@Bricktop_NAFO Hi, sent a DM, but would love to know the source for this figure if you have it!

@travisakers Hey! I'm a reporter at The Verge on the Trump phone beat - do you have a source for this 600,000 figure? I'm seeing it around a lot and trying to track it down!

This week’s recipe for paid subscribers is a belter: it comes from my friend Tiernan, who pairs savoury and sweet in this sourdough featuring kalamata olives and caramelised roasted grapes. Best eaten smeared thick with goat’s cheese.
