  In The Washington Post today, we dug into a political mystery. Donald Trump famously hates smoking — so why is Big Tobacco giving his campaign so much money?Answer: the industry thinks Trump is their best bet to protect their interests. The Biden administration has prepared a national ban on menthol cigarettes that could cost Big Tobacco billions of dollars.And if you follow the money, the top corporate donor to the main pro-Trump super PAC … is a subsidiary of the maker of Newports, the No. 1 menthol brand in the country.More in our deep dive with Isaac Stanley-Becker and Josh Dawsey. https://lnkd.in/dYdke6BJ

  When Chung met Povich in 1969, he was a “young, tall, dark, very handsome sports director” who paid her no mind, Chung writes in her book. “He was strictly business.”She’s got a new memoir about her trailblazing career. He’s a daytime talk show legend. Together, they’re still laughing at their “Wall of Shame.”

  Ariel McKenzie recalls that it was a big deal when her father landed a job at Boeing 20 years ago. So when he suggested she also join the company, it seemed like a smart move: Working at the company had given her dad and the other Boeing long-timers a good life, paying for roomy houses, nice trucks, motorbikes and vacations.“It’s a very comfortable upper-middle-class family that these Boeing jobs used to create. … It’s just not the case anymore,” McKenzie said. Only working a second job or logging massive overtime hours could match it, she said. “It feels demoralizing.”The Seattle area boomed as Boeing wrung concessions from unionized workers, making them feel left behind.

  Most afternoons, Paisley Brodie calls her mother when she gets to the public library four blocks from her middle school on Capitol Hill. On Sept. 9, the call came when Deirdre Allen expected it, but her 12-year-old daughter was crying. “Mommy,” she said, “I just got hit by a car.”Allen, who was given a photo of the license plate by a witness, learned that the Land Rover has 94 unpaid tickets worth $19,770 from D.C. traffic cameras, six for speeding just this month and four for running red lights since July.It’s not clear who was driving each time; the cameras capture only the license plate.

  Soon afterDonald Trumpbecame president, authorities tried to warn him about the risks posed by golfing at his own courses because of their proximity to public roads. Secret Service agents came armed with unusual evidence: not suspect profiles or spent bullet casings, but simple photographs taken by news crews of him golfing at his private club in Sterling, Va.Sunday’s episode in West Palm Beach made gravely apparent the security challenges at the former president’s private golf courses.
