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.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

In NJ, "Ms. Sherrill won a whopping 18% of Mr. Trump’s Hispanic support..." Democrats didn't just energize Democrat voters on Nov 4th--they flipped Trump voters. Maybe cruelty, chaos, mass layoffs, inflation, & starvation aren't the flex the GOP thinks they are? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

My favorite tree in Paris, 5 years ago today. We lived by Parc Monceau & I walked there almost every day except when it was closed for lockdown. This tree had many moods, but was its best in fall.
