The Washington Post hasn’t exactly had a strong presence at the intellectual property gold rush, despite its Hollywood cred (see: All the President's Men, The Post). But Joe Pompeo [reports]( that’s all changing: the newspaper has partnered with two Hollywood heavyweights, Imagine Entertainment and Creative Artists Agency, and the alliance already has four projects in development. Elsewhere, Kelly Rissman [reports]( on the DOJ’s release of the affidavit it used to obtain the Mar-a-Lago search warrant. Rissman also [examines]( why one of the four Florida school board members Ron DeSantis suspended Friday is calling the governor’s actions “political retribution.” Meanwhile, the US will [appoint]( an Arctic ambassador due to the rapid deterioration of the region from melting ice caps. Plus, Rep. Lauren Boebert [blasted]( Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, saying the president is “robbing hard-working Americans to pay for Karen’s daughter’s degree in lesbian dance theory.” Thanks for reading!
