If you want to understand Trump & the puzzling moves he's making re: Epstein, read @maggieNYT's definitive biography "Confidence Man." This, from the prologue, is like a Rosetta Stone for understanding Trump's seemingly chaotic or unpredictable behavior. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/668293/c…

Was the canceling of Colbert political? Or was it about the spiraling business of broadcast TV in the streaming era? Great details on the late night beat from @koblin nytimes.com/2025/07/18/bus…
The mounting @Netanyahu disdain at his high school alma mater Cheltenham became clear over the weekend on an alumni Facebook group. I got permission from members to quote their posts + I got other material. I’m a proud alum & hope I did the story justice nytimes.com/2025/07/18/us/…

Bibi @Netanyahu went to a public high school in the Philly burbs. Students & alumni at @CheltenhamSD are calling for his photo to be removed from their wall of fame. “I kind of see this guy as a war criminal these days, & it’s kind of sad," said one alum nytimes.com/2025/07/18/us/…
Since this is back in the news: Here's the letter Ed Martin sent in February to Jeff Zients asking if Biden "was aware of the breadth of the pardons & the unprecedented preemptive nature." Zients didn't respond to the letter, which was cast an informal request, not a subpoena.
