Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Noel knows of what he speaks.
Trump would much rather have you talking about a Vanity Fair article than the decades he spent sexually assaulting little girls w/Jeffrey Epstein or all the money he launders for the Russian mob. Remember that and react accordingly. He’s adept at media manipulation & distraction.

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible.

I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson just said he won't call a vote this year to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too.

Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.
Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time.

It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

There are too many gun deaths all the time, every day, but these past 24 hours seem especially brutal. WTAF, Rob Reiner too?

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

It needs to be said.
It's the guns.
It needs to be said over and over until we finally do something to stop the corruption that has led to this insanity.

Weekend reading:

Trumpism Is at War with the Idea of a Citizenry of Equals

The regime’s latest racist fury is tied to the Right’s much broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision.

This is an impeachment offense, and if our press were worth half of a quarter of a shit, it would be all over every single channel, kind of like Joe Biden being a bit slow with a name now and then.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

I am waiting for European leaders to tell us the truth about the United States. The U.S. is becoming a hostile fascist state and we have to be prepared to deal with it. The U.S. is gone as an ally.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

No one in legacy media will call him on this! It is beyond parody at this point.
And to think there are media organizations that still refuse to call Trump a pathological liar.
“I’d have no problem releasing the video”

“I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.”

Women who uphold the patriarchy and constantly demean feminism should not be online spouting their opinions on their own social media platforms.

You shouldn’t have an opinion or a platform. Let your husband do that for you…
