This makes me happy. We don’t agree on everything but he has walked the walk for the last few years and called stuff what it was on both sides. He will be a good voice on dem side. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don't really care if Elon Musk called Trump's awful bill a "disgusting abomination" (which it is) I DO care that he and Trump destroyed USAID Allegedly causing the deaths of 300,000 people-with 200,000 children among them And then CELEBRATED it

This is the way to do it. Brava @walshfreedom.bsky.social! Here to support!

Great to see this, @walshfreedom.bsky.social ! Hopefully you can help shake up things for the better! #WeWontBeSilentAnymore

Thanks @erosen1.bsky.social. I fucking intend to.👇

@walshfreedom.bsky.social WELCOME ABOARD! Ex-GOP Lawmaker Regrets Being ‘Divisive Political Asshole,’ Is Joining Democratic Party www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-wa...

Joe Walsh went from a Tea Party republican congressman til today he is a registered Democrat. This is due to Trump and MAGA. Joe believes we need a big tent and we need to fight like hell to get our country back. I agree with Joe, how about you?

Welcome aboard. We’re stronger together.

Welcome @walshfreedom.bsky.social to the #DemocraticParty you can see our amazing chat about the state of the US and his views right here youtu.be/HHx62Jwi2Hk

Happy to have you in this fight, Joe I've always been an outlier in the Democratic party bc of my adherence to fiscal sanity and support for the 2A - so it's good to see my views represented inside the tent It's time to push back.

@walshfreedom.bsky.social A guy like Joe Walsh is just what the Dems need! Your passion is a boost the #Dems lack! 👍👏✅ @nicollewallace.bsky.social #MSNBC

Thank you. We value your support & we recognize how tough this is. Welcome. (Wiping a few tears)

Coming up on @MSNBC with @nicollewallace.bsky.social at 5pm ET. I’m proud to have joined the Democratic Party today. I’ll explain why. Tune in.

Two truths: 1. It was never a “big, beautiful” bill. 2. This cowardly Republican Party deserves every single bit of the ugly infighting over this ugly bill that’s only just begun. Every bit of it.

@driftglass.bsky.social wow. "Strange bedfellows." Coalitions are shifting.

REPOST to welcome @walshfreedom.bsky.social to the Democratic Party! 💙🙋‍♀️💙

Four months ago.

This is good. This is the only reasonable move for someone who *actually* thinks that Trump presents a serious, massive threat to American democracy (and who thinks that democracy is a good thing).

And that’s what’s so damn scary.

Joe Walsh really is one of the few of these Never Trumpers to ACKNOWLEDGE his own complicity in getting us here - that Trump didn’t come out of nowhere but rather the stage was set for him by decades of bad-faith conservative propaganda from people like Walsh.

Actually worth a read. Seriously.

When a former rabid Tea Partier like @walshfreedom.bsky.social formally joins the Democratic Party, and says "I can’t wait to endorse @AOC over any Republican she might run against. I’m proud now to be in the same big tent with AOC."…well, folks, *something is up*.

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

Genuine arms-open welcome. Read the piece. Joe's a good, smart guy.

The water’s fine! Welcome, my friend @walshfreedom.bsky.social A former GOP Congressman. A former Tea Party leader. Now fighting for democracy Because this isn’t right vs. left—it’s freedom vs. authoritarianism — TN

This shouldn't be underestimated

Just like Daddy, Jr continues to spread the “stolen election” lie. Such dishonest people.

I encourage every never Trumper and sane Republican to follow @walshfreedom.bsky.social and join with us in saving the country from Trump and MAGA

I left the Republican Party 5yrs ago. Today, I’m joining the Democratic Party. Here’s why…

While too many people who formally had some sense of decency, morality and respect for the rule of law and democracy have hopped on the MAGA crazy car, @walshfreedom.bsky.social has courageously fought that and is now a Democrat. Kudos, Joe. You are not alone… open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Thanks @erosen1.bsky.social. I fucking intend to.👇

NEW: Former Tea Party Republican Congressman @walshfreedom.bsky.social announces he has joined the Democratic Party: "I’m becoming a Democrat because I’m pissed off. I’m pissed off at the ignorant, lying madman in the WH who’s using his position to only enrich himself and his fat cat friends..."

No Lie with @briantylercohen.bsky.social

If you see this announcement through a prism of politics or partisan ship, you're not recognizing what it is. Joe Walsh is choosing right over wrong, good over bad. More need to do this. If four GOP in the House and four in the Senate did, it would change everything - for the better.

I don’t always agree with Joe, but he’s sane and pragmatic and recognizes the difference between right and wrong. This makes him a better human, in my book, than 98% of sitting Republicans who have ignored the horrors of this administration. Glad to welcome Joe to the light to help us in our fight.

This morning I’m fighting back against Donald Trump’s executive order that targeted me. And I’m calling on government watchdogs to investigate the Trump Administration — because “revenge orders” have no place in America. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/treason/...

Honestly, from my soul, thank you @walshfreedom.bsky.social I’m basically conservative but believe in human rights & the value of every human who wants to contribute to our society. That’s why with few exceptions, I have voted Democrat my entire life. Perfect? No. But better than the alternative

(1,3) My friend @walshfreedom.bsky.social is fighting, and he is fighting for America. He is making a decision today that only a year ago he could not have made. Trust me, as someone who traveled with him fighting for Democracy, socialcontractwithjoewalsh.substack.com/p/from-the-t...

I’m a freedom-loving conservative. I left the Republican Party 5yrs ago. Today, I’m doing something I never thought I’d do - I’m formally joining the Democratic Party. Here’s why:👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

To hate another human being for their gender identity or sexual orientation is the marker of someone whose humanity is fundamentally broken.

So, let's recap: Since last Tuesday, Trump has golfed twice? He was a no-show at the WH last Tuesday and Today. That leaves last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as his heavy work days. Part-Time President?

Trumpism, in a nutshell.👇 www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...
