This Is Trump's Most Dangerous Threat to US Elections Yet Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

The US Senate may vote soon on one of Donald Trump's most dangerous plots against our free and fair elections yet – the SAVE America Act.

Although the Trump White House and its Republican allies in Congress are trying to brand it as a simple set of voter ID laws, Mehdi explains in this monologue why the bill is far more sinister than its name leads on, and why it could threaten everyone from married women to rural voters.

The Media Is Biased… Against the Left Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

Since being named CBS News's Editor in Chief in October, Bari Weiss has turned the network into a soft-MAGA mouthpiece – just take a look at its latest roster of contributors, which is a who's who of at best, centrist pundits, and at worst, right-wing hacks.

While it's easy to dunk on Bari Weiss, CBS's rightward shift is indicative of a larger problem in our media ecosystem: across so-called "liberal" media, there's long been a glaring absence of proper progressive and leftist voices.

In his latest scathing monologue, Mehdi breaks down the progressive-shaped hole in our mainstream corporate-controlled media and makes the case for why supporting independent journalism now is more important than ever.

Show notes

Human Rights Watch has become known for their scathing reports on Israel's treatment of Palestinians, accusing the country of committing apartheid and carrying out acts of genocide in Gaza. So why did the organization suddenly decide to block a report on Palestinians refugees' right to return?

In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi speaks with the author of that report, Omar Shakir – who resigned from HRW this week, after nearly a decade of leading the organization's Israel and Palestine team.
