Overview

• Semafor reported that new global editorial director Mark Guiducci has told people he is potentially interested in featuring First Lady Melania Trump on a future Vanity Fair cover, with no final decision announced.
• The Daily Mail quoted anonymous staffers threatening to resign over such a move, including a mid-level editor who said they would "walk out the motherf—ing door."
• Other Vanity Fair employees, also speaking anonymously, characterized the threats as performative and predicted protests rather than resignations.
• On Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade urged staff to identify the unnamed dissenter and said they "should be fired," while Ainsley Earhardt pledged to buy multiple copies if the cover appears.
• Melania Trump did not appear on U.S. Condé Nast covers during the first Trump term and has previously said she has no interest in magazine covers, and representatives for Condé Nast and the first lady offered no immediate comment.
