Political Funding for Black Lives Matter Politico reports today that some big Democratic donors plan to meet with Black Lives Matter leaders next week to discuss funding. That’s creating a bit of tension; some activists say that big political donations could co-opt their grassroots movement. And some donors say they’re worried about giving money to a group known for its aggressive tactics.

The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
