1. FROM MY DESKA House majority of at least 254 seats might sound like a dream for an incoming speaker. For Hakeem Jeffries, it comes with a catch: The Democrats who delivered it have sharply different ideas about what comes next. His caucus stretches from incoming freshmen pushing Medicare for All and abolishing ICE to dozens of lawmakers from deep-red districts. Jeffries wants to move quickly to lower costs, end the Iran war and pump the brakes on President Trump, but colleagues describe a cautious leader who prefers consensus over confrontation. Our reporters explore what it will take to keep his caucus united. And those divisions could carry into the 2028 presidential race. With a sprawling field expected, the contest threatens to expose fault lines unsettling Democrats: establishment vs. outsider, moderate vs. progressive and youth vs. experience.

READ IT HERE FIRSTHow a talent war spelled doom for the traditional law firm. The demise of Weil, Gotshal & Manges stunned the legal industry, but the forces that led to it aren’t unique to the firm. Driven by skyrocketing fees for corporate dealmaking, the rise of megafirms has fueled bare-knuckled competition over talent.
