Substantive, sobering conversation on the Sunday show with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. Especially enjoyed the anecdotes about your two former profs – they’d be proud of you. Your latest will be my bedtime reading.

Well this is just a lie and this type of post belongs on Twitter. I can pull up 30 sitting republicans senators who condemned the murder in 2 minutes.

It’s a dark mark, but like Graham, he’s immune to feeling shame. Unlike Graham, whose only reward is proximity to power on the golf course, Rubio gets an official plane and a portrait in the Truman building. And I think that’s enough for him. It will have all been worth it.

For what it's worth, Poland has the largest European army in NATO.

Scott Jennings’s Cynical Ambitions The conservative pundit’s career was enabled by the very liberal institutions he now derides.

How are you gonna keep them in their old Kentucky home once they've seen Paris?

Yeah, but libertarians are also like: if you don’t care, then I don’t care that your kid died from smallpox either. Glad you had the choice and you’re dealing with the consequences of your own tragic decisions on your own.

The problem being that a record number of young people bothered to vote in the NY mayoral primary? You know - that once reliable group that establishment Dems seem hellbent on purging. Okay 🙄.

Looks rehearsed but appreciate the sentiment.

They miss us so bad.

To see black ICE officers participating in this thuggery kills me. Their ancestors are weeping.

I’m sure they had so much pride in that house and that it looked like a palace to you as a little one and still does 🥰

Hate seeing disinformation on bluesky.

In the midst of all that Afrikaner genocide.

This is not what disqualifies him. HHS secretaries rarely have medical backgrounds.

Sort of like when the term “French” was banned in government cafeterias by democratic legislators b/c France’s objections to the Iraq War hurt their sensibilities; so much so that they had to be renamed “freedom fries.”

Xavier Becerra was HHS secretary during a once in a century health crisis and he did a hell of a job. You don’t need a background in medicine to be HHS. RFK is a wacko bird.

Elaborate, please.

This perfectly describes both the Trump presidency and the Republican Congress. The only true thing he said today.

WaPo = Fake News

It would be a huge step forward for democrats if they stopped taking advice from Third Way. Credit due: this advice would have been useful in 2015.

Why don’t you link to your sources anymore? It’s so annoying.

I don’t think this would play out well in courtrooms and I’m pretty certain it would hurt the judicial process.

Loved watching this as much as anyone, but it wasn’t her own event; was a renaming ceremony for a county clerk. Reason they were compelled to use this occasion is b/c she hasn’t held a town hall in 2 years, her district office is always closed, & her office provides no constituent services.

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social is a treasure. When she’s a guest on any podcast I subscribe to, I know I need to bring out my pen and notepad.

Mc.Kinsey @ Co. sure outdid themselves this time.

You can’t possibly be equating a bystander exercising free speech with a masked federal agent in plain clothes, on the taxpayer’s dime spouting right-wing nonsense?

🙄 Foggy Bottom is West End.

Just so we’re keeping score & everyone understands where we are now: you live in a country where there are two tiers of citizenship, the government is sending people to concentration camps, the president sets the policies of elite universities, & there are security checkpoints in the capital city.

I know I’ve posted about this before, but you introduced me to Zweig in a podcast w/ @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. European history & German studies major at Georgetown and legit no recollection of Zweig. Absolutely fascinating. German & Austrian writers overlapped in my majors.
