Host, @mehdihasanshow on @MSNBC and NBC's @peacockTV. Also now on Mastodon: @mehdihasan@journa.host
At what point do reporters confront Republican lawmakers and candidates over the fact that their de facto party leader and only declared presidential candidate so far keeps promoting QAnon, which the FBI has considered a domestic terror threat? Why is this not a bigger story??
“Is this truly about human rights, or is it that Western pundits can’t stomach the idea that an Arab Middle East country will host the World Cup?” asks my colleague @AymanM
"I am just fed up of these Republicans who served under Trump... then distanced themselves from Trump in order to sell a book, but still won't rule out supporting him again in 2 years time! I am fed up of their cowardice." Me to @AymanM on Pence & Barr:
"InshAllah." My response to @AymanM tonight, in our @MSNBC live handover, when he asked me if #England are going to bring it home. #WorldCup2022 😉
Finally, some relevant advice from Chomsky: “My own concern is primarily the terror...carried out by my own state… It is very easy to denounce the atrocities of someone else. That has about as much ethical value as denouncing atrocities that took place in the 18th century.”
Hard to disagree with @ParkerMolloy ’s breakdown/analysis here.
What’s worse? That Cornyn seems to have signed his tweet as Ted and Heidi (was this a copy and paste job gone wrong?) or that it’s still up online hours later? 🤔
This is perhaps the best piece I have read in a while on Musk and why he’s doing what he’s doing. 👇🏽👇🏽

Hey US media folks, here, I would argue immodestly, is how you interview a Trump supporter on Trump's lies:
Cruz is a graduate of Princeton and Yale, a lawyer, a senator, the multimillionaire husband of a Goldman Sachs executive, who sends his kids to an exclusive school, but sure, let’s listen to him on ‘elites’!
So folks have been comparing the weird @GMB morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp . So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art! Watch:
Most Americans - including educated, informed Americans; including people working in politics and the media - still don’t understand how close we are to fully losing our democracy in the next year or two.
Fox and the Republicans are losing their minds over Joe Biden calling MAGA "semi-fascist." But they'd never call their political opponents "fascists," right? Right?? You'll be shocked, shocked I tell you! Roll the tape:
