Big win over the Brewers. philliesnation.com/2025/09/bran...
Living in VT with my wonderful wife Lauren and our two pups Roxy and Mac. Worked in politics doing campaign work, PR & gov’t affairs for 20 years. Still dabble. Please stop referring to Republicans as maga. That’s not a thing & helps them hide their crimes

Big win over the Brewers. philliesnation.com/2025/09/bran...
And frankly helped us surpass many other local media’s social following even as it prevented continual harassment of our team members on X. I was constantly harassed, dispatched, lied about and talked to worse than anywhere online or off in my life there. Also: Nate Silver is a dweeb.
The Brewers announcers are so bad. They get the missed call on a check swing on Harper but not on the one on JT. It’s the exact opposite but they’re mad cause “ball don’t lie” on Harper and the one on JT got their manger ejected and a lead for the Phillies. Clueless work from the Brew Crew team
If Rob has Sosa bunt like he should have it’s 9 runs. That guys some times
Do the Brewers not hit many home runs at home? I’ve never heard announcers get so excited about routine fly balls. What are these guys watching? #RingTheBell #Phillies
Should be 9-8. The manager kills me from time to time
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.
Our country is insane
100% Nate Silver has a burner account here
Big time make up for that error
STOTTER?! 🙌
"Blueskyism" helped the Mississippi Free Press overcome algorithmic suppression on other platforms (Facebook, Threads) and ride out plummeting engagement on Twitter following Musk's X takeover. Thank God we took our eggs out of the X basket when we did.
In theory they’d be up 9-6 now
Nope. Would rather have it available. People need to see it.
I really don’t get why Sosa isn’t bunting there. 2nd and 3rd with one out. It essentially guarantees you get Trae up. #Phillies
If you want to take back the House and maybe the Senate you should want Trump to at least live until a day after the 2026 election.
Thank you! I feel like people are living in denial of this fact.
This includes my lifetime and I’m in my 50s
May I suggest you quote post these opposed to replying to me? I posted that cause I take COVID seriously. Very seriously. Replying makes it feel preachy to someone you don’t know and don’t know that I agree with you vs taking my post as a jumping off point to inform others who may now.
Hope not. Despise the man and hope he suffers a miserable death about 2 months before the 2028 election. Him dying any time before that is worse for our country and worse for tens of millions of people. It’s absolutely not an outcome we want despite the immediate satisfaction we’ll all feel.
Saquon Barkley today relayed a Nick Sirianni message from early in the offseason: "If you think you’re the reason why we won the Super Bowl last year, you’re exactly right. If you think you’re the only reason why we won the Super Bowl last year, you’re exactly wrong. It’s going to take all of us."
COVID is running rampant in VT right now. School just started last week and now multiple kids and their parents are positive.
A thread worth reading. Especially if you care about the intersection of trans rights and politics.
Cowboys O-Line is trash so it may be one second
This is the only way Nate Silver can get anyone on Bluesky to pay attention to him
I guess I like uphill battles. The most recent is wishing Trump died. The short term joy is not worth the long term harm to the country & tens of millions of people. Other recent ones: Using maga which means nothing. Call them Republicans. It was not a lockdown. It was a shutdown. Nuance matters
Nine of the CDC directors over the past 48 years have a lot to say about what RFK Jr is doing vs health of Americans www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Schools were operating when the bars were open. The physical location was closed but kids were getting some level of education. Bars - at least where I lived in Philly - opened initially for takeout only. There was an alternative option for schools but not for businesses. Brian’s point is absurd.
Oh so they wanted to do what they did with the confederates after the Civil War

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
Where’s Pete?
Discussed because he had an extremely bad stretch & had to disappear to hope we all forget about it. In a short time he legitimized Trump/Republicans eliminating entire gov’t agencies, threw the Trans community under the bus & defended a genocide. It may have ended his career so he went & hid
I appreciate we talk about what’s in front of us but do think we should talk more about what’s not. Pete B has disappeared. Nothing going viral so assume he’s not making rounds. Posted here 3 days ago then for the mass shooting, then 12 & 17 days ago. He’s doing a reset & it should be discussed
considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, “we will protect your children from republicans” is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we don’t talk about child safety at the kitchen table?
He’s a bad person who doesn’t care about the well being of children would be my pick.
bsky.app/profile/luck... The below response is about a story stating New England governors were discussing a collaboration on COVID vaccines. Many were rushing to praise them before anything actually happened. If Republican Governor Phil Scott is serious he can easily take the same step NM did
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
all these media asking democrats 'but crime seems to be down in DC isn't that good' ARMED MILITARY ON THE STREETS IS NEVER FUCKING GOOD
I'm sorry but if you take money from a source to push partisan talking points and don't readily disclose that to your audience OF COURSE you are going to destroy your credibility -- ESPECIALLY if that source is dictating or limiting your work. I'm not sure how anyone considers that up for debate.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
To date this is only use of AI I think has any value.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
My goodness this umpire is terrible. Both ways. Just awful. #Phillies
Are you kidding me?! There's a ton that's unethical about a dark money group that pays people to stay silent on specific topics. Jesus.
That’s not helping others building their own empire. It’s making them part of his empire. They become dependent on him. This so clueless
I have no clue why anyone takes you seriously.
YouTube embeds on bluesky well without forcing the audience here onto the website most of us have rejected!
You’ll be deleting these shortly.
this is an excellent move.
What? Why are you even saying this? All you do with this crap is make it look like a real debate. It’s fucking stupid. The woke debate and your idiotic post. Dems of today are the worst fucking political communicators ever.
With all the Trump’s dead talk it feels like an appropriate time to repost this from a month ago.
Hurricane Katrina taught us: Mississippians’ stories must be told. 20 years later, the Free Press is still here—telling the truth for our people. Help us continue: buff.ly/iLoBfEq
Would not expect Phillies to go to a six-man rotation anytime soon; every starter will have an extra day with Tuesday’s off day. And, if they stay on current rotation, Phillies have it so their three lefties all pitch in upcoming Mets series.
To be clear I am not a believer in honoring the dead. Fuck that. If you were an evil person you get what you deserve when you die. When people like Kissinger die it’s joyous to be rid of evil but there were no consequences to his death. There will be lasting negative consequences to Trump’s death
I really need to understand this sense of joy so many are expressing they’ll feel if Trump checks out. Like do you think this will make things better? Make the GOP “normal”? Like what do you think happens after that? Cause I’d bet you all anything it will make things worse for our democracy & people
Shot…chaser
Stuart Stevens, currently to the left of most democratic leaders on the Hill
Matty last week: People in DC don’t even notice the federal takeover. It’s not a big deal. Matty today: the takeover is noticeable and good, actually.
Please help me welcome to Bluesky @drdebhoury.bsky.social - brave, brilliant, and principled. abcnews.go.com/Politics/vid...
Please take note @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Well past time for you to start being more aggressive
As prominent Republican, Stuart gets that there is no saving the Republican Party. None. No chance at all. Which should mean to any Republican who is truly opposed to the current actions by their party; that they either need to leave the party or forever be lumped in with the rest of the fascists
Stuart has always spoken with more clarity on the death of the GOP. He talks about it in a way that Rick Wilson never does.
I think most would agree that JD is a puppet who was built up & controlled by billionaires. He was manufactured. This is well documented. So if Trump dies & he becomes POTUS, the President will literally be controlled by a group of billionaires. Theres an elitist word for that, but anyway, no kings!
Why are Schumer and Jeffries still pretending that the appropriation process is real? It isn't. All it will do is produce fake documents that Trump doesn't even view as advisory. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
nick castellanos has prepared his entire life for this weekend.
You get a hint that this from a former Republican because it’s maga hunger games not Republican hunger games. & looking more deeply it is in fact that. Rick Wilson is a major source. That guy will go to great lengths to protect the GOP brand so they can go back to harming people & democracy quietly
The one not standing there is my primary concern. Can easily envision a scenario where Miller is made VP by the House.
This is how he’s preparing to become President. Practice makes perfect.
People saying they’re going to party when Trump dies has serious Y2K vibes. It’s New Year’s Eve so you’re partying but all night you have this nagging sense of anxiety because the worst might happen. Hate to be the party pooper but the worst will happen this time. JD & VP Miller will be worse.
R's made our homelessness systemic and inevitable; D's blamed and punished us for being homeless: linktr.ee/nowordforwater
This is the state of the USA media. They’ve been bullied into this nonsense.
Drove through a very wealthy VT town today that had Republican/Trump protesters downtown. They all had signs that I’m sure most have seen but they also had big signs that read “don’t honk” & I find it so fucking depressing. We are not going to polite ourselves out of fascism. Cut the crap
It is that simple.
#OkSchumer My fucking goodness we all knew who he was before the confirmation hearings but you allowed your caucus to support his appointment. Fire Chuck NOW!!!* *this statement is endorsed by the Baileys
A Vermonter here and I’d encourage everyone to reserve judgement until you see the details. The Republican governor in VT is not as forward thinking as you’ve been led to believe. He’ll take this political credit and then drop the policy push when it matters most.
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
Would be so great if the US Open banned him from all future tournaments.
Looking forward to this guy being identified and roasted alive.
Bias & exaggeration in sports reporting is so funny. Like why? It’s just a game. Parson’s terrorized the Eagles? Ok. I looked at his games against the Eagles. 7 games w/a total of 5 sacks & 19 tackles. 2 of the 5 sacks came in a game the Eagles won 34-6. 3 games with zero sacks. I feel terrorized 😱
I love any excuse to drag out the time Berenson fell for a BOFA joke
The Cowboys were already heading towards a down year. Now they’ll be a bottom 10 team and have multiple first round picks to trade. It won’t be terribly difficult for them to get to the first or second pick in the draft to get a new QB and move on from Dak who will NEVER win a Super Bowl.
Crucial with Wheeler done that the vet of the staff steps up against a team out of the playoff race and he does that. That contract is going to crush them.
He throws almost 40 pitches and gives up three runs. Getting hard to trust him in the playoffs. That would leave the Phillies with a top three of Sanchez, Suarez and Luzardo. Not inspiring.
Is he even going to get out of the first inning tonight? At a crucial moment when you needed to stop the bleeding after being swept by the Mets he does this.
Nola may be the worst contract the Phillies ever agreed to. He’s terrible. They should’ve let him go and saved the money.
I watch the staff at the CDC take courageous action and find hope. Then I see this and all that hope is washed away. #OkSchumer
Did the Baileys give him those socks as a birthday gift?
CBS Sports compared the Micah trade to the one that sent Reggie White from the Eagles to the Pack. Calling Micah “this generations White” That’s absurd. Micah is great. He is not a generational talent that will change the way the game is played. I’d bet both teams end up regretting this deal
He’ll never retire. We need to hope he never dies.
Whoever has been writing headlines at @the-independent.com recently is doing a great job
And yet the Cowboys fans in my life are texting me insisting the Cowboys will likely win the division this season. 😂😂😂 #FlyEaglesFly
Great and meaningful work done by @govpritzker.illinois.gov
