Suisse Banking Crisis, “DeSantasy” Consultant Blues, Pompeo’s Roman Holiday

Welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon dose of Puck’s latest reportage.

Today, we lead with Dylan Byers’ candid assessment of the challenging landscape for modern medicos—CBS’s leadership drama, The Messenger’s scaling troubles, the Post’s brain drain—and why the Times still has the jump on everybody.

Then, below the fold: William D. Cohan pens the definitive post-mortem of a generational banking meltdown in Switzerland. Tina Nguyen details why the DeSantis campaign continues losing altitude. On The Powers That Be, Tara Palmeri and Peter Hamby discuss Mike Pompeo’s Roman holiday, while Julia Alexander and Ben Landy divulge Netflix’s secret super power. And on The Town, Matthew Belloni taps Vulture’s Chris Lee to explain why the quality of movie effects is in decline.

Tara Palmeri joins Peter from Florida with an update on DeSantis’ suburban strategy, Mike Pompeo’s Roman holiday, and a Glenn Youngkin backup plan. Then Julia Alexander drops by to discuss Netflix’s secret super power.
