brian stelter thinks that there are legitimate journalists at fox news and as a media reporter thats the biggest lie you could tell

This is not normal. This is not okay. www.wfyi.org/news/article...

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

@durbin.senate.gov These are the folks to whom you + 7 others capitulated. And for what? The slim hope Mr. Thune keeps a promise? All of the sacrifices Americans made in the past few weeks were tendered for .... a GOP promise to allow a vote on some subsidies in December? You've been swindled

telling someone who’s health insurance premiums are going up 2000% that the republicans are now on record opposing healthcare and they promised to vote on it later so it’s really for the best that the senator won’t be moderately inconvenienced flying home in two weeks

@schumer.senate.gov - I'm from Indiana, contacting my senators directly is less than useless. As the leader, you're the next in line -- Why give in NOW? Why let folks suffer for weeks only to concede now? Nothing to show for their sacrifice besides the promise of more pain! Are you that craven?

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Oh, bless Christina Tosi's heart. If that's *her family's* recipe and not the same one made in at least a million American kitchens, then *I'm* the founder of Milkbar. 🙄 I think the recipe is ON the box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix. (This is not a criticism aimed at you, kind poster of the gift link!)

fortune.com/2025/10/26/n... Yes, she was MUCH too busy nepotting (nepoting?) to worry about nepotism, like, as a concept. Duh.

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

I assume that we won't get Surgeon General reports about the epidemic of white men shooting people and sociological studies about where their fathers are?

Anybody checked on the dolphins recently?

It's Saturday night. Many things are bad. But tonight I got to see old friends (and *sob* their now giant children), play dumb games and eat deep fried everything. Darn hard to have a bad time duckpin bowling and eating nachos. 🦆📌🎳 Oh. And someone complemented my hair, which is always nice.

At this point in American history, it's beyond irresponsible to be a political reporter and not have complete familiarity with groypers (and their conflicts with Kirk).

Again, @brianstelter.bsky.social Mr. Middle of the Plate? Mr Cooler Heads? Care to weigh in?

Just un-fucking-believable that the Wall Street Journal ran that anti-trans story

Oh hey. Hey @brianstelter.bsky.social care to "lower the temperature" and promote cooler heads and all the rest you've pumped out the last few days? Eh? Nothing says chill and middle of the road like posting a memorial pic of a half-staff flag for .... Oh yeah, a guy we didn't even elect dogcatcher

@matthewjdowd.bsky.social Please don’t go silent. We need you.

I ignored the murder of Melissa Hortman. Here’s why I’ll be talking about the murder of Charlie Kirk all day today. by most liberal pundits

huh

I have two professor colleagues who have faced threats and harassment due to the organization Charlie Kirk built, and they were not alone. We can denounce and loathe political violence without hagiography for its victims. This is dangerous nonsense.

“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”. -Charlie Kirk

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs Kirk and family at this difficult time. Violence is rarely the way. (But my brain can do a lot of stuff, all at once.) I also think that this will be a damn distraction from the only issue (Epstein) that has touched the president in years.

I'll merely note that today, like all days, is a great day to stop posting on Twitter, a platform whose owner force feeds this slop into people's brains with an algorithm designed to boost his views and trample yours.

JB's the Guy.

What are we supposed to do? I am but one mid-aged, mid-class, mid-west lady and I'm standing here, holding up the norms I can, but my arms are tired and I'd really really like to wave them around in panic?! All the voting, contacting lawmakers, protesting, boycotting hasn't worked. So. What now?

"Donald Trump is a monster and we desperately want to work with him" is a batshit position to take, it makes you sound like an insincere and feckless empty suit

"The collapse of American democracy is like the pandemic: Whatever you say at the beginning will sound alarmist – but likely prove inadequate by the end." Stuart Stevens

Being on, say, a crowded subway car at rush hour requires being in close proximity to people different from you in age, race, language, etc, and tolerating them as your equals as you navigate toward a shared goal (getting to work). Not the worst metaphor for a republic tbh

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

""And if you think it’s going to ... make sailors start treating women less like objects, then you haven’t been around the block very many times.”" Or maybe we could try expecting more of men? No matter where? Eh? Eh? Maybe? On a sub and in the club. From Davy in the Navy AND Bobby in the lobby.

You say: I worry about Trump's competency. The MAGA Boomer men in your life hear: Every man over the age of 65 is stupid, useless, and incompetent. Take 'em all out to the back pasture and relieve us of their misery. Starting with old man Trump and then YOU. 🙄

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

Imagine stormtroopers throwing you to the ground and handcuffing you and then a few days later voting for the leader of the stormtroopers to make billions from crypto. It’s fucking ridiculous. I really have so much contempt for these people

Nothing says No Kings in America like ... Uniformed Umbrella Butlers. Fabulous show of solidarity with the common people, DNC folks. Super proud. Snaps all around. A fancy Hamptons wedding with Huma and a Soros. *Exactly* the counter programming required for THIS moment, assholes. 🙄

They've detained a mayor, a Congresswoman, a union leader, and now a U.S. Senator. They've deployed marines to an American city. They are hosting a military parade. This isn't the Trump Administration, it's the Trump Regime.

You hate to see vigilante justice. And I don't even like cats much. But everything is terrible and companies rarely see the consequences of their corporate bad behavior, so hey sure yeah, let 'em face the consequences of employee bad behavior www.reddit.com/r/Indiana/s/...

Any chance the @democrats.org want to share clear, strong messaging on this? Eh? Maybe? Like so: Republicans are taking $1600 from you and giving your bosses $12,000 You and six of your coworkers, are chipping in $1600 each. To give Chad in the c-suite TWELVE GRAND back. That he won't even notice

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

God it really sucks. Like giving yourself a break at the gym, but so, so much worse.

When you went to the Iowa Writers Workshop but ended up in journalism

Have you ever wondered what RFK Jr smells like? Do you want to relive the joys of your HS burger flipping job while doing boring adult stuff like mowing the lawn and watching Tot Soccer? Do you want your milkshake* to bring all the boys** to the yard***? (*SPF ** Dogs ***Beach) Problem. Solved.

I can’t wait for some of the most insufferable voices on this app and across social media to start screaming that if we don’t come together with Trump voters then we are no better than Trump voters as they did in 2020 and as they did after Bush stole the election in 2000.

EXCUSE ME BUT I AM A SINGULAR AND EXTREMELY MEMORABLE FUCKWIT

These are crimes. And we need to say so.

This is ... this is the leader of this man's political party he's talking about. Threatening him. At what point does anyone listen to themselves when they talk?
