“If Trump is allowed to get away with obstructing Congress by blocking ...” — Jessica Tarlov Quote

If Trump is allowed to get away with obstructing Congress by blocking testimony and refusing to turn over all documents in impeachment proceedings, we can look forward to future Republican and Democratic presidents doing the same thing.

The more time and energy House Democrats spend attacking each other, the less able they will be to attack President Trump and other Republicans and the harmful policies backed by the GOP.

The Constitution created a system of checks and balances designed to prevent the president from becoming a king or a dictator. Our founders had just fought the Revolutionary War to create a democracy - not to simply replace a British king with an American monarch.

I don't want to feel like I felt on election night in 2016 ever again, which was completely shell-shocked by the result.

One day, right after my mastectomy, I went for a walk in Central Park, and there was this mob of people blocking the road. I thought, 'Oh, great, now I'm stuck!' but then I suddenly realized that it was a breast cancer walk.

I do extensive storyboards so people can get a sense of what we're doing, and what the attitude and tone is. I work a lot with the actors. I like to go to sets or locations with them before shooting so that they know what they'll be doing on the day. I have found actors really do like to know about blocking, etc., before the shoot day comes.

We've always had the sensibility that you work on the set, and you structure it, much like a play, where once you've got the lines down and blocking right, you freeze it, and then you go out and do what you're doing night after night. You want to structure something that has form and that builds the right dynamic from start to finish.

If you smash a city when you're trying to capture it, you actually end up providing the perfect terrain for the defenders while blocking the access for your own armoured vehicles.
