“Words fail me when I read that Alex Kleytman, an 87-year-old Ukrainian Holocaust survivor, was celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach with his wife of 57 years, also a Holocaust survivor. He was killed while shielding Larisa from the bullets with his own body.”

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

Donald Trump is objectively one of the worst humans to have ever poisoned the planet.

Good people don't support him.

They simply don't.

His supporters need to be rejected by decent human beings.

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.

Thank you Benjamin #Netanyahu. Your killing spree has gone way overboard and I am truly afraid, as a Jew, this will lead to more of this. Bondi Beach Is What ‘Globalize the Intifada’ Looks Like www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

So I went to pickup my morning tea, no not at #Starbucks, and the barista asked for my name. I said "you get to choose" anything but Donald. So what did she name me? VANCE!! And she wasn't trying to piss me off. VANCE!!

Ping me when it is appropriate to call Charlie Kirk a worthless piece of shit who wasted his life and polluted dialogue in this country for a generation. Because I really want to do that, repeatedly.

Trump’s “enraged” that the media is giving major news coverage to what everyone sees: the age, the decline, the not so slow fade. And he can’t spin it away.

Bonus: folks online are calling him “Sleepy Don” because he keeps nodding off in meetings like it’s nap time at Mar a Lago.

Keep it up 👊🏽
