After the tragedy in Minnesota yesterday, I ask a very simple question: What are we OK with?
I truly believe this is worth your time.
Also, don’t argue in the comments. Don’t even read them.
Steve Bannon insists that Donald Trump will be president again for a third term in 2028—and that America needs him to.
Mr Bannon, one of the chief architects of the MAGA movement, spoke to Zanny Minton Beddoes, our editor-in-chief, and Ed Carr, our deputy editor, in Washington, DC.
At The Economist, we believe it is important to engage seriously with people whose ideas challenge our own. The ideas Mr Bannon champions are gaining traction across America and beyond.

Wes Anderson on Christopher Nolan:
“I enjoy Chris Nolan's work in general, but I watched the Blu-Ray of The Dark Knight and it has a thing where you can go to any scene in the movie and go to the making of that. There's nothing that has ever made me feel less like a professional than watching Chris Nolan's group at work. The remote-control miniature cars. Just every technique. The rehearsal of flipping the semi-trailer end over end in the middle of the desert before they blow it up in Chicago... There's one scene where a guy jumps off the top of a skyscraper — they rehearse the jump but for the actual thing they did it CG. 'But for the rehearsal you did jump off the building?' 'We have it as a reference.' Wow. Chris Nolan is quite great. My favourite is Memento, but I'd like to learn how to do these things.”
Oppenheimer is Christopher Nolan’s best film to date & I no longer have any hesitation making that statement. The way in which Nolan punctuates a near-flawless 3 hour film really closes the debate for me. Nolan is the master of great endings- none better than Oppenheimer.
