Woof. Bad take, Tim

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Watch @podsaveamerica.crooked.com 's @jonfavs.bsky.social's powerful response to our interview with a U.S. citizen who was brutalized by ICE

Please give this a listen. It's 10 minutes and well worth it. And it gets really deep at the end. Thank you, Jon Favreau.

It’s tragic what happened to Charlie Kirk, and worse to see his death twisted into propaganda. Jon Favreau’s intro on Pod Save America cuts through with honesty. If you’re tired of partisan poison, listen in. Honor the fallen by standing for truth, not lies.

Jon Favreau on the Reaction to Charlie Kirk's Assassination I’ve said in a few different places now that Kirk’s murder really rattled me. But what’s honestly rattled me more has been the reaction.

Very good -

Dare I ask why?

A mom who is a legal US citizen gets separated from her family by ICE GOONS after getting back home from a family vacation.

Trump, Putin, the Internet, social media, democracy, AI, climate change, and basically the history of the last decade - loved this conversation with @jonfavs.bsky.social on Offline.

Homepage | Vote Save America Vote Save America is the one-stop shop for everything you need to get informed, get involved, and get out the vote in the most important election of our lifetime.

It should enrage all of us, but it should also motivate us to beat the everliving hell out of every last Republican politician in ‘26 and again ‘28.

Donald Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since January, but Republicans cared more about making him happy than they did about the people who sent them to Washington to make their lives better.

They don’t deserve this cruelty. No one does. Especially not in the richest country on Earth, where people with the most power just used it to make themselves even richer.

“Well, that’s what they voted for.“

“They should’ve known better.”

Sure, maybe. But the brunt of the pain will be felt by babies, kids, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, people who are barely making it, people who fled danger to save their children.

So, shitty day!

I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today.

Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them.

The 3.5% Protest Rule That Could Bring Down Trump | Crooked Media

Here’s a link to the episode: crooked.com/podcast/the-...

This is even more hopeful than you might think - on today’s very timely @podsaveamerica.crooked.com, I talk to @chenoweth.bsky.social about their 3.5% rule - the finding that nonviolent protest movements haven’t failed when 3.5% of the country is engaged.

One of the best convos I’ve had this year
