NPR announced Thursday it recevied a $113M windfall from two donors — months after Congress stripped federal funding to public media. One anonymous donor gave $33M. Connie Ballmer gave $80M, the largest single gift for a living donor in NPR's history. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Compare Don Lemon's decision: “I'm not interested in dressing up in a tuxedo, sipping champagne, and pretending everything is normal..." with Dylan Byers, "very exclusive party ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Association" with its "bipartisan comity."

News orgs are not only defending their work in court amid legal threats from Trump and others, but in the court of public opinion. “Letting the journalism speak for itself is an approach from a bygone era,” says the Times’ Patrick Healy. www.thewrap.com/trump-nyt-ws...

Great @sharonwaxman.bsky.social column on Trump’s ugly personal attacks on journalists, with thoughts from @katiecouric.bsky.social and @sulliview.bsky.social “They should not be tolerating this level of bullying and demeaning and insulting language,” says Couric www.thewrap.com/trump-journa...

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...

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.

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...
