@juliaturner.bsky.social @thehighsign.bsky.social @slate.com I'm excited to listen to Amy Poehler's interview with Kate McKinnon after hearing your endorsement.
Another quasi-celebrity interview with KMcK that precipitated warm and fuzzies for me (so uncool!) was Hillary Clinton's, on her pod.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.

Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Sometimes I believe that we will get through this for something better because we are yearning to take care of each other.
The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Resistance has a history.

And it mattered profoundly.

Successful or not, it showed backbone and a will to resist—and inspired others to do the same.

It fueled resistance in the North.
When Anthonhy Burns was kidnapped in Boston in 1854 under the auspices of the Fugitive Slave Act, thousands of ordinary white and Black Bostonians responded with outrage like this and stormed the jail in an unsuccessful attempt to free him.

The worst thing about following so many of these (excellent) political reporters is their perodic forays into sportsball posting.
(Other bad things include depression and dismay about authoritarianism etc.—not their fault.)

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

Conservative media criticism? We’ve got to do better, there must be some reason they don’t trust us

Liberal media criticism? Time to go on twitter and mock the libs so conservatives know I’m one of the cool ones

Until @wesleymorris.bsky.social explicated it on his podcast Cannonball, I'd always thought Lady Gaga here in "Applause" sang "kunst"—a cleverer cringe than "Koons."

NEWS: CBS News head of standards Claudia Milne has quit. It was announced in the network’s 9 am editorial meeting. Bari Weiss was not on the call. According to a source, Milne gave thanks but did not say why she’s leaving the network.

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets.

Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away.

We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.
