@therickwilson.bsky.social Your interviews with Amy Wallace and Sky and Amanda were so moving. Is there ANYTHING you can do to get the files released?

@everystatebluetn.bsky.social Maybe we’re done electing idiots? Still have a few to get rid of.

Tuff for us

Will they? My guess is yes. Never before such uncaring leaders.

State elections matter!

🚨 Enough is enough. Democrats are standing up to Trump’s shutdown circus and demanding a government that works for the people. Watch it go down! #DonaldTrumpsShutdown social.demcast.com/s/sRYXj8Pl

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

The suppression of free speech we’re seeing around the country is terrifying. In Tennessee, we’re no stranger to these tactics — the GOP has been tamping down on free speech for years in our state. A thread 🧵

This is SO important—please share Widely

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Wake up!

Brian Kilmeade should have been fired. Period.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Indivisible says 47 and dr oz are introducing plan to let AI choose which procedures to approve for Medicare. Between Kennedy and the BBB throwing people off health insurance, I’m not sure who they’re going to “govern” when we’re all dead. But call your reps. act.indivisible.org/sign/trump-o...

“People have a right to make their own decisions, informed decisions,” says Ladapo. Well, how can they make ‘informed’ decisions if gov lies to them?

“Who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what you should put in your body?” Ladapo said Wednesday.” Except for women, of course.

When Wendy down the street believes what the tarot deck tells her, that’s not hurting anyone. When RFK Jr. decides he can walk through the airport and determine which children have mitochondrial damage just by looking at them, we’re in trouble. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/some-idle-...

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

Why is Congress so willing to give up its power? If they don’t want the job, resign.

If you’re a blue dot in Tennessee, did we just become best friends?

🚨This is huge - Democrat Catelin Drey flipped an open Iowa Senate seat (in a district that Trump carried by double digits last year), breaking the GOP supermajority in the state!🚨 Change is possible. And with your help, change is coming to Tennessee. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

A map of where troops have been seen in the nation’s capital makes it very clear they are not really there to combat crime. They are stationed in areas where they are mostly likely to be seen and to make a statement, especially around the White House and the national monuments on the National Mall.

@lastword.msnbc.com David Blight was a GREAT guest! Put him on again. I loved his idea of a debate!

@hcrichardson.bsky.social I just heard historian David Blight suggest a debate with Kevin Roberts and sane historians, of which you are one. Pls support this!

@dblight.bsky.social I just heard you speak on The Last Word. You have a superb idea challenging Roberts to a debate! Do it!

@stuartpstevens.bsky.social thanks for the videos you are putting out. Calm, analytical, honest but unsparing. I’ve asked: how did this happen? You are helping me understand.

Why does trump have to challenge EVERY.trivial.thing? Does he need more to keep him busy?

First our gov starved children in Africa. Now they’re getting ready to starve them in the US.

Called Sen Hagerty’s ofc to express concerns about masked, unID’d “ICE” agents. Waving around guns at people nearby, pointing gun as passing motorist. As a female, a masked man approaching me with no visible ID, I’m supposed to stand there and ask.
