Bedoya: There’s the first bidding war: how much are you going to give Warner Bros. Discovery? The second bidding war is: what are you going to give Trump?
Every one of these mergers is a chance for Trump to get his hooks into these networks, and their ability to make fun of him or criticize him.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.
Nothing trickled down.

I would take the tone policing arguments more seriously if I thought there was any possibility that a shift in tone would resolve their concerns.
Realistically, if activists stopped saying “from the river to the sea” tomorrow, by next week we’d be hearing complaints about something else.

My position on the debate on "From the River to the Sea" is that it should start with the party that is actually advancing this vision not only through chants but also through genocide and ethnic cleansing - the current Israeli government.
