Today in The December Comfort Watches: This is Spinal Tap. Because it's one of the funniest movies of all time, and I think Rob Reiner would want us to remember to feel joy, even, and especially, when surrounded by sadness.

ICYMI: My Conversation with Alan with Ely Winkler is a must-watch. Ely shares his journey growing up Orthodox, coming out, finding Eshel, learning from his rabbi father, and now helping others find belonging where faith and identity meet. Powerful, honest, & deeply moving. Link to watch in profile.

I'm shocked and saddened beyond words. #RobReiner was such a gentle man, a creative genius. I am shocked that anyone would kill him and his wife, and now they are saying it was his son? I hope that isn't true. This is not the ending he deserved. Loved him. So many great movies, such a kind man.

Please join me in wishing Liz Keifer a Happy Birthday! Fans loved her as Blake on Guiding Light. She’s kicking up her heels in Follies at the Depot Theater through 11/23. And this Angels-inspired Guiding Light photo shoot remains one of my favorites ever created for fans. Happy Birthday, Liz!

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Dick Cheney was not my favorite person, but he did one thing really well. He raised an incredible daughter. Liz Cheney torched her career to stand up for justice in the Jan 6th hearings, and her integrity has been solid, even though she gains nothing personally. I'm sorry for her suffering right now
