Sometime this afternoon, the U.SA. Senate will vote on whether to impeach President Donald Trump, who already has been impeached by the House of Representatives. Will the Senate break from its pattern of voting mostly along party lines, and hold the President accountable for his actions? No. But it’s history in the making anyway, so watch it where you can find it. The expected acquittal is expected to take place at 4 p.m. ET. Then watch to see if the proposal for officially censuring President Trump, a sort of lesser punishment and official admonishment, makes it to the Senate floor.

When this movie came out in 1969, it was rated X. Later on, without removing anything from the film, it was rated R. Times changed. Movies did, too. But this movie, with great and brave performances from both Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, has remained the same: a fabulous, vulnerable, heartbreaking character study. Harry Nilsson’s recording of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talking” became a hit song from the movie – although Nilsson’s own composition, “I Guess the Lord Most Live in New York City,” was a rejected possible contribution. One other fun fact: The movie’s most famous line, Hoffman’s “I’m walking’ here!,” was an ad lib.
