What a week it’s been, dear reader: Joe Biden is [deflating](. William Barr drew a [line in the sand](. Silicon Valley is [sick]( of Mark Zuckerberg. And Donald Trump was fined $2 million for [treating his political career like a charity case](. But who wants to talk about yesterday’s news, anyway? Today we lead with Bess Levin’s piquant insights into the capacious mind of Don Jr., the president’s oldest and [dumbest]( adult child. Plus: Alison Durkee on how a Michael Bloomberg campaign could change the 2020 calculus. We hope that you’re enjoying what you’re reading. Have a great day!
