James Pogue [takes]( a deep dive into the New Right, a “stranger political ferment, burbling up mainly within America’s young and well-educated elite, part of an intra-media class info-war” and zeroes in on its “nefarious godfather,” Peter Thiel, who has “grown increasingly involved in the politics of this younger and weirder world.” Elsewhere, Eric Lutz [reports]( on the commander of Ukrainian troops in Mariupol issuing an urgent plea for help evacuating remaining civilians and fighters, while vowing that they will not lay down their weapons. Lutz also [writes]( about the fiery floor speech of state senator Mallory McMorrow. Darlene Superville and Julie Pace [give us]( an excerpt from their new book, Jill: A Biography of the First Lady. Finally, Bess Levin [explains]( exactly how Bill O’Reilly managed to blame his shit fit at JFK Airport on the president of the United States. Thanks for reading!
