Rob Reiner was a lion, from an actor to director to activist. May he RIP.
Not only was Rob Reiner a brilliant, genre-hopping film director, he also fought for other people’s projects when he didn’t need to. Most notably, he saved Seinfeld from cancellation, allowing it to grow into a juggernaut that changed the rules of comedy

@brucespringsteen.net, during his “Hope & Dreams” Tour launch in the UK last night:
“The America I know—is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”
His words are painful to hear but filled with undeniable truth.
“We’ll survive this moment.”

Medicaid is the primary payer for most nursing home stays in America. Cutting it will leave seniors & working families with the impossible choice of going broke or struggling to provide care with no support. That’s the real cost of these so-called savings.

Medicaid funding cuts may impact nursing home residents and elder care services nationwide.

They want to take from the poor and give to the rich.
If you pay attention to just one thing tonight, make it this
WATCH: @aoc.bsky.social explains how the Republican bill will:
- Gut Medicaid
- Increase premiums for private health insurance
- Force rural hospitals to close
All to give a giant tax handout to billionaires.
