DC MAGA Mood Bleaker as Sally Quinn Reports Behind-Closed-Door Despair

Following Sally Quinn’s New York Times op-ed, Washington’s MAGA milieu is portrayed as increasingly bleak, with insiders noting fear and ‘quiet quitting’ as Trump’s policies and Iran war strain the base, while a CNBC All-America Economic Survey shows the MAGA label hurting candidates more than endorsements and 61% of Americans are pessimistic about the economy, signaling a tougher midterm climate even as Democrats maintain a narrow edge and GOP tensions simmer.

OpenAI accused of hiding chat logs in NYT copyright battle

OpenAI faces serious sanctions in a high-stakes copyright lawsuit led by The New York Times after allegations that it concealed and improperly handled ChatGPT output logs that could prove or refute infringement. Plaintiffs say OpenAI had large de-identified log samples and misrepresented their accessibility, then used heavy redactions and deletions to hinder discovery, while OpenAI counters that it protects user privacy and fair use. The court constrained access to a 20 million-log sample and highlighted issues with a much larger 78 million-log set, raising the possibility that sanctions could bar the use of the 20 million sample and weaken OpenAI’s defense in a case that could hinge on whether training on copyrighted content constitutes fair use.

Trump brands NYT Iran-war coverage treasonous after questioning war’s outcomes

President Donald Trump attacked The New York Times on Truth Social, calling coverage of the Iran conflict treasonous after a Times article questioned what the war had actually accomplished; he threatened to sue the paper, with Lindsey Graham backing his stance, as Iran’s threats to close the Strait of Hormuz and polls suggesting Americans question the war’s value frame the debate.

RFK Jr. MIA at HHS as Leadership Vacuum Roils Agency

A New York Times exposé portrays RFK Jr. as largely absent from running the Health and Human Services Department, leaving morale at a low and a widening leadership vacuum as crises like Ebola loom; staff say he concentrates on his own priorities, delegates key decisions to adviser Stefanie Spear, and stays in touch mainly with an interim figure (Dr. Jay Bhattacharya) while vaccine-skeptic views guide his approach.
