Welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon guide to Puck’s best new reporting. Here’s what you need to
know…
|
- The Best & The Brightest: James Talarico, perhaps the first Democrat in a generation to have a genuine shot at winning a Senate race in Texas, is getting clobbered by old footage of him claiming there are six sexes and that “God is nonbinary.” True, maybe, if you’re a biologist or theologian, but not exactly on message. Peter Hamby investigates how
Democrats are learning to counter G.O.P. attacks on trans issues, and digs into exclusive polling that reveals what the party got wrong. [Read More]
- What I’m Hearing+: A head-spinning last-minute deal with
Trump’s D.O.J. shifted the courtroom odds in favor of Live Nation, but a battalion of state attorneys general are fighting on. Eriq Gardner and Dave Brooks envision the trial’s endgame—and how 9-hole hitter Jeffrey Kessler could still win the day. [Read More]
- Line Sheet: Former Yoox Net-a-Porter C.E.O. Alison Loehnis left the fashion giant last June—and has since reemerged with an unexpected second act. Sarah Shapiro chats with the former executive about her path from big-time chief executive to Instagram influencer.

- Wall Power: The Metropolitan Museum of Art will debut a sweeping Raphael show this weekend, featuring 237 works by the Renaissance master. Marion Maneker offers a sneak peek at

Republicans are gleefully seizing on James Talarico’s “six sexes” comments while Trump warns darkly that Democrats want “transgender for
everybody.” New polling suggests how the party can defuse the G.O.P.’s “they/them” playbook before it trips them up again in November.

A surprise deal with Trump’s antitrust cops seems to have tilted the courtroom odds in favor of Live Nation in its antitrust fight. But as
state A.G.s press on, and the trial comes to a close, litigator Jeffrey Kessler is working inside the paint to distill the case to something jurors can understand: greed.

Alison Loehnis spent a career as a retail and luxury executive. Lately, she’s stumbled into a side hustle as an honest-to-god,
affiliate-link-slinging fashion influencer. Who said there’s no future in multichannel?

The Met’s milestone Raphael show, which was seven years in the making and involved loans from museums including the Royal Collection and
the Uffizi, documents the making of a master and puts him in his proper place among the Renaissance greats.

The venerable TV tracking company has become something of an industry punching bag after a methodological wrinkle showed broadcast beating
streaming. What happens if we lose the faith entirely?

The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand joins John to break down the biggest media storylines shaping the MLB season—from its Netflix “experiment”
to the future of the World Series and World Baseball Classic. They also dig into the NFL’s looming rights negotiations and whether the league is pushing too far with its ask, plus what the PSKY–WBD deal could mean for the future of March Madness.

Bill Cohan joins Peter to follow the money trail of the Iran war, as Trump’s off-the-cuff remarks send oil, Treasury yields, and
commodities like gold on a roller coaster. Bill argues this is hardly incidental—and merely the latest example of an administration that seems to move markets for its benefit with impunity.
