=E2=80=8A
D.C.=E2=80=99s Long December
----------------------
On Thursday evening, I grabbed an impromptu drink with an old and
dear friend=E2=80=94a reliable sounding board I trust, and one of the peopl=
e who truly nurtured my budding entrepreneurship many years ago, in the dee=
p prehistory of the Puck archives. We were sitting at the bar at the Riggs,=
my favorite hotel in Washington, watching the Christmas party scenes unfol=
d before us with delight and mirth: buoyantly overserved Hill staffers, whi=
spering federal workers with their badges still clipped on their trousers, =
and lawyers and legislators scattered throughout.
Washington usually shuts down around this time of year, but I was grateful =
to catch the final gasp of its rhythms.
=C2=A0
I was back in town for some light end-of-year business matters=E2=80=94a fe=
w critical hiring meetings, business development meetings, a little fact-fi=
nding and gossip-hunting and the like. And I=E2=80=99d decided to extend my=
stay to partake in one of the final White House Christmas parties of the B=
iden administration.
Indeed, there was a sort of fin de si=C3=A8cle mood at the Riggs, which is =
conveniently situated equidistant from the Capitol and the White House: Tru=
mp was dictating debt ceiling orders to House Speaker Mike Johnson, forcing=
a series of last-minute, helter-skelter meetings on the Hill to get a new =
C.R., or continuing resolution, ratified in order to keep the federal gover=
nment in operation through the holiday recess. Biden, himself, was already =
checked
out.

_term=3Df6c60615e3d301d48d28 )
Meanwhile, Elon Musk was throwing his weight
around on X, adding to the confusion and leading most sane people in the DM=
V to wonder aloud when this three-man dynamic would collapse. In particular=
, why had Johnson=E2=80=99s Mar-a-Lago obsequiousness proved so ineffectual=
? And when might Trump tire of =E2=80=9CUncle Elon=E2=80=9D=E2=80=94his Tru=
mpworld moniker, as my partner Tara Palmeri recently revealed. At the same =
time, as my partner Dylan Byers has indefatigably chronicled, the long, sem=
i-depressing search for a new executive editor
at The Washington Post was coming to its denouement, with interim leader Ma=
tt Murray at last appointed to ascend the greased pole. Anyway, my buddy an=
d I had a lot to kibitz over.
=C2=A0
This is a reflective time of year, and there=E2=80=99s a natural instinct=
=E2=80=94both editorially and biologically, frankly=E2=80=94to wrap a narra=
tive around the past 12 months and annotate it for the memory books. And wh=
ile
I could certainly indulge that sort of whimsy, I think the behavior slightl=
y misreads the moment. As I chewed over these D.C.-themed storylines at the=
Riggs, I became increasingly alive to the observation that the next severa=
l quarters will be far more fascinating than the ones just traversed.
=C2=A0
I=E2=80=99ve often considered Puck to be a biography of our age, told a day=
at a time. But one of the greatest attributes
of our growing company is my partners=E2=80=99 ability to see around corner=
s=E2=80=94a talent rooted in their own domain expertise and orthogonal thin=
king as peerless journalists. To wit: Dylan=E2=80=99s latest story on the W=

), which I previewed last week. Yes, yes, I know that Puck occasionally man=
ifests a fair amount of alacrity when it comes to the Warner Bros. Discover=
y C.E.O. and his deal machinations. But, as Bill notes, the Zaz endgame is =
becoming
increasingly clear as he separates out his cable assets, brings on an expen=
sive team of dealmakers and deal lawyers, and signals his intention to the =
market. After all, the guy isn=E2=80=99t simply gesturing at how he=E2=80=

It=E2=80=99s the story of our time and, as always, precisely what you shoul=

my favorite hotel in Washington, watching the Christmas party scenes unfol=

spering federal workers with their badges still clipped on their trousers, =
and lawyers and legislators scattered throughout.
Washington usually shuts down around this time of year, but I was grateful =
to catch the final gasp of its rhythms.</p><p style=3D"margin:0;margin-bott=

like. And I=E2=80=99d decided to extend my stay to partake in one of the fi=
nal White House Christmas parties of the <strong>Biden </strong>administrat=

Indeed, there was a sort of <em>fin de si=C3=A8cle</em> mood at the Riggs, =
which is conveniently situated equidistant from the Capitol and the White H=

ratified in order to keep the federal government in operation through the h=

out.</p></div>
