"While his father Steve Witkoff acts as President Trump’s all-purpose special envoy, 32-year-old Zach Witkoff now heads up World Liberty, which has doled out at least $1.4 billion to both families"

"The Post proudly adopted the motto “democracy dies in darkness” after Trump was first elected. Now the paper is an exhibit of his attempts to smother democracy in broad daylight." My Swamp Notes with Chris Grimes on oligarch destruction of US media. https://t.co/HFbhM1EYtn

Let me get this playbook straight: sully a great institution, hide from staff, float goofy ways to revive it, then retreat, then gut it, then make the editor eat all the shit in public, slink off to the Super Bowl, get spotted and summarily ousted.

May the ghost of Katharine Graham haunt Jeff Bezos for the rest of his life.

She had the backbone & balls @JeffBezos will never have.

If you're canceling your Washington Post subscription but still have an Amazon Prime membership, you're doing it wrong.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

What shocks me most is how much this relatively small group of men knew each other. It is not an exaggeration to call this an elite cabal and there is no evidence they’ve disbanded.

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Read this whole order. Every word of this.

@HowardKurtz Congratulations, Howie! Always a pleasure. More scoops ahead, I know for sure.

[Barton Gellman @bartongellman]

Even if it's closing time, don't go home from your polling place until you've cast your vote.

INDICATOR? "“I’m trying to do a focus group tonight with undecided voters under the age of 27 for a major news outlet. And I can’t recruit young women to this, because they don’t exist as undecided voters.” @FrankLuntz @thehill

INDICATOR? "One long-time Dem consultant, who is involved with key Calif House races, told me they recently organized a film shoot for one of their candidates and “had more volunteers than I knew what to do with. I never really had that problem before.” @MZanona @PunchbowlNews

Other precincts heard from: scarred-but-smarter GOP pollster on Harris-Walz "intensity advantage," matching the pod's Ezra-Original Nate mindmeld. https://t.co/TdimTLApPD

Are reflexively doubting @NYT headlines real, or something else? https://t.co/HlGC5uRo8v

[Ned Martel @nedmartel]

@NYT On his pod, @ezraklein with @NateSilver538 showed how fever-pitch emotion escapes polling metrics. Will @NYT learn from its own reporting? Or just over-index on old methods, that have failed us before? Hey, @Nate_Cohn, how about treating this election like it might be the last?
