The Dems’ Impeachment Containment Breach

The Dems’ Impeachment Containment Breach

For much of the past year, Democratic leaders have mostly kept a lid on threats by far-left members to impeach the president. Now, amid Trump’s unauthorized war in Iran and his increasingly erratic behavior, there’s resurgent talk of impeachment—even if it has zero chance of success.

Singing Acquavella

The fabulous new Matisse exhibition at the Acquavella Galleries is a testament to the surging interest in a sometimes overlooked artist—as well as to the masterful stewardship of the Acquavella family, which created and still controls the modern Matisse market.

The Month in Shopping: The Sisterhood of the Unraveling Pants

Exhale, everyone—easy pants have quietly become the spring uniform for the GLP-1 era, paired with higher-end shoes, bags, and jackets to assert individuality and a hint of liquidity.

The NFL’s Cracked Shield

Michael Nathanson rejoins the pod to discuss what the NFL must do to lock in its next round of media deals ahead of September’s kickoff—and what’s at stake if it doesn’t. They also examine the potential ripple effects of the D.O.J.’s latest investigation, which Michael says could spell more trouble for broadcasters than for the NFL itself. Plus, Michael explains why he believes the sports media landscape writ large is as strong as it’s ever been.

Media Monday: The Politico Pivot & YouTube ’28

Peter Hamby phones in from the Puck Coachella satellite office for a scintillating conversation with Jon Kelly about the big idea behind Politico’s major executive reshuffling: Has the pivot to video finally descended on Rosslyn? Then the duo turn their attention to the Democrats’ attempt to belatedly dominate YouTube during the midterms.

Sam Altman’s Mad Men Era
It was inevitable that OpenAI, a massive consumer-facing company racking up historic losses, would enter the advertising business. Will this become the new normal for the industry? Or will ChatGPT users revolt?

Trump’s G.O.P. Greenlanditis
With his Davos speech, the president reassured jittery Republicans that invading Greenland is, for now, off the table. But conversations on the Hill have escalated, as even Trump’s G.O.P. allies warn that any move that blows up NATO could end his midterm hopes—and lead to impeachment, too.

After a month of contentious delays, 60 Minutes finally aired its piece on the notorious El Salvador prison CECOT. The “hostage standoff,” as one person put it, ended in an uneasy truce that could have been reached a month ago—and without exposing the distrust and division at Bari Weiss’s CBS News.

Amid a torrent of bankruptcy filings, a blunt declaration by Saks Global’s newly appointed chief restructuring officer lays out precisely what went wrong and when, and who got screwed hardest—plus which risk-hungry investors are likely to call the shots moving forward. As it turns out, the company’s capital structure became “unsustainable” almost immediately after its $2.7 billion acquisition of Neiman Marcus Group in December 2024.
