Deep dives
End of Hollywood Writers' Strike
After nearly five months, the second-longest writer strike in Hollywood history appears to have come to an end. While specific details of the deal remain unknown until it is ratified and publicly released, guild leaders have called it exceptional, highlighting meaningful gains and protections for writers in all sectors. Studio executives involved in the negotiations have been quiet so far, suggesting major concessions may have been made. The deal, once approved, will allow writers to resume writing, but production may still be hindered as actors' unions and studios have not reached an agreement.
Accountability of US Aid to Ukraine
The US has offered Ukraine between $75 to $113 billion in aid since the beginning of the war. However, new concerns have been raised regarding the allocation of this funding. While a significant portion has been dedicated to military assistance, it has been revealed that over $25 billion has also gone towards non-military aid, supporting local farmers, small businesses, and first responders. Critics argue that these funds should be focused on American farmers and businesses instead. As support for the war effort wanes among Americans and concern over lack of oversight grows, President Biden is proposing an additional $24 billion in aid for Ukraine.
Overwhelmed Democrat Mayors at the Southern Border
Democrat mayors in Texas, particularly in El Paso, are expressing concern over the overwhelming number of immigrants crossing the southern border. El Paso is receiving around 2,000 immigrants daily, adding strain to an already strained situation. Many immigrants are being released and shelter capacities are being surpassed, leading to homelessness. The crisis reached a record high in August, with over 304,000 immigrants entering the country. Concerns about diseases among migrants have also been raised, with cases of tuberculosis reported. Bipartisan cooperation on the issue remains elusive.
