Navigating Manhattan's Theater Scene: Ticket Tips and Upcoming Discussions

Most of us can only wonder what goes on in U.S. national security leaders’ group chats, but The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg doesn’t have to. Last week, Goldberg was accidentally included in a Signal group chat with high-ranking members of the Donald Trump administration, in which they discussed imminent war operations. Yes, this actually happened. Plus, the whopping $2.1 billion verdict you might’ve missed over Roundup weed killer. And, we smile over what’s happened since congestion pricing went into effect in Manhattan — all while dropping some Latin vocab.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans” by The Atlantic
• “Bayer Drops After $2 Billion Verdict in Latest Roundup Trial” from Bloomberg
• “Third Circuit Rules Failure to Warn Claims Preempted by FIFRA” from the National Agricultural Law Center
• “Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal break Broadway box office records with ‘Othello’” by CNN
• “Congestion Pricing is a Policy Miracle” by Better Cities via Substack
