Tried and true classic liberal Democrat. Believe in America. Believe in science. Believe we can disagree and still coexist.

This is hilarious. I love @timmiller.bsky.social move toward shock jock status... 😆 🤟Trio Bitches!
"'She put her finger right between my booty crack, so I grabbed her wrist quick and said, Hold up, slut, ain't nobody sticking nothing in my butt.' You think that's Kid Rock or Bad Bunny?" "Why are you doing this to me?" @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Pod:
Maybe we beed some kind of political campaign finance laws that separate the president from the congress? Some way of enforcing some kind of independence at the congressional level. IDK, but we need something.
Again, it would be good if someone in DC (and at the NYT) demanded to know the legal justification for bombing Iran right now, instead of just treating this as something to be decided by the will of the god emperor,
Let's see AI do *that* 😆
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
This interview hits on a central truth about progressive/Dems issues in governance...but it actively avoids an obvious truth IMHO - In the end SOMEONE must be given the power to make the decisions, and they will be villified by those who don't like the decision. youtu.be/XiIxWtNspZI?...
There should be no wrangling. Congress are the People's representatives. They should know.
Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.
Congress needs to pass a law that no federal employee is allowed to sign an NDA related to the government. We have clearances and classifications if we need information safeguarded.
Jodi Kantor in the NY Times reports that the Chief Justice requested Court employees sign nondisclosure agreements in November 2024 - moving to formal contracts requiring silence/confidentiality after Trump was reelected: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
I feel like this would be as bad for GOP as Dems? Texas and Florida have plenty of these folks...and that would harm them.
🚨BREAKING: In a case that could have profound nationwide consequences for elections, the state of Missouri has sued to block the federal government from including undocumented immigrants and temporary visa holders in the country’s once-a-decade census count. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
So I really really hate to type this...but I think it matters when these allegations were made. Pretty 2015 and I think they are on more solid ground. Post 2016 and definitely post Epstein becoming an issue these could easily be cranks. Mentioning just the popular suspects (Musk, etc)?
The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.
Remember folks, we have a criminal president who has crimed his whole life...so he feels he's been (unfairly) "targeted" by the law his whole life...so he's just doing to his enemies what he's felt has been done to him. Because he can't understand he's a criminal.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Now they should do Kyle Rittenhouse. 😆 I believe they were extolling the virtues of the heroic man coming into the city with an assault weapon to keep the peace.
I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

The regime and many of its supporters are surprised to see so many people in America define "Us" as "my neighbors, my city, my state, my country," rather than as "my race and gender." And they seem to have real trouble processing the idea of taking risks to help others and stand on principle.

"Just like the killing of Renée Good, Saturday morning’s shooting once again raises the question of why it is so damned difficult to hold federal officers—and the federal government itself—accountable if and when they violate our rights." Me on the federal accountability gap—and how to close it:

Hey Senator @fetterman.senate.gov are you going to stand with the working people of America like you did in central PA or are you going to stand with a lawless corrupt President and his wealthy backers? Time to decide who you really are John.
I think now there’s a chance even Fetterman might vote against more ICE funding.

having seen it, I found it shocking they shot him while agents were still in contact with him, I'm sure we will get a frame by frame break down but I think they shot him while ICE agents were in the way, these people are out of control and insane.
This is the sort of disprovable and fantastical statement that the state produces in a society where the trust relationship between it and the public has been totally shattered. It’s just an attempt to brute force reality

If a liberal government had said this, the media would be flocking to every western diner to talk to the "don't tread on me" dudes and to see every sovereign citizen arm themselves to the teeth...and they'd nod sagely as it being necessary and right.
DHS (once again) announces conclusion (within 3 hours) without any investigation. - Conclusion about federal agent's intent - Conclusion about individual's intent - Implicit conclusion about timing of disarming the individual and shooting him
I thought everyone flying this flag was proclaiming some principle about freedom and America. ...but I guess not because I haven't heard sh*t from these guys and the federal gov has killed a man for HAVING A GUN. Yo 2A bros where you at!?
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

A new survey shows 40%+ of execs say AI saves them 8+ hrs/week while ~2/3 of non-managers say it saves <2 hrs or nothing. This is the second time I’ve seen this split, and it explains the CEO hype vs rank-and-file worker ambivalence. LLMs excel at summaries and email drafts, aka exec busywork.
Respectfully, I wish they would stop with the "grandpa", "insane", etc stuff. Just say "he is unfit to hold the office and needs to be removed." No, "take the keys" stuff.
McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.
