Paolo Zampolli, special envoy for global partnerships in the Trump administration, seems to have an unlicensed hostel running out of his Gramercy Park townhouse. But it caters to a very particular audience: Brazilian tourists.

One funny story, I was in Bucharest to interview Tony Hickox. He died the night I arrived. I couldn’t find him. His body was found days later. My editor at the time, at a UK mag, killed the story after I landed but before I knew Tony was dead. I learned he died from a @jfkenney.bsky.social tweet.

Seven years ago, @theprophetpizza.bsky.social altered the course of my life when she assigned me a story about FashionTV. She left Garage before she could edit my love letter essay to my favorite white noise. I was upset, but I never gave up on my story, and it ultimately led me to the White House.
