  07-10-2026 21:04 via article.wn.com
  A day after President Donald Trump said he would start paying for controversial taxpayer-funded ads with a campaign account, there’s no sign he plans to refund the millions of federal dollars already spent on them.

• The Latest: GOP fears grow that even $1 billion may not buy midterm victory

  07-10-2026 21:04 via article.wn.com

• Movie Review: \u2018The Social Reckoning\u2019 is classic Aaron Sorkin

  07-10-2026 21:04 via article.wn.com
  It is unfortunate for “The Social Reckoning” that “The Social Network” exists. The latter is a modern masterpiece. The former was kind of always doomed to exist in its shadow. Although Aaron Sorkin can be quite good directing his own work (see: “Molly’s Game” ), it’s hard not to fantasize about what might have been if David Fincher had returned to direct this latest Sorkin script. Would Fincher’s cynicism and Sorkin’s romanticism have o
