I get asked if it’s boring spending 9 years on such a narrow beat.

Not even close.

Reporting on Trump businesses in 2026 meant covering—

✅ foreign labor

✅ UAE’s sovereign wealth

✅ SEC inquiries

✅ corporate advisory boards

✅ vodka

✅ beer pong

✅ virtual cologne

Okay, one more fun bit: when Zohran was handed the leather ledger that he needed to sign to make his swearing-in official, it was handed to him by Ali Najmi. Ali’s 2015 city council campaign was Zohran’s formal introduction to city politics, when he began by knocking doors for Ali. The part I love…

If you watch the deposition of Jack Smith, you'll conclude as a matter of necessity that Donald Trump should be in a federal prison right now rather than the White House. He's only living outside a cage due to dumb luck. And all of us are paying the price.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.

The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Independent journalism is great, but it takes a big outlet like the NY Times to support two journalists to report from an Antarctic expedition for two months.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

It’s hard to fathom the tragedy of another Kennedy-this time Tatiana Schlossberg-dying at such a relatively young age

But it’s unimaginable to comprehend what she felt, while cancer was stealing her life, as she watched her cousin cut research that might’ve saved other victims of malignant diseases
"As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers”

Tatiana Schlossberg, environmental journalist and JFK granddaughter, dies at 35
Schlossberg was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024 at 34.

The orange felon has vetoed a clean drinking water project in Colorado, a needed project in MAGA lunatic Lauren Boebert's district.

This cruelty comes not long after she voted to release the Epstein files.

I truly hate him.
