House lawmakers have voted to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, after he was thrown out of President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.

Ten Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the measure. Green himself voted "present," along with first-term Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Ala.

"Al Green's childish outburst exposed the chaos and dysfunction within the Democrat party since President Trump's overwhelming win in November and his success in office thus far. It is not surprising 198 Democrats refused to support Green's censure given their history of radical, inflammatory rhetoric fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome," House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital.

Before the formal censure could be read out to Green, however, Democrats upended House floor proceedings by gathering with the Texas Democrat and singing "We shall overcome." Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was forced to call the House into a recess after failing multiple times to quell the protest.

Decorum eroded further afterwards, with several Democrats including "Squad" member Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., engaging in a heated exchange with Republicans, including first-term Rep. Ryan MacKenzie, R-Pa.

The 10 Democrats who voted to censure Green are Reps. Ami Bera, D-Calif.; Ed Case, D-Hawaii; Jim Costa, D-Calif.; Laura Gillen, D-N.Y.; Jim Himes, D-Conn.; Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.; Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio; Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.; Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash.; and Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y.

Republicans raced to introduce competing resolutions to censure Green on Wednesday, with three separate texts being drafted within hours of each other.

Fox News Digital was told that Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., whose resolution got a vote on the House floor Thursday morning, had reached out to Johnson about a censure resolution immediately after Trump's speech ended on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the House Freedom Caucus had aimed to make good on a threat to censure any Democrats who protested Trump's speech, and Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, crafted his own censure resolution against Green that got more than 30 House GOP co-sponsors.

But Newhouse took to the House floor on Wednesday afternoon to deem his resolution "privileged," a maneuver forcing House leaders to take up a bill within two legislative days.

Newhouse told Fox News Digital after the vote, "President Trump’s address to Congress was not a debate or a forum; he was invited by the speaker to outline his agenda for the American people. The actions by my colleague from Texas broke the rules of decorum in the House, and he must be held accountable."

A bid by House Democrats to block the resolution from getting a vote failed on Wednesday. Green himself voted "present."

The 77-year-old Democrat was removed from Trump's joint address to Congress on Tuesday night after repeatedly disrupting the beginning of the president's speech.

He shouted, "You have no mandate!" at Trump as he touted Republican victories in the House, Senate and White House.

Johnson had Green removed by the U.S. Sergeant-at-Arms.

It was part of a larger issue with Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday night, with many engaging in both silent and vocal acts of protest against Trump. Democrats were also chided for not standing up to clap when Trump designated a 13-year-old boy an honorary Secret Service agent.

The House speaker publicly challenged Democrats to vote with Republicans in favor of the censure on Thursday.

"Despite my repeated warnings, he refused to cease his antics, and I was forced to remove him from the chamber," Johnson posted on X. "He deliberately violated House rules, and an expeditious vote of censure is an appropriate remedy. Any Democrat who is concerned about regaining the trust and respect of the American people should join House Republicans in this effort."

Green, who shook Newhouse's hand before speaking out during debate on his own censure, stood by his actions on Wednesday.

"I heard the speaker when he said that I should cease. I did not, and I did not with intentionality. It was not done out of a burst of emotion," Green said.

"I think that on some questions, questions of conscience, you have to be willing to suffer the consequences. And I have said I will. I will suffer whatever the consequences are, because I don't believe that in the richest country in the world, people should be without good healthcare."

Other recent lawmakers censured on the House floor have been Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., and now-Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

Ed Pilkington at The Guardian:

The football coach and the “Yale law guy” go head-to-head in New York City on Tuesday night, as two midwesterners with very different styles and vastly diverging messages slug it out over the future of the US.

Tim Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, faces the Republican senator from Ohio, JD Vance, in a vice-presidential debate that promises to be unusually significant in this white-hot election year. They will joust for 90 minutes under the moderation of CBS News as they seek to give their respective running mates – Kamala Harris and Donald Trump – a leg up to the White House. Walz has been prepping for the debate in Minneapolis with the US transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, masquerading as Vance. (Buttigieg may have been suffering deja vu – he posed as Mike Pence during Kamala Harris’s prep sessions ahead of the 2020 VP debate.) Vance has been holding mock debates with the Republican whip in the US House, Tom Emmer, standing in as Walz. Emmer is a fellow Minnesotan, so has the benefit of having studied Walz up close. The two running mates bring contrasting strengths to the gladiatorial ring. Vance is an experienced debater who will relish confrontation under the glare of the TV lights. “Look, he’s a Yale law guy,” Walz has said about his opponent. “He’ll come well prepared.”

Walz by contrast will be able to lean on skills learned in the school classroom. Walz spent 17 years as a public school teacher, so he knows how to think on his feet – and deal with a disruptive kid. “I expect to see a very heated debate,” Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign manager, told CBS News. One of the big questions of the night is likely to be whether Vance can redeem himself after a troubled start to his candidacy. Will he be able to get past all the “weirdness”, as Walz has framed it, and bring consistency to the messaging of an often chaotic Trump campaign? From awkward encounters with doughnut shop workers, to the ongoing furor around his “childless cat ladies” remark, Vance has been the subject of online mockery that has at times appeared to engulf him. He also seems to be stuck on the same culture war issues that consume Trump. “Vance does not seem to have drawn additional voters to the Trump ticket, as the controversies he gets into are exactly the same as those the former president gets into,” said Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Most egregiously, Vance has doubled down on the false and racist narrative that Haitian immigrants are eating family pets in Springfield, Ohio, despite categorical denials from local authorities. He recently confessed to CNN that he was willing to “create stories” if it meant that he attracted media attention. Such comments have sunk Vance underwater in the opinion of the voting public – his unfavorability rating is 11 points higher than his favorable, according to FiveThirtyEight. Walz by contrast is basking in the glow of a positive four-point gap between his favorability ratings, which poses him with a completely different set of challenges on debate night. He will need to parry Vance’s attempts to frame him as the misinformation candidate based on misrepresentations Walz made about his military record, defuse his rivals claims that he is dangerously liberal, and refuse to be knocked off track. “Walz just needs to get in and out of the debate without causing trouble for his ticket,” Burden said.

Tomorrow is the big VP debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Ohio Senator JD Vance (R) that is being originated by CBS that will air on numerous outlets, beginning at 9PM ET/8PM CT. The debate will be moderated by CBS Evening News host Norah O’Donnell and Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan.

@pirikal ( penny ) said: i knew what was coming, and i knew i couldn't stop it.

THE FIFTIETH HUNGER GAMES, the second quarter quell, won by haymitch abernathy of district twelve. luck shone down on him as district one’s medea florence let her axe fly, missing haymitch, weapon hitting the force field surrounding the arena. it bounced back, killing her and declaring haymitch that year’s victor. though he’d loathed to watch before, the past six months have brought in a morbid sort of curiosity that drew ed to the tapings of previous games. the gruesome struggle had made his stomach churn before. now, he just feels numb.

and here he stands in district one, in the company of none other than penelope king, winning her own games seven years after she’d watched her sister eliminated by her own weapon. he’d watched some of her game, saw the tears welling up with every life she took. he’d seen the girl she fought so hard to protect, too, the same terrified look he’d seen on nina’s face. he couldn’t watch it through. he knew what was in store for emmer mealie.

‘ i wonder if that’s how al felt, watching back home, ‘ he murmurs. he pictures young penelope, watching that axe bounce off of the force field, flying back towards her sister. he then thinks of his baby brother, surrounded by the rockbells and the curtis’ as they all watch the final day of the sixty-ninth hunger games with bated breath. his half-dead, blood soaked brother thrown up onto the big screen, every wince and wheeze broadcasted for all to see. is that how alphonse had felt in those final moments? had he expected the worst as he watched ed desperately try to keep himself alive and aware? had he crumpled when ed did, as sure of his brother’s demise as ezra had been?

ed is too afraid to ask him about the nearly three weeks of waiting. he suspects al, too, is afraid to mention any of it. and so, an impasse; a bizarre little balancing act as they both dance around it in their too-big house that has yet to start feeling like home.

newest victor blinks back into himself, suddenly too aware of his surroundings. ‘ . . . it scares me, knowing that he could still be reaped, ‘ he says at last. capitolites would love it, and he’s sure they went nuts for penny’s games as well; after all, who wouldn’t eat up a tragic family affair? dread coils in his chest at the thought of the roles being revered, the image of alphonse elric being called forward while all ed can do is sit on that stage and watch. he wouldn’t be able to take it.

but that hasn’t happened- it won’t. here, in the present, they still have each other. ‘ i’m so sorry for your loss. ‘ he feels a little stupid giving his condolences for a wound that’s nearly two decades old. even so, what he really wants to say ( fuck the games, fuck the capitol, fuck the people who find this shit entertaining ) isn’t exactly appropriate, especially not here. as awkward as he feels, though, he’s genuine all the same.

Speaker Mike Johnson wanted to criminalize sodomy & called gay marriage the “harbinger of chaos”

A series of early 2000s editorials written by the newly elected and virulently anti-LGBTQ+ Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) reveal his long history of targeting the LGBTQ+ community, as well as his beliefs that the mere existence of homosexuality should be criminalized. In a local Louisiana paper, Johnson wrote a 2003 op-ed blasting the Supreme Court for striking down anti-sodomy laws in the historic LGBTQ+ rights case of Lawrence v. Texas. Johnson said the ruling “dealt a devastating blow to fundamental American values and millennia of moral teaching.” He referred to gay sex as “same-sex deviate sexual intercourse” and said it was a public health concern due to “the exponential spread of STDs and HIV.” Related: Viciously anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Mike Johnson elected as new House Speaker He also worked to overturn the 2020 election in favor of Trump. He also said that gay people should not be a protected class because they “are capable of changing their abnormal lifestyles.” Get the Daily Brief The news you care about, reported on by the people who care about you: Subscribe to our Newsletter “By closing these bedroom doors,” he concluded, the Supreme Court has “opened Pandora’s box.” At the time, Johnson was working for the anti-LGBTQ+ hate group, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), known then as the Alliance Defense Fund. In another op-ed written in 2005, Johnson argued against non-discrimination policies for LGBTQ+ people, describing the “homosexual lifestyle” as “behavior patterns that are proven to be destructive to individuals, to families, and to society at large.” “Your race, creed and sex are what you are, while homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do,” he said. “This is a free country, but we don’t give special protections for every person’s bizarre choices.” In a third editorial written in 2004, Johnson argued against same-sex marriage, calling LGBTQ+ relationships “inherently unnatural” and said it could lead to letting people marry their pets. And in another, written in 2004, he called same-sex marriage “the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic.” House Republicans elected Johnson as speaker on Wednesday. He received three votes above the 217 threshold needed to assume the role. He was the fourth candidate for the position, following the failed nominations of Reps. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Tom Emmer (R-MN). Johnson previously served as a senior attorney and national spokesman for the ADF, filing lawsuits against same-sex marriage, same-sex adoption, and same-sex marital benefits. ADF also led a campaign against GLSEN’s annual anti-bullying Day of Silence. Johnson said the day’s anti-bullying message “cloaked” the “real message… that homosexuality is good for society.” While serving in the Louisiana state legislature from 2015 to 2017, Johnson introduced a so-called “religious freedom” bill to legalize discrimination against married same-sex couples. Last December, he introduced a federal version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law called the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act.” The bill threatens to cut federal funding to libraries, school districts, hospitals, government entities, or other organizations for “hosting or promoting any program, event, or literature involving sexually-oriented material,” including “any topic involving gender identity, gender dysphoria, transgenderism, sexual orientation, or related topics.” In a July hearing, Johnson — who serves as the chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, said that parents don’t have the right to provide their children with access to gender-affirming healthcare, something he falsely called a form of “abuse and physical harm,” even though every major American medical association has endorsed it as safe, effective, and essential to the well-being of trans youth.

I 90 anni di un grande regista: Giuliano Montaldo

Potete vederlo, il grande vecchio, al suo debutto cinematografico come attore in Achtung! Banditi!, di Carlo Lizzani, alla tenera età di 21 anni. Eh sì, perché Giuliano Montaldo ha festeggiato 90 primavere il 22 febbraio di quest’anno. Proseguì la carriera come sacerdote in La cieca di Sorrento; ancora con Lizzani in Ai margini della metropoli e Cronache di poveri amanti; Il momento più bello (1957) di Luciano Emmer; Gli sbandati (1955) di Francesco Maselli e L’assassino  (1961) di Elio Petri. Come aiuto-regista collaborò anche con Gillo Pontecorvo.

Il 1961 fu l’anno dell’esordio alla regia con Tiro al piccione (in questo video alcuni minuti del film), tratto dal libro di Giose Romanelli. Nel settembre del 2019, a più di cinquant’anni, il film è stato proiettato alla Mostra del Cinema di Venezia in versione restaurata. “Fu massacrato dalla critica” racconta l’autore “più per prese di posizione politiche che per demeriti artistici. Certo è che io ci rimasi proprio male. Ero giovane ed esordiente ma venivo da esperienze formative molto forti con Lizzani e Petri. Evidentemente, anche se eravamo ormai nei primi anni sessanta, ancora non era il momento per trattare argomenti come la Repubblica di Salò. La mia reazione fu quella di dire: Mollo tutto e torno a Genova a lavorare al porto”.

Fortunatamente per noi non lo fece e rimase fedele al cinema con Una bella grinta (del 1965 con Renato Salvatori e lo stesso Montaldo), storia quanto mai attuale di un piccolo imprenditore ambizioso che pur di raggiungere il successo non si fa scrupoli morali o sentimentali.

Del 1967 è Ad ogni costo, film divertente di atmosfera hollywoodiana, diverso dal Montaldo cui siamo più abituati. Un rocambolesco furto di gioielli con un cast d’eccezione: Edward J. Robinson, Janet Leigh, Klaus Kinski, Riccardo Cucciolla, Adolfo Celi.

Una variazione sul tema ne Gli intoccabili (1969), con Peter Falk, John Cassavetes, Gabriele Ferzetti, Salvo Randone, Florinda Bolkan, Luigi Pistilli: una rapina in un casinò con complicazioni mafiose. Inizia qui la sua collaborazione, praticamente ininterrotta, con Ennio Morricone.

Nel 1970 il regista ci offre il primo capolavoro della cosiddetta ‘Trilogia del potere’, Gott mit Uns (ovvero, il potere militare), che narra una storia realmente accaduta: il processo sommario seguito da condanna a morte per due disertori della Wehrmacht, nonostante la guerra fosse finita da cinque giorni.

Il secondo capitolo sarà Sacco e Vanzetti (1971), sul potere giudiziario, il terzo Giordano Bruno (magnifica la fotografia di Vittorio Storaro), sul potere religioso, entrambi con uno strepitoso Gian Maria Volonté.

In questo video (le cui immagini in parte sono tratte dal film, in parte sono foto d’epoca di Nicola Sacco e Bartolomeo Vanzetti) Joan Baez (autrice del testo della canzone) interpreta Here’s to You, Nicola and Bart di Morricone. Qui potete ascoltare il brano in un concerto diretto dal maestro a Venezia nel 2007.

Due curiosità: Tatti Sanguineti, in un documentario su Volonté, fa notare che nella scena dell’arringa, mentre il carrello della cinepresa si allontana, l’immagine si allarga fino a inquadrare la guardia alla quale scende una lacrima: una scena talmente realistica e toccante da commuovere anche gli attori stessi. Inoltre, questo è l’unico film in cui Volonté poté recitare nel suo dialetto natìo, il piemontese. Su questo film e sul tema della pena di morte vi consigliamo anche La morte legale: Giuliano Montaldo racconta la genesi del film Sacco e Vanzetti (prestabile nelle biblioteche dal primo febbraio 2021).

Ancora un tema forte, la lotta partigiana, per L’Agnese va a morire (1973): perdoniamo alla licenza creativa del regista di aver scelto una donna affascinante come Ingrid Thulin per interpretare la parte della protagonista che, nel libro di Renata Viganò, è tutt’altro che avvenente. Un film duro, come tutti quelli della trilogia e come del resto il romanzo stesso. Un cast davvero stellare: Stefano Satta Flores, Flavio Bucci, Michele Placido, Massimo Girotti, Aldo Reggiani, Ninetto Davoli, Johnny Dorelli e una giovanissima Eleonora Giorgi.

Di nuovo argomenti scottanti ne Gli occhiali d’oro (1987, tratto da Bassani), antisemitismo e omosessualità ai tempi del regime fascista, con Philippe Noiret, Stefania Sandrelli, Rupert Everett, Valeria Golino.

Da Flaiano Montaldo ha tratto Tempo di uccidere (1989), con Nicolas Cage e Giancarlo Giannini.

Non possiamo certo esaurire tutta l’attività artistica del maestro (come attore è del 2006 la partecipazione ne Il caimano di Moretti e del 2018 in Tutto quello che vuoi), ricordiamo le regie teatrali (Turandot nel 2017), le due produzioni per la Rai: lo sceneggiato Marco Polo (1982-83) e il film TV del 1978 Circuito chiuso con Flavio Bucci, vagamente ispirato a un racconto di Ray Bradbury. Una curiosità: l’idea meta-cinematografica di un intervento dei personaggi dello schermo nella vita reale è la stessa (le menti grandi pensano le stesse cose!) che troviamo in La rosa purpurea del Cairo, film di Woody Allen del 1985.

«Montaldo ha lavorato in tutti e cinque i continenti e con i più grandi nomi del panorama internazionale. E questo perché è prima di tutto un grande sperimentatore, un ‘pioniere’ che non ha mai avuto paura di essere il ‘primo’, uscendo molto spesso dagli schemi precostituiti, imboccando strade impervie o trattando temi scomodi e personaggi controversi.
