"Assaulting protesters and then gunning them down in the street is out; carelessly dropping a blind, helpless man in a coffee-shop parking lot to freeze to death is still very much in."

Pete Hegseth is trying to bully Anthropic out of objecting to “lethal autonomous weapons systems” and mass surveillance. What could go wrong?

A terrific event here in Minneapolis last night. Lively and fun. And moving, given what Minnesotans have endured for the last couple of months. And inspiring, as they've shown us that we can prevail.

This past weekend, Jerome Powell appeared at last to discover a core truth about this White House: The only thing that ever works is punching back. And how!

On the other hand, the reality is that we have a masked secret police force going door-to-door attempting to kidnap brown people; one government agency publicly daydreaming about deporting 100 million people; and another government agency saying that the ideal worker is a 20-year-old white guy."
"On the one hand, it feels weird to say that the U.S. is attempting some low-key ethnic cleansing. . . .

Welcome to Trumplandia. Read Morning Shots @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/screw-it-l...
"He spent that whole speech aggrieved, like not just sort of channeling grievance, but, like, personally aggrieved," @eggerdc.bsky.social said of Trump. "He thinks he is doing a fucking amazing job of being the president, and he does not see that reflected in what he gets back."
The RNC is mad at @thebulwark.com's very own @eggerdc.bsky.social.

Court politics cuts both ways. Trump loves being sucked up to, and he loves distributing head-pat rewards to the suck-ups. What Trump does not love is powerful people starting to treat those rewards as something they’ve earned.

I am not.

Senate Republicans are bucking Trump on blue slips and Argentinian beef. On his usurping the power of the purse to pay the salaries of U.S. troops . . . not so much.

“Trump’s naked greed for wealth and power, his cruelty, his obscenity, his stupidity, his childishness, his arrogance—all these have galvanized the opposition as never before in recent U.S. history. That’s what “No Kings” was about.”

Really appreciate the words of @eggerdc.bsky.social today. Saturday was never going to magically fix things. I’m tired of the “none of this matters” crowd. Yep there’s a long time to go, it will get harder (& SCOTUS rulings may introduce extra hurdles), and we’re going to have to put in the work.
Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.
In Trump's America, "military police are heroic patriots by virtue of being in *his* military police," writes @eggerdc.bsky.social. And the law's only job is "getting out of their way."
Conversely, "people who object to his will—whenever, wherever—are dangerous insurgents who must be rooted out."
perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.
Screenshot of an excerpt from a Max Tani article for Semafor dated 5 October 2025. TEXT: A high-profile columnist who left The Washington Post amid the paper’s ongoing editorial upheaval is joining a growing anti-Trump digital news startup. Former Washington Post opinion columnist Catherine Rampell is joining The Bulwark, where she will write a weekly economics and policy-focused newsletter while contributing to the company’s podcasts and YouTube channels. In a telephone interview on Friday, Rampell said that although she had spent her career at traditional media institutions like The New York Times and the Post, she was encouraged by The Bulwark’s growth and felt committed to its editorial mission, which emphasizes supporting America’s democratic principles and institutions. “It’s very mission-oriented as an institution, and within that mission, there’s obviously room for a lot of other views,” Rampell said. “All of those things were appealing, and it’s a pretty kickass group of people.” “The Bulwark is a written, video, and audio product. And as we grow, we are looking for people who can excel across all those mediums,” CEO Sarah Longwell said in a statement. “Catherine is not just one of those people — she’s one of the best of those people. She also brings a unique expertise in economics and a mission aligned worldview. We’re beyond thrilled she’s decided to join us.”
My colleagues and I are SUPER excited about this: The amazing @crampell.bsky.social is joining our team at The Bulwark.
