I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Thanks for the chat Professor! Everyone grab Lawless, it's a MUST-HAVE for navigating a dangerously rogue court...

Strategically boo, heckle, disrespect. Stop calling him “President Trump.” And if Senator Slotkin is gonna give the rebuttal, urge her to drop the civility politics/lets-vote-for-his-nominees bullshit and get fucking brutal when she delivers it

I interviewed Piers Morgan's archenemies and progressive co-hosts of "America Unhinged," @wajali.bsky.social and @franifio.bsky.social (We discuss Trump, MAGA, Democrats, Piers, the Young Turks, and more!) youtu.be/_CCnkmZHUyg?...

Also need the ability to make bookmark categories like Twitter 😬 Happy to donate! 😅

Does BlueSky have a bookmark function yet?

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.

Congressman @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I discuss the potential government shutdown and how he recently triggered Elon Musk on X/Twitter after criticizing the right-wing billionaire's disturbing influence on US politics: youtu.be/nOx7CDsMLjU?...

My full interview with @briantylercohen.bsky.social is now live; watch him expose the failures of political media, challenge Democrats to get with the times, and discuss his major new initiative to create a progress media ecosystem: youtu.be/PPkmsIdNYPo

Thanks to @ponderingpolitics.bsky.social for having me on. Give him a follow and watch the full video here:

There is simply no better ROI for Democratic officials than validating independent progressive media.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social exposes Piers Morgan's grift and explains how the GOP benefit from constantly fertilizing their right-wing media ecosystem — and urges the Democrats to take notes! youtu.be/7xgOZgHr8tU?...

My full interview with @kylekulinski.bsky.social is out now, where we discuss the election, the media, and the future: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVq_...

Until my full convo with @kylekulinski.bsky.social drops, here's a 21 minute appetizer in which he calls out Joe Rogan, Piers Morgan, the cowardly alternate media, and discusses the future of the Democratic Party. youtu.be/OQEo0zFwZFQ?...

my full 1 hour 45 minute deep-dive with @kylekulinski.bsky.social will drop tomorrow, be sure to check it out!

NEXT WEEK: Interviews with powerhouse progressives on the election and the future: @kylekulinski.bsky.social on Monday, @briantylercohen.bsky.social on Tuesday!

Hot take: but as a lifelong Star Wars fan, I loathe TFA — it’s a cowardly soft reboot which cheapened the previous films and set the sequels up for failure 😒 I prefer both the Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker to TFA

“She’s obviously a woke deep state RINO, Brian” — MAGA, probably

LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME BOI

Piers Morgan's weak attempt to justify his double standard to Brian was laughable: "2020 was a referendum on Covid!" And 2024 was a referendum on post-Covid conditions (e.g. inflation) and it destroyed incumbents in elections across the globe, including UK conservatives... so what's your point?

moths love this place

after this thumbnail, it occurs to me that perhaps the Musk-Bezos rivalry is more Freudian than professional 👀

Candidates have an obligation to court voters and not simply assume their record speaks for itself — but this is one of my concerns One lesson Dems might learn is that spending precious political capital on stimulus, infrastructure, etc. isn’t worth it and instead they should wage culture wars

President Biden saved Teamsters’ pensions with funds from a law opposed by every elected Republican… yet an alarming number broke for anti-union/anti-labor Trump anyway We simply can’t assume Americans will vote for politicians who materially deliver for them — something to consider for the future

Anybody know if Bluesky has a bookmark function to save posts?

Making Garland the AG was a mistake, it was a consolation prize for being cheated of his seat on the SCOTUS. Judges shouldn't be AGs, prosecutors should be. #dgg #daliban

Accurate.

ReekFK Jr here looking pained af to see his complete downfall captured on camera

One of the many, many, many terrifying prospects of a second Trump term

Reminder that Mike Johnson is trying to bury this report from both the public and the Senate Judiciary Committee

ok gang i’m starting to think trump was lying his ass off about project 2025

Great recommendation: Wikler’s record is impressive and Wisconsin is a purple state — his success there is encouraging 👍

An absolute no brainer for DNC chair is @benwikler.bsky.social . Thanks to what Ben built at WisDems, when the country swung ~6 points to the right this cycle, Wisconsin only swung 1.5 points to the right, while actually *adding* seats in the state legislature and holding onto Tammy Baldwin's seat.

Since Kavanaugh, the GOP’s “own the libs” strategy has involved picking, doubling down on, and ramming through alleged predators

Not a football fan, but the lady is, so here we are!

His first post should be an apology to Hillary

🧵 By January, bad faith Republicans will control the presidency, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court, ~30/50 state legislatures, Twitter, the biggest mainstream news platform (Fox), the biggest alternative media (Tim Pool, Daily Wire, et al.), and they fully intend to press their advantage

This “man of faith” gleefully bent the knee to an adjudicated rapist — pretty sure that ship’s sailed 👍

Fetterman: "I guarantee that if Dave McCormick was in the opposite situation where he was down 15,000 to 17,000 votes, he would absolutely want to have every last vote counted too."

Between 2016 and until 2024, Democrats had an impressive winning streak — Brian’s right, this attitude will help us resume that streak 🔥

Because why block a punch when you can filibuster it instead? 👀

Bill Maher’s too centristy on niche culture war issues for my liking, but I love it when he slams MAGA and calls out their double standards to their faces youtu.be/mOyHMx8UY7o?...
