Our December issue—and our third to have @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social grace the cover—is here. This one has @thomasbirm.bsky.social with an investigation into Israel's big real estate mogul, Lovia Gyarkye on Luca Guadagnino’s new campus film, Jonathan Lethem on Franz Kafka and his dog, and much more.

The more damning, and likely more accurate, moral of this set piece of the Nuzzi affair is that this was, and remains, the business model of Olivia Nuzzi’s public career—together with the bloated and corrupt enterprise of Beltway journalism writ large.
The Nuzzi Siege of Power
The journalist’s rise and fall and rise again looks like a performance of tabloid drama. But really, it’s Beltway access reporting taken to its natural extreme.

My new piece @thenation.com "It’s easy to get distracted by Trump’s celebrity feuds, but we should never lose sight of his master plan: to push our media world so far to the far right that he’s never asked about his sexually predatory or homicidal friends again." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

NEW in Bolts: Before he left office, President Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 people on federal death row. Now, Trump officials are sending them to a notoriously harsh supermax prison.

Read our new collaboration with @thenation.com:
Death Row Prisoners Granted Clemency by Biden Brace for “Living Hell” Under Trump
Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.

Good @thenation.com piece by @benschwartz.bsky.social that lays bare Trump's agenda to transform our entire media system into a far right-wing echo chamber that never questions Trump.

writes: “It seems that Epstein was not a CIA or Mossad asset—not because he didn’t have it in him, but because that was too lowly a role. Rather, he was a power broker, an American oligarch, who played a major role in shaping Western policy, which brought him in contact with spy agencies and diplomats.” Read his full report: “Jeffrey Epstein Was a Warlord. We Have to Talk About It.”
