The Rules of Grief
The post-Kirk purge was never about decency. Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder proves it.

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

This is a wonky process but BIG news regarding the Republican budget bill: My staff successfully got multiple provisions removed from the bill. Two key wins: 1) Medicaid provider tax. Striking this means Republicans have to backtrack on hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.
Seventh set of Byrd droppings is out, and WOW!
We won on trans care in Medicaid, provider taxes, FMAP, immigrants in Medicaid, and other issues.
These victories are amazing for the people they help - and cost Rs more than $250 billion of their savings by rough calculations, largely not curable.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

In addition to, you know, openly crowing about ethnic cleansing in op-eds and Knesset speeches, Israeli leadership hastened this outcome by so obviously ratfucking on behalf of Trump.
One thing about the protests that is probably unnerving for Democratic leadership is that for normie Dems, Palestine is rapidly becoming a popular cause. Saw Palestinian flags, a sign that said “stand with Ukraine and Gaza,” and a speaker’s mentions of Palestine drew the biggest cheers today.
