Carl Reiner gave Rob Reiner a copy of The Princess Bride, and Rob Reiner loved it and its father/son love story so much he turned it into a movie (with a grandfather and grandson). Three days before Carl’s death in 2020, he and Rob reenacted the final scene and “As you wish”

Rob Reiner directed my favorite movie in the world, and then made all my dreams come true by, with @Cary_Elwes, organizing a cast reunion table read Zoom fundraiser for @WisDems. A heart, spirit, & talent big enough for the whole world. May his & Michele's memory be a blessing.

An anecdote I cherish is Mandy Patinkin once asked Rob Reiner what The Princess Bride was about. Reiner said it’s about a grandfather telling his grandson that the most important thing in in the world is love. I think that’s beautiful.

It’s official. Over 275,000 Wisconsinites will see their health care costs double on average thanks to Donald Trump and Republicans. My colleagues across the aisle seem to be fine with that. I’m not.

Congressional Republicans voted to increase health care premiums. Republicans are playing games with your health care. Data from @wisconsinoci shows that if they let ACA tax credits expire, 60+ year old Wisconsinites could pay $33,000 more each year.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care. Trump and Republicans more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by

Source familiar anticipates "at least" 8 Senate Democratic caucus members are going to vote for the deal. (And yes, you have to specify Democratic caucus in this case because Sen. King is among the dealmakers)

Senator Tammy Baldwin is absolutely right— there can’t be a deal based on a wink and a nod, we need a real fix for working families. Health care for 275,000 Wisconsinites and millions of Americans is worth fighting for.
