I traveled to Slovakia this month to meet with John Cena on the set of his movie, “Matchbox,” ahead of his last WrestleMania in his final year in WWE. He had a lot to say.

NEW: I profiled Rep. Chip Roy for @texasmonthly.bsky.social. His story and his place in Trump's GOP has fascinated me. Shoutout to the folks at Matt’s El Rancho in Austin for the delicious tacos al pastor. I hope you enjoy the story. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...
Chip Roy Doesn’t Care What Anyone Thinks. Not Even Donald Trump.
The Texas congressman helped launch Ted Cruz’s career. Unlike his former boss, he is unafraid to criticize Trump—which might sideline him.

I profiled Anthony Mackie for @washingtonpost.com. We talked about everything in his journey from sidekick to the guy in “Captain America: Brave New World.” “This is the first time in my career that people are going to go see an Anthony Mackie movie.” Enjoy. wapo.st/4164b2V
Anthony Mackie is finally starring in an Anthony Mackie movie
Marvel needs a Captain America. America just might need a hero. After two decades as a sideman, it’s Mackie’s turn.

A year ago, I filed this story for @washingtonpost.com on Jimmy Carter and how he helped build 4,390 homes for Habitat for Humanity. It just now published today. Hope you enjoy it. www.washingtonpost.com/history/2024...

We now live in a timeline where Jake Paul has defeated Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Let that sink in.

This Netflix feed needs to be studied before WWE starts in months. Between the buffering issues and showing Mike’s derrière, it is not Netflix’s best night so far.

ICYMI: I profiled Mike Tyson over the summer for Esquire to see figure out what is still driving him at 58 to fight Jake Paul. "I’m a glory junkie ... I’d rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am." #PaulTyson www.esquire.com/sports/a6153...
Mike Tyson Takes One Last Swing at Immortality
At fifty-eight, the once-invincible former heavyweight champ is training for a showdown with an influencer-turned-boxer three decades his junior. What’s driving his return to the ring?
