Trump Again Promises “100% Tariff” On Movies Made Outside America, Attacks “Weak” Gavin Newsom In Truth Social Tirade In a barrage on Truth Social, Donald Trump is back on attacking Gavin Newsom and promising big tariffs on overseas movies -- really big tariffs.

Oh, lawd, not •again•... (And of course, this broad tax on foreign cinema, if it happens, won't improve the quality of US-made content one iota. But it will sure drive moviegoers away.

L.A. classical station KUSC slashes staff after federal funding cuts to public radio The USC-owned station, known as Classical California, lost $1.1 million that was previously allocated by the Corp. for Public Broadcasting.

I've always thought that, regardless of our politics, what Leonard Bernstein called 'serious music' always had all of us on the same page. That includes classical music radio. If only the Trump administration could get that.

Live-Action Akira Film Rights Revert From Warner Back to Kodansha Plans first reported in 2002 with writers, directors behind Blade, Rogue One, Iron Man, Menace II Society, Harry Potter, Thor: Ragnarok developing on & off

Let's face it, Kodansha: It's better to just let Otomo-sensei's animation be the one adaptation of his manga. He did it best — let's just leave it at that.

This GOP Bill, Straight Out Of Project 2025, Would Make Pornography A Federal Crime One critic said Republican Sen. Mike Lee's bill's definition of “obscenity” is so broad that "Game of Thrones" would not be protected by the First Amendment.

It's too broad and will most certainly face court challenges, so why are you bothering?

Cruelty is clearly the point.

For these seniors, DOGE's affordable housing pause means suffering longer without AC The Trump administration froze funding for a program to upgrade aging low-income housing and make it energy efficient. The move threatens hundreds of projects around the country.

I am trying to see myself in subsidized senior housing years from now... This is definitely not the situation I want to see. It certainly does not convey any sort of 'greatness.' Cruelty, more like.
