The Free Press: The Weekend Press

The Secret Lives of Conservative Wives. Plus . . .

The Free Press — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 10:01:31 GMT

Welcome back to The Weekend Press! Today, Maddy Kearns sits down with America’s most famous bishop—after the Pope, of course. Suzy Weiss on poisoned salads. Coleman Hughes on how to fix sports betting before it’s too late. And more!

But first: “Usha and the baby are happy and healthy.”

So announced the vice president on Sunday, upon the birth of his fourth child. The news was followed up yesterday by a few pictures, posted by his wife, captioned: “Enjoy these attempts at taking a decent family photo with four kids!” In them, Usha Vance is smiling widely, arms wrapped around two of her kids, while her husband holds the baby.

And yet: There are those who insist that Usha Vance can’t possibly be happy. For two years, progressives have claimed she is a hostage in her own marriage—that her smiles are cries for help and her every expression of affection is performance.

Meanwhile, the New York Times bestseller list continues to prominently feature Yesteryear—a novel about an outwardly happy but secretly miserable conservative wife, which Kat Rosenfield memorably described in these pages as “parasocial hate porn for millennial feminists.” As Freya India asks in her piece today: Why are some liberals so desperate to believe women who make traditional choices must be trapped by them?

Having read the vice president’s memoir, Freya has a radical theory: that J.D. Vance both adores his wife and respects her. “The Usha described in the book,” she writes, is not “some sort of doormat or background figure in her husband’s life.”

She also has a radical suggestion: Could the Vances help remind young Americans that a happy marriage isn’t a cage?

Second Thought

You could roll your eyes at the hypocrisy of the culture war raging about The Odyssey. (Why get het up about a black Helen if you’re going to accept a face-lifted Anne Hathaway?) But Suzy Weiss is loving it. “Suddenly, my feed is full of debates over the difference between kleos, the Greek concept of glory, and timé, which is honor,” she writes in her latest newsletter—arguing that this is a vast improvement from the movies that usually rule the summer months. “Do you remember the awe and anguish you experienced during Deadpool & Wolverine? Me neither.”

In the latest episode of Second Thought, you can listen to Suzy talk to her co-host, Dan Ahdoot, about loving The Odyssey, worrying about Tom Brady, and whether she’s tempted to buy parasite-infested lettuce for 50 percent off . . .

We’ve published plenty of stories worth catching up on this week. Do not miss Peter Savodnik’s gorgeous essay about sending his daughter to sleepaway camp for the first time. Meanwhile, happiness expert Arthur Brooks wrote about why he does something that makes him unhappy. . .

How should you spend the rest of your weekend? We asked our politics editor Mene Ukueberuwa for his recommendations. . .

👂Listen: You won’t regret a trek to Tanglewood—the Boston Symphony’s summer retreat in the Berkshires, which is tranquil and tree-covered, and always feels a little cooler than the day’s weather. For my money, the best upcoming concert is next Friday, headlined by Richard Wagner’s “Prelude and Liebestod” from Tristan und Isolde, conducted by an eminent visitor in Esa-Pekka Salonen. Shed a tear, enjoy the breeze, and feel yourself fall in love.

📖Read: Freedom from Fear. If your America 250 reading list didn’t end on July 4, this is one of the best additions you can make. Historian David M. Kennedy tells the conjoined story of the Great Depression and the U.S. experience in World War II. And even though the title is drawn from Franklin Roosevelt’s famous speech, the book doesn’t focus solely on the White House that steered the country through these events. More attention is paid to the tinkerers and tycoons who restarted the economy and the sometimes brilliant, sometimes ordinary sailors and Marines who pushed back the Japanese from island to island.

🥩Eat: Cherry beef bourguignon. My wife and I returned from our honeymoon in France with only a few keepsakes: a mug engraved with an image of Mont-Saint-Michel, and a French-language picture book for the future child we were hoping for. In the end, the most-prized souvenir was a recipe we haven’t stopped making two years after we returned. It was a simple beef bourguignon that we tried at a little restaurant in Paris that was only slightly touristy. Replicate it with a middle-of-the shelf pinot noir that’s fit to expend on cooking and some tart cherries thrown in to cut the savoriness of the meal. Best in cold weather, unfortunately, but irresistible enough that you’ll crave it year round.

3 lbs of cubed stew meat, browned in oil.
1 cup pitted tart cherries to balance the savory sauce
Dry red wine, beef stock, sliced onions, carrots, garlic, and thyme
Sautéed mushrooms and pearl onions

Last but not least, we asked our creative director Clara Grusq to tell us about a beautiful thing she’s been thinking about this week. Her answer: the Boléro. Maurice Ravel’s piece is currently onstage as a ballet at New York City Center, and it sent her back to the moment she first fell in love with it—watching Argentinian dancer Jorge Donn perform Maurice Béjart’s iconic choreography in the 1981 film Les Uns et les Autres. “There is nothing I don’t love about this ballet,” she writes. “The red circle as a stage, the solitary dancer who slowly becomes one with the collective. The relentless, almost militaristic rhythm that builds into a kind of hypnosis. It is one of those rare works of art that truly feels transcendent.”

Why You Should Start a Business in Your 20s. Plus . . .

The Free Press — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 10:01:58 GMT

Welcome back to The Weekend Press! Today, Spencer Klavan reviews “The Odyssey.” Joseph Epstein marks the 75th anniversary of “The Catcher in the Rye.” Joe Nocera sits down with magazine writer Rachel Aviv, who isn’t so sure her new book can break through our screen-addled minds. And more!

But first: Is everything we’re telling our young people wrong?

We live in an age obsessed with minimizing risk. Our institutions reward caution, young people delay commitment, and too many of our brightest college graduates are steered toward consulting, banking, and other well-worn careers where stability and security take precedence.

The problem is, nothing truly great is built that way.

In 1994, Canadian entrepreneur Ronnen Harary was 23, fresh out of college, and living with his mother in Toronto. He knew he wanted to start a business; he just wasn’t sure how. Then he came across a magazine ad for a quirky toy about the size of a softball, made from pantyhose, stuffed with sawdust and grass seed, and painted with a face. Soak it in water for a few days, and grass would sprout from the top like hair. It was called the Grass Head, and it was flying off the shelves in Israel.

“The spark hit me right there,” he writes in an exclusive excerpt from his new book, No Experience Necessary. “I was going to start a company to manufacture and sell Grass Heads in Canada.”

Three decades later, the company Harary co-founded, Spin Master, is worth about $2 billion and is behind some of the world’s most beloved children’s brands and toys, including PAW Patrol and Bakugan.

And the key to it all, he writes today, was starting the company when he was young.

“We didn’t have much money, and we had no real experience to speak of. What we did have was the promise of a road yet to be traveled, and the wide-eyed eagerness of three guys too young to be cynical about the world.”

“That turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to us.”

Read Harary’s case for betting on yourself in your 20s—and why every thriving civilization depends on young people willing to leap into the unknown.

(For more on “The Odyssey,” read Daniel Mendelsohn’s masterful essay from last week about why the epic poem has endured and enchanted us for millenia.)

Second Thought

This week on Second Thought, Suzy Weiss and Dan Ahdoot sit down with writer Allie Rowbottom to dig into her new novel, Lovers XXX, set in the cocaine-fueled “golden age” of Los Angeles’s adult film industry. They discuss the evolution of pornography, from VHS tapes to OnlyFans—and why feminists remain deeply divided over whether porn liberates women or exploits them. Click below to watch the video, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. And to keep up with all things Suzy, don’t miss her newsletter!

We’ve published a lot of stories worth catching up on this week, including Kat Rosenfield on what Olivia Wilde’s new movie says about polyamory, and Arthur Brooks on why artificial intelligence has no chance against the self-help industry. Plus, Nicholas Wyman tells the extraordinary story of how he discovered his grandfather was a hero of World War II . . .

How should you spend the rest of your weekend? We asked our senior writer and editor Joe Nocera for his recommendations . . .

📺Watch: Star City, which just completed its first eight-episode season on Apple TV, is superb; it’s a dark imagining of life in a compound (Star City) that revolves not just around space flight and cosmonauts, but spies, backstabbing, and treachery. The show comes from the same producers behind For All Mankind, a series that has run for five seasons and takes as its premise that the Soviets have beaten the U.S. in the space race, and NASA is desperately trying to catch up. I would describe For All Mankind as “meh.” Yet when its producers decided to tell a similar story from the Soviet point of view, they caught fire. Here’s hoping Star City gets five seasons too.

📖Read: You will not read a more infuriating book this year than Catch the Devil, by the great criminal justice writer Pamela Colloff. It’s a shocking tale of a snitch named Paul Skalnik, whose vivid, and usually last-minute, testimony helped convict more than a dozen men who he claimed “confessed” to him before their trials began—despite their protestations that they had never met him. The book has a lot to say about what’s wrong with the criminal justice system, with one story in particular—about a man, likely innocent, who has been on death row for over three decades thanks to Skalnik—that is heartbreaking. Colloff’s confrontation with Skalnik as he nears death is itself worth the price of admission.

👂Listen: The finest audio storyteller in America is Dan Taberski. (Sorry, Serial.) Over the years, he has produced such classics as Missing Richard Simmons, The Line, and Hysterical. His latest, produced by Audible, is called Manifesto, and it’s about, well, manifestos. Long manifestos (the Unabomber’s), short manifestos (Luigi Mangione’s), political manifestos (Karl Marx’s), and angry manifestos (tons of them). Its guiding light is the famous phrase shouted by Howard Beale in the movie Network: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.” How do you make a binge-worthy podcast about manifestos? That is Taberski’s gift.

Last but not least: As the World Cup comes to a close, feast your eyes on something beautiful: the Argentinian national team celebrating their second straight World Cup final.

Why ‘The Odyssey’ Still Enchants Us. Plus . . .

The Free Press — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 10:01:40 GMT

Welcome back to The Weekend Press! Today, “Little House on the Prairie” passes the test of time with flying colors. Suzy Weiss calls Taylor Swift’s wedding “psychotic.” Two drinks with Joe Allen, messiah of the anti-AI MAGA-ites. And much more!

But first: What kind of story can still unite the world?

There was once a time when we all watched the same shows, read the same books, experienced the same stories. No longer. We live in an age of great abundance—it would take about four years of continuous viewing to watch everything on Netflix—and it’s left the culture fragmented.

But this summer, one of the world’s ultimate stories—one that launched a thousand adaptations, translations, tributes; one that’s been on curricula for centuries; one you’ll know even if you never read it—is coming to a theater near you. Christopher Nolan’s star-studded take on The Odyssey is out Friday. And when we were talking about who we wanted to write about this wildly ambitious, culturally unifying blockbuster, one name was top of the list.

Daniel Mendelsohn started teaching undergraduate seminars on The Odyssey in 2011 at Bard College, where his 81-year-old father decided to attend his course. Six years later, he published a memoir about the experience of reading the epic with a father whose interpretation was constantly at odds with his own. Then, last year, he released a translation of his own, to great acclaim. He, too, can’t get this story out of his head. And we’re delighted to have him in our pages to explain why this story has endured for millennia.

In his piece, he argues that we all see ourselves in its complicated, cunning hero—described, in the epic’s first line, by a word notoriously hard to translate: polytropos. Roughly: “Having many turns.” “Who among us does not dream of travel, exposure to new places and ideas,” writes Daniel, “while simultaneously craving the stability that comes with having a home and security?”

Whereas the conflicts of The Iliad feel foreign—with its brutally violent heroes and gods watching war as we now watch the World Cup—we see in Odysseus the great, eternal, and internal battles of being human. And once you’ve read Daniel’s essay, you’ll see why he’s the perfect protagonist for one of our greatest living moviemakers. —The Editors

Second Thought

Taylor Swift has confirmed absolutely nothing about her wedding, except that it happened. But when you invite more than 1,000 people, details are going to get leaked—and Suzy Weiss pounced on them in the latest episode of Second Thought. There was a raffle? One of the prizes was a Chevrolet? They invited the British TV chef Jamie Oliver? Why? Along with her co-host Dan Ahdoot, Suzy unpacks it all. They also discussed the Korean company bringing your dead relatives back to life, and Team USA’s exit from the World Cup, which Suzy doesn’t care for anyway: “The fields are too big and the people are too small.” Don’t miss this hilarious episode. You can watch it below or listen wherever you get your podcasts; and for more Suzy, don’t miss her newsletter.

🍦Make . . . Popsicles. Simple, timeless, underrated. Who doesn’t love a cold Popsicle on a hot summer day? Just grab your favorite juice, pour it into a Popsicle mold, freeze, and voilà. If you’re feeling adventurous, mix a few juices together and throw in some fresh fruit. If you need a mold, here’s my favorite on Amazon. Let’s bring back the lost art of the homemade Popsicle.

🎵 Listen . . . to “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones. I’ll forever think this is one of the coolest and most mysterious songs ever written. On the surface, it’s an irresistible groove. But listen closely and you’ll hear a story about history, human nature, and the darkness ordinary people are capable of. The line “I shouted out who killed the Kennedys? / When after all, it was you and me” is pure genius.
