He argued for my extermination with civility. Yes that’s what’s all about, the American way, let’s give him a hand! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

Delete your Twitter account.

one reason i raised my eyebrows about people staying on X was precisely because people seem to adjust themselves to the horrors and moral coarseness the site provides on a regular basis

big shoutout to @minakimes.bsky.social specifically for doing the legwork of getting people over here and building a community I love bluesky but it has always lagged behind on sports and it really feels, so far, that is no longer necessarily true for football

Mina is the straw the stirs the drink

Ezra Klein November 1861 (6 months after Fort Sumter attacked by Confederacy): maybe we should start taking the threat of Southern succession seriously? Reactionary centrists call him a visionary.

I think this may be what they're worried about ... Is This The Hidden Part of the Trump-Epstein Drama? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-th...

I think the media really underestimate how pissed the left is at them, and they are going to learn the hard way that the left was most of their audience (see: Post, Washington).

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age

This is one those things you see and you think "how much longer can @schumer.senate.gov let this guy go on?" but I actually think it's too late to stop him.

what about your personal history as an author makes you think that getting published is evidence of quality?

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Arguably the greatest thing ever committed to print

First, the private sector needs real-time, trustworthy information about the economy. If the government will not provide it, the private sector needs to develop tools to provide that data for itself. Not AI slop numbers. Not "corrections" to the (presumably cooked) federal data. Actual data. 2/

I almost never represent cops, for pretty obvious reasons, but also to avoid conflicts because I sue a lot of cops. But this one needed to happen. The facts needed to be litigated, and the jury agreed to the tune of $7.25M.

A thing media outlets could do to improve their credibility is to cease the practice by which the body of the article is attributed to a real person, but the headline, social media posts and push notifications linking to the article and placement of the article are all totally anonymously decided.

A pivotal moment for Europe is here. We are ready to mobilise up to €800 billion to help EU countries increase defence spending. We'll present our proposals to all EU leaders at today's European Council meeting. Europe is resolved to assume its responsibilities ↓ europa.eu/!T37kVf

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

@stoneykeeley.bsky.social Jeez Stoney. Whatchu you doing?!

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.
