RIP Rob and Michele Reiner. Married 35 years. Such talent, genuinely kind and generous people. Rob changed my life with movies like When Harry Met Sally that I quote frequently. So clever! Such a brilliant Director and Actor. Rob gave space and support to his cast to be their best. I’m heartbroken!

John Braun wants to take WA backwards, standing with Big Pharma, defending Trump’s tax handouts, and siding with the ultra-wealthy over hard-working people. WA doesn’t need a Trump loyalist. They need a real leader who will put them first.

drumpf once said Ozempic costs $1300 per month. But if he makes a deal with big pharma to bring cost down by “1500%” then you”ll be able to get Ozempic for free and take home $18,200 a month to boot! Bet Wharton School of Finance is so proud of their basic math program.
