We've always had a real set of American virtues and values, and we've always had brutality and political violence. So far, the former has always kept pace and eventually won out. Ken Burns joins @timmiller.bsky.social in the latest Bulwark Podcast:

Can the state governors deploy the National Guard to protect American citizens against the President?

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

Sour grapes. That’s why this is happening. ICE plans to run immigration enforcement at the Super Bowl. Cori Lewandowski: “ICE will be everywhere”

Lewandowski says ICE will be at the Super Bowl and implies they will deport fans of Bad Bunny: "...it’s so shameful that they’ve decided to pick somebody who just seems to hate America so much to represent them at the halftime game."

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about violating the Hatch Act? TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is about letting the American people know what's going on. C: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.

Stephen Miller tells law enforcement in MEMPHIS: “You are unleashed”

Mike Johnson agrees that Trump is “unhinged” and “unwell”

Just so everyone knows. Immigrant families in my opinion are the most hardworking people I've ever met with the biggest hearts. I lived in AZ for 15 years. My next door neighbor who didn't speak English found my kids at my doorstep. They were supposed to go to school aftercare.

A 10 day hearing began today in Texas to determine if the GOP's new rigged map will remain in place or be struck down for 2026. The best way to stay informed on what is happening is to subscribe to Democracy Docket, the media outlet I started in 2020, for times like these. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Straight up: I’m not onboard with farmers getting another bailout when so many voted for Trump two and three times. But what Trump is doing to them is brutal. I want to believe they’ve learned their lesson this time, but I don’t. Watch all the way through.

Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others, it is the only means” -Albert Einstein

Gov. Pritzker: "ICE is running around harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great."

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

Medicare is no longer covering telehealth visits. Congress has not extended the coverage given during the pandemic, and with the government shutdown that extension is unlikely anytime soon. So elderly patients on Medicare can no longer take medical appointments from home.

The President is unwell. PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances. The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.” Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

Our generals serve the country, not an ex-Fox News clown looking for headlines.

A lot of people outside the military don't realize that the whole "no beards" thing is directed primarily at the many African-Americans who are allowed not to shave because of a common skin condition.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Yes to ballrooms. No to healthcare for Americans. Got it.

Jesse talks about Speaker Mike Johnson's disastrous appearance on ABC News this morning with George Stephanopoulos, during which Mike Johnson's lies were fact-checked in real-time, which seemed to rattle him a bit. youtu.be/V-D3lSDxasI?...

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

The Government is now shut down, but apparently nobody called the school in the Bronx that had come to the Capitol for their tour today, so they're getting the treat of a lifetime since AOC agreed to give them the tour herself! I’m loving this for all of them!

The Interior Department has told its staff to bring their government laptops and phones home so they can monitor updates about potential mass firings.

Release Mike Johnson's Grindr profile. And yes, gay people are amazing. 😂 WATCH: #Resist

Whatever this Supreme Court allows the administration to do, the next Democratic president should give it back—with interest.

No need to be scared of him. The trend is clear - everyone outside of his hard base is abandoning him.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

Keep talking, Howard, keep talking.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA. I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ME: "Jesus, why does your close friend Speaker Mike Johnson relentlessly bear false witness?" JESUS: "WHO???"

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...
