It\u2019s the 200th episode of The New Abnormal, starting with a wild \u201cflashback\u201d to the very \u201cfirst\u201d episode in the summer of 1998, when co-host Molly Jong-Fast foresaw a future of \u201cracist babies,\u201d with Molly wishing \u201cif only there was a senator with a ridiculous mustache\u201d to being the issue to light. Jump ahead to 2022, and co-host Andy Levy says Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson \u201creally missed a chance there\u201d when that senator with the \u2018stache, Ted Cruz, asked her to define what a woman is. Jackson could have said, joked Levy: \u201cYes, senator, I define a woman as someone you marry and then defend them when someone else calls them ugly,\u201d like Trump did to Cruz\u2019s wife\u2014who didn\u2019t think that, or Trump saying his dad had killed JFK, was reason enough to stop sucking up to The Donald. Later in the episode, the Beast\u2019s Matthew Fuller joins the party to break down the fuckery of the Jackson hearing and its \u201cstraight racism, just the full-flavored version." Plus, Buzzfeed\u2019s Christopher Miller, who\u2019s been reporting from the Ukraine for years, considers the first month of the Russian invasion\u2014\u201cWhen Putin announced his invasion, I was in the Eastern city of Kramatorsk, near the front lines of the longer simmering war in Eastern Ukraine and (was) awoken by an airstrike on an airfield that was about 2000 feet away from me, which is definitely 2000 feet too close\u2014and the history that led to this moment.
