“Biden: Tentative railway labor deal reached, averting strike,” AP:
“President Joe Biden said Thursday a tentative railway labor agreement
has been reached, averting a potentially devastating strike before the
pivotal midterm elections. He said the tentative deal ‘will keep our
critical rail system working and avoid disruption of our economy.’”

And NYT’s Peter Baker and The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser, two old
friends of Playbook (Susan was POLITICO’s editor from 2014-2016), will
release "THE DIVIDER: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021," on Tuesday.
But after The Guardian’s resourceful Martin Pengelly snagged a copy
early, the book’s embargo was lifted last night, leading to a flurry of
coverage.

In the NYT, Baker himself writes up an incredible account from the book
about the time Trump’s friend, the cosmetics billionaire Ronald Lauder,
convinced him that the U.S. could buy Greenland.
