Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Here's an idea: Rob Reiner's daughters should sue Trump for $20 billion dollars (evidently Trump's favorite number) for slander, defamation, inciting violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Tragic and also seemingly impossible. I grew up watching All In The Family and The Dick Van Dyke Show, which his father created. What a raging talent and fighter for decency. What a devastating loss for his family and friends and anyone with a soul. #robreiner
R.I.P. Rob Reiner 💔 and his wife Michele. Also thinking of the great Carl.

Wow. Wonder just how many governments the Epstein Scandal will bring down?
BASH: Are you saying Israel is pushing Trump to cover up the Epstein files?
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No. I simply just asked out loud
BASH: You had AIPAC up there. It's pretty clear which govt you were talking about
MTG: I'm questioning that govt in particular & questioning any other foreign govt

Just got my health insurance renewal letter from #bcbs. I am a healthy woman with no serious pre-existing conditions. The '26 plan's going up to $2k a month. But at least Trump has his ballroom, Gatsby theme parties, and marble bathroom reno. Glad the country has its priorities straight.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
