Hey @propublica.org

You need to explain why it looks like your story is based on the work of an independent journalist whom you've not credited nor compensated.

Maybe this was a miscommunication or something more insidious.

Either way doesn't look good.

Either that or Bondi has replaced all instances of Trump's name with Bill Clinton's

CBS News wasn't great to begin with but Bari Weiss is flat out destroying it.

Yup. The GOP has been against the ACA from the very beginning. They believe affordable healthcare is a privilege NOT a human right.

Found out Patton Oswalt was banned/suspended from Bluesky

WTH?

Lots of people on this site say WAY worse things that aren't song lyrics or sarcasm

How about the Bluesky team stop suspending the good people and go after the bad ones

Many churches do a lot of good and many are just businesses that serve to generate $ to enrich their "religious" leaders - they're scams. Scammy churches should be TAXED BIG. All churches should be REQUIRED to give a huge % of $ to the local community to be tax exempt and they must show the receipts

@aoc.bsky.social is a shoo-in for the Senate.

I sure hope she runs to replace Schumer in the Senate!

"The authoritarian doesn’t need to win arguments or offer genuine compromise. They need only inflict enough pain that resistance becomes morally unbearable... It’s a nasty tactic but an effective one. Create unbearable suffering...Then offer relief in exchange for political surrender."

If the US system remains trapped in an endless knife fight between a party of good government and a party of nihilistic governance then Europeans need to accept that the US will no longer be a stable partner long after Trump is gone

Scene is the edge of a high mountain cliff, with the anthropomorphic avatars of the Democratic Party & The Republican Party. The Democratic donkey, wearing a blue shirt, is holding a bamboo pole, about to walk out on a tightrope over a canyon. Standing next to him is the Republican elephant, extending his right arm over the canyon, and saying "Go ahead and cross. I promise to have a bridge finished before you get to the other side…"

Behind the elephant's back, he's clearly holding a hachet.

Emily Wilkins post on X:

"Kaine said while only 8 D's voted with R's, more wanted to see the shutdown end.

" I can tell you this, there were a lot more than 8 that were really happy that the 8 of us voted them the way we did."

"But I'm not going to put words in anybody's mouth.""

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.

If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

This seems like a worthwhile project people should get behind. Make Chuck and the Spineless Eight face the human suffering their actions will cause.

I think people will remember Schumer's fecklessness and Senate Democrats' betrayal every month when they get their health insurance bill that is 100-300% higher or when they need medical help but had to drop their ACA plan because they were priced out due to subsidies not being extended.

Dude you and the rest of the Senate Democrats threw ACA subsidies under the bus by caving on Sunday. And you guys tried to be sneaky about it too. The only thing we want to hear from Senate Democrats now is you're REMOVING Chuck Schumer as Senate Leader

EVERY Senate Democrat gets primaried UNLESS they immediately remove Chuck Schumer as leader. It wasn't just the 7 (and 1 Independent) who betrayed us, it was ALL OF THEM. Don't let them gaslight you. Senate Dems PLANNED to cave. It was coordinated to try to avoid some of the fallout. #VoteThemOut

Hey @support.bsky.team

Please unsuspend Sarah Kendzior's account

There is no way she did anything to warrant suspension

I'm guessing this is some kind of AI moderation error
