The U.S. has now surpassed a tragic - and previously unthinkable - milestone: one million deaths from Covid-19. But at least one million Americans didn’t die in vain, right? @MehdiRHasan says the U.S has already moved on from an ongoing tragedy. WATCH:

Evan McMullin, now trying to unseat Mike Lee, was staunchly anti-abortion in 2016. Yet he tells @mehdirhasan he now opposes overturning Roe v. Wade: “I do not think that that is the way for the country to move forward on this issue.”

With Ron DeSantis looking to make gun permits part of Florida’s past, the so-called “Gunshine State” likely won’t lose its nickname anytime soon.
So with permitless carry close to becoming law, how can we stop future gun violence in a state where it’s already all too familiar?

Ron DeSantis has turned what was once America’s most crucial swing state into a MAGA breeding ground. So do Sunshine State Dems even stand a chance in November?
@NikkiFried, the only statewide elected Dem (now running to take on DeSantis in his reelection bid) says yes.

The draft Roe opinion would let abortion rights be decided by states & elected officials, yet red states like Florida have only made voting harder.

If you want to know where the GOP is headed, just take a look at how Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has managed to stay one step ahead of his party with theatrical demagoguery and red-meat legislation for the right:

One state’s Republicans are unmatched in their power-consolidation… even though voters are split almost evenly between D’s and R’s.
And as @mehdirhasan explains, the GOP has used this state as a laboratory to beta-test extreme policy makeovers and culture-war talking points:

Under DeSantis, Florida has become a lab for GOP policy and talking points. But the only Dem holding statewide elected office thinks she has what it takes to unseat the polarizing GOP Governor. You don't want to miss @mehdirhasan’s intv with @NikkiFried tonight on @MSNBConPeacock

Tonight’s show is dedicated to Florida and its rise as a MAGA policy testing ground. And who better to discuss the state’s shift to extremism than three Floridians?

With Gov. Ron DeSantis looking to make gun permits a thing of Florida’s past, @davidhogg111 slams the so-called “constitutional carry” law as “careless carry”: “With power comes responsibility. But this is gun irresponsibility.”

Amid a lack of action, @mehdirhasan asks @maziehirono: Why should people be convinced to still vote blue in November?
“The 50-50 Senate sucks,” she says. “Make no mistake: if the Republicans take over…there will be a huge push to pass a national anti-abortion law.”

After 50 years, Republicans who gamed a broken system are on the verge of ending the right to abortion. Dems say “bipartisanship” and “norms” will fix it.
They won’t, @mehdirhasan says. Ending the filibuster & expanding SCOTUS will — just about the only means left to do so.

Ending the filibuster. Expanding the Supreme Court. Codifying Roe v. Wade. They sound like abstract fantasies, but are they the only means left to fix a broken system?

The leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade has the support of Trump-appointed Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. But during their Supreme Court confirmation hearings, each acknowledged the ruling's underlying precedent. WATCH:

If SCOTUS won’t uphold the right to choose, why hasn't a bill codifying Roe hit Biden's desk? Because of the GOP and Joe Manchin, @mehdirhasan says.
But with abortion rights on the line, Dems should show voters the stakes the nation faces—and they must capitalize on the moment.
