From my new piece re: Calley Means. I went to a private dinner the night of Kennedy's confirmation & Del Bigtree said this (below). It's such a clear acknowledgement of the role food activism played/plays in MAHA, smoothing out the rough edges of anti-vax activism. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

We've got a special guest on the podcast today. @claremalone.bsky.social & I discuss Charlie Kirk's assassination, the MAHA movement, the NYC mayoral race, Kamala Harris's book & more. We've also got a live show coming up w/ Nate Silver in NYC on Sept 29th. www.gdpolitics.com/p/clare-malo...

The influencer Jessica Reed Kraus gained popularity chronicling Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,’s Presidential campaign. During the second Trump Administration, she has continued to grow her audience—with political gossip and what she calls “quality conspiracy.”

For this week’s issue I profiled Jessica Reed Kraus, aka House Inhabit, the gossip blogger of MAHA/MAGA whose rise could only happen in the fractured media landscape of our strange times. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Just a reminder that I'm chatting with Nate and Galen in NYC on Sept 29. I'm sure there will be LOTS to discuss. bsky.app/profile/clar...

🎧 Talked with @ruthmarcus.bsky.social about her great Pam Bondi profile on this week's podcast! www.newyorker.com/podcast/poli...

🎧 I'm guest hosting our politics podcast and the first episode is out! I talked with Lis Smith about the Democrats' demographic and identity crisis. 🎧 www.newyorker.com/podcast/poli...

This is for a niche audience but I feel like there's a 30 percent chance that, given today's news, in about fifteen years,Taylor and Travis are just really involved Hawken sports parents. www.realtor.com/news/celebri...

🎤On Sept 29 @natesilver538.tweet.pub @galendruke.bsky.social and I are doing a live podcast show in NYC at the Comedy Cellar. Come!! Tix link below. (We did this in the spring and it was lots of fun, so we figured why not again?) www.gdpolitics.com/p/gd-politic...

“How much money does it all amount to? What’s the number?” David Kirkpatrick tallies it up. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

My sliding doors moment is almost taking a job at Elle in 2012. Close enough?

SpinCo cake pop?

If you live in NYC, particularly Brooklyn in/near Flatbush, please spread the word about Xavier Williams, a sixteen year old with autism who has been missing since Wednesday.

Yes, Bezos ended the Washington Post’s endorsement tradition & is changing the Opinion pages, but there’s more to what’s going on with him, and to what’s happening inside one of the country’s most important news organizations. My story: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Congrats to @michaelluo.bsky.social! So excited to read this book—a little more about it in this Times review. nytimes.com/2025/04/29/b...

I just listened to a gaggle of schoolchildren sing “Fifty Nifty United States” on a subway platform which is every bit as heartwarming as it sounds.

Ok, I have to admit, this is cool & has never happened to me: I got nominated for an award for three of my pieces on media from last year. A year when nothing at all was going on in media. Nothing at all. Anyhow, very flattering and thank you, Newhouse School! newhouse.syracuse.edu/news/newhous...

Read @chaykak.bsky.social with the definitive story of @bsky.app and its effort to build a better digital town square. @jay.bsky.team: “I think this self-styled tech-monarch thing is worth questioning. Do we want to live in that world?” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

@galendruke.bsky.social is hosting the first live taping of his podcast in NYC and I'm a guest along with @natesilver5380.bsky.social and Harry Enten. April 23 at 6pm! Tix on sale. www.gdpolitics.com/p/f-it-well-...

Amazing correction on WaPo writeup of Graydon Carter's book party.

Why is everyone all of a sudden saying “steel-manning”? This has to be a Bluesky thing.

I did a persons-of-interest piece on Kat a couple of years ago, when her job was still watching Tucker Carlson "so you don't have to." www.newyorker.com/news/annals-... bsky.app/profile/roll...

This almost reads like a Gawker item from the 2010s but...it is very much not www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nate is brutally honest here when he says hindsight being 20/20, he would have never started FiveThirtyEight as a standalone pod. It's interesting to cover this industry as it balkanizes and to have been at a site that was sort of wrong place/wrong time. bsky.app/profile/gale...

I hosted the New Yorker Radio Hour this week, and talked to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social about what it’s like covering the Trump White House this time around. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Ahead of Jon Ossoff’s "Rally for Our Republic" event tomorrow, @danielstrauss.bsky.social looks at how the Georgia senator is handling a new Trump era and girding for a tough reelection campaign: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/j...

Can you guess who the guest on Monday’s episode of GD POLITICS is?

Reply-all emails really having their moment in the sun lately.

My friend @galendruke.bsky.social has a new Substack post out with some fun pics/memories of the OG 538 years. Podding in Nate's office! I remember being shocked when someone at a party said they listened. A nice walk down memory lane. Subscribe! gdpolitics.com

538 closing is a very sad end to a place that was always misunderstood by the companies that owned it. There are lots of smart people there who should be snapped up. Reach out!

CBS Sunday Morning did a segment on @newyorker.com for the 100th anniversary featuring the person who knows all the magazine's gossip from the past 45 years, Bruce Diones. And there were also some other people in it, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcTr...

One thing I did not expect at this hearing is Kennedy showing questionable familiarity with how several aspects of HHS work.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, now questioning Kennedy, is old friends with the nominee, from law school. “You frighten people,” he says to Kennedy.

This is an important fact check. It demonstrates the ways that Kennedy tries to wriggle out of his many on the record statements. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

For the first time in modern American history, a skeptic of medical research could be responsible for safeguarding public health. Clare Malone reports on what could happen if Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is confirmed to head the H.H.S.

RFK Jr's confirmation hearing is today. Here's what he could do as the head of HHS. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Here is a rather vivid paragraph from Caroline Kennedy’s statement to senators, pleading with them not to confirm her cousin, Bobby Kennedy, as HHS secretary.

Psa if you live in nyc and either moved here post pandemic or forgot everything about how to ride the subway in the past few years: take your backpack off when you get on the train. (this is where I can bitch about parochial things like it’s 2018 or something, right?)

The TikTok ban was upheld today: I spent some time over the last couple of months with Frank McCourt, a billionaire who thinks buying it is a chance to rethink the whole Internet. www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

This piece covers the scope of the past year of TikTok drama. Bobby Kotick, whose name has been floated at various points as a potential bidder, told me Elon Musk makes a lot of sense as a U.S. TikTok owner:

This will almost certainly be my last post of the year, so fittingly, here is our list of the top-25 New Yorker stories of 2024. This is shameless self-promotion, but also just a great compilation of what the magazine does best. www.newyorker.com/culture/2024...

What’s the best brick and mortar toy store in nyc? (That doesn’t just sell wooden toys.)

At a very nice modern bar in nyc and there is nowhere to hang my purse. SEXIST.
