Democrats appear poised for a record-shattering political comeback, ICE rains down on Minnesota, and the White House is beefing with a former Disney star?
"...will you be picking up a copy?" Absolutely not. "What do you make of Ms. Nuzzi?" I think she's out to make a buck and doesn't care who she hurts and believes that people really care about her personal life. Why would they? "What do you make of RFK Jr.?" I think he's a grifter on the level of Trump. He hurts people, especially children, and doesn't care. He has no education or experience in health care but believes he knows more than scientists and doctors. A textbook example of hubris. "Is this book even worthy of conversation?" No. "And what do you make of Vanity Fair hiring Nuzzi while so many journalists are being let go as a ‘cost-cutting measure’ at legacy media institutions?" I would question their C-suite decision making ability and ask them to investigate if it improved their bottom line.
I have lost all faith in the Democrats ability to be successful. They have a real talent for snaching defeat from the jaws of victory. Only hope is the new generation of Democrats who understand the working people.
Thanks for the great reporting. I'm surprised Trump hasn't started dropping hints about how crooked and rigged the midterm elections are going to be. He had better start sowing the seeds of doubt before he has to accept the results!
Don’t give a rats ass about that and her book is getting horrible reviews. When does Medhi get back? I’m very disappointed in what I’ve seen in his absence.
Not picking up a copy-are we so desperate for 'entertainment' that this trash is making the rounds? And why is it here FFS? If one must: best take: Brian Phillips in The Ringer will provide the laughter wholly deserved. TY: American Crisis for the recommend-
on Olivia nuzzi--I loathe that now I am aware of feltching with rfk jr in the mental image of what that means because of this woman, whom I was glad that I knew nothing about beforehand. I think that lionizing (with a vanity fair job) a "journalist" who is incapable of basic ethical practices is INSANE, especially when that type of media is hanging by a thread. I think that Ryan lizza bafoon trying to make money off of it too is just as disgusting. All of these ppl are assholes and resources should be sent to covering the wildly insane shit that is happening to regular people rather than paying nuzzi for a "memoir" (which maybe that's why she was fucking around with all of her subjects, for the stories in the tell-all memoir like SuperHead did). No I won't be buying; rfk jr is a repugnant glob of a "man" and the fact that she fucked him AND Cheryl Hines is okay with that is just nasty and boring at this point haha. Sorry Peter, I am just tired of hearing about this person so all my annoyance came out at once haha! But to your question about it be worth a conversation, I think in the macro yes. By which I mean about your other comment, regarding how so many journalists that do good work ethically to maintain their role as truth-teller (that asshole was catching and killing stories FOR rfk jr WHILE SHE WAS COVERING HIM!!! that is insane!!!) are being dropped left and right, while they are propping up such a sorry excuse for a journalist into a position of power to just re-do the unethical crap she was doing as a lower-level "journalist."
Also, Sorry Peter and everyone, haha I guess I woke up on one after listening to Pod Save the World while making breakfast...that "fog of war" comment from that racist rapist hack is So incredibly irritating. hegseth is such a little preening bitch! I hope I live long enough to see him sitting gin the huge like dueturte of the phillipines who was doing the same thing.
Why would anyone care to enrich yet another grifter?
Good Day! Thanks for another great edition of First Draft, Peter!
A friend of mine will be sending me a copy of Nuzzi’s book for my birthday later this month. I enjoy biographies, so I look forward to reading it.
Have a great day!
Thank you, Lena!
Although I'm in the market for more books, I won't be reading Nuzzi’s. Based on what I've heard, I don't have the stomach for it.

NO.
Literally everything else in your post is much more interesting and important. Let's stick to everything else.

I could care less about that GOP stenographer Nasty Nuzzi. She's just another propagandist for the GOP.
Don’t give a rats ass about that and her book is getting horrible reviews. When does Medhi get back? I’m very disappointed in what I’ve seen in his absence.
The Democrats better get to work. They only have 11 months to wipe out this advantage they have. I know they can and will do it.
Thank you team zeteo for another great first draft! Keep up the good work :)

If Democrats compete with a message (real, not phony Clintonian triangulation), they can win, as I wrote in this piece:
