Only 1 Republican Votes To End Trump's Iran War Congress will hold no formal debate on another costly military conflict in the Middle East that has already left six U.S. servicemembers dead.

The failed 47-53 vote ensures lawmakers will hold no formal debate on another costly military conflict in the Middle East that has already left 6 U.S. servicemembers and hundreds of Iranian civilians dead. www.huffpost.com/entry/iran-w...

I'm a Schumer hater with the best of them but using his face for this when the vote was nearly 100% along party lines (Fettermen and Paul swapped) is irresponsible at best.

Republicans own this. Fuck Chuck Schumer! But what we're not gonna do is pull the blame away from where it belongs for clicks.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

THE BRIDE! Review: The Wildest (and Best) Frankenstein Film In Years Maggie Gyllenhaal's mad monster remix delivers a modern classic.

Maggie Gyllenhaal really looked at her husband and said, "I have a role for you in my new movie. You're going to represent all of the self-identifying well-meaning men who are actually do-nothing putzes who would be lost without women saving their ass" and I just think that's neat.

While on the topic, it feels important to acknowledge that Gyllenhaal’s smartest male character isn’t that of Frankenstein but of Peter Sarsgaard’s Detective Jake Wiles. Sarsgaard performs the character admirably, of course, but the cleverness of Wiles exists in his simplicity. Throughout The Bride, he repeatedly insists that things aren’t β€œup to him” while never even trying to affect change. Sure, it’s a pity all them broads are losing their tongues, but it ain’t up to him! Awful that the Commissioner dropped that important case, but it ain’t up to him! Pity that his partner (β€œsecretary”) Myrna Mallow (Penelope Cruz) can’t have her name on their cases because she’s a lady. It. Ain’t. Up. To. Him.

The Bride! Review Reclamation, reinvigoration, rejuvenation… that is the song that Gyllenhaal’s The Bride sings.

Here comes the mfing bride indeed!

Is Buckley our greatest living actress? I find myself more and more convinced she is with each role.

Gyllenhaal’s third feature is my kind of fever dream, even if there's a bit in the middle that left me grinding my teeth.

The ADA could tell I'm a Type-A disaster and made sure to tell me I did a very good job testifying though, so that's two gold stars today.
