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.

The American President has always been one of my favorite films. Not just for its Capra-esque quality, but for this powerful "speech" at the end.
We watched it again tonight for the first time in a long time, and for the first time ever, I cried at the end.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

Trump saying we should “throw Ilhan Omar out of the country” isn’t a gaffe — it’s the blueprint. Dehumanize, other, expel. This is how strongmen talk when they think no one will stop them. We’ve seen this playbook before, and it always leads to darker places.

I think we want Netflix to buy WB, because they're creatively vapid but they're less intensely pro-Trump than the alternative

I'm not a business guy, but financing aside, this makes sense.
Netflix’s new bid to buy Warner Bros is a mostly cash offer.
The company is arranging a mega-loan to be able to buy WB

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.

My heart is with their families as they go through this unthinkable pain.

CORRECTION: West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey walks back statement that both National Guard members were killed in shooting near White House. (This post corrects a previous post that stated the two members had died.)
Two National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP source says
Two National Guard soldiers were shot Wednesday near the White House and their conditions aren’t immediately known, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.Emergency vehicles were seen responding to the area.
