Honestly, I’ve got mixed feelings. A 100% tariff on foreign-made films sounds tough, but in today’s global industry, that line is blurry. A lot of these films are U.S.-funded and globally produced. Moves like this could hurt us more than help.

Building back America's strength isn't just about words or deals behind closed doors. It's about showing our allies and the world that we still stand for something real. Every time we hesitate or fumble, others are more than ready to fill the gap.
Sullivan: "When you see the car start careening toward the cliff, you've gotta say something. What I've seen in less than 100 days is terrible damage to America's credibility and trust with our allies & terrible damage to America's appeal... most of all what I've seen is China reaping the benefits."

Trump’s 145% tariff on China was meant to protect U.S. manufacturing, but like Paul Krugman said, “Tariffs are taxes, and those taxes ultimately fall on consumers.” Even if he’s planning to cut them now, it’s still unclear how much it’ll actually help — but hey, it’s a start.

A deadly E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce has spread across 15 states, but the FDA chose not to make it public. One person has died and at least 88 others have gotten sick, including a 9-year-old boy who almost died from kidney failure.

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘
