My dispatch from Mamdani’s election night bash in Brooklyn www.thewrap.com/jubilation-a...

Great question from Karen at yesterday’s NY Press Club event. This was @thewrap.com piece I mentioned on stage www.thewrap.com/nbc-news-div...

My colleagues Tom Lowry & @calderone.bsky.social dug into the querulous bid by DrPatSoonShiong to raise $500 million to IPO the Los Angeles Times, bleeding $50 mill last year. As he demonstrates, the numbers don't add up, leading to the question: who would buy in? www.thewrap.com/la-times-pat...

One of the biggest problems facing Mikie Sherrill’s bid for governor may have nothing to do with Mikie Sherrill and everything to do with a certain pundit-class miasma about the supposed unelectability of women. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/o...

Looking at Zohran Mamdani's media strategy this past year, from a viral video speaking to Trump voters to speaking to Trump on Fox News, the NYC mayoral frontrunner has been remarkably consistent in hammering home his affordability message. My @thewrap.com column: www.thewrap.com/zohran-mamda...

NBC News’ layoffs today include eliminating “teams dedicated to covering issues affecting Black, Asian American, Latino and LGBTQ+ groups.” www.thewrap.com/nbc-news-lay...

It sure looks like the Voting Rights Act is doomed www.vox.com/politics/464...

The Pentagon press corps has worked in the building since it opened during the second World War. Today, they're gone. www.thewrap.com/pete-hegseth...

“We always knew what a great responsibility we had,” says one Pentagon reporter as major news orgs reject Hegseth's new press policy and are expected to exit the building. My first piece for @thewrap.com up now: www.thewrap.com/pete-hegseth...

Excited to be starting next week... I'll be editing and writing, so send tips!

[email protected] will cap this year's Fall Journalism Conference, where she'll talk to @calderone.bsky.social on all these journalism! Be there for this fantastic event on Nov. 1! Tickets now available:

It's true... I’ve been honored to run the Hive for the last several years, working with some of the best in the business. I'm immensely proud of the work we did through two presidential elections and a pandemic, and amid the persistent news cycle churn—will be rooting for the VF team going forward.

I wrote about Gov Pritzker and the Texas redistricting fight www.vanityfair.com/news/story/h...

We have an exclusive piece from Bernice King as the government releases MLK assassination files www.vanityfair.com/news/story/b...

"I wondered which border I had crossed without my knowledge" -- Rumeysa Ozturk, imprisoned for writing an op-ed in the Tufts University student newspaper. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

For the first time since she was freed from an immigration prison, Rümeysa Öztürk speaks. And she does so by ... writing: "Writing is the heart of freedom of expression. Unbelievably, this single opinion piece, published in our student newspaper, would lead to my arrest and detention."

In a powerful first-person account, Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk opens up for the first time about her shocking arrest and 45 days in an ICE detention center. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

Former Obama speechwriter David Litt has some ideas about what Democrats can learn from the manosphere.

Here’s my takedown of the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship non-ruling: Amy Coney Barrett takes balkanized, neo-Confederate approach where you’re only protected in areas where states or individual plaintiffs can sue—and nowhere else. No way to run a railroad, let alone a nation of laws.

Make no mistake: In all but nullifying nationwide, “universal” injunctions in these cases, where a uniform rule of law for birthright citizenship is gravely needed, the Supreme Court chose chaos. Yes, the right still exists. But a lot of needless confusion, fear, and litigation lie ahead.

In an exclusive interview with VF, Wall Street tech analyst Dan Ives talks Musk’s return to Tesla, the AI boom, and the market impact of the Israel-Iran conflict: “The market has gotten used to chaos and uncertainty.”

“For the first time, it became clear that young women today will have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers,” @kamalaharris.com tells @katieherchenroeder.bsky.social on Dobbs anniversary. “But even in the face of that loss, we keep fighting.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/k...

JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and others say strikes on Iran aren’t meant to bring down the country’s leaders. But on Truth Social, Trump appears to say otherwise.

Sioux City Dispatch: Eric Lutz catches up with Democratic Senate hopeful @jdscholten.bsky.social in the bullpen www.vanityfair.com/news/story/j...

Elon keeps stiffing people. She keeps suing him. Really fun interview with Shannon Liss-Riordan, the renowned labor lawyer, on how she's carving out a subspecialty in "billionaire justice." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/s...

On Thursday, the LA Dodgers issued a statement on social media saying that ICE agents had “requested permission to access the parking lots” at Dodger Stadium, but “were denied entry to the grounds by the organization.”

Shannon Liss-Riordan is one of the country’s most renowned labor lawyers. Lately, she’s also developed a specialty in “billionaire justice”––and she has her sights set on Elon Musk.

What is Curtis Yarvin planning for the US Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale? Hint: It’s not a retrospective of Jon McNaughton’s portraits of bloody, triumphant, muscly Trump. It’s somehow crazier.

If you're not placing today's ruling against gender-affirming care for trans youth in the context of John Roberts' lifelong campaign to suck the life out of the Fourteenth Amendment, and equality for actual humans more broadly, you're doing it wrong. Here, for @vanityfair.com, I attempt to do that.

Worth the read.

The 250th Army anniversary military parade-slash-79th birthday celebration was the kind of patriotic (and self-promotional) spectacle that Donald Trump had longed for since early in his first administration. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

A light read from me on this dreary June day: For the next issue of @vanityfair.com, I have a deeper exploration of all the ways John Roberts helped create the anti-constitutional monster that has been devouring Washington since January. Necessarily, the story begins with Citizens United.

RFK Jr.’s got bad news for anyone who likes living.

I wrote about how Trump is using authoritarianism to distract from all of his losses last week www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

"I think that people have managed to figure out and separate the signal from the noise at this point," Maggie Haberman tells @nataliekorach.bsky.social of differences in media coverage of Trump 1.0 and 2.0. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

"It’s Shakespearean. It is tragicomic. And the other aspect of this, which is where my curiosity continues, is that this is fundamentally a story about power." Tom Kludt checks in with @pablo.show on covering the Bill Belichick-Jordan Hudson saga www.vanityfair.com/news/story/b...
