Rob Reiner and wife Michele’s son ‘responsible’ for their deaths and remains in custody, police say: Live updates

CloseTrump calls Rob Reiner 'a deranged person' as he doubles down on criticism of dead directorDonald Trump has doubled down his remarks about the late Hollywood director Rob Reiner after he blamed his murder on “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” despite widespread condemnation, including from several prominent Republicans.
Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death on Sunday at their Los Angeles home.
While tributes poured in for the couple from actors and politicians, Trump blamed Reiner’s death on what he called “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME” in a post on Truth Social. A number of prominent GOP members joined in calls urging him to take the message down.

Kamala Harris blasts Trump’s leadership and claims ‘both parties have failed to hold the public’s trust’ in speech to DNC

Former Vice President Kamala Harris offered a rebuke to both Democrats and Republicans during a recent speech, delivering a warning that Americans feel betrayed by their political institutions.
During comments she made Friday to members of the Democratic National Committee, Harris warned that the American dream is dying — and that Democrats had a hand in its demise.
“We must be honest that for so many, the American dream has become more of a myth than reality,” she told the assembled Democrats.
She noted that the growing costs of food, housing, transportation and energy have sparked an affordability crisis. President Donald Trump and his administration have insisted there is no such thing, and messaging suggesting otherwise has been deemed by his camp as a “Democratic hoax.”
This isn't Harris's first time critiquing the nation's political institutions. Earlier this year, she told Stephen Colbert on CBS’s The Late Show that American politics are “broken.” She has offer..
