Very fair points 👏🏻👏🏻 - sky high bar, no doubt.

Increasingly likely that Sen. Mullin is the dumbest MFer in the entire US Congress.

Finally found the perfect response.

I offer this as a grateful recovering alcoholic whose life was saved by AA…he might need to rework a few of the steps.

👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼

None of this demands rebuttal or defense, obviously…but @repauchincloss.bsky.social frames it perfectly - even if he felt under threat (dubious), no one watching the footage (objectively) could accept that the agent who murdered Renee Good had no other option.

Seems suboptimal.

Not bad for a mid January rainy day in East TN! @indivisibleknox.bsky.social

👊🏼👊🏼

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov for God's sake, if we can't respond - simply, forcefully - to deeply dangerous & flagrantly illegal conduct by POTUS...then we do not deserve to lead anything or anyone.

Thank you to @adamsmith.house.gov for your clarity.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Am always exceedingly proud of my kids, but tonight feel especially proud that they’ll share an alma mater (Webb School, Knoxville) with @aftynbehn.bsky.social - who ran a hell of a race tonight in #TN7 & gave so many of us a real reason to feel hopeful for TN’s future.

@mets.com baseball is a business, of course; players come & go, things happen. But certain departures sting a little more than others.

We’re gonna miss you, Brandon - thank you for everything.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@nytimes.com homepage, Sunday 11AM…the story & pics are perfectly fine, but for God’s sake.

There are many more of us than there are of them.
We must never forget this, no matter how dark things may (correctly) seem.

@justmets.bsky.social

He is much weaker & more vulnerable than you think, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov
HOLD THE LINE!!!

She means you, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

No one deserves to meet his eternal reward this way - but imagine, just for a sec, if a comparably influential progressive media figure were tragically shot & killed.

Now imagine the right wing & Republicans being held to the same moral standards in their responses.

Nope - I couldn’t either.

Hey, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - with all due respect, it is time to endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social - he is the nominee of *your* party, overwhelmingly supported by *your* district’s own voters.

Strongly recommend getting on the train before it’s really too late - folks will remember.

Are you listening @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov ???????

"Their insistence on owning guns, with very few restrictions, means that mass shootings—including in schools and churches—will always be part of American life."

Fundamental question from @jvl.bsky.social -

"Why won’t people just acknowledge that this is a tradeoff they’re willing to make?"

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The Obsession Over Woke Language Misses the Point The focus on certain words is a way to avoid much tougher questions.

@danpfeiffer.bsky.social offers a helpful, reflective perspective on the Dems' language debate...and as is often the case, it's much more of a both/and, vs. either/or.

Again, for @housedemocrats.bsky.social & @senatedemocrats.bsky.social leadership in the cheap seats - the POTUS painfully reminds almost every day he is a shockingly addled old man - functionally incapable of leading a neighborhood potluck, let alone this country.
Call it out, stop accepting it.

🧵re: CDC shooting - feels trite to keep offering the “can you even imagine” takes - but can you even imagine the firestorm (& not just on Fox) if this were a Black shooter enraged over DOGE cuts & a white PO had been killed?
It’s stunning how much right wing depravity we’ve decided to just accept.
