Hey @kristenwelker.bsky.social, have you seen Elon Musk’s daily posts promoting racism and white supremacy over at his town square?
Hey @kristenwelker.bsky.social I didn’t see you ask republicans during election season about controversial comments from Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, nutjob preachers or anything of the sort. Why now? Oh never mind…we see you. You reinforce every week why I do not watch you.
Good response. Welker was sucking up to Miller at the WH Correspondents dinner. Maybe she should be asked about that.
Remind me again what Piker is running for, and why every Dem is responsible for what he may have said in the past?
Raskin after Kristen Welker plays him clips of controversial Hasan Piker comments and asks him to react to them: "I think all of that is an irrelevant distraction"
Given the close ties between Pax Silica and Peter Thiel’s network, it blows my mind how little attention Pax Silica is getting. The proposed Philippines “economic zone” is supposed to be the “first of many” around the world. Has no one in the MSM heard of the Thiel-backed “Network State” movement???
Jenny Cohn@jennycohn.bsky.social · 2mo ago“US Ambassador to the Philippines Lee Lipton has hailed the Pax Silica project…as a source of 'endless jobs' for Filipinos,” but the “claim has drawn criticism on social media, with several commenters calling the initiative a form of 'modern colonialism'.” 7/17/26 … 1/

I keep reading legacy media reports about the daily actions of Trump, as if he were a normal president, as if he wasn’t intent on democracy’s destruction & ignoring the rule of law. This crook has gotten away with crimes all his life because he was not judged clearly as a criminal flouting the law.
Even from a purely national pride perspective, this requires you to think that the 100 year period from 1926 was a failure for the United States, instead of the zenith of its power, prosperity, and influence
Trump has hired a company run by this guy, Richard Rosen, for $2.7M to work on the algae problem in the Reflecting Pool. Last year, he was convicted of voting in two states in the 2016 presidential election. Gee, wonder who he supported. Story here: www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Maybe moderates should focus less on condemning the socialists who have basically no power and more on the fascists in power
Yale’s Office of Public Affairs banned reporters from Yale’s campus today. It’s corroborated by Francie Diep in her story for the @chronicle.com. This was an attempt to squelch press coverage today of the rally protesting Yale’s attacks on freedom of expression, their pending deal with Trump. 1/
Pretty telling as the media feels the need to confront every Democrat with Hasan Piker, the revelation that the president’s most loyal aide is seemingly unvetted and unstable just kind of faded because Trump didn’t concede anything and few on the right were challenged about her.
We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
From @markjacob.bsky.social: Venezuela headlines show "a news industry that has been laundered of a basic sense of right and wrong. Shockingly few people in the media are asking: Do we really want to be a country that blows people up and steals from them?" www.stopthepresses.news/p/trumps-arm...
