Larry David brings his own comic perspective to America's storied history in the new HBO sketch comedy series, "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness." He talks with Susie Essman about finally making use of his history major from college, and how he took comments from one of the show's producers, former President Barack Obama.

Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller and refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool and it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the National Guard. And then because of his war and tariffs, inflation rose to over 4%. He promised to bring down prices on day one, do you remember that?"

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I wish to express my solidarity with our Venezuelan brothers and sisters affected by the recent earthquakes, which have caused numerous deaths and injuries, as well as extensive damage to property. Praying to the Lord for the eternal rest of the deceased, I renew my spiritual solidarity with their families, the injured, and all who have been shaken by this tragedy. I also wish to express my gratitude and encouragement to those generously working on search and rescue efforts and providing assistance.

The Supreme Court has allowed TPS for Haitians to end, putting families in Springfield and communities across the country at risk of being sent back to a country in chaos. Congress can and should extend these protections.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is the most corrupt words to come out of a Speaker's mouth imaginable. The job of Congress isn't to protect the President and his family. It's to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. You're damn right we will investigate crimes and corruption. Who moved $180 million in oil futures 15 minutes before Iran announcements? Who has gotten sole source contracts because of their connections to the Trump family? Where did our social security data go when DOGE downloaded it into portable hard drives? Where are the rest of the Epstein files? On and on this Congress has chosen covering up crimes instead of stopping them. That ends in November. @WellmanForMO

Sen. Warren: "What's the annual wage growth right now? It's just a facts question."

Phelan: "I do not have that in front of me right now."

Warren: "It's 3.4%. So let's put this one together. Is 4.2% higher than 3.4%?"

Phelan: "I will repeat what I said, which is real wage growth in this administration is positive."

Sen. Warren: "Right now families are falling behind...You have now made clear what your position is, and that is you can't even do the basic facts...You can't bring yourself as the person who sits there and says, 'I want to be the head of the Council of Economic Advisors,' and you can't even say, 'Yeah, inflation is running higher than wages right now'...I think this person has disqualified himself in five minutes."

@WajahatAli I have no idea what these idiots even do. All they talk about is Sharia Law in Texas when R’s have been in charge here since 1990s?
How are we even a functioning governement here- federal or state?
Gotta wax rhetorical because it’s all I got besides voting.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

@SamanthaNiblet4 Don’t let your media & politicos push out Starmer like they did to Biden here because they think he is “boring.” The grass isn’t always greener on the other side- unless you are looking for an algae-infested reflecting pool as a metaphor. Hold the Line @Keir_Starmer

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

We’ve learnt some bad news that Donny Strathie passed away in Boston on Sunday. He had a ticket for the Morocco game, but never got the chance to realize his World Cup dream.

It would mean a lot to his family if we could organise a minutes applause in the 76th minute of the Morocco game.
