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.

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.

The only number that applies is "two".

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

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

Jeff Beardsley @jbeardsley.bsky.social · 9d

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

Arc d'Trump
Trumphal Arch
Something like that.

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

Immigration.

Is NOAA only providing potato quality graphics in the shutdown?

Jeff Beardsley @jbeardsley.bsky.social · 9d

So that's a "yes" then.

Jeff Beardsley @jbeardsley.bsky.social · 9d

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.

Protect Democracy @protectdemocracy.org · 10d

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.

How I Became a Populist

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?

Jeff Beardsley @jbeardsley.bsky.social · 10d

These guys are absolutely the best PR for the No Kings Protest. Are they secretly trying to get rid of the regime or something? 4D chess move?

Jeff Beardsley @jbeardsley.bsky.social · 10d

As a former print and online subscriber for 30 years, this is the direct result of Bezo's asskissing of the current administration. I seem to recall >250k subscribers left a year ago, and now they're under 100k? Wow.

II's obvious to everyone who watched him yesterday cooking illegal deals with the Indonesian dictator that his hair is disappearing all on its own.

Love the free publicity also! Thanks Sean!
