One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Reiner made a lot of great films including, appropriately for this season, the underrated collegiate road-trip Christmas comedy The Sure Thing. And let’s not forget the key role he played behind the scenes in getting Prop 8 overturned. Just the worst news.

I can’t gather all my Rob Reiner thoughts at this point in the evening, but my very first favorite grown-up movie that was My Favorite Movie, like I went around telling people for years that it was, was THE SURE THING in 1985. A very big part of the romcom switch being flipped for me.
