I met US soccer player Tim Weah in an airport bathroom. I informed him that the hand dryer wasn’t working right as we both finished washing our hands. He said “damn” and we both left with wet hands.

I do enjoy the country-specific name changes for No Kings protests this weekend

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

He is uniquely obsessed with windmills to the point that he’s killing jobs in red states www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-want...

That could be basically any American city on any given day.

I have long held the belief that Gavin Newsom would do well in a national campaign because low-info voters would view him as "a businessman" purely because he looks like Gordon Gekko

You don’t have to do this silly stuff in order to call what ICE is doing now abusive and wrong.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

we're extremely close to the meme becoming reality

The entire modern conservative movement’s existence and future depends upon the base being kept inside a hermetically-sealed cable and social media bubble, so that they can tell them demonstrable lies about the real world. Tell them up is down, hot is cold, black is white, and be *believed*.

“She got to go into the little town there,” he said, “and try not only their cooking class but also got to try their gelato, if you know what that is.” If a Congressman said this to me while describing a free trip to Lake Como, I would start cursing at them in Italian www.notus.org/congress/law...

No Labels and their consultants upon hearing of the Elon/Trump feud

Whoops www.thebulwark.com/p/big-beauti...

Exactly one week after sitting in a restaurant booth next to RFK Jr I have developed a fever. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Trump thinks its a mystery why so many people who have worked for him call him a phony and a psycho

New York politics is a damn freak show www.thebulwark.com/p/the-democr...

New works have been put up from this year’s Congressional art competition. Some favorites

I asked Rand Paul about Elon Musk’s tweet and he said “uhh, I haven’t seen it” even though he quote tweeted it

No one seems to have any clue when Hegseth will make this appointment he promised Ernst he would make that was key in securing her vote. www.thebulwark.com/p/pete-hegse...

The thing that makes me angriest is the lack of contrition. These people are directly culpable for their friend being torn from her family. But they pretend that her arrest is an act of God, like a tornado, that just . . . happened. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

Resisting the urge to fall into the trap of getting mad at the younger generation being babies because I remembered all the millennial trend pieces that were mostly BS. But boy this is a hard one to not become (unnecessarily) crotchety about www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/b...

wait till Chris Rufo hears about this shit there's gonna be hell to pay

The GOP's largest donor and face of the "cut spending" movement is calling the Republican budget a pile of dogshit and it's silence from Dems www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-hands...

New from @cheetah.bsky.social on congressional stock trading: "Having access to inside information that can crater or catapult markets appears to be extremely lucrative for members of Congress, some of whom outperform the world’s leading hedge funds." www.thebulwark.com/p/how-trumps...

(Dr. Evil voice) The "Liberation Day" "pause" was a "gold rush" www.thebulwark.com/p/how-trumps...

Nick Clegg makes compelling argument in favor of requiring use permission for artists

Don’t take small joys away from your summer activities. Just demand mega corporations stop burning 1,000x more fossil fuels per minute and waterboarding dolphins with crude or whatever they do

There was a real effort to pretend they weren't going to cut Medicaid www.thebulwark.com/p/gop-modera...

Everyone join this Reddit AMA to tell @jvl.bsky.social how much we need a Bulwark office in Italy www.reddit.com/r/thebulwark...

"Don't fuck around with Medicaid" was interpreted differently depending on who you asked. Some understood it to mean "fuck with it more" while others said "we've fucked with it the right amount." Regardless, it's gonna be fucked. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-does-...

Many grafs in: "You can infer only so much from a short-term study, which didn't measure muscle growth or changes in strength, and included only young people."

Hi, I'm in charge of the economy and also a big fan of the fifth-ranked Large Language Model chatbot, whose claim to fame is that it is more racist than the other chatbots

The Shri Thanedar impeachment stunt was a clear case of House Dems having winnable messaging elsewhere (Medicaid, taxes, corruption) and having no appetite for self-promoting bullshit. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-trump-im...

It's the year 2013. Barack Obama has just accepted a luxury airliner from the Sultan of Brunei. "I'd be a fool not to take the free jet, which I get to keep after I leave office," he says while wearing a tan suit. Do the Republican senators react this way then? www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-fre...

🚨 Press Pass is back and I'm well-rested (sort of, it's taken days to recover from the 20 hours of flying) First on the agenda: It was immediately clear that Rs would be cool with the corruption part, but the national security risks? No that's also fine. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-fre...

Hawaii needs to make a serious case for first primary on the calendar (so all of us reporters can expense trips there in the dead of winter)

Have re-upped this tweet over on the other site at the start of warm weather every year. Bringing it over to Bluesky to educate the masses. Follow this rule and it will never let you down.
