Bunch of new people following recently, I guess another uptick in BSky users. To get you started, may I recommend @deck.blue to you. If you used Tweetdeck back in the day on Twitter, you'll feel right at home.

That and a good stiff belt or two.

Mike Johnson continues the months-long paid vacation at taxpayer expense for the House, all while shafting taxpayers by increasing heathcare costs, & forcing our military, ATC, TSA, & other workers to work for free. Meanwhile I'm giving money to my TSA-employed child so they can exist.

"if you've spent time on X lately"...

Those of you that fit this description should probably take a step back and re-evaluate your life decisions.

As an American citizen, 100% agree.

Because some other company is going to write him a similar check? Please. Also there's a good argument to be made that the company would be better off without him, and instead have a full-time CEO that doesn't piss off most of his potential customers.

So basically Mamdani voters "Don't threaten me with a good time?"

BTW, I don't want that asshole in my state. NY can keep him.

The Epstein Vacation.

It is absurd and insulting that the House R's can continue to receive all pay and benefits during a shutdown while on a unilaterally declared vacation, yet our military, ATC, TSA, and other employees are working every day WITHOUT PAY.
Every single House R should be fired.

Fantastic that the wind just pushed it right back at their car. Maybe the crowd needs some leaf blowers to help with this in the future.

Smart move. Hopefully keeps him out of the ICC in the future.

Are these "things" in the room with us today?

There's absolutely no way that it doesn't have his name on it.

You know another way for a country to fix an anemic replacement rate?

Is NOAA only providing potato quality graphics in the shutdown?

Jeff Beardsley @jbeardsley.bsky.social · 11d

So that's a "yes" then.

Not even the concepts of a plan. Just keep saying "everything is great, things are going exactly as planned" on SM and legacy media as often as you can. That is the plan.

We don't need to hear from Uday or Qusay.

This whole article is 🔥 and worth your time to read. It truly sucks that people like @bedoyausa.bsky.social are not in the service of We The People any longer.

Former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social's new piece in @newrepublic.com gives a glimpse of what’s at stake for Americans if SCOTUS allows the president the authority to fire FTC officers without cause.

My time at the Federal Trade Commission—before Donald Trump fired me—totally changed the way I see our political divide.

These guys are the greatest PR for the rally ever. Have none of them heard about the Steisand effect?
