We've got to stop this. Democrats gotta step up (because the Epstein files are going to be heavily redacted).
My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about.

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president
The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

This is a crisis, and it's not contained to political journalism.
New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

Look, these people voted for Trump to brutalize people, and in particular me, my kid, and my family. They got what they wanted. Big FAFO energy.
I feel the same amount of sympathy for a factory owner regretting voting for Hitler after the 8th Air Force flattened his factory.

Last year, the owner of a sawmill in North Carolina voted for Trump. This year, he’s closed down his mill and blames the squeeze from Trump’s tariffs. On the Big Take podcast, Bloomberg economics reporter Shawn Donnan visits the “Old North State” to understand the ripple effect of tariffs

Drained two bottles of pinot with Argento in Santa Monica for a movie he wasn't sure he was going to make. I understood about 60% of what he said, but got 100% of what he had to say about Sergio Leone. One of my favorite interviews. Love him.

Summers shaped economic policy for Clinton and Obama. This is surely a big reason why the Dems are, per @brianbeutler.bsky.social, shrinking from the Epstein issue.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.
