I've sometimes written things powerful people liked! It's gonna happen sometimes. I actually love doing features & reviews on work that deserves attention. Thing is, that's not why I wrote the piece they liked. Plus, at some point you have to choose btw certain people liking you vs telling the truth

I was on Senate Floor in October 1991 when Congresswomen marched over to protest the handling of the Thomas nomination. In the next cycle, incumbents lost primaries and women Senators were elected. I encourage House Democrats to make a similar protest tomorrow. @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov

I have been reading TPM since the Iraq War. Produces great journalism and journalists. Membership is definitely worth it.
Here's an unsolicited plug for Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo media site: I've started my day with @tpm.bsky.social since the G.W. Bush administration, relying on its deep political insight and dot connecting. Check it out, and consider becoming a member to support what it's doing so well:

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts.
