Good morning,

Welcome back to The Backstory, your weekend review of the very best new work 
at Puck and Air Mail.

It was another remarkable week. Eriq Gardner war-gamed the escalating legal 
threats to the WarnerMount merger; Kim Masters diagnosed what spooked the 
Ellisons into freezing their deal; Ian Krietzberg traced OpenAI’s sudden 
charm offensive as Congress ponders a “kill switch”; John Ourand infiltrated 
ESPN’s uneasy post-layoffs town hall; Dylan Byers unpacked why the moguls 
still can’t quit Elon’s X; Bill Cohan mined Leon Black’s Epstein testimony; 
Lauren Sherman hunted down the mystery financier squeezing Bally; Rachel 
Strugatz weighed Gap Beauty’s nostalgia gambit; Malique Morris handicapped 
Shein’s discounted Hong Kong debut; and Marion Maneker probed London’s 
Zurbarán rediscovery, while Ingrid Abramovitch stepped inside Rick Cook’s 
shrine to Bruce Springsteen.

Down in D.C., Julia Ioffe obtained the administration’s road map for 
branding the far left a terror threat; Leigh Ann Caldwell aired the 
dysfunction inside Tim Scott’s Senate operation; Marianna Sotomayor captured 
the spirit of Capitol Hill insurgency on the left; and Peter Hamby 
calculated Darline Graham’s Senate odds and previewed the ramifications of 
the D.N.C.’s reshuffled 2028 calendar.

Check out these stories, and others, via the links below. And stick around 
for the backstory on how it all came together.

Tim Scott’s Hunger Games



A few years ago, I bumped into a major political operative at a mutual 
friend’s wedding on the West Coast. This guy had found remarkable success on 
both sides of the federal government’s revolving door, as a high-ranking 
White House official and a public affairs executive. We were both loosening 
our ties and moving on to the second drink when I asked him an honest 
question: What was the biggest difference, besides the money, between the 
public and the private sector? He answered in a nanosecond: management.

In an eloquent exegesis, he articulated a point that is often hiding in 
plain sight. Many politicians are emotional, endorphin-driven, and reactive; 
few have run business units or teams; and, naturally, their offices often 
take on their character. Meanwhile, our largest companies are increasingly 
run according to the McKinseyified, test-and-learn, measure-everything 
playbooks that allowed the Mag 7 to evolve from dorm rooms and garages to 
multitrillion-dollar valuations in a generation or less. This dichotomy, he 
explained, was the reason why successful businesspeople so often abandon the 
D.C. swamp soon after they arrive. Similarly, it clarified why so many 
government officials end up working for themselves after they turn in their 
name badges.

Anyway, I was thinking of this dynamic as I read my partner Leigh Ann 
Caldwell’s latest masterpiece, on Sen. Tim Scott, the former drive-by 
presidential candidate who has a deeply cultivated nice-guy image that masks 
a more complex reality. Scott has developed a reputation for running two of 
the Senate’s most dysfunctional offices—characterized by excessive turnover, 
blood rivalries, and costly political missteps. “Of course, Scott can point 
to numerous accomplishments, too,” Leigh Ann noted in her excellent piece, 
Tim Scott’s Hunger Games. “But as his portfolio has grown, rumblings about 
his broader mismanagement have also resurfaced. His Banking Committee office 
has one of the highest turnover rates in the entire Senate: 20 committee 
employees have left during Scott’s tenure, and he is currently looking for 
his fourth staff director since becoming chairman 18 months ago. His 
personal office is hardly better: Scott has had five communications 
directors in five years, and three chiefs of staff in less than three.”

It gets even better. “There’s no question that Scott is a complicated boss,” 
Leigh Ann continued. “He has high expectations for his staff, but enjoys the 
comfort of his own experience and talents. He utilizes internal competition 
for better outcomes, but sets his own work boundaries. He gives staff wide 
latitude to implement his vision, but creates insecurity in the vacuum of 
clear directives. He wants to do big things, but struggles with making hard 
decisions. And, perhaps most critically, he has invested unusual power in 
his longest-serving and most loyal aide, Jennifer DeCasper—whom many around 
Scott perceive as having reinforced his worst instincts.”

DeCasper, a former Dulles baggage handler with a law degree, is one of the 
more fascinating characters to enter the Puck cinematic universe in quite 
some time. In many ways, her ability to seep into Scott’s inner circle 
reflects the way Washington’s sanctum sanctorum really works. 
Unsurprisingly, it’s a ruthlessly competitive environment that benefits the 
most cutthroat and ambitious strivers in town—and a game that prizes 
managing ego and image over employee performance or accountability. As you 
lay out on the beach this weekend and welcome August, I couldn’t more 
strongly recommend Tim Scott’s Hunger Games. Leigh Ann offers precisely the 
sort of gimlet-eyed insight that only she can proffer on Capitol Hill and 
the modern political media industrial complex. It’s one of the great stories 
of our time, and precisely what you should expect from Puck.





Have a great weekend,
Jon

bumped into a major political operative at a mutual friend=E2=80=99s =
wedding on the West
Coast. This guy had found remarkable success on both sides of the =
federal government=E2=80=99s revolving door, as a high-ranking White =
House official and a public affairs executive. We were both loosening =
our ties and moving on to the second drink when I asked him an honest =
question: What was the biggest difference, besides the money, between =
the public and the private sector? He answered in a nanosecond: =
management.<br/><br/>In an eloquent exegesis, he articulated a point =
that is often hiding in plain
sight. Many politicians are emotional, endorphin-driven, and reactive; =
few have run business units or teams; and, naturally, their offices =
often take on their character. Meanwhile, our largest companies are =
increasingly run according to the McKinseyified, test-and-learn, =
measure-everything playbooks that allowed the Mag 7 to evolve from dorm =
rooms and garages to multitrillion-dollar valuations in a generation or =
less. This dichotomy, he explained, was the reason why successful =
businesspeople so
often abandon the D.C. swamp soon after they arrive. Similarly, it =
clarified why so many government officials end up working for themselves =
after they turn in their name badges.<br/><br/>Anyway, I was thinking of =
this dynamic as I read my partner <strong>Leigh Ann =
Caldwell</strong>=E2=80=99s latest masterpiece, on Sen. <strong>Tim =
Scott</strong>, the former drive-by presidential candidate who has a =
deeply cultivated nice-guy image that masks a more complex reality. =

running two of the Senate=E2=80=99s most dysfunctional =
offices=E2=80=94characterized by excessive turnover, blood rivalries, =
and costly political missteps. =E2=80=9COf course, Scott can point to =
numerous accomplishments, too,=E2=80=9D Leigh Ann noted in her excellent =
