These numbers are going up, by the way: A Democratic House staffer told me their office got nearly 800 calls about Jeffries on Friday alone.
Most of the staffers I'm talking to describe this as the most call volume they've ever experienced. axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…
NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker

A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

New: Laura Loomer has been paid for her tweets, says a former Trump campaign aide and others who said they paid her on clients' behalf. Loomer disputed the claims in an interview before announcing her hiatus: "It’s not illegal to make a living in America" washingtonpost.com/business/…

The New York Times first reported on a relationship that was too close for comfort but didn’t explicitly say that U.S. intelligence had assessed the relationship as romantic.
The Financial Times is the first to report that the U.S. government believes Huang had a romantic relationship with the woman.
NEW:
The US government believes Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with a Chinese woman whom the US intelligence community believes was recruited to spy for China’s Ministry of State Security, the country’s main intelligence agency.
Chinese intelligence could exploit a relationship with Huang to obtain sensitive information about Nvidia’s most advanced technology which could help China accelerate its military and intelligence capabilities while undermining the technological advantage the United States is trying to protect.

NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president.
“America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.”
He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!
