I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

“At this moment in time of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”
It’s hard to wrap your mind around it because of how callous it is.
But that’s what White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt actually said. Out loud. To press. Proudly.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.
The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.
It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.
Until then, they're all to blame.

literally no need for this
the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.
I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Good for them: it is a violation of the Hatch Act that limits the use of public assets for partisan messaging. Orgeon has its own version of that law, and covers those who run the airport. Other airport administrators should look to see if they are in the same position.
