1 big thing... Scoop: Hillary's next steps

Clinton speaks in New York yesterday / Reuters' Brendan McDermid

Hillary Clinton soon will launch a PAC as a way of "act=ng as a quiet catalyst" for organizations she cares about, and eventually =ill help 2018 congressional candidates — but with no intention of =aking it a vehicle to run for anything herself.

According t= a source familiar with the planning, the initial focus will be o= lifting up organizations that are the product of the energy and activism =he has seen since the election, and existing groups that have been reignit=d and reinvigorated by that energy. She has met with some of these groups,=and it's something she's become increasingly passionate about with each me=ting, the source said.

The posture: She's not =oing to look for ways to comment on Trump's daily doings, but also won't s=y away from it. An unwritten rule around her office has been to allow for = peaceful transition of power (evidenced by her attending inauguration), b=t to not stand by when POTUS is doing things she sees as counter to her co=e values. That has been reflected in her Twitter and public remarks.
<=i>Clinton also plans to return to paid speaking. The Harr= Walker Agency, her speakers' bureau, has a page up inviting clients to "<= href="http://link.axios.com/click/9526627.32106/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5oYXJyeXd=bGtlci5jb20vc3BlYWtlcnMvaGlsbGFyeS1yb2RoYW0tY2xpbnRvbi8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZX=zbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXJfYXhpb3Nhb=/5871993924c17c54d77a8b8cBb5e639cd" target="_blank">Book Hillary Rodham =linton."

She's writing a book, =a href="http://link.axios.com/click/9526627.32106/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem=uLmNvbS9VbnRpdGxlZC1NZW1vaXItSGlsbGFyeS1Sb2RoYW0tQ2xpbnRvbi9kcC8xNTAxMTc1N=Y0P3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1u=XdzbGV0dGVyX2F4aW9zYW0/5871993924c17c54d77a8b8cB8fe46ef2" target="_blank=>coming this fall, that's organized around pieces of advice she has re=eived throughout her career that have sustained her in hard times. She use= these truisms to revisit times she has been put to the test, including th= last campaign.

At about the same time, she'll p=blish "It Takes a Village: Picture Book Edition," illustrated by two-time =aldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee. See the cover.

=linton received massive coverage for remarks she made in New York yesterday, in =n appearance moderated by CNN's Christiane Amanpour at the Women for Women=International Luncheon:

On writing=her book: "I wouldn't say it's therapy. I would say it is cathart=c. Because, you know, it's very difficult to succeed a two-term president =f your own party. ... [O]thers may not have realized it. I always knew tha= it was going to be a hard election."

"I can't be anything=other than who I am, and I spent decades learning about what it w=uld take to move our country forward, including people who, you know, clea=ly didn't vote for me, to try to make sure we dealt with a lot these hard =ssues that are right around the corner, like robotics and artificial intel=igence and things that are really going to be upending the economy for the=vast majority of the Americans, to say nothing of the rest of the world.
"So you know, I'm now back to being an activist citizen and =art of the resistance." (Cheers and applause=)

2. The Jimmy Kimmel effect

"Jimmy Kimmel Live"

An Obama White House alumnus told me last night that Ji=my Kimmel killed the Republicans' already shaky efforts to revive the Hous='s health-care reform. (In prime time last night, CNN was running the ban=er: "LATEST GOP HEALTH CARE BILL ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE." The WashPost's lea= story is "GOP health bill on shaky ground.")

The insta=t ubiquity of the late-night host tearfully discussing his baby B=lly's open-heart surgery, along with a message decrying Trump's proposed c=ts to the National Institutes of Health ("If your baby is going to die, ..= it should not matter how much money you make"), is an eye-opening case st=dy of the stunning velocity of the new media ecosystem.

I =sked Sara Fischer, Axios' media-trends reporter, if there was a w=y to quantify the reach of the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" monologue, beyond the 7=million views on his official YouTube =age. Ninety minutes later, she sent a fascinating breakdown.

Kimmel typically reaches roughly 2 million p=ople per night on his show. You'll never believe what happened next ...

Social:

On Facebook,=Kimmel's monologue clip received over 14 million views and 230,000 reactio=s in less than 24 hours. His posts typically don't receive more than 1 mil=ion views.

On Instagram, the video post of his m=nologue received 122,968 views and 20,022 likes. That's about double his a=erage Instagram post engagement.

His tweet of th= video received over 26,000 retweets and 79,000 likes. His tweets don't ty=ically earn more than a couple hundred retweets.

Searc=:

Interest in "Jimmy Kimmel" on Goog=e Search rose rapidly through the morning and spiked at midday, along wi=h searches for "cardiac surgery" and "open-heart surgery."=/li>

Weighing in:

Both President Obama and Hillary Clinton tweeted t=eir support, as well as numerous celebrities.

On=Capitol Hill, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), cited the speech on the House floor.=Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), now a syndicated radio talk-show host, was=ripped online after he tweeted: "Sorry Jimmy=Kimmel: your sad story doesn't obligate me or anybody else to pay for some=ody else's health care."

3. Coming attractions

Trump talks with reporters as he walks to the Oval Office yesterday / AP=s Evan Vucci

Trump tweeted yesterday: "The reason for the plan negot=ated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the=Senate which are not there! We either elect more Republican Senators in 20=8 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good 'shutdo=n' in September to fix mess!"

My White House sources tell me this will =e the time to fight for real 'wins' — like funding the border wall= That will lead to an inevitable standoff with Democrats and possi=ly a government shutdown."

4. Signs of our times

USA Today lead story, "Friction between world's nuclear powers has ci=izens terrified that the end is near," by Rick Hampson: "In multiple inter=iews by USA Today, Americans expressed concern that the U.S. was edging cl=ser to nuclear war.."

Thank you for that, USA Today: "The actual proximity of World War III is hard to gauge. War between=great powers need not be nuclear, and even nuclear exchanges need not esca=ate into world war."

5. How Trump tries to play reporters

Lazaro Gamio / Axios

A close read of Trump's whirlwind of 100-days interview= shows that he continues to embrace one of the obsessions that helped him =in the presidency: his instinctive understanding of reporters' psychology.=/p>
Axios' Jonathan Swan noticed this in Trump's off-hand asides during the interviews, which are the freshest =xamples of the flip side to his media hatred — he eats up the cove=age because he's his own audience:

Here's Trump satisf=ing the White House reporters' most primal urge — the nee= to break exclusive news: "Well, I'm just telling you, I — I haven=t even mentioned this to anybody. I mean, I'm giving you something first."=(To Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs and Margaret Talev, when he told them he w=s open to raising the gas tax to fund infrastructure investment.)

=strong>"Breaking — we have breaking news. Is this going t= be breaking news, Jennifer?" (To Bloomberg's Jacobs, as Trump reveals his=willingness to meet with Kim Jong-Un. He knew this would be controversial =nd would generate the type of headline every reporter craves.)

More examples here.

6. Ivanka's book non-tour

Ivanka Trump doesn't plan a traditional publiclity tour=for her new book, "Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules of Success," out ye=terday. Per AP's =atherine Lucey: "Trump has stressed that the book is a personal projec= written before her father. ... Citing federal ethics rules, she has said =.. she wanted to 'avoid the appearance of using my official role to promot= the book.'"

Ivanka Trump tweeted "on Monday a=d Tuesday from her personal account about the book, noting the charities t=at will receive grants" from book proceeds.

"Jamie Gorelic=, an attorney for Trump, said she had received advice from the Of=ice of Government Ethics that she could use her personal social media acco=nts to post about the book."

The narrative, f=om a New Yor= Times front-pager: "By inserting herself into a scalding set of gende= dynamics, she is becoming a proxy for dashed dreams of a female presidenc= and the debate about President Trump's record of conduct toward women and=his views on them. Critics see her efforts as a brash feat of Trump promot=on ... by a woman of extraordinary privilege who has learned that feminism=makes for potent branding."

7. Kushner to release updated disclosure form

Wall Street Journal front page, "Kushner's Partners Include Goldman and Soros," by Jean Eaglesh=m, Juliet Chung and Lisa Schwartz: "Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-=aw and senior adviser, is currently in business with Goldman Sachs Group I=c. and billionaires George Soros and Peter Thiel, according to people fami=iar with the matter and securities filings."

"The previ=usly undisclosed business relationships ... are through a real-es=ate tech startup called Cadre that Mr. Kushner cofounded and currently par=ly owns."

"The Cadre stake is one of many interes=s — and ties to large financial institutions — that Mr. Ku=hner didn't identify on his government financial-disclosure form, accordin= to a Wall Street Journal review of securities and other filings..'
"Jamie Gorelick, a lawyer representing Mr. =ushner, said ... his stake in Cadre is housed in a company he owns, BFPS V=ntures LLC. His ownership of BFPS is reported on his disclosure form.""Gorelick said the Cadre stake is descri=ed in a revised version of his disclosure form that will be made public af=er it has been certified by ethics officials."

8. Amazing business stat of the day

Most of Aetna's revenue now comes from government progr=ms, per Axios' Bob Herman:

"Here's a nugget that encapsulates=the health insurance industry, despite all the noise surrounding the futur= of the Affordable Care Act: In the first quarter of this year, Aetna

9. Tucker Carlson's 2-book, 8 figure deal

The Fox News host and longtime conservative commentator= who turns 48 later this month, has a two-book deal with Threshold Editio=s, per AP National Wr=ter Hillel Italie:

Carlson has become one =f Fox's biggest names with the departures of Megyn Kelly and Bill O'Reilly= Numerous publishers had expressed interest, according to his literary age=cy, Javelin.

Threshold, a conservative imprint of=Simon & Schuster, has also released books by PresidentTrump and former=Vice President Cheney.

10. 1 fun thing

Coming to Disney World on May 27, per L.A. Times' Todd Martens: Disney hopes to amplify=that immersion with its most technically ambitious land to date: Pandora =E2�� the World of Avatar, situated in Animal Kingdom in the Orlando re=ort."

"Instead of re-creating s=enes from the film or simply populating the park with characters =een in the movie, Disney's Pandora expands on the universe. Set about a ge=eration after the conflict in the film, this Pandora is a postwar planet o= the road to rehabilitation, emphasizing themes of conservation and explor=tion."
