Oversight Election Day, Darcy’s Status Report, A Milan Fashion Week Preview

Welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon clipbook of Puck’s best new reporting. Real quick, before we get started: We’d love to hear how Puck fits into your day. Take our short (seriously, it should only take three minutes) survey to help us make your reading experience even better. You can find it here. First up today, John Ourand charts the road ahead for TNT Sports as Warner Bros. Discovery prepares to break away from its cable portfolio. Under incoming C.E.O. Gunnar Wiedenfels—who will take charge of WBD’s TV assets dregs—the network’s standing as a legit bidder for major sports rights remains an open question. But with TNT Sports C.E.O. Luis Silberwasser’s ongoing negotiations for UFC, and Wiedenfels’ recent deals for NASCAR and the French Open, maybe GunnarCo isn’t totally retrenching after all… Plus, below the fold: Lauren Sherman uncovers exclusive intel surrounding the Sánchez-Bezos wedding of the century, from Anna Wintour’s sartorial guidance to the fashion industry’s uneasy relationship with Silicon Valley wealth. And Leigh Ann Caldwell chronicles the House Democratic bake-off to select the next ranking member of the Oversight Committee—a contest won by Rep. Robert Garcia earlier today, and which encapsulates the party’s most pressing existential questions. Meanwhile, on the pods: Dylan Byers invites veteran media reporter Oliver Darcy on to The Grill Room to break down the hurdles of leaving legacy media to launch his own venture. On Fashion People, Lauren and Highsnobiety E.I.C. Noah Johnson go inside Men’s Fashion Week in Milan. And on The Powers That Be, Leigh Ann and Julia Ioffe dig into the latest twists and political aftershocks of the Trump administration’s decision to drop bombs on Iran.

Is Fashion Ready for Lauren Sánchez Bezos?

The industry news on the wedding of the century is beginning to leak out: Anna Wintour is very involved with the looks of the bride and the groom (though she won’t make it to the Grand Canal) while Jonathan Anderson is debuting his Dior for the real fashion crowd on the same weekend—seemingly a million miles away.

D.C.’s Iran Fog of War

Julia Ioffe and Leigh Ann Caldwell unpack the political fallout from the U.S. strikes on Iran, including the MAGA coalition’s reflexive support for Trump and the Democrats’ more fragmented response. While Republicans are largely unified, Democrats remain split—and are more focused on Trump’s sidestepping of Congress than taking a clear stance on the strikes themselves. Listen Now

After claiming the “framework of a deal” to expand America’s presence on the world’s largest island, Trump has dropped his threats to invade Greenland. Thank God, because a direct assault on Greenland wasn’t going to be a cakewalk.

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.

The Saks Financial Colonoscopy
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.
