That’s how he handled it in 2018.”In West Virginia, guessing what the senator might do is a subject of frequent discussion. “Manchin is tough to beat, even if they do find a good Republican recruit who’s not particularly crazy,” said a Democratic Senate strategist. That might be most true among West Virginia Democrats. Assadzandi declined to divulge further details, saying the topic of primarying Manchin is “incredibly sensitive” in West Virginia. West Virginia politicos, like Plante, have a hard time seeing Manchin bleed considerable Democratic support if he chooses to run.

And despite numerous court proceedings, she said, he’d absconded on years worth of child support and alimony payments. And if she eats at all.”“ I don't think I should feel sorry for him. ”Yekaterina, another mother, echoed that sentiment, noting that while “our laws protect slimeballs who run from child support,” Putin’s so-called “special military operation” does not. “After the announcement of mobilization, I began to read in communities on VK what girls who have also not received child support for years were writing. “I don't think I should feel sorry for him.

Bestselling Novel ‘A Little Life’ Is Now an Epic Piece of Theatrical Torture Porn

And so it is that van Hove’s A Little Life becomes a theatrical endurance test. One can understand why; A Little Life is grim, and when you think it can’t get any more grimmer it exponentially does. And yet, this critic found A Little Life mesmerizing in a—oops, spoiler—car crash kind of a way. In the play Jude is a victim over and over again. There is nothing like A Little Life on the New York stage; nothing that looks like it, nothing that ranges so wildly as it does; nothing as challenging, nothing as ferociously committed to its vision.

Being Polite Nearly Killed Geena Davis. Now She’s Telling All—Including That Bill Murray Story.

Geena Davis’ mother had a favorite story to tell. There was no trip to the police or report of sexual assault, though—something that Davis is grappling with now. “I feel like I did it for little Geena,” Davis tells The Daily Beast’s Obsessed in a recent Zoom interview, explaining why she decided to write Dying of Politeness. In recent years, she won honorary Emmy and Academy Awards for her work crusading for parity, visibility, and representation in Hollywood with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. “Geena Davis changed Hollywood,” we wrote.

‘A Raisin in the Sun’ at the Public Is a Stunning Revival of an American Classic

Nineteen-fifty-nine, the year that Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun was first performed on Broadway, may seem an extremely long time ago. Clint Ramos’ perfect design—the living room of the Younger home on Chicago’s Southside—is the first thing that hooks you. Its scuffs and tears are lived with, but not charming for those who have left to live with them. / Maybe it just sags/Like a heavy load./Or does it explode?”There are many dreams deferred in A Raisin in the Sun—and a lot of things festering. And what we see before us—showing how far society has not evolved, how far it has to go—hits terribly, shatteringly hard.

The Dr. Oz and John Fetterman Debate Was All About Americans’ Fears

John Fetterman takes everything to an extreme, and those extreme positions hurt us all,” Oz said. The Republican then accused Fetterman of trying to get as many convicted murders out of jail as he can. In 2014, Oz said fracking needs more studies about its impact on health—though now he doesn’t mention any reservations with fracking. Fetterman got the upper hand on China by pointing out that Oz’s merchandise is made in China, and he also scored on raising the minimum wage. Oz claimed he wants the minimum wage “as high as it can go,” but through market forces, which he describes as “unleashing” the state’s energy resources.

RT Boss Backs Host Who Wants to Drown Ukrainian Kids

Krasovsky’s vile insistence that any Ukrainian children who complain about being occupied by Russia should be drowned or burned alive prompted condemnation from Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and the head of RT, Margarita Simonyan, who said the state-controlled broadcaster was suspending Krasovsky. Simonyan repeatedly retweeted and reposted on Telegram various versions of Krasovsky’s lukewarm “apology,” none of which were directed at Ukrainians. I’m at fault before my friends, comrades, my RT colleagues, before all mothers who were horrified to hear those words... Political scientist Mikhail Shpir took aim not only at Krasovsky’s accusers but at the head of RT herself.

Dems Sound the Alarm Over GOP’s New ‘Stop the Steal’ Threats

With the threat of another GOP “Stop the Steal” movement in Pennsylvania looking increasingly real, the campaign arm for House Democrats is telling candidates to lawyer up. The DCCC also warned candidates who are lawyers not to rely on their own legal prowess. State election officials argued in court on Tuesday that the handwritten date should not be mandatory. Pennsylvania Republicans blocked a law that would have allowed mail-in votes to be counted early, and outgoing Democratic Gov. Trump has also urged GOP state lawmakers to repeal Act 77, which protects mail-in voting.
