@podsaveamerica.crooked.com You guys must be beaming with such pride. Watching Obama at his best is so calming and soothing. And he’s hilarious! It’s cathartic to just imagine how miserable this speech will make Trump! Obama justifiably ridiculed him but also said everything else that was necessary.

@marcelias.bsky.social I actually think if Trump could pick between an election he won fraudulently and one he won fair and square—he would prefer the one that was fraudulent!!Not only is cruelty the point; the grift is also the point! (Thanks for all you do…)

@samsteindc.bsky.social I heard Tim claim that you are a B on TV. Not true! You’re an A on both TV and YouTube. Don’t know what he was talking about…

@timmiller.bsky.social Why are you so sure that keeping kids out of school in 2020 was an obvious excess. Teachers were at risk of getting covid and dying. Were hundreds more deaths a reasonable price to pay for putting kids back in school? It’s not an easy decision—and it’s certainly not obvious.

@michaelcohen212.bsky.social Here’s why liberals are disgusted w/you. We’re the ones who offered you grace after you were discarded by Trump. We trusted that you understood what a cruel, deeply flawed person Trump is. And you betrayed us. You ran back to a vindictive monster because you were bored!

@engber.bsky.social Your story on the vindictive prosecutions of scientists in relation to the origin of the Covid pandemic doesn’t mentions that every respected, credible scientist in the field believes it’s far more likely that the Covid virus was NOT introduced into humans through a lab leak!

@sanders.senate.gov Take back your endorsement of Platner!!! There is no reason not to. This is not about his personal life; it’s rape!! You are revealing that you are not good with women’s issues. Not a good look. We have to make character front and center if we have any hope of taking back power!!

@ahylton26.bsky.social Please don’t ask stupid rhetoric questions like: “Are we better off than we were before the war began?” OF COURSE WE AREN’T!!!! By saying that, you are making it sound like perhaps we are or perhaps we aren’t! It’s not at all a close call! I stopped watching when I heard that!

@timmiller.bsky.social FYI: The phrase “hoi polloi” refers to the common people, the masses, or the general populace. I know the expression sounds like it’s referring to the elite, but it actually means the opposite.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social please post that gut-wrenching segment with Eddie. I would like to post it. Thanks!!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Welcome back; your conversations with Bernie & Lovett were just what I needed tonight. There’re too many journalists out there pondering whether Trump will pull ‘this’ off. WTF! He’s a sadistic, dangerous, delusional thug—and every move he’s made has been reckless & idiotic!

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social PRESIDENT TRUMP’S APPROVAL SINKS TO 33% IN NEW UMASS POLL!!!!!!!!!!! “Amidst war with Iran and deepening disapproval over his handling of inflation, immigration, jobs and tariffs, 17% of 2024 Trump voters now express reservations about their vote choice.”

@crooked.com Jon Ossoff is indeed hot!! I’m a 70 year old very progressive Jew who is deeply disappointed in my tribe. Ossoff gives me hope; he may be the first Jewish president. Much better candidate than Josh Shapiro!! Has some of Obama’s talents. I LOVE this clip: www.facebook.com/reel/1620854...

@timmiller.bsky.social I’m so glad you keep pointing out Lovett’s line about antisemitism. Calling out Israel’s role in getting us into this war isn’t antisemitic. It’s simply stating the truth. Blaming the Jewish lobby AIPAC is also not antisemitic. They are monsters who support insurrectionists.

@timmiller.bsky.social I could only tolerate 12 minutes of David Frum. I feel like he learned NOTHING from the mistakes of the Iraq War—mistakes that he participated in promoting. I wanted to hear how you countered him, but he agitated me too much when he started lecturing about the Democrats…

@ossoff.bsky.social I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that I believe you are on the path to greatness. I haven’t felt this way since seeing Obama in ‘04 giving his “no red states/no blue states” speech at the Democratic convention. FYI: I’m a 70 year old, very progressive Jewish mom.

@jheil.bsky.social Why were you and Nicolle unwilling to point out that Trump obviously has debilitating learning disabilities himself—including ADHD and dyslexia—on top of being fairly stupid? (It’s why he can’t read!!) Are you scared you’d get sued by Trump for diagnosing him from a distance? 😳

@jonfavs.bsky.social Love your MSNOW show; you guys are the best. But I have a suggestion: change the background you use when you start the show. At the very least, get rid of the shelf and put a Pod Save America icon like Dan has.

@thebulwark.com Hi guys—ignore the accusations of antisemitism directed at you; feel righteous criticizing Israel. I’m a 70yo Jewish woman deeply disturbed by the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, Iran and the West Bank. The U.S. must stop sending my tax dollars to help Israel commit war crimes.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social I am listening to your conversation with Gen-Zers about dating and commitment. It wasn’t that different for baby boomers born in the 1950s and 1960s (who dated during second wave feminism). The significant changes in dating occurred between boomers and their parents.

@jvl.bsky.social You say “Rebecca take us home” but you don’t play her song. What’s up with that?!!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Is there a reason why your wrap up show that aired on Tuesday is not uploaded in podcast form? I’d like to share it with friends and on social media…

@douglasemhoff.bsky.social As a liberal Jew who’s horrified by the genocide in Gaza—I want to emphasize that being anti-Zionist is also not antisemitic. You understand being anti-Netanyahu isn’t antisemitic—but nor are anti-Zionists who believes that democracy isn’t compatible with ethnonationalism.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com There’s something wrong with your recent episode download. Whenever I try to play it, it says unable to download.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Today was the first time I heard you say something I disagreed with: unlike you, I MUCH prefer the old art deco bathroom than the marble redo!

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social Just wanted to tell you that you are a very quick learner. That’s my observation watching you cover for Lawrence O’Donnell this week. 👍👍(Your mom must be kvelling!)

What a disgrace!!!!!

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social Listening to your Bulwark Takes with Andrew Egger, I realized you both still don’t get what an existential threat climate change is! What Trump said was indeed crazy and dangerous. Do you still have some remnants of climate change denial from your years on the right?

@msnbc.com Your firing of Matthew Dowd was wrong!! All he did was tell the truth!! Don’t obey in advance or you will be as useless as every other cable channel!!!

@michaelsteele.bsky.social You would be more credible if you could let go of your attachment to being a Republican. That Republican does not exist. I question whether it ever existed. Just accept that you thought it existed, and let it go. It’s holding you back and overly impacting your insights.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social Don’t feed the anti-vaxxers! JVL is correct about the the diversity of the response to Covid. But it’s also important to understand the difference between deciding what should be done to save lives in real time vs. in retrospect. Wouldn’t you err on the side of caution?

💯% DARVO. Deny Attack Reverse Victim and Offender It’s at the front of every narcissistic and sociopathic abuser’s playbook.

#HoldThemAllAccountable

Too many Democrats are too timid to speak out against war with Iran, falsely believing that staying on the sidelines absolves them of the consequences of such colossal decisions. Email your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran... Email your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

@jheil.bsky.social I’m listening to ur conversation w/Jeremy Bash, & am grateful for how you were able to shake Jeremy up a bit and make him see that today’s Netanyahu is not the Netanyahu of 10-20 years ago. At this moment, I don’t trust a word out of Netanyahu’s mouth any more than I trust Trump.

@jonlovett.bsky.social Hard to listen to Bill Mayer. He’s so defensive and insecure. And a complete jerk.

I wrote an essay explaining how we got to this miserable place, and I analyzed what I witnessed through the lens of evolution. Any comments are welcome: medium.com/@topolj/how-...

US Attorney Danielle Sassoon’s single voice of principled protest should become a chorus loud enough to drown out the weasel-like treachery of Emil Bove on behalf of Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s co-presidency. Everyone needs to read her eloquent words: big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/athena/files...

@danpfeiffer.bsky.social I think the comment feature is disabled on your very recent Substack post—even for subscribers…

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I watched a clip of you speaking today, and suddenly realized that you are the perfect candidate for president in 2028! Hope you are considering running!!

@danpfeiffer.bsky.social After reading your book on the Big Lie—I’m left wondering why you didn’t mention the role played by disinformation in your post on why Republicans are winning the messaging war? They won, in part, bc they were more than willing to fabricate whatever voters wanted to hear.

They’re planning a heist in plain sight.
