Robert Reich, first and foremost I would say (@rbreich.bsky.social).

Any journalists you trust.

I'm partial to the lawfare crowd, Quinta Jurecic (@qjurecic.bsky.social) and Roger Parloff (@rparloff.bsky.social), et al, though I guess they're not "Dems" as much as they're institutionalists, which is where I think the fight really is).

I never figured out how to use Twitter. My kids set up an account for me years ago and I tried to tweet something to Grateful Dead archivist, but I just couldn't figure it out. Same with Instagram. And tick-tock? Forget it, never even tried to set up an account there. I tried to get some info on a couple of stocks on Twitter years ago, but it was mostly people either touting the hell out of it or poo-pooing it. I gave up, but I've always appreciated the curation of tweets that get posted in here. I suspect the same with be true of Bluesky, I won't sign up but will avidly consume whatever gets posted in here. Should I delete my moribund Twitter account on principle?
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to navigate instagram.

Yeah, these are not liberals. Wittes was close with Comey, and for all I know, still is. Lawfare was founded, I believe, by Bush DOD guy Jack Goldsmith. Or at least he was associated with them.

They are Adam Kinzingers or Liz Cheneys, by which I mean that their turn toward "liberalism" is actually a turn against MAGA corruption and burn-it-downitis. The lawfare folks were never right-wingers either, so I'm not saying they had similar policy preference to those GOPers. I'm just saying that we share a common enemy and that's why it seems as though we are on the same side. Which is, of course, fine. But if you're looking for liberal voices to follow, those would not be among my suggestions.
 
Im a historian so I have to stare right into the train wreck so I’ll keep visiting twitter from time to time. Foreign news, in my case Central American, is also very present there still so I’ll hashtag Guatemala and other specifics there as well.

I’m an admirer of Cheney as well. As a Virginia Democrat, I have more in common with reformed Republicans than far left Democrats. MAGA is indeed a common enemy.
