" This is so tailor-made for MTG, isn't it?... It's got all of it fantastical, wild conspiracy, anti-Chinese, latent racist little jag there and then, of course, fuck the Republican party." Alex Wagner to @timmiller.bsky.social on Mitch McConnell missing and MTG's subsequent reaction.

Mohammad Paktiawal died in ICE custody. He fought with our troops. He was not here illegally or a criminal. He worked & had a family. There was no reason for his detention. This ongoing inhumanity is a national shame. Powerful @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/ice-is-sho...

What will the Republican Party look like after the end of the Trump era? Tim Miller of the Bulwark makes the case that it will look more like one of Europe's far-right, anti-immigrant parties rather than a return to classic Reagan-era Republicans. @timmiller.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/theb...

“He doesn't care about the Haitian kids that got mocked as dog eaters in their school or that got wrongly deported. He doesn't care about fucking Renee Good, who got shot by police.” @jvl.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social do a reading of JD Vance's book and find it's full of BS.
I finally got caught up with @timmiller.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social's conversation with @warnock.senate.gov I cannot recommend it enough. Stop what you're doing & go listen. The Bulwark Podcast: Raphael Warnock: Fight for Your Democracy arttrk.com/p/ABMA5/clrt...

I get asked a lot what races are worth donating to. The honest answer is I think most political donations are a waste & campaigns piss away astonishing amounts of resources. Today’s newsletter offers a skeptics list of races worth supporting. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-democr...

A crazy quote. Classic Kinsley gaffe.
"If you told a bunch of business leaders this could become oligarchic, they would be like, sign me up." @jasonmcalacanis.bsky.social says Trump’s billionaire allies think oligarchy sounds great. But @timmiller.bsky.social warns backlash is coming, and it's going to be "pitchforks and socialism."
"So Greg Bovino wants to deport 31.1% of America. And all blacks and Hispanics combined for 31.3% of America." @jvl.bsky.social, @timmiller.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social break down Bovino’s 2028 fantasy and the ugly math behind his "106 million" mass deportation claim.

@timmiller.bsky.social on Trump storming out of his interview with Kristen Welker: "It's unbelievable, honestly, that the American people could put this fucking ass clown in the White House."
"Just shameful, cowardly, cuckolded behavior from Bill Cassidy, who just two days ago said that the slush fund was designed with explicit intent to be an attack on the democratic foundations of the country." @timmiller.bsky.social slams Cassidy for voting to keep Trump's $1.8B slush fund alive.

"We did Nazi-adjacent shit to people based on their tattoos—the U.S. government did. Susan Collins is the chair of the Appropriations Committee. She could've stopped that... She didn't do it." @timmiller.bsky.social has a CECOT refresher for everyone morally grandstanding about Susan Collins.
Can’t say how happy I am to see @timmiller.bsky.social bring @brotherjones.bsky.social on @thebulwark.com today. The GOP is trying to implement Jim Crow 2.0. Rep. Jones is one of the bravest and clearest voices for justice in the South, really in America. www.thebulwark.com/p/justin-jon...

Yes, this is the single best insider story I've read about the Democrats' strategic and tactical mistakes (and what has started to work).
Today's long-read recommendation. If you're a political obsessive like me, you'll probably do what I did: read every word (and there are thousands). One big takeaway for me: the political significance of YouTube. (I'm old, but you probably already knew that 🙂). www.thebulwark.com/p/heres-what...
"How did that thing go that you said as a kid... Sally sells seashells on the seashore. Sally never got indicted — I don't believe Sally was ever indicted." @timmiller.bsky.social and @jamescomey.bsky.social on the absurdity of the '8647' seashell indictment.
"That is a much more fulfilling life than...pretending like you didn't see that Donald Trump sent 55 bleats last night about how Barack Obama should be jailed." @timmiller.bsky.social has some life advice for Republicans who know better but are too afraid of their own voters to say so.
Cackling and crying at @adamserwer.bsky.social ‘s observation in convo with @timmiller.bsky.social that if you resurrected Ulysses grant today and told him this is how they were doing from scotus on down, he would not be surprised at all. The only thing he’d be surprised at is that it’s Republicans
The highlight of my week so far is @timmiller.bsky.social asking @jamescomey.bsky.social about ball maxxing
