Elizabeth Warren Sounds 'Five-Alarm Antitrust Fire' On Paramount-Warner Bros Merger: Warns Trump Allies And Foreign Investors Are Backing The Deal

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is sounding the alarm over a potential merger between Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) and Warner Bros Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD), while urging regulators to ignore political pressure as they evaluate the deal.Mega Merger A ‘Five-Alarm’ Antitrust FireOn Monday, in a post on X, Warren flagged Paramount’s decision to launch a hostile all-cash bid to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, in a deal valued at $108.4 billion. According to Warren, this deal “would be a five-alarm antitrust fire,” given the implications of further consolidation in the entertainment industry on consumers, creators, and workers. See Also: Netflix Stock Tumbles: What’s Going On?Warren also highlighted that the deal was backed by allies of President Donald Trump, with Paramount Skydance’s CEO, David Ellison, being the son of Oracle Corp.

Marjorie Prime review – Cynthia Nixon steals sad, and spotty, sci-fi revival

Hayes Theater, New YorkThe return of the 2014 play, now starring June Squibb as an octogenarian using a tech program to speak to her dead husband, veers between poetry and clicheWhen Jordan Harrison’s play Marjorie Prime first premiered in 2014, its vision of synthetic sentience may have felt pretty novel. An old woman, Marjorie, talking to a hologram modeled after her long-dead husband perhaps seemed like a wild, far-fetched idea, that a computer program could somehow closely mimic the cadence of real conversation, could fake intimate knowledge of a person’s life. What a strange and alienating idea.Just 11 years later (and eight years after a little-seen film adaptation), Marjorie Prime plays far more credibly. We may not have the hologram technology down quite yet, but everything else in Harrison’s AI speculation now seems well within reason. Perhaps that’s why Second Stage Theater decided to revive the play in its Broadway house, an attempt at commenting, and capitalizing, on the excited buzz and nervous chatter surrounding recent technological advancements.

June Squibb, 96, Delivers Acting Tour de Force in ‘Marjorie Prime’

Joan MarcusFirst and most formidably brilliant, there is June Squibb. In Marjorie Prime (2nd Stage at the Hayes Theater), Squibb is conducting nothing less than a supreme acting masterclass, playing two variations of her character Marjorie: an 85-year-old woman nearing the end of life with both a flickering grip and memory of times past, alongside a no-BS sharpness about that past and the present that surrounds her.After Marjorie dies, Squibb—herself 96—plays Marjorie’s tech avatar, a so-called Prime (hence the title of the play), an AI, computer-programmed version of a human that lives on to ostensibly offer comfort and presence to loved ones after death. Finally, in Jordan Harrison’s play, in a softly lit afterlife, Marjorie is reunited with other loved ones, all now transformed into Primes enjoying some downtime in a heavenly realm that looks very familiar on Lee Jellinek’s very domestic set.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Trump Expected To Roll Out $12 Billion Farm Aid Program Today

Trump Expected To Roll Out $12 Billion Farm Aid Program Today

Trump Expected To Roll Out $12 Billion Farm Aid Program Today The Trump administration on Monday is planning to roll out a $12 billion farm aid package to help producers hurt by the trade war, which will include up to $11 billion in one-time payments to crop farmers under the Department of Agriculture's newly designed Farmer Bridge Assistance program. The rest of the aid will go to crops not covered by the FBA, Bloomberg reports, citing an anonymous White House official. Soybeans grow in a field in front of a barn sporting a large Trump sign in rural Ashland, Neb. (Nati Harnik / Associated Press)The aid comes as farmers express rising frustration over the slow pace of Chinese purchases, which Beijing instituted earlier this year in retaliation for Trump's tariffs. The package is expected to be announced around 2pm in Washington during an event featuring farmers who produce cotton, sorghum, soybean, rice, cattle, wheat and potato. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins will also be in attendance, the official said.Funds for the new program have been authorized under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, and will be distributed by the Farm Service Agency, according to the report. The farm aid is similar to what Trump offered during his first term, when the US and China were in a similar trade war, and answers concerns voiced by Republican lawmakers ahead of next year's midterm elections.Farmers have been dying on the vine as export markets for several crops have dried up - particularly soybeans - which saw purchases from China evaporate until a late October agreement between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, soybean producers have seen purchases gradually ramp up. Last month China made its biggest daily purchase of American soybeans in two years, with the total volume sold to the Asian nation amounting to 2.25 million tons - far less than what American farmers need to sell out of the 12 million tons of US soybeans that the Trump admin said China would purchase by the end of February which Bessent said last week that China is still on track to meet. .On Saturday, US Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer said that China has been complying with the terms of the trade agreement, and that Beijing is about "a third" of the way through its soybean purchase commitments for this growing season. In 2018 and 2019 Trump distributed $28 billion to farmers to make up for lost business over the tariff dispute at the time, however China began to shift purchases of soybeans to Brazil - which has had lasting consequences until now, when Beijing recently banned Brazilian soybean shipments. Trump touted the move as proof that they had won Beijing back over. Meanwhile, despite a runup in soybean futures over the past month over a resolution with China, crop prices are still close to 2020 lows, reducing what farmers take in while the cost of fertilizers is still climbing. The Trump admin first announced farm aid in March, when the USDA announced a plan to pay as much as $10 billion under the Emergency Commodity Assistance Program authorized by Congress in late 2024, designed to help mitigate the impact of increased costs and falling commodity prices.So far over $9 billion has been paid out as of Nov. 23. The bulk of the funds have gone to corn and soybean farmers. Tyler DurdenMon, 12/08/2025 - 09:40
