Welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon compendium of Puck’s best new reporting.
Today, we lead with Teddy Schleifer’s inside chronicle of how one of S.B.F.’s former top lieutenants, the dapper G.O.P. mega-donor Ryan Salame, finally folded to federal prosectors after a yearlong behind-the-scenes struggle.
Plus, below the fold: Julia Alexander dissects the streamers’ bet that international content can strike-proof their catalogs. Julia Ioffe and Antony Blinken share a candid dialogue about Ukraine, China, oligarchs and more. On Somebody’s Gotta Win, Tara Palmeri’s superlative new podcast, she taps Abby Livingston to unpack McCarthy’s standoff with the House’s far-right faction and Hakeem Jeffries’ new vulnerability. And on The Powers That Be, Peter Hamby and Teddy dig into S.B.F.’s fresh legal woes, while Ben Landy and Eriq Gardner consider Google’s high-stakes fight with the D.O.J.
P.S. Today is Puck’s second anniversary, and we’re offering new members 25% off an annual subscribtion using code DOUBLEDOWN. We hope to see you on the inside.
