Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.
Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into "an official command investigation."
If Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth think they can stop me from doing my job and serving the American people, they've got the wrong guy.
Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.
To be clear, you're calling for a New Jersey-born bishop to be deported because you don't like that she exercised her First Amendment right by delivering a sermon in accordance with her faith imploring Trump to show empathy to people?
As the son of two police officers, it’s outrageous to see people convicted of assaulting officers at our Capitol be pardoned by President Trump. It’s a sad day for our country.
I strongly disagree with the President’s decision on Denali. Our nation’s tallest mountain, which has been called Denali for thousands of years, must continue to be known by the rightful name bestowed by Alaska’s Koyukon Athabascans, who have stewarded the land since time immemorial.
Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.
The halls they protected were desecrated by hate and chaos. Offices ransacked. The electoral count delayed.
Today, in a grim irony, Donald Trump took the oath of office under the protection of those same officers, standing in those same hallowed halls he incited violence against just four years earlier.
And in one of his first acts, he pardoned the perpetrators and planners of that violence and sedition.
Trump’s action today is a sick betrayal of the rule of law and adds grievous insult to injury to law enforcement officers. These men and women fought to uphold the rule of law, only to see it mocked by a man who swore just a few hours ago, to God and country, to defend it.
It’s a desecration of memory and the idea of a peaceful transfer of power, and a brazen attempt to rewrite history.
But history will not be rewritten. Not by a thousand lies or a thousand pardons.
Instead, we may be witnessing something worse: the newest milestone along the road to autocracy, in which a president pardons those who do violence on his behalf and encourages others to do the more of the same.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
Florida school library bans “The Hills We Climb," the poem written & read by Amanda Gorman at Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Ron DeSantis & Donald Trump don't want you to hear this poem, so I'm posting it here. Pass it on.
Bob Graham Education Center — a K-8 school located in Miami Lakes — has banned student from reading or checking out the following books.
They said the reason included references of, "indirect hate messages," critical race theory, gender ideology & indoctrination.
1. The Hills We Climb
2. Cuban Kids
3. Countries in the News Cuba
4. Love to Langston
5. The ABCs of Black History
Ironically, the controversy led to a surge in sales for Amanda Gorman's writing. "The Hills We Climb" hit #1 on the Amazon Best Seller list.

Did you know? Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.
I submitted my resignation last week…my 2 year term was already up 🤷♂️😅
I was honored to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. My fellow council members - unpaid volunteers like me - were hardworking, talented people who inspired me every day. I’m proud of what we accomplished on behalf of the American people…like a historic partnership between the White House and every major sports league to increase access to sports and health programs for kids.
I hope @realdonaldtrump exercises his presidential authority so the Council can continue to advocate for fitness and good health for all Americans. These are bipartisan issues…nonpartisan issues.
May God give you the wisdom, Mr. President, to put politics and name calling aside…and instead lift up the everyday people working to bring America together. Let’s build longer tables….
Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.
RETWEET if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!
