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.

Pod Save America

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.

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.

Can Democrats use past successes with messaging during the Obama presidency to inform how they handle the Trump administration? Fascinating insight from Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

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. youtu.be/LQ2UHaAuNvw?...

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.

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. (1/)

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. (4/)

“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. (2/)

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. (3/)

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. One of the best convos I’ve had this year

G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

gelliottmorris.com"No Kings Day" protests turn out millionsOur unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

You’re a fucking clown. Everyone you work with is a fucking clown. People are done buying your pathetic cowardly horse shit. This country is so far beyond needing to hear from you or anyone like you. Do us all a favor and throw yourself down a mineshaft.

Dems: Who’s our liberal Joe Rogan? Also Dems: How dare you platform journalists who’ve written a deeply reported book that makes some Biden supporters uncomfortable?

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

Interesting to see who’s platforming this.

I check in here a few times a week, and genuinely want to be on here more, but 90% of my mentions are usually complaints that I haven’t passed someone’s purity test. It’s wild.

“This is so that people making over $1 million… can get a $90,000 average tax cut.” — @jonfavs.bsky.social Republicans in Congress want to cut Medicaid, raise health costs, and take food from kids—all to give millionaires and billionaires a tax break. We won't let them. #ProtectMedicaid

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

We're going LIVE w/ Jon, Lovett, & Tommy who will speak w/ Senate Dems as they hold the floor all night to oppose the nomination of Russ Vought, one of the architects of Project 2025, who is Trump's pick for Director of the OMB—where he'd be in position to make many of those dangerous ideas reality.
