I feel like it would somehow be fitting if Four Seasons Total Landscaping is called in to fix the reflecting pool

Perhaps… because he’s a blowhard douchebag? Maybe?

At the DGA meeting this week they announced there will now be a “Pilot Directed by” credit as part of new contract. I hope James Burrows died happy in that knowledge. Rest in power. #DGA

Huge thanks for lovely review, Biff!!

Proud to say we both directed scripts by Jules Feiffer!

I feel like if anyone was gearing up to write the definitive book on the Trump regime then a perfect title would be The Florsheims Fit Fine.

The kids are alright.

Today in 1974—as the House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearings against President Richard Nixon were well underway—the Washington Post published this Herblock editorial cartoon. Ultimately, nearly every Republican in Congress backed the Constitution, forcing Nixon to resign. (Now, not so much.)

Nice piece on Iowa Senate race. Thanks to CNN for talking about Sen Tom Harkin’s legacy of the ADA . (I was a speechwriter for him at the time of its passage and have fond memories of figuring out how to get a screengrab of his historic sign language speech in sufficient resolution to get to press)

Proud to say my Toyota Sienna minivan has never accused me of being part of the globalist cabal of Jews who run Hollywood. It knows better! #NoAI

Idiocracy (2006) really deserves a lifetime achievement award

Yo @whartonrigby.bsky.social is this true?? And how IS Kyra Sushi??

Stonehenge!!!! #SpinalTap

Mike Johnson quoting the subtitle of our book, “I Am Martin Eisenstadt: One Man’s WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE Adventures with the Last Republicans.” Maybe he’s a fan??

“Hondurasgate Looks Worse than Watergate and Iran-Contra Combined” — my @washingtonmonthly.bsky.social look at the giant bonkers scandal no one (in America) is talking about washingtonmonthly.com/2026/05/12/h...

This is a bizarre rabbit hole to go down: a series of interlocking profiles - all AI, all use #YorkPA hashtags, all “film photographers” who smell things. I’m guessing paid for by York chamber of commerce?? Or early promo for indie film set in York? Proof of concept for AI company??

I thought we established that Forbes is easily manipulated in calculating Trump’s wealth???

Today in 1962, the United States conducted FRIGATE BIRD, the only US nuclear proof test of a live warhead on an operational ballistic missile. In the Pacific, the USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608) launched a Polaris A1 SLBM toward Christmas Island (Kiritimati). The W47 Y1 warhead’s yield was about 600 kt.

Trump as Lady Liberty???! NOW who’s cross-dressing?

And THIS is why my next film is ATOMIC FONDUE!

Brilliant idea!!! CBS can’t succumb to being an unedited CSPAN one minute, then an edited news program the next. They made this bed, they need to sleep in it. DNC has as much standing to sue as Trump did.

Rustling up support for our next film ATOMIC FONDUE in DC from the fondue lobby AND the nuclear lobby… naturally! (To donate, go to: www.thefilmcollaborative.org/fiscalsponso... )

“People familiar with the matter said” what kind of journalism is that?? This is literally rumor mongering if you can’t reveal any more about your sourcing.

I can’t help but wonder how good of a mentalist this guy was: He looks as shocked as anyone.

For an infinitesimal amount of money Americans used to prevent suffering and death in Zambia. The Trump administration cut off the funding and now suffering and deaths is restored. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

I feel like there’s a Chappell Roan song about this…

"Trump had come in promising that “for the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!” On the inside, my colleagues and I instead saw cronyism, incompetence, and a series of bizarre moves that would lead to the Kennedy Center going dark." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Check out my hourglass figure just in time for bikini (atoll?) season…!?! open.substack.com/pub/danmirvi...

President in an intractable war on Earth talked to astronauts on the Moon… #Nixon (in our film 18 1/2 Nixon calls them “MoonSwingers” ) m.youtube.com/watch?v=cSha...

Reminds me of Nixon and the Apollo astronauts. The Nixon library has some great audio of Nixon talking to them. That influenced some dialogue in 18 ½ - Nixon calls the astronauts “goddamn Moon swingers”

Wait… if Elliott Abrams is the voice of reason, that says something…

And this is why my next film is ATOMIC FONDUE - a Cold War thriller/comedy set in 1973… but more relevant now than ever. For more info, go to: www.danmirvish.com/Atomic-Fondue @radiofreetom.bsky.social check it out

Uhhh, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social - yo, what can California do??

If you like Watergate, movies, and split diopters shots, I encourage you to watch our film 18½. ATPM is still the Watetgate/film/splits GOAT, but we tried our best (and yes, we got a nod to Redford, too)

Trump gets a proctology exam. “You may feel a slight discomfort.”

For those who remember what I wrote last summer on my ‘Stack about film schools subject to shrinkage because Trump keeping out international students? UNT film program is case in point… #filmschool #indiefilm

“You may feel some slight discomfort…”

Today in 1959, the New York Times published multiple front-page articles unmasking Operation ARGUS—a top secret, high-altitude nuclear test series—with the tacit approval of senior officials in the Eisenhower administration (who were preparing to declassify the purpose and results of the tests).

“Melania” to receive FIFA Academy Award for Best Picture

President Nixon did not speak with President Trump on this topic.

Yo, filmmakers! Of all stripes: Young, old, emerging, fully emerged, student, professor, Oscar winner or loser, this….

Genius… I hope this wins Best Short Oscar next year!

I truly can’t wait until AI pirates start ingesting “I Am Martin Eisenstadt” as part of the historical record of the 2008 presidential campaign. Also, do the authors get a piece of that $150k per book?? #fsg

Pro-life

I hate fascism so much.

“Ric Grenell plans to transition…”

Yo Guinness!!!

Can this be a solution?

Cha!!! Couldn’t have done it without you!
