  • How Trump Is Making Our Birthday a ‘Big Bummer’

    How Trump Is Making Our Birthday a ‘Big Bummer’
    Jun 29 2026
    Jon Lovett joins Joanna Coles for a blistering conversation on Donald Trump’s political standing, his increasingly erratic public persona, and why Lovett believes the president is doing more to damage Republicans than Democrats ahead of the midterms. Drawing on his experience as an Obama White House speechwriter, Lovett reflects on the opening of the Obama Library, the future of the Democratic Party, the rise of its progressive wing, and the search for the next generation of leadership. He also delivers a blistering critique of Trump’s handling of America’s 250th anniversary, arguing the country has squandered what should have been a rare moment of national unity.

  • Why Trump Inner Circle Fears Blonde Companion, 34

    Why Trump Inner Circle Fears Blonde Companion, 34
    Jun 28 2026
    Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack another extraordinary week inside Donald Trump's presidency, from a major Supreme Court victory that could dramatically expand presidential power to the increasingly blurred line between church and state, the political fallout from the fragile Iran ceasefire, and why Trump may once again escape the consequences of a foreign policy setback. They also dig into the mystery surrounding Natalie Harp, Trump's fiercely devoted "human printer," as new reporting catches up with revelations first explored by Wolff, examine why the New York Times is only now embracing the idea that Trump governs through obsession rather than strategy, debate Trump's latest fixation with the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and reveal the strange political calculations behind JD Vance's Nixon comparisons.

    Joanna Coles and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty unpack one of the strangest weeks yet inside Trumpworld, from explosive new questions about the president's unusually close relationship with aide Natalie Harp to the bizarre FEMA official who claims he was "teleported" across Georgia. They also break down the MAGA state fair flop, Trump's ongoing obsession with crowd sizes and Washington's reflecting pool, JD Vance's eyebrow-raising embrace of Richard Nixon, and the Supreme Court ruling that could reshape Trump's immigration agenda.

I love this occasionally foul-mouthed critique of the week's events, US style.
En pointe. Superbe.
