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 was a force for good.
He was an incredible artist that made so many people laugh and cry.
Most importantly, he was kind in a time where kind men are in short supply.
He will be greatly missed.

The next Dem president needs to gut the entire government of everyone Trump hired, knowing full well they were expected to place Trump ahead of the constitution.
It's going to take a very long time to fix this mess.

What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.

County-level Democratic swings of 7%-25% in red states would decimate MAGA in 2026. The House would almost certainly go blue, and maybe the Senate as well—though it’d previously been thought not to be in play at all. TN-7 is an R+22 district that may end up R+6 today—that spells Apocalypse for MAGA.
