Ron Perelman–Duff, Barkin and Time to Find New Timelines

Ron Perelman. A fixture in New York society. Gorgeous wives. Patricia Duff. Ellen Barkin. Didn’t like any of them having a timeline to do their stuff–whether active political work with Al Gore and the Democratic Party (this, with Duff) or any timeline to get back into movie projects (this, with Ellen Barkin who, Lew Wasserman, MCA head, once told me was the hottest actress he’d ever seen–this, after her scenes with Al Pacino in Sea of Love. This month she stars in the repertory cast of Ocean’s Eleven or Thirteen.)

Well, true to form, Ron is holding a pricey fundraiser for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on June 4. Hoyer’s the man who undermined, along with some other Dems, the attempt to pass a funding bill with a timeline for withdrawal. On June 4, head to 36 East 63rd to protest *peacefully* outside out of Perelman’s townhouse….Tell Hoyer that it is time to stand with his Caucus– and end this war and occupation.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read. It’s just one of many examples of incisive, deeply-reported journalism we publish—journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media. For nearly 160 years, The Nation has spoken truth to power and shone a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

In a critical election year as well as a time of media austerity, independent journalism needs your continued support. The best way to do this is with a recurring donation. This month, we are asking readers like you who value truth and democracy to step up and support The Nation with a monthly contribution. We call these monthly donors Sustainers, a small but mighty group of supporters who ensure our team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers have the resources they need to report on breaking news, investigative feature stories that often take weeks or months to report, and much more.

There’s a lot to talk about in the coming months, from the presidential election and Supreme Court battles to the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll cover all these issues and more, but this is only made possible with support from sustaining donors. Donate today—any amount you can spare each month is appreciated, even just the price of a cup of coffee.

The Nation does not bow to the interests of a corporate owner or advertisers—we answer only to readers like you who make our work possible. Set up a recurring donation today and ensure we can continue to hold the powerful accountable.

Thank you for your generosity.
