Bad Lieutenant (1992) & Uncut Gems (2019) - treat them as one cinematic universe of degenerate gamblers.
You can make it a triple feature if you want to add in The Gambler (1974).

The holdup in passing the Senate organizing resolution doesn't just delay the handoff of cmte chairs from R's to D's. It also means new members, including Kansas freshman @RogerMarshallMD, don't have any cmte assignments yet.
Marshall tweeted about a Zoom meeting with Vilsack and has clearly been operating under the assumption that he'll get a seat on Senate Ag (a big part of his campaign). But we don't actually know that until the organizing resolution passes.

Cory Bliss, who ran Pat Roberts' 2014 campaign, quoted here: “If you want to spend all your time going on Fox and be[ing] an asshole, there’s never been a better time to serve.“
Bliss continues: “But if you want to spend all your time being thoughtful and getting shit done, there’s never been a worse time to serve.”
Both Blunt and Moran, who are generally known for being thoughtful and getting stuff done but are also up in 2022, voted to table Trump's impeachment today. kansascity.com/news/politics-…
