The Venture-Capital PopulistIllustrations by Mike McQuadeThe courtship between Silicon Valley and MAGA was consummated on June 6, 2024, in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood, on a street known as “Billionaires’ Row,” at the 22,000-square-foot, $45 million French-limestone mansion of a venture capitalist named David Sacks. Along with Chamath Palihapitiya, a fellow venture capitalist and a colleague on the All-In podcast, Sacks hosted a fundraiser for Donald Trump. He knew that other technology titans were coming around to the ex-president but remained in the closet. “And I think that this event is going to break the ice on that,” Sacks said on the podcast the week before the fundraiser. “And maybe it’ll create a preference cascade, where all of a sudden it becomes acceptable to acknowledge the truth.”A few years earlier, Sacks had described the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol as an “insurrection” and pronounced Trump “disqualified” from…

Stephen Miller in RetreatJust hours before Stephen Miller arrived at the Mar-a-Lago ballroom on New Year’s Eve—where he would welcome 2026 by dancing next to the soon-to-be-defenestrated homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, as the 1990s cultural relic Vanilla Ice performed—he won a great, though ultimately fleeting, victory. The Labor Department’s Foreign Labor Certification office  announced that the  Trump administration would cut the number of approved visas for seasonal workers by about 50 percent. Miller had been trying since his days as a Senate aide to reduce reliance on visas granted annually to the hospitality, construction, and landscaping industries.But the plan unraveled within weeks. After the killing of two protesters in Minneapolis, President Trump reversed the visa cuts as part of a late-January retreat from Miller’s hard-edged goals. Miller was not involved in the walk back, according to two people with knowledge of the process and who requested anonymity to discuss…

Encore, Johnny Johnny Hallyday made his 90th appearance on the cover of Paris-Match this week. His first was in 1963. He died in 2017, of course, and around a million people turned out in the streets of the French capital to watch his funeral cortège go by. The reason for his reappearance on the magazine’s cover is the announcement of a new biopic, Johnny, to be directed by Cédric Jimenez, with Benjamin Voisin, so brilliant as Meursault in François Ozon’s recent The Stranger, in the title role (and on the latest cover). Noée Abita and Nina Meurisse will play Sylvie Vartan and Nathalie Baye respectively — Johnny’s wives during the period on which the film concentrates, from the ’60s to the ’80s. Marie Colomb is cast as the singer Nanette Workman, with whom he had a tumultuous affair in the ’70s. Rather poignantly, Laura Smet, Johnny’s daughter, plays her own…
