Quietly ambitious. My work has taken me across continents, into boardrooms, and onto runways, but my favorite moments are the ones away from the spotlight. I value elegance, intellect, and a shared taste for the extraordinary. I believe in conversations.
Trump brags about billions in tariff cash, until the courts say you might have to give it all back.

There is magic in the view from a rooftop. The waterfront sparkles. The city looks lovelier. The drinks seem dreamier. And it doesn’t have to be a skyscraper

When the system fails to protect you at 15, it has no business punishing you for surviving.
Alexis Martin, a prominent antitrafficking activist, was ordered released from prison Monday after pleading guilty to lesser charges for her role in the death of her alleged abuser when she was 15.

The recent discussion of DOJ “burn bags” should be a warning to everyone calling for the release of the Epstein files: They may no longer exist. This is, after all, a very ham-fisted cover-up.

Fox News scoffed that Andry Hernandez was “just a gay barber” when Trump sent him to a torture prison. Now, Fox ignores reporting that he was sexually assaulted there.

In Trump math, 1,500% off means the pharmacy owes you change.
In Trump's addled brain drug companies are now paying you to take their product. That's what a 1,500% cut in prices means. Anything above 100% is them paying you.

When politicians choose their voters, democracy’s already on life support.
Texas is leading the charge on gerrymandering, a move that could do great damage to voters of color. With recent SCOTUS rulings, the high court seems set to further empower the GOP’s power grab with minority voters paying the price, writes @billycorriher.bsky.social.

If politics is a rock band, the left still needs its lead guitarist.
We need a Steve Miller for the left.

Someone who’ll turn the Democratic Party into a big ol’ jetliner that’ll fly like an eagle, take the money and run. Abracadabra, just like that.

When even the numbers start lying, you know the truth’s in witness protection.
For months, people have been asking me whether I still trusted gov’t data. My answer was always the same: The stats agencies faced longstanding challenges, some of which Trump was making worse. But there was no sign of political meddling.
I can’t say that anymore.
