We staffed the entire FBI with guys who only make memes and podcasts, hope that doesn't affect our ability to respond to major crimes

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Jen and I are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Is Wisconsin the Next Redistricting Battleground? Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Wisconsin appears poised to be the next high-stakes battleground in the nationwide redistricting fight. With two ongoing lawsuits challenging the state’s current congressional map as a Republican partisan gerrymander, redistricting could be in the cards.

He cannot trust the US… especially when it’s 2 greedy real estate Putin puppets doing the negotiating.

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."

They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Maybe people shouldn't have access to AR-15-style weapons in America?

Maybe this isn't want the Founders imagined with the 2nd amendment and also helps, in part, explains why there are so many fatalities from the absurd number of mass shootings in this country?

Oh well. Let's distract.

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

NEW: The FBI and DOJ have the original Epstein jail video, and their copy doesn't have a missing minute like the one they released to the public. They should release the missing minute. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

NEW: The Senate just reintroduced the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore and expand federal protections for our right to vote.

As states continue to pass legislation that makes voting harder, it's time for our leaders to protect this essential right.

"I completely agree with Nick Fuentes" is a sentence I never thought I'd write.

Who could've predicted??

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Since 2009, I’ve shopped Etsy for gifts, keepsakes for my kids, and other special items.

I will *never* make a purchase from Etsy again since learning they’ve allowed Alligator Alcatraz merch on their site.

Etsy should be ashamed of themselves for profiting off human trafficking. Despicable.

Times pushed ahead to avoid being scooped on Mamdani Columbia story The paper reported that the New York City Democratic mayoral nominee marked himself as both “Asian” and “Black or African American” on an admissions form.

Yup, makes NYT look even worse
