BREAKING: Kennedy Niece Maria Shriver: "It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."

Today in The December Comfort Watches: This is Spinal Tap. Because it's one of the funniest movies of all time, and I think Rob Reiner would want us to remember to feel joy, even, and especially, when surrounded by sadness. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/15/t...

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

I'm shocked and saddened beyond words. #RobReiner was such a gentle man, a creative genius. I am shocked that anyone would kill him and his wife, and now they are saying it was his son? I hope that isn't true. This is not the ending he deserved. Loved him. So many great movies, such a kind man.

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Dick Cheney was not my favorite person, but he did one thing really well. He raised an incredible daughter. Liz Cheney torched her career to stand up for justice in the Jan 6th hearings, and her integrity has been solid, even though she gains nothing personally. I'm sorry for her suffering right now

The next time I see the chief of police, I'm going to turn myself as being the leader of Antifa.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Robert Redford (1936-2025) should be remembered as much for his social conscience as for his talents as a storyteller. This 1976 interview about ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN is a sobering reminder of what we’ve lost. #RobertRedford #FilmSky

Listening to the hearing today makes you feel sick as you realize the statements Kennedy has made. Dr. Monarez stated: “He said that CDC employees were killing children and they don’t care. He said that CDC employees were bought by the pharmaceutical industry. He said CDC

Ugh, I really feel for the Royals having to entertain Trump. Was it really necessary for him to ride in the coach??? I thought only monarchs could do that. #Trump #Royals
