While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.

No judge. No jury. Just the Secretary of War.

I agree that it’s 100% true that the eyeballs are all on short form video - and man, it’s still really depressing how the necessity of Doing Video nowadays seriously disadvantages people who aren’t conventionally attractive (or who just genuinely can’t stand being on camera)

I’m not trying to be judgmental, but I feel that the people who now say they regret voting for Trump should have had a decent idea what he was all about before Nov 2024.

It is rare that i reach out to as many trump advisers and officials that I did today and get literally no one willing to defend this, even off the record.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

The problem with all arguments of this sort is that they effectively rewrite the statute to exclude critical limitations. If a statute says "the president may do X on condition Y," but no court may second guess a presidential determination that Y obtains (even if it plainly does not)...

Vandals decapitated and smashed the statue of Mary in an Evanston church’s outdoor Nativity scene Friday, and the church responded by replacing it with a sign saying Mary was beaten & dragged away in front of her son and is being held in immigration detention. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/15/n...

Opinion | Trump’s crude remarks about Rob Reiner are unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

The usual suspects are trying to drag the Overton Window to permit “deport all Muslims” as acceptable rhetoric. Consider what should be done to those people, and then drag the Overton Window to encourage that.

Or you know that society’s collapse could be very, very bad to newborns, the sick, the elderly and every honest human that needs the products and services that a stable government can provide, so you go for the lawful, democratic and non-violent option since it is still available. 🇲🇽 2000, 🇲🇽 2018.

School today sent out a message saying to be careful because there was ICE IN THE PARKING LOT and then had to hastily send a clarifying followup that they meant the frozen water, not immigration enforcement.

Weak from Menin. She called for stripping citizenship from and deporting hundreds of thousands of NYC Muslims, the Council should use every sanction within its power against her

Jessie, you are Jon Ossoff's strongest soldier.

TOTAL BACKFIRE: Pulitzer Prize Board just turned the tables on Trump. In his defamation lawsuit, they’re demanding his tax returns, financial records, and even medical & prescription history if he’s claiming damages. (Law&Crime)

Also, nobody think of any of these fools as leaders outside their imagination.

To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine: Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men. Not a soul would call that “winning.”

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.

“Welcomefest”

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

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.

"At Walmart, recalled products were found in stores across 21 states. In a letter to Target, the health regulator said officials in Arkansas found the company offering a $2 discount on the recalled formula from November 16 to November 22. Target had the formula in stores across 20 states."

Which prompted one of the greatest letters to the editor www.nytimes.com/1984/06/17/n...

“Be strong like Ukrainians”

We don’t hate Russia as much it deserves.

Kaja Kallas: we have to be really clear-eyed. We have one aggressor and one victim. And the one that needs security guarantees is Ukraine, not Russia. In last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries, some as many as three or four times. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia

the other thing is that he got radicalized when government regulations shut down his gambling haunts for a time because of the pandemic. this is downstream of that; this is all about someone who was forced to recognize they were part of the society that had made them wealthy & crashed-out instead

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Seemingly making common cause with the murderer, as well.

“It is good to know the difference.” @timothysnyder.bsky.social on russia’s wishful thinking and the reality check Ukraine gave them. Spot on, as always.

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

If the issue were simply the territory Ukraine has "lost," then a ceasefire along the current frontline wouldn’t be a problem. But it is for Russia. In reality, both Russia and the Trump administration are pressuring Ukraine to surrender territory it still holds.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

“Maybe if I just stare ahead while the president goes on another political rant right in front me with cameras on, I will be apolitical”

Americans will have to work really hard to earn the forgiveness of the rest of the world for electing this Fidiot

Two more to go and Black Sea will be cleaned from russian submarines🌝

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad

I just don’t really know what you do about having a genuine psychopath as President man.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Just when you think Trump can’t sink any lower… Rob Reiner and his talented wife Michele were friends of ours. We collaborated on projects. Brad and I are devastated. We are in shock and grief. Sure, Rob opposed Trump, but this is so beyond the pale.
