Terrific story about Rob Reiner being as much of a mensch in real life as he seemed.

You know things are bad when Trump changes his trademark “Two weeks” to “6 months to a year.”

The Republican chairman of the Oversight Committee has refused to excuse Bill and Hillary Clinton from appearing in person for depositions in the Epstein investigation. It is the starkest example yet of House Republicans’ attempt to shift focus away from President Trump and onto prominent Democrats.

This is a sick, disgraceful man, and we need to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2026 to stand up to a Republican Party that continues to be led by this shameless person.

Every time you think Trump can’t possibly get any worse, he gets worse.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is not, nor has it ever been intended as a license to commit mass murder. We must elect Democratic candidates, who will enact sensible gun safety laws. The radical Republican right has sold their soul to the NRA.

The deadline for the Trump administration to release the full Epstein Files is this Friday. No more protecting rich pedophiles or enablers. No more lying and hiding the truth from the American people. Make everything public.

The other half were reassigned to blacking out Trump's name from the Epstein files.

Trump is pushing Ukraine to surrender only because Russia is losing. 1.2M deaths. decimated equipment. A 3 day war lasting 3 years.All for a few scraps of land. Putin's time is running out. Don't surrender an inch of Ukraine.

Maybe the FBI would be more efficient at finding mass murderers if (1) their agents were not busy tracking down hard-working law-abiding immigrants (2) they were not run by right-wing conspiracy-theorist podcasters?

'No agreement expected today' — Umerov's spokesperson walks back earlier statement. Rustem Umerov's press secretary clarified that the U.S. and Ukraine merely hope to align their positions by the end of the day.

As the film world and people of good taste around the world mourn the sudden death of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer, President Donald Trump jumped to make the apparent double homicide about himself. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Meet Brittany Bennett, the DOJ’s new voting lawyer with a record of promoting false conspiracy theories. And she was a key player behind a 2024 GOP effort to ban Georgia from using Dominion voting machines.

This is both a disgrace and criminal. Will anything come of it? Spread the word and let’s make some noise.

Not extending ACA subsidies means millions of our people will have to choose between seeing the doctor and buying groceries or paying rent. GOP cruelty is not good for public health.

Rep. Ryan Zinke on healthcare: "I would imagine we'll probably get some bills to reduce overall care"

That isn't a Freudian slip, that's republican policy.

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump. Write it, NYT. End the normalization. @nytimes.com

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) on Trump social media post: "Trump’s statement is sick and dangerous because he suggests the Reiners killings were because they were vocal critics of the Trump admin. This rhetoric divides the country, paints targets on private citizens and risks inciting political violence"

Chrissy and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Rob’s storytelling shaped generations with humor and humanity, and Michele was a constant force for good beside him. We are praying for their family and all who loved them.

1. Measles is ravaging South Carolina. Over 100 people infected, and hundreds more in quarantine. In response, RFK Jr., the nation's top public health official, has been SILENT But it's much worse than that. RFK Jr. and his allies are undermining confidence in the vaccine

Yet another blunder by the clown in charge of the FBI. It's stunning, really, watching real time the most unqualified (and obviously so) FBI director in its 100+ years history. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Dr. Leila Denmark co-developed the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine. World's oldest practicing pediatrician until she retired at age 103 (after 73 yrs). At the time of her death at age 114 & 60 days, she was the 5th-oldest validated living person in the world & 3rd-oldest in the US. #WomenInSTEM

Anyone still serving in the Trump Administration must reckon with the reality that, when the government has previously perpetrated egregious miscarriages of justice, history has not been forgiving to those who’ve gone along, however reluctantly. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Grace Strobel & her friends have a strong #CupOfJoe for President Trump. “This is not about politics. It’s about human decency. When you posted the R-word on your social media for the world to see, you showed no human decency.” Words DO MATTER. Do better.

These aren’t “leaks”. These are sent to congress members involved in the Epstein investigation committee from the Epstein estate. They are releasing what they receive, if they can. If you know anything about pedophiles, it’s that they hang out where they have access. He had money & access.
