Rob Reiner credited his dad Carl Reiner and his "second father" Norman Lear for his activism.
Losing them all in a span of just 5 years is heartbreaking.
Rob Reiner's creative achievements will live on, but his willingness to risk it all for social justice is, for me, his greatest legacy. #FilmSky

That empathy extended well beyond his films. Rob was a passionate advocate for children and for civil rights — from taking on Big Tobacco, fighting for marriage equality, to serving as a powerful voice in early education. He made California a better place through his good works.

Meanwhile Trump jokes about Venezuelan fishermen being afraid to go out in their boats.
It was never about drugs. It's about stealing oil and killing people for kicks.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "There is very grave concern in Congress about these strikes in general. These individuals are not being subject to criminal prosecution, and if we they were subject to criminal prosecution, there's no capital punishment."

The concerning thing is that Trump genuinely seems to think he’s taking high flying IQ tests, when in reality he’s being screened to see if he’s safe to be left alone with sharp implements.

Hard to say which is more concerning, Trump’s doctors ordering at least 3 cognitive tests or the fact he finds them difficult.

Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."
