I'm so excited to help an incredibly talented team tell the biggest stories in the business world at the best paper around. (But I'm also quite excited to spend a few weeks riding my bike/cooking for my family/cleaning my garage first.).

The “brave fighter pilots” in question were, of course, bomber pilots, who are not fighter pilots.
Karoline Leavitt, a WH spokeswoman, said it was “flat-out wrong.”. “The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program.".

Trump using the approach with Iran that I use with my daughter when she wants to go to the pool but won’t put on sunscreen. “I guess I’ll just put the car key back on the hook [rattles keys]. Now I’m putting the towels back in the closet…”
