Summary

President Trump plans to unveil his economy-killing tariffs in a splashy Rose Garden event fit for reality television, and he wants us to believe that climate change is going to be good for the world, while his administration is snatching people off the street and sending them to a prison in El Salvador without due process. Oscar nominee Michelle Williams recites a line from a poem that she keeps close to her heart when she’s working, and Stephen Colbert responds in kind with a few lines from one of his favorite works. Watch Michelle Williams in her new show, “Dying For Sex” premiering this Friday on Hulu.
