It’s customary, when diving into a series of festival dispatches, to include some prefatory, contextualizing stuff up top, which has always been tough for me. This year, though, reality has made it easy: by having me arrive at Sundance a day late thanks to Air Force Two speeding Trump off to the inauguration, and in Canada in the form of a Canadian border security official, one officer Nicoara. I’d remembered last year that Canadian customs is a little more severe than you’d expect: I think I answered about five minutes’ worth of questions about anything and everything relating to my […]...

Vice President Mike Pence‘s position on women’s issues— as governor of Indiana, he signed one of the nation’s toughest anti-abortion laws and, in Congress, he led the charge to strip Planned Parenthood of its federal funding for non-abortion-related women’s health care— appears to be as passionately conservative in the public arena as it is in the private one, with his wife Karen.
According to a profile of the second lady in The Washington Post this week, the Pences are extremely close (Rolling Stone had already reported that the vice president, 57, calls Karen, 60, “mother”), with a sweet innocence to their love story.

Donald Trump took his first flights on Marine One and Air Force One on Thursday, nearly one week after he was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.
After taking the Marine One helicopter to Joint Base Andrews, Trump boarded Air Force One to travel to the Gop’s annual policy retreat in Philadelphia, where he will deliver remarks. Trump notably did not stop at the top of the stairs to turn and wave for news cameras in the White House press pool, as presidents often do before departing on Air Force One.

Need to catch up? Check out last week’s Law & Order: Svu recap here.
Vice President Joe Biden swings by this week’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit to congratulate Olivia and the unit on their work freeing a man wrongly convicted of sexual assault. The veep is there to draw attention to the national rape-kit backlog — a worthy cause — but given the way the hour ends… perhaps it’s a good thing Biden hops on Air Force Two well before the episode gets underway, eh?
Read on as we review the major action in “Making a Rapist.”

In this season of college homecomings coinciding with Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Vice President Joe Biden and Law & Order: Svu star Mariska Hargitay have teamed up to tell victims of campus sexual assault that the powerful duo has got their backs.

Midway through Hour Three of this year’s Emmys, host Neil Patrick Harris joked: “No one in America is winning their office pool.” Except that wasn’t really a joke: The 2013 Emmy Awards featured seven big upsets in the major primetime awards. Longtime also-rans got their moment in the sun. Some low-key performances beat out showier and more popular contenders. And, well, the boys of Breaking Bad boys went home emptyhanded. (But don’t weep for them too much.) Below, we rank the upsets from “We should’ve seen that coming” to “We couldn’t have seen that coming even...

A Netflix binge is a common activity these days, and former president Bill Clinton is the first to admit he isn't above it ... especially when it comes to "House Of Cards."
While on "Charlie Rose" this week, "House Of Cards" star Kevin Spacey said Clinton told him that he watched all of Season 1 in three days.
"I love that show. It's so good," Clinton apparently told Spacey.
The lovefest got us thinking: what other shows are politicians watching?
Check out who's tuning in to the following eight TV shows.
1. "Modern Family"
Not only did Barack Obama admit that he, Michelle, Sasha and Malia watch the show, but 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he and his wife Ann are all about the ABC comedy.
"Ann loves 'Modern Family' too -- it's our favorite show to watch together," Romney told TV Guide.
Vice President Joe Biden is also a frequent "Modern Family" viewer.

Michelle Obama might be turning 48 next week, but her Twitter presence is brand new. The First Lady joined Twitter today, and now that she'll be tweeting we thought it'd be fun to predict some hypothetical tweets we could possibly look forward to.
Before you get too excited though, you should know the account was launched by President Obama’s campaign for re-election, so many of the tweets won’t even be from her. You'll know when she tweets herself because they'll be signed with the letters “Mo.”
It’s a bit disappointing that we won't get more of a personal account since Twitter cuts out the middle man, but who knows, maybe she’ll get into it soon. Remember when it was revealed she takes secret trips to Target or that she's not a fan of her daughters watching reality television ... there's no telling what could be a tweet.
