“They are eating the dogs.”“They rigged the election.”“Very fine people on both sides.”Donald Trump has spent the past decade making outlandish, crazy, and dishonest claims. But what the president of the United States repeatedly said about a digitally-altered image of a tattoo on Tuesday night, in his ABC News interview with reporter Terry Moran to mark his 100 days in office, left even Mehdi, a long-time chronicler of Trump’s lies and outbursts, truly stunned. Watch him unpack it all above.

“So many things have shocked me about the past 100 days,” says the Guardian US columnist and author of Win Every Argument, Mehdi Hasan. “Even for me, even the person who was saying it’s going to be so bad, it’s much worse than even I thought.”What’s been shocking to Hasan about Donald Trump’s second term so far is not the policies – they were laid out on the campaign trail – but the lack of resistance.

Dear Friends,It was nearly three years ago, on May 11, 2022, that renowned Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces in the Occupied West Bank. The Israeli military killed a US citizen, a well-known reporter for Al Jazeera, and the US government never fully investigated who did it; there was no accountability for the shooter, whose name has never been revealed; and ultimately, there was no justice in the case of Shireen’s killing.

As the Democratic Party in the US faces record low approval ratings, two prominent liberal journalists are promoting a prescription for the party’s path forward. Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson’s bestselling new book ‘Abundance’ has garnered both buzz and controversy, as they argue that in order to create a future of abundance rather than scarcity, liberals need to build and invent more by deregulating the government and developing a more pro-business mindset.
