My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Much like @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social is actually the thing people like Mitt Romney & the other cowardly Never Trumpers pretend to be, @thebulwark.com has become the thing Bari Weiss & The Free Press & the fundamentally unserious new media outlets pretend to be.
With things like Olivia Nuzzi interview this week and their Mamdani interview in the closing weeks of the campaign, it's striking how @thebulwark.com has, over time, become a legitimately major influential news outlet beyond topics that are directly anti-Trump.

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.

Barack Obama gave us a #CupOfJoe in 2008 that brought tears to my eyes. “The true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, & unyielding hope.”

I hate when people ask me, “Why are you so quiet?” I’m quiet because that’s how I function. I don’t ask others, “Why do you talk so much?” That would be rude.

Mark your calendar: CBS Sunday Morning and @brian-goldstone.bsky.social
Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
