It is a dark day for freedom of the press. Paramount’s decision to settle with Trump will only embolden him to continue his attack on the media. Trump is undermining our democracy and moving us towards authoritarianism, and the billionaires are helping him do it.

Many liberals and progressives understand the Supreme Court to be a bastion of rights and a bulwark against the excesses of an oppressive majority. But, for most of its history outside the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has been a bastion of oligarchy and white supremacy. This is its normal.

The Accountant 2 is nowhere near as fun - or even as fun to laugh at - as the first one, which is mediocre at best. It was the toughest watch I’ve had at the theaters so far this year- which is about the average tough for the YTD.

Given that our governor is an unoriginal, uncaring ghoul who is also trying to kiss the administration's ass for federal disaster funds, I'd be SHOCKED if Arkansas doesn't jump on this very soon as well.
