Great interviews. There are a lot of good, talented, normal Democratic politicians, like Pat Ryan and we need to get them out front talking more. This is what James Carville said on his recent podcast, too. The contrast between the Democrats and the Republicans is shocking. Every time the Republicans talk, they sound crazy and the Dems sound rational and good. It’s insane that we ended up here again with the orange gas bag.
Yes! This was a great interview ! It gives me a lot of hope. The Democrats are going to be fine! He had so much valuable insight about why he won and I agree with everything he said. And he could talk like a normal person.
Pat Ryan and so many other democrats that beat Kamala in their district seem to forget that Elon Musk and Autocracy Inc targeted Kamala with AI-generated and false advertising that he didn't face. Who ever defends the "democratic brand?" We talk more shit on ourselves than anyone else. Who already improved healthcare? We did. Who wanted a public option when the Bulwark team was working for the McConnell's "Obama a 1 term president camp?" Democrats. Who went after price gouging? Biden, Harris, Lina Khan - DEMOCRATS. COVID stimulus during both Trump and Biden administrations - Written and passed by Democrats.
We have a good brand, we just have cowardly representatives and brand managers.
I have as much faith in the pardon polls as I do for the election polls, which is absolutely none.
For the record, the Trump 1.0 pardons got even lower polling scores than the Hunter pardon so 🤷♀️. And the potential Jan 6 pardons scored higher approvals than both. So, yeah, these polls, and Americans right now, are ridiculous and unserious.
Pat's great. He's the same guy whether he's on TV, the Bulwark podcast, or at our local senior center. Like Mr. Kinzinger, he genuinely cares about us regular folks.
I wish folks like Ryan would articulate what they mean when they say fight. Fight how? People say Trump fights but as far as I can see that means yapping a lot. People say AOC fights. She also talks a lot (no shade on her, by the way). Is that fighting?
So Pat was discussing the power company/monopoly with the billing fail that ruined customers finances and is taking a long legal battle to repair. Who went to jail? Until white collar crime is given prison sentences similar to inner city crack dealers there is no rule of law that I can believe in.
I get not wanting to be in an echo chamber like Bluesky (I do miss the right wing nutjobs a bit tbh,) but Elmo is just a pure trash human, and no way do I want to support him in any way shape or form.
Andrew Egger wrote this morning that Boebert also said, “You know, they’re asking for their preemptive pardon. So it kind of sounds suspect and guilty" WTH!! Nobody is ASKING for pardons! These people make my blood boil.
In honor of Rep. Pat Ryan, here is the f*cking Apple Music Playlist. Hope everything is having a good week.

Why do you, Adam, consider Lindsey Graham and the others good people if they are willing to knowingly vote in a possible Russian asset as DNI?

Fighting on the Dem side is Dick Durbin sending a strongly worded letter to someone/anyone that will read it or file it into the garbage can 🤣

Let's see what Ryan does when the rubber hits the road.
LOL Nothing Matters!

I nominate Pat Ryan to go on the bro podcast. :)
So happy Pat is my rep! Such an awesome dude!
Adam K has such integrity. I always feel inspired (and grateful) after hearing his perspective. Thank you!!
