Here's Trump saying Rob Reiner is dead because he made people mad with his "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Absolutely insane.
It's a real post by the president of the United States, who has the nuclear codes.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Rob Reiner’s voice was progressive, but most of all human. What a terrible tragedy. What a terrible loss.

New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.
This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.
They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.
