Another day where MAGA “Christians” had to choose between the teachings of Jesus and the bile of Trump and, as usual, they chose Orange Jesus over Bible Jesus.

Exactly

214 Democrats signed a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits to make sure tens of millions of Americans don't experience skyrocketing health insurance premiums. They just need FOUR House Republicans to join them. ☎️ Call YOUR rep at 202-224-3121.

Republicans in Congress should just hand out ‘I didn’t see the tweet’ cards to reporters every day to save time.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has escalated its probe of Sen. Mark Kelly into an official Command Investigation under military law, further targeting a sitting U.S. senator for constitutionally protected speech.

If Trumps says horrible things about you, it is likely a sign that you did something right.

No one in their right mind who currently lives in a civilized country would have any desire to move here now.

Some people are not worthy of your time to reason with, because they choose to remain willfully, aggressively, cynically ignorant, deliberately spreading radical right lies and chaos. Block and move on.

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

Piers Morgan slams his friend Donald Trump over his vile post about Rob Reiner: “That just crossed every line of basic human decency… This is just unacceptable — when people get murdered, you just show basic respect.”

Trump is often discussed as one of the worst presidents in modern American history, but it’s important to remember that such a categorization is far too narrow. Donald J. Trump is one of the worst people in modern American history.

Ari Melber delivered a tribute to Reiner just now, and you could hear him in tears at the end (he wasn't on camera).

Never have Americans had to spend so much more to get so much less. Happy holidays.

I am heartbroken. And reading comments by so many Facebook posters mocking and saying cruel things about Mr. Reiner makes me realize what a Pandora's Box of hate Trump has released. He is worse than an embarrassment. He has caused the downfall of a once great country.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Thou shalt not condemn “violent rhetoric” after your ally is murdered and then mock the murder of someone who criticized you.

I’ve been guilty of this too, but when I read people say, even though they’re trying to be nice, like “I disagree with Rob Reiner politically, but I am sad by his loss.” Why do we always feel the need to talk about whether we agreed with somebody politically or not?

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

My father passed July 1987, right when this hit cable. I played this scene many, many times. What more can he said about this amazing, almighty, beautiful scene that hasn’t been said? Rob Reiner is one of the Greats. youtu.be/kBC5Z_bH74U?...

Less than 48 hours after the deadly attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach that left more than a dozen dead, Australian authorities announced proposals for sweeping new gun laws. n.pr/48UTa7g

there's just something so bleak about the fact that the seemingly apolitical murder of two elderly people by their profoundly ill son becomes a political football before the bodies are even cold

texas literally has assigned armed state troopers to guard the ladies room. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/12/t...

I miss having a human being as US President.

🏆On night two of Hanukkah, we spotlight North Carolina's Supreme Court election. Republican Jefferson Griffin tried to overturn his loss to Democrat Allison Riggs by challenging 68k votes. After six months, he conceded, and Riggs' victory was certified. https://bit.ly/3YAxEjr

A note on my friend, Rob Reiner — a man of courage and conviction.

It's actually quite amazing Donald Trump can still astound us with his depravity.

Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

So the president designates groups of unnamed and unknown people as “terrorists”, then the Secretary of Defense decides who fits under that extremely broad definition, then the US military kills them, and that’s all we are allowed to know.

Dementia is no excuse for this disgusting statement!

Still processing the tragic news of the loss of Rob Reiner. I'm of the age when he was a huge part of my film-viewing in the 80s, and about ten years ago wrote a piece for the BFI celebrating to my mind some of his finest work. www.bfi.org.uk/lists/rob-re...

Trump Said Something Ugly Enough That Even Republicans Are Upset - Slate

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner. They like to cloak themselves in religion… Then read it to them. Don’t let them say they “didn’t see it.” Let them “defend” it.

Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered, stabbed-to-death, and Trump posting that they deserved it. It is beyond unconscionable.

Just so we’re all clear here, he is saying that Rob Reiner and his wife were asking for it.

www.alternet.org/trump-econom... maybe they should have used their brains a little bit more before voting for a convicted felon & a moron to occupy the WH. maybe in 2026 they will stop voting against themselves & vote the republicans out of office. #resist

Rob Reiner, at worst, should have won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. At best, he should have received an honorary Oscar. It's possible he turned it down multiple times, but this should be rectified.

This is a real headline on the New York Times website. Support independent media.

Authoritarian pressure is real. Collapse is not inevitable. The difference matters more than most people realize.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

utterly incapable of grace

Rob Reiner directed my favorite movie in the world, and then made all my dreams come true by, with Cary Elwes, organizing a cast reunion table read Zoom fundraiser for WisDems. A heart, spirit, and talent bigger than the whole world. May his and Michele's memory be a blessing.

Let me help you out. Yes, you are.
