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.

TAKE NOTE: 1. The hero of the Bondi Beach massacre of Jews celebrating Hannukah is a Muslim immigrant. His name is Ahmed al Ahmed. He is fr Syria

Unarmed, he jumped one of the shooters, was shot himself, and reduced the carnage

You will never hear Trump recognize his Muslim background or immigrant

I know things can feel heavy and hopeless at times. There is so much needless death and tragedy all around us.

When you’re feeling low, reach out to your loved ones. Tell them how much they mean to you.

Spread some love and laughter in a weary world.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I met Rob Reiner when we did Bill Maher’s show together.

He was a good hearted man who fought his whole life for progressive values.

I’m so so sad😢 www.latimes.com/california/s...

If you want to know why we lost in 2024 look no further than our failure to run a negative campaign focused on Trump’s dangerous plans for America.

Rob Reiner was the consummate storyteller. Over and over, he revealed us to ourselves: what it is to be young and have friends, to fall in love, to feel misery and vengeance, to feel alive. And the laughs. So many laughs. The loss of Rob Reiner is... inconceivable.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

HOT OFF THE PRESS: My latest piece on Germany’s energy transition & the heating law.

It already offers a solid path to phase out fossil heating.

What we need: stable funding, better local planning & skilled workers. Cutting complexity instead of endless political debate.
