@briantylercohen.bsky.social I’m sure you’re going to get around to asking Moskowitz why he voted to censure Al Green? Inquiring minds want to know. Censure MTG? Lady Beetlejuice? Sigh..

We have to somehow retain the bandwidth to fight Republicans from destroying America from the outside in and keep the wealthiest human alive from destroying us from the inside out. Do not waver. This is our moment.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social Trump just put out another Trump Gaza video last night. Don’t fall for the distraction. Budget, Elon. Focus. They’re scared.

Trump has spent literally half of his presidency at Mar-a-Lago.

Yes he is.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports. It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people. Some populist, huh?

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

Can anyone wake up Democrats? They’re sleeping through a house fire. Someone needs to call 911. No way this is legal.

The gospel according to Saint Mariann

Republican Bruce Fischer, the husband of Nebraska Republican Senator Deb Fischer, refused to shake hands (or even make eye contact) with Vice President Kamala Harris during his wife’s swearing-in ceremony. This election was never about the economy. It was always about white supremacy.

As conservative states wage total culture war, college-educated workers—physicians, teachers, professors, and more—are packing their bags.

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade. propub.li/3BQjJ1e

Frivolous STEMlord types had about 10-15 years of being legitimately seen as true genius heroes on a pop culture level. Now that they've torched that PR win, they're stuck reverting to 80s nerd resentment

This is not a party with a mandate

Who else has their popcorn ready for when vice president Trump realizes he’s someone’s bitch?

You know, this reminds me that I’m old enough to remember when some people were saying that Joe Biden was so out of it somebody had to be running the government for him

Related to Musk playing fast and loose with government secrets, here's a passage from our book, Character Limit, in which he randomly tells a group of Twitter employees in Nov 2022 that he didn't think Russians would interfere with Twitter Blue because they had thus far failed to hack Starlink.

If Republicans can’t pass the CR and shut down the government , it will be uh…interesting(?) to watch airport TSA employees stay home during Christmas travel season.

Trump is trying to get the debt ceiling raised now so he can fit his billionaire tax cuts in next year without having to do so himself. Still looking out for the little guy. 🤦

Looks like Democrats are not going to bail out House Republicans to get CR passed. Don’t want to, but people need to see the Clown Car Caucus in action.

I saw a poll with Musk underwater by double digits in popularity. What did people think they were voting on?

@briantylercohen.bsky.social are you following the path of Jared Moskowitz? Praising Matt Gates? Fighting for Elise Stefanik? Ready to join the Trump Administration reducing the House majority? This is what I want to hear about. Challenging stories about friend and foe. Step up.
