"This is not the first time that Thom Tillis has talked a big talk and gotten lots of admiring headlines...and then, of course, he disappointed." @crampell.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social on Tillis caving on Trump’s $1.776B slush fund, and why no one should pretend the issue is dead.

"I started to come around to this idea that if you have wealth, it does actually allow you to maybe be a little more impartial...little bit less dirty politician-like." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social looks at why some California progressives—usually allergic to billionaires—may be open to Tom Steyer.
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "A Democratic president in 2028, they're gonna have a ton of pressure on them...there's also going to need to be some systematic reforms, and I think which ones the elected leaders should spend political capital on is a very interesting and important conversation."
Who are the artists announced to perform at the America 250 State Fair this summer? @sonnybunch.bsky.social breaks it down with @jvl.bsky.social on how these artists have changed since the 1990's and why it makes almost no sense that they're performing.
Rep. Walkinshaw: "[Bondi] had the opportunity to say, 'I know Donald Trump, and if he was aware of those crimes, he would have done something.' Instead, she said, 'I don't know.'...I think that's a perfect example as to why we need Pam Bondi under oath in a real deposition for the camera."
Rep. Aguilar: "People are working harder just to stay afloat while they watch Trump and his inner circle continue to enrich himself through backroom deals and stock trading and no-bid government contracts. Americans are ready to put an end to the Trump and Republican corruption."
"They're more concerned with the burning of a Confederate flag than they are about the burning down of our democracy... These are neo-Confederates—that is not alarmist, and that's not a far jump." @brotherjones.bsky.social on Tennessee Republicans following the old Confederate playbook.
Q: "Tillis said he won't support Todd Blanche's confirmation unless Todd Blanche condemns Jan. 6. Do you have a reaction to that?" Trump: "Senator Tillis is a loser, stone cold. He's an angry man. He was forced to leave the Senate because I wouldn't support him and he quit."
.@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on the DNC's autopsy: "That thing, it was written in crayon and if he spent four days making it into something readable, [Ken Martin] didn't have to put it out like that." Sarah chats with David Axelrod and John Heilemann on the Texas primaries and more.
"What does it say that we have this Kim Jong Un-ass reality TV show star sitting around around a Cabinet meeting having a bunch of —now that all the women are gone—men tell him he's the only one that can save America?" Tim Miller and Eddie Glaude on Trump's sausage fest of mediocrity.
Забудь біль. Забудь горе. Забудь провину. Тим, що ти зараз уявляєш, тим світом, який ти будуєш у голові, можна керувати. Це може бути реальнішим за будь-який біль.

How much of your best social content has come from being nimble and open to what is happening in the moment? @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and Melted Solids—the agency who produced his campaign videos—are very familiar with letting things happen organically.

Well, mostly thorough. I didn't have the space to mention how all the wrestlers secretly want to kiss each other but aren't allowed, and so they have to steal quick ones while they think no-one is looking, and the fans hold up "KISS" signs to let them know when the boss is distracted.
And we got there. Left: we told y'all Independents: we didn't know Republicans: we don't wanna admit y'all was right, pride gets in my way. Maga: yes, time for the purge!

Republicans want to raise taxes on people making under $30K. At the same time, they’re happy to give tax cuts for billionaires, and expand Trump’s ICE & CBP deportation police force. Who the hell do these people think they work for?

Demonstrators gathered Friday at San Francisco International Airport, displaying “ICE Out of San Francisco” signs at the international terminal. The protest coincides with May Day events taking place around the Bay Area and across the globe. 📹️: Lea Suzuki
Donald Trump uses ICE as his personal police force to terrorize our immigrant communities and rip children from their families, not to make our cities safer. It is immoral, illegal, and wrong.

Medical misogyny is still the norm. Women aren't listened to. Maternity failures repeat across the country. Perinatal mortality is rising. We want every maternity unit rated good or outstanding with one-to-one midwifery guaranteed. Britain should be the safest place in the world to give birth.
