How does Fox News compare to state media in authoritarian countries? @AymanM tells @MehdiRHasan there's very little difference. "This is not an independent news organization looking for the truth. It's a propaganda broadcaster doing the bidding of Republican elites."

It's been a hectic few days in American politics... so hectic, in fact, that some didn't realize the Supreme Court gutted the 4th Amendment this week. @MehdiRHasan breaks down Justice Thomas and company's frighteningly authoritarian opinion that's flown under the radar.

The midterm elections are coming up and that can only mean one thing: it's time for another migrant caravan for Fox to fearmonger about. Roll the tape!

Fox News has refused to cover the January 6th hearings. It completes Roger Ailes' decades-long mission to create a right-wing network, so no other Republican president would suffer Richard Nixon's fate. @MehdiRHasan breaks down how Ailes and Fox brought us to this moment.

Does a weak bipartisan deal effectively give Republicans an out on meaningful gun legislation? “Fortunately, Democrats are the responsible party,” @RepRubenGallego tells @MehdiRHasan. “We’re not going to just walk away from doing something…just for a partisan attack point.”

If you feel like Trump and other insurrectionists aren't any closer to being held accountable for their actions on Jan. 6 than they were the night of the attack, you're not alone. @RepRubenGallego asks @MehdiRHasan: “Where is our Department of Justice?”

Is the high road leading Democrats nowhere? With less than 5 months until midterms, @MehdiRHasan asks, is it finally time for them to drop the usual restraint and go after extremist Republicans?

Sure, WH counsel Pat Cipollone threatened to resign, Trump son-in-law and aide Jared Kushner told the Jan. 6 panel… but Kushner dismissed it as "whining.” “By the way, Jared Kushner was focused on getting $2 billion from the Saudis that last month or two,” @WalshFreedom says.

“How much more compelling evidence can you get that Donald Trump was told repeatedly he had lost the election?” @KatiePhang asks after the first 1/6 hearing. “He basically compelled people to come to the Capitol on Jan. 6 to be able to give him a victory he knew he never got.”

"We take our oath to defend the U.S. Constitution. And that oath must mean something. Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible – there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain." — Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY)

In video aired during the first 1/6 hearing, former Attorney General Bill Barr says in discussions with former President Trump after the 2020 election, “I made it clear I did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen … which, I told the president, was bullsh*t."
