Rob Reiner was a magnanimous, caring, thoughtful, and gracious man.
His impact on American culture — through film, storytelling, and civic engagement — was profound. It’s devastating to lose both Rob and his wife Michele under such tragic circumstances.

Rob Reiner was an American Icon who, through his art and activism, held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. Our heart breaks at the senseless loss of our friend.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Two critical points to make about the times we are in:
1)
the GOP is hollowed out, Trump is weak and so are their benefactors
this sounds great, and gives hope, but it means they are dangerous now
2)
humor is good, laugh at them
we can also seriously pursue truth and justice

Like you, I’m wondering why Democrats are releasing Epstein photos in drips. The most likely reason is to raise awareness and pressure the DOJ and WH to release all Epstein-related files. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ has a legal deadline of Dec. 19 to make those records public.🤞

Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027.
With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.
