You might have missed it with everything going on, but here's the latest on TikTok (there's a lot!) www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

What Trump Wants from a TikTok Deal with China

The Chinese-owned social-media app was banned by Congress because of national-security concerns, but the President seems more interested in leveraging its future for his personal gain.

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.

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.”

Why Pam Bondi Is the Attorney General of Trump’s Dreams

The upheaval under Bondi has left the Justice Department hollowed out, with consequences likely to outlast her tenure and reshape the institution itself.

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...
