A virulent form of misogyny has become the single most important force holding together the American right. By Helen Lewis

"Far from being a fringe belief system, *masculinism* has become the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, 7 fanboys." They don't want women to vote. Gift link.

Lots of good info in this @status.news newsletter but as a longtime TV news person this really jumped out at me: Alfonsi's contract is apparently up this month and the boss hasn't said a word? That is wildly unprofessional. Stunning, really.

Elsewhere, Sharyn Alfonsi is not expected to have her contract renewed after clashing with Weiss and publicly criticizing the decision to hold her “Inside CECOT” story. Weiss has not communicated with Alfonsi about her future or offered her a new contract, a person familiar with the matter told Status earlier this week.

As it becomes increasingly clear that the mess in the Middle East will continue through to the midterms, I can't help but wonder when the Republican Congress will step in -- to save their own jobs.

Line chart titled "Oil price futures are near all-time highs and oil is expected to remain expensive at least through the mid-term elections" showing November 2026 West Texas Intermediate futures prices. Crude oil futures have surged 53 percent from a low of $55.67 in December 2025 to $85.60 on May 15, 2026, with particularly sharp acceleration beginning in March 2026. Current prices are at their highest level for this contract, exceeding $20 per barrel above previous peaks and suggesting elevated oil costs will persist through the November 2026 midterm elections.
