SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Demonizing Democracy The Right has long derided any attempt at leveling racial and social hierarchies as anti-American “socialism” or “communism.” What they are actually fighting is equality. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

imo it would be better if the president were not crazy.

Yesterday the president of the United States posted to Truth Social seven consecutive "Truths" showing different maps of the American Southwest with "New Mexico" replaced by "New America." He then posted an image showing the US flag superimposed over all of North America, Greenland, and Iceland.

We are being tested to see if we will fold. We won’t. Rest when you need to, log off when it’s too heavy, but never, ever give up hope. That is exactly what they want. Let's keep moving, keep fighting, and keep looking out for one another. It might

I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"

I am taking down the paywall for this one, as I believe it remains relevant as a potential antidote to cynicism and declinism. The glass is half-full. Or at least this is my attempt to argue it might be. We are confronted with a world-historic chance. The German version of this week’s piece:

steady.pageEine welthistorische ChanceDie Rechten rasten aus, weil wir nahe dran sein könnten zu beweisen, dass eine egalitäre plurale Demokratie möglich ist. Eine optimistische Interpretation dieses Moments.

Happy July 4th, USA. May the promise of a better nation one day be realized for every one of us who live under its flag; also and independently, may we all finish the day with the same number of fingers as we started it.

The skill that would have paid off here is a real person who knows how to draw how a sink works - too bad they replaced them with AI

I'm not a plumber. But I'm pretty sure that's not how sinks work.

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

András Tóth-Czifra@minczifra.bsky.social

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

Aman Batheja@amanbatheja.bsky.social

Rep. John Larson introduced articles of impeachment against Trump this week. He says a member of Democratic leadership told him a failed impeachment push risks being framed as tacit approval of Trump’s conduct. An immediate vote, he says, is “probably not going to happen” time.com/article/2026...
