Four nights gone wrong: a small-town bag of cash, an all-night race against eviction, a kidnapping that reopens an old case, and a freelancer who treats other people’s tragedies as inventory.
A rookie cop’s first day in a sleepy island town goes sideways when his reckless partner’s bad call leaves a woman dead and a bag of cash up for grabs. Himesh Patel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt anchor a dark comedy where nearly everyone turns out to be one payday away from something ugly, and the body count climbs in proportion to the greed.
Lynette has one night to raise $25,000 before her family loses the only home they can afford in a city being priced out from under them. Vanessa Kirby drives a thriller that plays like a tour of American precarity, where every favor, scam, and humiliation gets measured against what a person owes her family — and herself.
When widowed Tom’s young son vanishes, the abduction echoes an old serial-killer case — the one his estranged father, a retired detective, put away years ago. Adam Scott and Robert De Niro turn a kidnapping thriller into a story about grief, damaged fathers and sons, and the fear that the worst things run in the family.
Lou Bloom parlays a police scanner and a cheap camcorder into a career filming LA’s bloodiest nights for a ratings-hungry news producer — then starts improving the footage. Jake Gyllenhaal’s hollow-eyed stringer is the logical endpoint of “if it bleeds, it leads”: an economy that pays for spectacle and never asks who got hurt producing it.
James Talarico sits down with The Breakfast Club to talk about his Texas Senate race against Ken Paxton, the primary against Jasmine Crockett, Black voters and businesses, and more.
This is exactly the kind of room more Democrats should walk into — and Talarico holds his own, talking faith, populism, and corruption in plain language instead of consultant-speak. Worth a watch if you want to understand why this race is suddenly competitive.
I’m endorsing Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate in Maine.
Troy is a fifth-generation logger from Allagash, a former Maine Senate President, and Bernie Sanders’ 2016 Maine political director — a guy who punched a clock for 80-hour weeks in the woods before spending twenty years in the legislature fighting for universal school meals, lower prescription drug prices, rural health care, and union jobs, all while winning a district that went for Trump three times.
His agenda is a contract with working Mainers: stop the CMP rate hikes, free child care for working families, a public option, a Department of Housing Affordability, and stopping Wall Street from buying up Maine. It’s exactly the politics to retire Susan Collins once and for all.
I’m proud to endorse Troy Jackson. Please donate, volunteer, and spread the word before November 3.
I’m endorsing Gina Hinojosa for Governor of Texas.
Gina is a state representative, civil rights and union lawyer, former Austin ISD school board president, and a Rio Grande Valley native who got into politics the way more people should: they tried to close her son’s school, so she ran, won, and kept it open.
Her agenda is exactly right for Texas: save public schools by ending the voucher scam, the STAAR test, and state takeovers, pay teachers what they deserve, send every household a $1,500 refund from the hoarded Rainy Day Fund, make data centers pay their own way instead of sticking Texans with the bill, stop private equity from buying up homes, and lower healthcare costs in the state with the most uninsured kids in the country.
After more than a decade of Greg Abbott running Texas for his billionaire donors, the polls show a single-digit race. Texans finally have a real shot at a governor who works for them.
I’m proud to endorse Gina Hinojosa. Please donate, volunteer, and spread the word before November 3.
