"Above all, Rob was a mensch. We were friends. He was a big shot who did not act like a big shot."
Rob Reiner was a mensch. In death, he showed us Trump’s a schmuck.
The president's remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast Trump as petty and callous.

There is a comment period open re gutting equal rights for the equal credit opportunity act, so banks can't discriminate against women and minorities. I can handle my own money and get credit without my husband's approval. The comment period is open; please share! www.regulations.gov/document/CFP...

This is from the prosecutors opening statement in the judge Dugan trial, but under cross, the investigating agent just admitted they have no idea what “business as usual” looks like in the Milwaukee courthouse. Not going well for the government here.
Judge Dugan's clerk informed her that ICE was in the hallway.
"Then it was no longer business as usual. Then it was no longer a routine day," the prosecutor says.

Protesters in NYC literally blocked an ICE convoy from leaving their staging garage. People are learning from other cities. They’re finding ICE staging areas. They’re patrolling neighborhoods. They’re building rapid response networks. ICE is on the defense now.

The phrase “Hold Fast” comes from centuries-old nautical tradition. Sailors carved or tattooed the words across their knuckles as both a reminder and a plea: when the storm hits, grip the rigging and don’t let go.
So to all who feel the deck pitching beneath them: HOLD FAST.
