The legislators saying a deal would concentrate too much box office power in one company. And a judge made public a letter from a former Uber employee which accuses former executives of espionage and bribery. Stitch Fix is getting ready for its first earnings report since going public. We've also got earnings on tap from BlackBerry and Micron.
