In the good old days, @mehdirhasan says, if a cabinet secretary called out a president as a threat to democracy, it would have been a political crisis. Now, we’re numb to it. Of course, he adds, it would have helped if Mark Esper had done it while still in office:

.@michelleinbklyn says she feels “ambivalent” about pro-choice protests outside SCOTUS justices' homes.
"There’s a huge amount of hypocrisy" from the right, she says. “But I also think there is some value in recognizing a norm against doing this, given how often it’s used.”

.@MsPackyetti has a message for those upset about protesters outside SCOTUS justices’ homes: Protest “is designed to create discomfort.”
“Civility, order, politeness — these are vestiges of white supremacy culture that would force powers-to-be to the negotiating table."

Outrage continues over abortion rights protests outside Supreme Court justices’ houses, because those homes are private. @mehdirhasan says it’s a fair question to ask if such demonstrations are the best way for the left to get their message across. WATCH:

.@SophiaBush isn’t ruling out a potential run for elected office someday.
“Particularly after the last administration, I figure if we’re electing people from TV, then maybe I’ll throw my hat in the ring eventually,” she tells @mehdirhasan.

.@SophiaBush urges Dems to be more "aggressively progressive to protect [their] own voters" when it comes to abortion rights.
“Gilead is here. The Handmaid’s Tale is here, and all the while Democrats are acting like we are having a civil conversation,” she says. “We’re not.”

“Every single warning light that blinks when democracies are under threat and are drifting toward authoritarianism are blinking in the United States right now,” @brianklaas says. "Trumpism … [is] advancing a systematic attempt to degrade democracy in the United States, openly.”

“Remember all the people who said the system worked — that Donald Trump was stopped from overturning the 2020 election results?” Mehdi asks. “Well, Republicans noticed, and at the state level, they’re getting rid of the people who did the stopping.”

The right-wing media and Republicans are up in arms about a need for civility after *peaceful* pro-choice protests. But, @mehdirhasan asks, where were they when election officials were harassed and hit with death threats?

How did abortion become one of the most divisive and politicized social issues in modern American history? It all dates back to a series of Supreme Court cases that, in fact, had nothing to do with abortion at all.

With talk of a national ban on the right to an abortion, and Dems unable to codify Roe v. Wade, Mehdi says fighting for basic rights can’t be left to judges or lawmakers, and activists must lead the way.

Michigan's election-denying GOP seems hell-bent on purging the party of dissidents — & the state is quickly becoming ground zero for a Trumpian takeover.
How'd we get here? What happens next? Tonight, @brianklaas answers those Q's and more. Be sure to tune in on @MSNBConPeacock

Democrats are just now springing into action on abortion rights. @mehdirhasan asks @SophiaBush: Shouldn’t they have been more prepared for this?
“Absolutely,” she says. “I don’t really know what decorum we’re holding onto.”

The Biden Administration relied heavily on vaccines to get the U.S. to where it is now in the pandemic. And @edyong209 tells @MehdiRHasan that’s why he think’s the administration has “done very poorly” in managing it.

How does @RepBarbaraLee square Dems' broad support for abortion rights with leadership's embrace of an anti-abortion incumbent in Texas?
“I’m not commenting on people who have endorsed other candidates,” she tells @MehdiRHasan. “What I’m saying is the public is going to decide.”

How did one million U.S. deaths from Covid-19 become normal? @edyong209 tells @MehdiRHasan that it all comes down to the most powerful Americans believing the pandemic is over because they *feel* safe.

There’s no doubt about it, the Republican Party is Trump’s party now. But as @MehdiRHasan notes, there is still a small handful of Republicans willing to stand up to the former President's rolling insurrection. But do they stand a chance of winning in 2022?

Republicans are now claiming the Supreme Court’s leak is the “real insurrection," downplaying the violence on Jan. 6. @MehdiRHasan says that's bonkers. Roll the tape!
