The presidentâs allies in the media and elsewhere have focused their attention on the integrity of Robert Muellerâs investigation, pointing to text messages by an F.B.I. agent recently dismissed from the team. The right has had a range of reactions â from proposing that a committee be formed to âinvestigate the investigatorsâ to using the scandal to discredit the entire Russia inquiry all together. The left is worried that this is all pretext for Mr. Trump to fire Mr. Mueller. In which case, one writer argues, impeachment. [THE NEW YORK TIMES]( [»](

In 2009, D.C.âs alt-weekly, the Washington City Paper, published my story on a culture of sexual harassment and complicity at the Marijuana Policy Project. Now, in the midst of our national reckoning on sexual harassment, the reporter Rachel Cohen revisited the case and discovered what happens to an organization that never fully reckons with its own problems. [WASHINGTON CITY PAPER »](

The debt collection industry is already shady, but this piece dives into exactly how shady it really is, and how millions are hounded and harassed into paying off debts they donât owe. Instead of lining the pockets of scammers just to make them go away, one man fought back â with a vengeance, and even got the F.B.I. to notice. [BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK »](

Britain is often laughed off for having an indistinct or boring cuisine (A French colleague once joked to me, âIf you like their food, youâll love their weatherâ). But while much has changed here in that respect in recent years, one thing has remained constant: the British love for the humble sandwich. This story takes us through the sandwichâs founding, its development and how it now defines modern Britain. [THE GUARDIAN »](

A beautifully crafted visual guide to the financial headwinds millennials are up against and what could be done to address them. This stuck in mind: âAny attempt to recreate the economic conditions the boomers had is just sending lifeboats to a whirlpool.â  [HUFFPOST HIGHLINE »](

Who would go to such lengths to source and taste all the varieties of Trump wine? The food authority and Atlantic editor Corby Kummer, who mixes shoe-leather reporting (and tasting) with funny, smart and otherwise delicious writing. [VANITY FAIR »](
