@golden.house.gov why the heck aren’t you running for Senate?

www.nytimes.com/video/opinio... You have to wonder - is this because of the color of his skin that people have looked the other way for so long - damning.

Centrists should understand progressives aren’t going away, nor will all be convinced of the errors of their ways. Progressives should understand centrists aren’t going away, nor will all be convinced of the errors of their ways. The anti-fascist common front needs each wing to tolerate the other.

@gregcasar.bsky.social I enjoyed your interview on Pod save America. But I’m not sure why you and other politicians won’t use the words climate change. You talk about mitigation and providing services for people, but you don’t use the words climate change.

The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) on Paramount’s Decision to Cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social @cameronkasky.bsky.social @thebulwark.com So enjoyed your conversation.

@timmiller.bsky.social @cameronkasky.bsky.social @oliviajulianna.bsky.social what a fantastic segment!

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social Thank you

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social ok you are one of my favorites. That latest focus group - the one on benefits (she listens to fox) - fairly sympathetic. But there were two of them, who referred to people taking advantage of system and that it was ok to explode the deficit - lazy, selfish thinking.

Kingston NY - no KINGS!

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com interview with erik loomis about history of union strikes so good. And really informative about meeting our moment.

@hulahoopes.bsky.social sorry wrong tara!

@hulahoopes.bsky.social why should the town be in the business of doing this even though we are just purchasing the land and will be working to hand over to local agency(s) that build affordable houses. If we do an informational session for town - maybe we could zoom you in to speak!

@hulahoopes.bsky.social heard you on fy pod. Really liked what you had to say. I am on town board in a small community in upstate New York. We are just about to purchase a piece of land for future affordable housing. We thought it would be a win-win but we are getting pushback.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social @jvl.bsky.social @thebulwark.com that secret podcast was awesome. But the central question was answered – – anyone who let’s ChatGPT do everything would be incapable of a conversation like that. And that makes me very sad.

@samsteindc.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social @thebulwark.com cannot believe I have to post this. Leave Sam alone. He is one of the interviewers I seek out. Go Sam

@thebulwark.com could someone discuss this stable coin legislation on your pod?

I am on the town board in my town in Hudson Valley of NY. We just got a notice from our highway superintendent that the new truck he has on order for the highway dept will cost 3500 more due to tariffs.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

@indivisible.org next step protest in DC - but don’t leave until Trump administration makes concessions?

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

www.justice.gov/opa/pr/depar... I visited this area. I went to homes and visited with people who have been living with literal sewage swamps behind their homes. This administration is a home for monsters. And hell is to good for them

@timmiller.bsky.social your conversation with Krista Lucio has me more convinced than ever that the electoral college is killing this country. DeLuzio’s picture and argument is framed by his particular district. We can’t discard these people, but we cannot be held hostage by them either.

@timmiller.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social Be great if one or both could talk about bill maher’s maddening normalizing of Trump after his visit.

@davidfrum.bsky.social fantastic interview with rahm emanuel. Look forward to hearing more

@jvl.bsky.social @davidfrum.bsky.social Such a good show Today. Frum’s final remarks - bracing tonic. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

@nytimes.com at Bryant park. Where the hell are you?

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

The Lithuanias paid tribute to our 4 servicemen who died there during a military exercise. Our piece of shit President went to play golf instead of meeting the members as they arrived back into the United States. As a retired military member I am disgusted by this draft dodger.

@jvl.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social latest @thebulwark.bsky.social Secret Podcast was so good.

One man’s temper tantrum to feel powerful is having devestating consequences

I cannot get a live voice from repeated calls to @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov Avoidance or just innundated?

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Time to speak up for the disappeared. Time to do a town hall

🤣

Finally some courage. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...
