For millions of us, this was the first time we ever saw Rob Reiner. …When he became “Meathead” on “All in the Family.”
He was brilliant from Day One.

I’ll never forget his warmth and unpretentiousness. Rob Reiner was the proverbial mensch. May he and his wife rest in peace. His memory will always be a blessing to me from that one small interaction we had. I’m sure he touched people’s lives like this everywhere he went. We’ll miss him.

When your “exclusive” lasts all of 7 hours, because you publicly named a guy who was never charged with a crime, and who now is being hounded by trolls, and will have this show up in internet searches for the rest of his life.

![Top advertisers stayed away from Saturday night’s CBS News town hall led by Bari Weiss in conversation with Erika Kirk, which could dampen plans for more forums like it, Brian Steinberg reported. [Variety]
Weiss indicated more programming similar to the town hall is in the works, saying, “CBS is going to have many more conversations like this in the weeks and months ahead, so stay tuned. More town halls. More debates. More talking about the things that matter.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:svawqo4jxobyyuqmixplvcux/bafkreicebclm4scafjowq75nsi7wfr7i73c4uv77no3zilba6l3vhjznjm@jpeg)

Over 7.5 million women in the U.S. have used mifepristone for medication abortion since its 2000 FDA approval.
It's 4x safer than penicillin and ten times safer than Viagra.

Brennan eventually acknowledges that gynecologists and obstetricians have determined mifepristone is safe — but then demands again to know why the government isn’t launching a study to crack down on its usage.

This was the Chabad Chanukah party just before the massacre.
Look at how many children were there.
Entire families were enjoying sufganiot, eating, dancing, and celebrating together.
And they were murdered for celebrating Chanukah. For being Jewish.
