There's Trump Derangement Syndrome, sure. It's been a mainstay of U.S. politics for the better part of a decade.

And then there's ... this.

The optics of this are, incredibly, true: Rep. Grijalva, may he rest in peace, died early Thursday:

Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., died of lung cancer-related issues on Thursday morning, his office announced in a statement. In Congress, the southern Arizona Democrat was most known for his work on the House Natural Resources committee.

... but hours later his account was still firing off anti-Trump tweets:

The replies were immediate β€” including from the X CEO himself:

The congressman, who received an outpouring of support on Thursday from friends on Capitol Hill, was 77 years old. He had served in Congress since 2003.

RIP Rep. Grijalva β€” and your Twitter account, too, hopefully.
