There are so many Diane Keaton performances to remember, but a lot of people haven't seen Reds, and A) my God, see it, it is a masterpiece and B) her performance as Louise Bryant is one of the bravest, toughest, least sympathy-courting pieces of work by an American actress in the last 50 years.

Man, I loved some damn Diane Keaton.

A solid broad. Self-possessed, effortless style, never felt like she took herself too seriously.

We lost a real one.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

It's really sad how people struggling to free or defend their countries, like Zelensky and this woman, have to repeatedly debase themselves in front of this man because there is no longer any responsible leader of the Free World.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

If two parties insist on “dueling versions” of reality, but one party includes journalists, local cops, local residents, and the other includes plagiarists, propagandists, and Orwellian GOP liars, it’s worth saying there is one reality, and one lurid fantasy. newrepublic.com/article/2016...
