Force the nation's scientists to invent time-travel, so that I can go back and greenlight Agnès Varda's abandoned CLÉO DE 5 À 7 as a Madonna vehicle do-over.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

In perfectly Verhoevian fashion, each GM has at least one moment in which their impulse is horribly wrong, but several others in which they are sublimely right, which all adds up to as perfect a list as one could ask for given the unwieldy task at hand.
Pour yourself a glass of champagne, or holy water, and settle in for the most epic Main Feed Draft of the year!

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

This is unfortunately reminiscent of early camps in Nazi Germany, which were also widely lauded by politicians (they were by no means a secret), treated as tourist curiosities, and featured in glossy magazine spreads. It’s unfathomable to me how so many people can take such joy in human suffering.

The Times covered “left wing antisemitism” relentlessly for a year from campus protests to the presidential election to the Mamdani win in NYC, and then the president used an anti-Jewish slur in a public speech and they didn’t even mention it.
the trump "shylock" gaffe is a reminder that his brain is melting and he is personally largely incompetent and flailing. He just stepped on a giant rake in the middle of what should have been an amazing news cycle for him, in such a way even friendly-to-Trump orgs like ADL have to condemn him

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Newsom has denounced what he calls the GOP’s “weaponization” of trans issues, but this evidently hasn’t stopped him from using it as a tool himself.
