While we’re talking about how Democrats can win in red states, be sure to check out @eggerdc.bsky.social's interview with @robsandia.bsky.social — who has already won statewide election in Iowa TWICE and is now running for governor. Only @thebulwark.com: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP7e...

Senate Republicans are bucking Trump on blue slips and Argentinian beef. On his usurping the power of the purse to pay the salaries of U.S. troops . . . not so much. www.thebulwark.com/p/time-to-sh...

“Trump’s naked greed for wealth and power, his cruelty, his obscenity, his stupidity, his childishness, his arrogance—all these have galvanized the opposition as never before in recent U.S. history. That’s what “No Kings” was about.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Really appreciate the words of @eggerdc.bsky.social today. Saturday was never going to magically fix things. I’m tired of the “none of this matters” crowd. Yep there’s a long time to go, it will get harder (& SCOTUS rulings may introduce extra hurdles), and we’re going to have to put in the work.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

In Trump's America, "military police are heroic patriots by virtue of being in *his* military police," writes @eggerdc.bsky.social. And the law's only job is "getting out of their way." Conversely, "people who object to his will—whenever, wherever—are dangerous insurgents who must be rooted out."

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

My colleagues and I are SUPER excited about this: The amazing @crampell.bsky.social is joining our team at The Bulwark. www.semafor.com/article/10/0...

What the hell was that? We're about to react LIVE to Trump and Hegseth's strange speech to generals

Read @eggerdc.bsky.social on the (bad) impersonation of a medical professional that took place at the White House yesterday www.thebulwark.com/p/hes-not-a-...

Look this is just why it's important to read labels closely.

Welcome to the ass-kissing festival @eggerdc.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social break down Trump's UN appearance.

Check out @eggerdc.bsky.social and @cathyyoung63.bsky.social in @thebulwark.com's Morning Shots. As Trump says, "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen." www.thebulwark.com/p/hes-not-a-...

The best SNL moment of the last few years was the post-election moment where they got LMM on stage to head-fake a Hamilton resistlib anthem and then smash cut to a 10-minute James Austin Johnson Trump monologue instead

The same people who bragged about "creating" the Haitian dog-eating story now demand that comedians have their facts exactly accurate at all times, or else the power of the federal government will be unleashed on them. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

For me, the most shocking moment of Kash Patel's Senate testimony today was when he cleaned his glasses with his thumb

"Miller’s promise ... is to bring down the fist of the state on radical left organizations, to take away their money and their power." That's *in addition* to his pledge to "take away [the] freedom" of "those who have broken the law." @eggerdc.bsky.social on Stephen Miller's plan to purge the left.

Stephen Miller vs. Spencer Cox? @eggerdc.bsky.social outlines two radically different Republican responses to the murder of Charlie Kirk, in his contribution to today's Morning Shots newsletter

Another pair of must-reads in today's Morning Shots @eggerdc.bsky.social on the rhetoric of Stephen Miller @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on the persecution of transgender Americans www.thebulwark.com/p/its-stephe...

I was in 1st grade during Bush v. Gore and 13 when birtherism took off. Other than that, this guy's got me pegged

"Kirk wasn’t my enemy. My enemy—an enemy I share with many who would call themselves *my* enemy—is the person who shot him, and anyone else who would reach for violence as a means to a political end." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

Wrote about it. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-this-wh...

HAPPENING NOW: The Trump administration withdraws its claim that parents of the Guatemalan children it tried to send back last month had requested their return. DOJ says it has no basis for that claim now in light of contradictory info provided by the Guatemalan government.

I go huge swaths of time forgetting Sean Davis exists and it's so exciting whenever I remember. He's just a cut above.

so the reason the Times jumped on the chip story so fast is...they had been trying for weeks to nail down a bigger story about systematic bribery of Chinese-language news outlets

Frieze, Fulton County Dept. of Health and Wellness, Atlanta, Georgia. They don't decorate public buildings the way they used to. It makes me feel better already. Go get 'em doc. Not today Death, not today.

Trump doesn't care about crime stats. He knows what security feels like in the shortform-video age: Videos of cops cracking heads breaking into MAGA's drip-feed of crime content. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-want...

NEW: @eggerdc.bsky.social and @willsommer.bsky.social take on the story of how Donald Trump’s former Attorney General, Bill Barr, is now the target of a bizarre MAGA conspiracy theory — all thanks to a very curious “whistleblower” www.thebulwark.com/p/outrageous...

We have someone in charge of America's public health bureaucracy who will barely defend his own agency even after it's attacked by a gunman. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-worst-...

The Kennedy Center is "a place where Trump's detestable qualities and his merely odd ones merge and interplay in interesting ways." And, maybe, less harmful ways. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/lights-cam...

Trump’s got a new goon at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Let’s meet this disaster with @eggerdc.bsky.social

"A sane world would have seen mRNA tech’s debut for what it was: a quantum leap forward in medicine with a surface of potential we’d barely scratched" -- @eggerdc.bsky.social in @thebulwark.com Morning Shots www.thebulwark.com/p/et-tu-jd-v...

"The dateline could be Belgrade or Bangkok, Caracas or Cairo. We’d read the stories, shake our heads, and reflect on the fragility of democracy in the Third World." It could be, but it's not. It's D.C. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

Trump and his allies pretend they're sticking up for public order. But this whole thing is shirts and skins. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-isnt...

The latest from YouGov: For context, there are about as many Democrats who found the Sydney Sweeney jeans campaign to be "offensive" as there are Democrats who support Trump's retaliatory tariffs. Probably not the best issue to capture the views of this group! today.yougov.com/topics/overv...

"Look at DOGE and you don’t see an elite strike force that was needed to figure out how to execute an intricate, novel task. You see a bunch of privileged elites who were granted the honor of mashing the delete key as part of the reward system in their clique." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-boy-ge...

funniest outcome would be that trump killed epstein but it was over some obscure but relatively non scandalous 90s rich guy beef that trump lives for

Nobody wants to hear it but the answer is pickleball when the weather is good and racquetball when the weather is bad

"You'd imagine Trump would prefer not to be in a situation where his best strategic move appears to be to flirt with pardoning one of America’s most despicable criminals. But there is a strategy at work here." -- @eggerdc.bsky.social for @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/why-trump-...
