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.

When Paul Pelosi was nearly murdered, and Trump responded with conspiracy theories and jokes, it reminded the world that Trump is a man devoid of grace and decency.

Targeting Rob Reiner, he did it again, digging a hole in the bottom of the barrel and falling even further.

Trump responds to Rob Reiner’s death in the most Trumpian way possible
The president could have said nothing, but his worst instincts appeared to get the better of him.

The murder of Emmett Till in 1955 is well known, but I had no idea of the story of his father, Louis Till, till this morning, when I stumbled into while browsing about cemeteries in France that hold the internments of WW2 American war criminals.

Buckle in, this one is messier. #chicago

Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.

MAMDANI’S Transition Team in NYC will be led by 5 women :-)}

Women are 51% of the population, 70% of the poor, 83% of single parents, do 66% of the work, produce 50% of the food, earn just 11% of the pay, and own only 1% of the land.

➡️ Love, nurture, and protect our children and their future :-)}

I'm not religious, but what the hell happened to "Thou shalt not lie (bare false witness...)"? Seems like christianity has an awful lot of flexibility for these smug assholes...

If Shohei Ohtani leads off tomorrow, as he has almost all season and every game the last two months…

He would be the first starting pitcher to lead off in a postseason game

Only SP to hit anywhere other than 8 or 9 in postseason, as of now:

@johnthorn.bsky.social Very trivial, but I was wondering if anyone ever researched the first documented occurrence of players’ celebrating pennant or Series clincher with champagne/beer-spraying celebration. Gotta believe Babe Ruth involved.

This is free to read online. This Cardinals fan is 1 of the most-amazing people I've ever met. Abused as a boy, he tried to take his own life. He lived & realized: he's here to help others. Now 41, he's raised $700,000 with his cards & gave it ALL to those in need.

RFK Jr is not a medical doctor. He is way out of his league. He's going to send some Americans to an early grave. Listen to your doctor, not a quack.
