Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

JB Pritzker: “Trump is a danger to the future of our country & our democracy — authoritarians don't go away. They get more powerful if you don't stand up to them early People said, you're alarmist. That's over the top — I don't think a year later anybody's saying that about what I said a year ago”

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right. Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on. The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose.
The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Hey Siri: What is the worst idea for a movie ever?
Covid contrarians tight with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are pitching Hollywood on an unlikely leading man: National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya.

Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate in the 2024 presidential campaign, is searching for investors to fund a movie that pokes fun at the pandemic response with a star based on Bhattacharya, who rose to prominence with his anti-lockdown manifesto and relentless tweets opposing social distancing.
