LAURENCE OLIVIER underwent treatment for cancer during filming, which affected his memory so badly he could barely remember more than one or two lines at a time.
Even so, his superb performance earned him an Oscar nomination & won him a Golden Globe.

MARATHON MAN (1976)

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED, NEIL.......

Even if you started now and dedicated your entire life to it, you could never hate and punish people who serve in the armed forces as much as this White House does.

Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?

Good Question! (1/3)

Maybe someone should mention to him that George Washington ordered mandatory smallpox inoculation in 1777 because he didn't want his troops to be wiped out by their own bodies.

Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—

If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”

—Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

Stevens to RFK Jr: "To top it off, Mr Secretary, I got a copy of HR-944. You know what it is? It's your impeachment articles, sir. You have abused your office, you have gutted America's public health! You should be ashamed."

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.

These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.

And they put Trump's ego before America.

Every damn time.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Interesting that Mike Johnson and others are coaching the Pope on topics to avoid. It’s almost like they’re believers in the separation of church and state. Who knew?

Hypocrisy owns the chat.

If only anyone in both parties and both houses of today’s Congress had the smallest share of her courage.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕

*All four astronauts went to public schools!

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

I love to think that Stephen Colbert will make so much money off his LOTR movie, that he initiates a hostile takeover of CBS in 4 years... And takes down Morgoth!

The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down.

Instead, he drove it up.

I can't stop admiring this photo by the Artemis II crew made of the moon. (Nikon D5 shot at f 7.1 at 800th of a second on 400 iso at 80 mm)

Marco Rubio in 2016 clocked what we should expect from a Trump government

Rubio: “It would be chaos — no one knows, but it would look probably like the positions he's held for all these years on many of these issues — he is wholly unprepared to be president of the United States”

Turns out Russia, Russia, Russia was worse than we thought

It seems America has run on the honor system for 250 years. Then we ran out of honor.

A madman is in charge and he’s surrounded by cowards. Now we find that impeachment is meaningless. The 25th amendment is meaningless. The Bill of Rights is meaningless. And the Constitution is meaningless.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

“Loneliness has been the curse of my life. What should I have done if my Imagination had not been my companion? I must have groveled on the earth— I must have died—
O but my dreams my darling sun bright dreams!”

-Mary Shelley, 1834
