Highly recommend listening to the whole conversation. Platner is an extraordinary political communicator. I have rarely heard better.

Graham Platner wants the Democratic party to become a party of working people again.

Trump created a Board of Peace, which is not part of the U.S. government, and dubbed himself chairman for life. This means he will still be in charge of the board once he’s out of office.

What the fuck??

Once again, my monthly BlueSky check in does not disappoint!

Woof. Bad take, Tim

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Five Questions with Jon Favreau Our guest for Five Questions tonight is Jon Favreau, President Obama’s chief speechwriter from 2005-2013, cofounder of Crooked Media (newly on Substack, find them here), cohost, along with fellow Obam...

Watch @podsaveamerica.crooked.com 's @jonfavs.bsky.social's powerful response to our interview with a U.S. citizen who was brutalized by ICE

Please give this a listen. It's 10 minutes and well worth it. And it gets really deep at the end. Thank you, Jon Favreau.

It’s tragic what happened to Charlie Kirk, and worse to see his death twisted into propaganda. Jon Favreau’s intro on Pod Save America cuts through with honesty. If you’re tired of partisan poison, listen in. Honor the fallen by standing for truth, not lies.

Jon Favreau on the Reaction to Charlie Kirk's Assassination I’ve said in a few different places now that Kirk’s murder really rattled me. But what’s honestly rattled me more has been the reaction.

Very good -

Dare I ask why?

Trump, Putin, the Internet, social media, democracy, AI, climate change, and basically the history of the last decade - loved this conversation with @jonfavs.bsky.social on Offline.

Donald Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since January, but Republicans cared more about making him happy than they did about the people who sent them to Washington to make their lives better.

They don’t deserve this cruelty. No one does. Especially not in the richest country on Earth, where people with the most power just used it to make themselves even richer.

“Well, that’s what they voted for.“

“They should’ve known better.”

Sure, maybe. But the brunt of the pain will be felt by babies, kids, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, people who are barely making it, people who fled danger to save their children.

So, shitty day!

I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today.

Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them.

This is even more hopeful than you might think - on today’s very timely @podsaveamerica.crooked.com, I talk to @chenoweth.bsky.social about their 3.5% rule - the finding that nonviolent protest movements haven’t failed when 3.5% of the country is engaged.
