  2. Ivo Van Hove has probably become my favorite director of taking known pieces, reimagining them, and, in turn, transforming them into something new. Astounding every time.

  3. Tatiana Maslany only had to play one role, so she was somewhat underutilized in comparison, but was great on stage. The biggest downside to Tony Goldwyn playing a middle-aged husband having an affair is that I kept expecting to see Kerry Washington (who’s down the street).

    Wilkie was also required to list groups he had been a member of in the last 10 years. Wilkie did not list membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans or his chairmanship of the Confederate Memorial Committee.

    Wilkie gave two speeches lauding Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy in 2009 and one praising Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy in 1995. None were listed in his section on public remarks.

  16. Since this Sen. Sinema tweet has gotten so much attention, I thought I’d share this, from one of the first times I covered an event attended by then-Rep. Sinema — back in her first six months in the House.
