How President Trump reacted to the brutal murder of Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner vs How Rob Reiner reacted to the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk.
Kate Wicker retweeted
Rob Reiner on Charlie Kirk's death:
āAbsolute horror, and I unfortunately saw the video of it. Itās beyond belief what happened to him. That should never happen to anybody. I donāt care what your political beliefs are. Thatās not acceptable. Thatās not a solution to solving problems.ā
āAnd I felt like what his wife [Erika] said at the service at the memorial they had was exactly right. Iām Jewish but I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe in ādo unto othersā and I believe in forgiveness and what she said to me was beautiful. She forgave his assassin. And I think that is admirable.ā
Compare that to Trump's disgusting tweet about Rob Reiner's death.

Spineless Mike Johnson just refused to condemn Trumpās post about Rob Reiner āI don't do ongoing commentary about everything that's said by everybody in government every day.ā Coward. If a Democrat said it, heād be losing his mind.

This bumbling bonehead, Kash Patel, when he's not detaining the wrong shooter, is busy doing podcast appearances with the girlfriend he deploys FBI resources and private jets for.
The Brown University shooter is still at large.
Seriously, fire his ass.

Sister of Brown University shooting victim MukhammadAziz Umurzokov share memories of her brother who dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon. "I just want people to know... he's a real person. He had real ambitious goals and aspirations," says Samira Umurzokova.

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clintonās assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.
It's the fucking guns.

There is an aggressor: Russia.
There is a victim: Ukraine.
We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years agoāand to keep doing so.
By āwe,ā I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.
Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginningābecause they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

If throwing a tantrum, embarrassing an ally, and advancing Russiaās talking points qualifies for a Nobel Peace Prize, then sureāgive Trump one. While weāre at it, letās hand out Oscars to reality TV stars and Purple Hearts to people who stub their toes. Absolute clown logic. š¤”

Trumpās Fox News cronies canāt spin this: Zelenskyy stood tall in the Oval Office, refusing to bow to Putinās puppet. The ambassadorās distress shows the stakes. Trumpās Nobel dreams? A joke. Ukraine fights for freedom while he grovels to dictators. Shameful.

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

What should bother you about the Episcopal bishop shouldn't be that she decided to preach something from her sincerely held religious convictions to the President of the United States
It should be that many Catholic bishops seemingly don't have the courage to do the same

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

This is horrifying.
ICE raiding churches and schools is horrifying.
The morally depraved and egregiously unqualified nomineesĀ are horrifying.
Firing those who investigated him is horrifying.
Elon Musk's power is horrifying.
Cutting funding to foreign aid programs is horrifying.
