Good morning,

Welcome back to The Backstory, your weekend recap of the most urgent new 
work at Puck.

It was another remarkable week: Matt Belloni decoded Josh D’Amaro’s Disney 
manifesto; John Ourand broke the news on Netflix’s surprising five-game NFL 
package; Eriq Gardner flagged the Polymarket precedent spooking pro sports;

Meanwhile, down in D.C., Julia Ioffe identified the Biden bros quietly 
angling for a comeback; Peter Hamby explained why Joe Biden’s endorsement 
still moves Democratic primaries; Leigh Ann Caldwell revisited the Mike

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR







The “forgotten smoker” is not forgotten because solutions do not exist, but 
because helping this population requires updated thinking and sustained 
political will. Americans don’t want smokers written off or waited out. They 
want policies that reflect modern science, reduce stigma, expand effective 
options, and treat adults who smoke as a continuing public health priority.

Ending smoking will not happen by ignoring the hardest cases. It will happen 
by meeting people where they are, expanding the toolkit beyond a “quit-only” 
approach, and designing policies that make it easier—not harder—for 
Americans to move away from cigarettes.

The Comeback Kids



On Thursday night, I found myself at a gala on the Washington Mall 
celebrating the commencement of the monthslong jubilee for America’s 250th 
anniversary. The program was a veritable Puck casting call from across our 
various power corners: CBS News stalwart Norah O’Donnell, who has delicately 
navigated the vicissitudes of the Bari Weiss era, emceed the evening; Apollo 
co-founder and pro sports mogul Josh Harris presented an award; Secretary of 
the Interior Doug Burgum served as the majordomo; and much attention was 
bestowed upon Trump’s Palm Beach–esque renovation of the Reflecting Pool. 
(Burgum was a little late, in fact, on account of the president’s unscripted 
visit to the water feature earlier in the evening.) Sitting among partners, 
friends, and clients, it was a swell night all around.

Naturally, a number of speakers offered their own riffs on the successful 
underpinnings of the American experiment, virtually all of which came down 
to the Jeffersonian credo that we’re all entitled to our own pursuit of 
happiness. I wouldn’t disagree—it was those mighty words that set in motion 
the self-fulfilling journey of re-creation and ambition that provided the 
contours for centuries of economic and societal growth. And in some ways, it 
called to mind a discussion I’d observed earlier in the week out in 
Hollywood, where I’d traveled to attend my partner Matt Belloni’s biannual 
Stories of the Season tentpole.

In conversation with David E. Kelley, Matt wondered onstage how the 
prodigious TV writer and producer viewed the coming integration of A.I. into 
the Hollywood economy. Given the emotional strain that the technology has 
unleashed on the entertainment industry, I assumed Kelley might react 
negatively or at least pregnantly demure. But there he was, one of the true 
champions of the broadcast business who had just released Margo’s Got Money 
Troubles on Apple TV, acknowledging the quiet part aloud: A.I. might be an 
inevitable paradigm shift, but it was never going to replace the writers’ 
room. He exuded a fearless confidence.

Change is the only constant, after all. And yet, power often operates 
cyclically, particularly in Washington. As our gala speakers offered their 
thoughts on the march toward moral perfection, I peered over to my newest 
partner, Marianna Sotomayor, who recently joined Puck from The Washington 
Post. In her debut piece, Johnson & Jeffries’ Prisoner’s Dilemma, Marianna 
had chatted up the two Capitol Hill leaders about their parties’ own 
redistricting woes—the increasingly bipartisan arms race to redraw 
congressional maps in pursuit of ’26 domination and beyond. The piece also 
revealed how quickly political idealism can be subsumed by 
realpolitik—especially when real power, and a legislative majority, are on 
the line. Sitting on America’s so-called front lawn, I was reminded that our 
founders strove for imperfection—an important gut check as our national 
civil disunion turns local.

But if you only have time to read one piece this weekend, I’d turn your 
attention to Julia Ioffe’s latest masterstroke, The Boys Are Back in Town, 
which focuses on the earliest steps of a true Washington reclamation 
project. Joe Biden has only been out of power for a year and a half—albeit, 
yes, quite a long year and a half—but a number of his old foreign policy 
hands are already pursuing their own happiness by attempting to revitalize 
their careers in anticipation of a Democratic restoration in ’28.

On some level, of course, nothing is wrong with this sort of choreography. 
These shadowy advancements are a hallmark of our two-party system—indeed, 
many of Trump’s advisors began advancing draft E.O.s and org charts well 
before his second election. The biggest difference, however, may be that 
many within the Democratic Party pine for fresh blood. “This is the Jake 
[Sullivan] and Jon [Finer] Show: Redux, and nobody I know is happy about 
 it,” one former State official told Julia. “The idea that the same foreign 
policy leadership that brought us the Afghanistan withdrawal and the 
cover-up of Biden’s decline should be in charge of staffing the next 
Democratic administration and determining its foreign policy is tone deaf at 
best.”

These sorts of feuding ambitions, however unpleasant in the moment, are an 
engine of America’s political dynamism. They’re also a reminder, 
particularly as we prepare to enter a season of collective patriotism, that 
there is a whole lot lurking under the surface. That’s a story as old as our 
country, and our true obsession here at Puck.





Have a great weekend,
Jon
