“Gen Z Isn’t Waiting”: Maxwell Frost, Congress’s Youngest Member, Gets a Bumpy Introduction to Washington
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! To start us off, Abigail Tracy follows freshman representative Maxwell Frost for a vividly photographed profile of the 26-year-old’s eclectic lifestyle both in Congress and out. “It’s not like Gen Z has been waiting to get into Congress. We just got old enough,” Frost tells her. “And I think that’s really the story: Gen Z isn’t waiting.”
Over in the Midwest, Eric Lutz offers up a clarifying curtain-raiser on Chicago’s mayoral race, which has become almost wholly defined by concerns around crime. While “communities are exhausted from the sporadic violence,” one former public defender tells Vanity Fair, candidates are also “pandering to what people want to hear.”
Elsewhere, with exclusive audio from a New York Times meeting earlier this month, Charlotte Klein has the latest on the paper’s controversial coverage of transgender issues, which continues to spark furor amongst staffers. Tom Kludt reveals what’s actually at stake in Newsmax’s ongoing spat with DirecTV. Plus, Lutz catches news that GOP voters remain devoted to Donald Trump, despite the party’s best efforts to dump him once and for all. Thanks for reading.

Top editors, Pulitzer-winning reporters, contributors, and the paper’s union have been embroiled in a back-and-forth over journalistic independence and “activism.” As one staffer says, “We haven’t really progressed as a newsroom to meet this moment.”
How Newsmax’s Cable-Fee Fight Spiraled Into the Right’s Latest “Censorship” Crusade
By Tom Kludt
Republicans are threatening DirecTV with hearings and Newsmax hosts are appealing to viewers (as Fox News sits on the sidelines). But for all the political theatrics, the crux of the dispute comes down to dollars and cents.

By Eric Lutz
