Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s best friends have released a statement honoring them to the Associated Press:
"Going to the movies in a dark theater filled with strangers having a common experience, laughing, crying, screaming in fear, or watching an intense drama unfold is still an unforgettable thrill. Tell us a story audiences demand of us. Absorbing all he had learned from his father Carl and his mentor Norman Lear, Rob Reiner not only was a great comic actor, he became a master story teller. There is no other director who has his range. From comedy to drama to 'mockumentary' to documentary he was always at the top of his game. He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his tilms. His comedic touch was beyond compare, his love of getting the music of the dialogue just right, and his sharpening of the edge of a drama was simply elegant. For the actors, he loved them. For the writers he made them better. His greatest gift was freedom. If you had an idea, he listened, he brought you into the process. They always felt they were working as a team. To be in his hands as a film maker was a privilege but that is only part of his legacy. Rob was also a passionate, brave citizen, who not only cared for this country he loved, he did everything he could to make it better and with his loving wife Michele, he had the perfect partner. Strong and determined, Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens... They were a special force together-dynamic, unselfish and inspiring. We were their friends, and we will miss them torever. There is a line from one of Rob's favorite films, 'It's a Wonderful Life,' 'Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?' You have no idea. " Billy Crystal and Janice Crystal Albert Brooks and Kimberly Brooks Martin Short Alan Zweibel and Robin Zweibel Larry David and Ashley Underwood Marc Shaiman and Lou Mirabal Barry Levinson and Diana Levinson Ambassador James Costos and Michael Smith

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

Trump: “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene…”
Donald J. Trump -+ @realDonaldTrump I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of "Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women's Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden's Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., having created the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see "Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn't have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn't about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Yes, let’s not lose sight of the crimes— rape and sexual abuse of girls. The horror of camaraderie among rapists who thought power insulated them from the dictates of human decency and morality

This is about women and children as objects and tools and how abuse of them is not just tolerated and ignored but facilitated and celebrated.

EPSTEIN: even today, after the release of the key Epstein-Maxwell emails in which Epstein says Trump knew about the "girls" but hasn't "barked" (presumably, talked), the NYT reports that the WH is intensely pressuring the House NOT to vote to release more? How much worse is what we have not seen?

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. The #NoKings movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings.

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

A critical premise of the work of the 14th Amendment Center is that we are all founders & framers of the future of democracy in this country.

"We have no king," Illinois says, updating the court on all the authoritarian things Trump has said since Monday.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Since Plaintiffs’ Monday morning filings and the Court’s initial hearing that afternoon, the Trump administration has continued its purposeful defiance of the lawful bounds of its power to create a federal military occupation of Illinois.1 Indeed, in the past few days, the President has repeated his disdain for any guardrails on those powers. A few hours after the Monday hearing in this case, Trump issued an after-the-fact memorandum invoking 10 U.S.C. § 12406 to federalize National Guard troops that Secretary Hegseth had already deployed into Illinois. That same day, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller asserted the authoritarian view that the President has “plenary authority”—sweeping and unlimited power—to federalize National Guard troops and dispatch them to American cities like Chicago. The next day, Trump told press in the Oval Office that he might just invoke the Insurrection Act to “get around” judicial orders blocking his unlawful troop deployments, like the one last weekend in Oregon. Then just yesterday, Trump himself posted on social media that the Governor of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago should be jailed. These were not empty threats. They were made even as defendants dispatched a third state’s National Guard to Illinois in federalized status, this time from California, and without any new deployment order specific to Illinois. This lawless targeting by the President and his administration of people and places he does not favor will not stop without court intervention. The Court can and should stop this authoritarian march. We remain a nation of laws, we have no king, and the President has no such “plenary authority” to federalize National Guard troops and deploy them into the streets of Illinois. The Court should enter a preliminary injunction against defendants’ federalization and deployment of any state’s National Guard, or deployment of U.S. military, into Illinois over the objection of its Governor.
