as a very big business opportunity if you got it right.”

“For years, we’ve argued over what to do about trolls on social media,” @mehdirhasan says, “But what do we do when one of America’s biggest trolls just buys one of the country’s biggest social media platforms?”
One thing’s for sure: we’re in some strange and uncharted territory.
