...and for a true NYC all-star cast that included Michael Cyril Creighton, Billy Eichner, David Greenspan, Jeff Hiller, Cory Michael Smith, Ben Stiller, Ali Stroker, David Turner, and Michael Urie. The Normal Heart is a great American play, of its time and ahead of it. Bravo to all.

For NYC theater folks: It's no secret that Tony and Larry Kramer had a somewhat volatile relationship over the years, so I was really touched that Tony decided to direct a 40th(-ish) anniversary benefit reading of The Normal Heart at the Public last night. A true labor of love for him... .>

And by the way, if by a convergence of miracles Trump is not only impeached but removed, as the old meme says, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I'm touched by the faith that this will remind voters what Democrats stand for but I believe there will be many effective, NON-symbolic ways to do that.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 28(source)

How is it a win when the final headline is "Impeachment Fails in Senate"? "At least we tried, guys" is not nearly as important as the many concrete things that a Democratic House &/or Senate can actually accomplish.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 28(source)

There is a lot that a Democratic House can do to prevent harm, to do actual good, and to at least attempt to hold people publicly accountable. With a Democratic Senate, even more. Focusing on an action that would amount to a 3-day news cycle ending in a GOP win is the "It's Mueller time!" of 2026.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 28(source)

I don't know why so many of you are on about "But Jeffries doesn't support prioritizing impeachment!" What if he did? Game that one out for me in terms of its actual, non-symbolic effect.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 28(source)

This is remarkable in its "Nope, we're not doing this again" lighthearted dismissiveness. Between this and Hakeem Jeffries's statement that Karoline Leavitt can "get lost," today felt like a pivot to a flat refusal to cede even a single day of the news cycle to Trump's manifest bullshit.

Leavitt: "The president's calm in the face of chaos while yet another individual was trying to take his life was really remarkable to witness, and it's something I will never forget. President Trump is fearless. He is willing to put his own life on the line."

Always a good feeling when your early call turns out to be right. "The name may still be unfamiliar to the general public, but..." --From a February 1979 NYT profile of Meryl Streep

Lead to a NYT Magazine piece by Mel Gussow:
Meryl Streep, Meryl Streep, Meryl Streep. The name may still be unfamiliar to the general public, but soon it should echo from coast to coast, like those classic trains, the Super Chief and the Twentieth Century Limited, rocketing over their tracks. In glass-towered talent agencies, Hollywood studios, and offices of Broadway producers — wherever deals are made and careers launched — people in the know are asking for Streep, more Streep. That's Streep as in sweep.

No powerful person in my lifetime has degraded American discourse and vilified, dehumanized and demonized those who disagree with him more than Donald Trump. He and his sycophants are blaming the left for the world they themselves built, and their complaints should not be given a moment's credence.

There's a really simple answer to this, and it's "In fact, you are a rapist. You were found legally liable for rape." Is there not one journalist who will say this to him?

DOJ writes counsel for plaintiff in the ballroom lawsuit demanding end to the suit: “Put simply, your lawsuit puts the lives of the President, his family, and his staff at grave risk.” Says DOJ will move to dismiss the suit in light of the WHCD unless plaintiff drops suit by 9am Monday.

RE: National Trust for Historic Preservation v. National Park Service, No. 26-5101 (D.D.C.)
Dear Mr. Craig:
Last night, there was another attempt on President Trump's life. This time, the shooter targeted President Trump at the Washington Hilton, the only ballroom in Washington, D.C. suitable to host large gatherings for the President, where another shooter targeted President Reagan 45 years ago. As history proves, that venue is demonstrably unsafe for the President of the United States because its size presents extraordinary security challenges for the Secret Service.
Yesterday's assassination attempt on President Trump proves, yet again, that the White House ballroom is essential for the safety and security of the President, his family, his cabinet, and his staff. When the White House ballroom is complete, President Trump and his successors will no longer need to venture beyond the safety of the White House perimeter to attend large gatherings at the Washington Hilton ballroom. The White House ballroom will ensure the safety and security of the President for decades to come and prevent future assassination attempts on the President at the Washington Hilton.
Put simply, your lawsuit puts the lives of the President, his family, and his staff at grave risk. I hope yesterday's narrow miss will help you finally realize the folly of a lawsuit that literally serves no purpose except to stop President Trump no matter the cost.
Enough is enough. Your client should voluntarily dismiss this frivolous lawsuit today in light of last night's assassination attempt on President Trump. If your client does not dismiss the lawsuit by 9:00 AM on Monday, the government will move to dissolve the injunction and dismiss the case in light of last night's extraordinary events. We will state your position as opposed if we do not hear back from you by 9:00 AM on Monday.
