Planeload of formula
arrives from GermanyA U.S. military plane filled
with more than 70,000 pounds of
baby formula arrived in
Indianapolis on Sunday from
Germany, part of Operation Fly
Formula, a Biden administration
initiative that aims to quickly
increase supplies amid a
national shortage.
Shortly after 11 a.m., a C- 17
loaded with Nestlé’s Alfamino
Infant and Alfamino Junior
formula — both hypoallergenic
formulas that can be fed to
babies intolerant of protein in
cow’s milk — arrived at
Indianapolis International
Airport, where the plane was
greeted by Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack.
At the airport, Vilsack told
reporters that the formula would
“take care of 9,000 babies and
18,000 toddlers for a week.”
An additional 114 pallets of
Gerber Good Start Extensive HA
formula will be dispatched “in
the coming days,” the White
House said. Together, the
shipments are enough to fill
about 1.5 million eight-ounce
bottles.
The Biden administration also
announced Sunday that it woulduse the Defense Production Act
to give two companies priority
on ingredients or equipment
necessary to manufacture
formula. Abbott Nutrition will be
able to make priority orders for
sugar and corn syrup. Reckitt
will be able to place priority
orders for filters that have been
constrained during the
pandemic.
A second military flight will
also transport Nestlé formula
from Ramstein Air Base in
Germany to Washington Dulles
International Airport in the
coming days. FedEx Express will
then ship the formula to a Nestlé
plant in Pennsylvania.
The defense secretary
approved military aircraft for the
shipments on Friday evening,
because no commercial aircraft
were available.
Brian Deese, director of the
National Economic Council,
estimated that the formula
supplies in Sunday’s shipment
would cover about 15 percent of
the overall volume needed in the
United States for specialty
medical-grade formula.
The imports will fill
immediate gaps while also
buying time for domestic
manufacturers to boost
production.

Unvaccinated cadets
won’t become officersThree cadets at the Air Force
Academy who have refused
coronavirus vaccination will not
be commissioned as officers but
will graduate with bachelor’s
degrees, the academy said.
Academy spokesman Dean
Miller said Saturday that a
fourth cadet who had refused
vaccination until about a week
ago decided to be vaccinated and
will graduate and become an Air
Force officer.
In a s tatement, Miller said a
decision on whether to require
the three to reimburse the
United States for education costs
in lieu of service will be made by
the secretary of the Air Force.
As of Saturday, the Air Force
was the only military academy
where cadets were not being
commissioned because of
vaccine refusal.
— Associated PressN.Y. subway passenger fatally
shot: An unidentified gunman
shot and killed another
passenger on a moving New York
City subway train Sunday in
what police officials said
appeared to be an unprovoked
attack. The shooting happenedon a Q train traveling over the
Manhattan Bridge about
11:40 a.m., when subway cars are
often filled with families, tourists
and people headed to brunch.
Witnesses told police the
gunman was pacing the last car
of the train, “and without
provocation, pulled out a gun
and fired it at the victim at close
range,” said Kenneth Corey, the
NYPD’s chief of department. The
48-year-old victim died at a
hospital and was later identified
by police as Daniel Enriquez of
Brooklyn. The shooter fled after
the train arrived at the Canal
Street station in Manhattan.
Police were reviewing security
video to try to identify him.Senate candidate in Pa. out of
hospital: Pennsylvania Lt. Gov.
John Fetterman, the Democratic
nominee in the state’s U.S.
Senate contest, has been released
from the hospital after more
than a week following a stroke,
his wife and his campaign said
Sunday. Fetterman, 52, won the
nomination while in the
hospital, beating Rep. Conor
Lamb, just hours after surgery to
implant a pacemaker with a
defibrillator to help him recover.
Atrial fibrillation, a heart
condition, caused the stroke,
Fetterman said.

BY ASHLEY PARKER
In 2015, Kellyanne Conway
found herself en route to pick up
her kids at elementary school,
simultaneously pushing back
against an attempt by Michael
Cohen — then Donald Trump’s
personal attorney and fixer — to
rig the annual Conservative Polit-
ical Action Conference’s buzzy
straw poll, which her firm was
running, in Trump’s favor.
“ ‘M r. Trump’ needed to come
in first in the PAC straw poll,”
Conway recounted that Cohen
told her in a phone call. “He
repeated himself. Mr. Trump
needed to come in first.”
Four years later, firmly en-
sconced in the White House as
senior counselor to Trump as
president, Conway said she found
herself again facing the surreal,
when Trump’s daughter Ivanka
handed her a Post-it note with
“the names of two local doctors
who specialized in couples thera-
py.”
The marriage between Conway
and her husband had erupted
into public view when George T.
Conway III began attacking
Trump on Twitter, and Conway
said Ivanka was responding to
her own openness about seeking
professional support.
“I noticed she had avoided put-
ting that in a text or an email. I
appreciated the information and
her thoughtfulness and wanted to
pursue it,” Conway recalled. “Af-
ter I showed George the names,
he rejected one and said a half-
hearted ‘okay’ to the other while
looking at his phone. We never
went.”
These scenes and others are
part of Conway’s nearly 500-page
new memoir, “Here’s the Deal,”
which The Washington Post ob-
tained in advance of its Tuesday
publication.
Part personal chronicle and
part political journey, Conway’s
book is filled with the sorts of
barbed one-liners and bon mots
that she dispensed on cable news
on Trump’s behalf, becoming —
depending on one’s perspective —
increasingly famous or infamous.
Unlike many other Trump-
focused tomes in the post-
presidency era, Conway has not
set out to pen a scathing tell-all, in
which she distances herself from
the president or administration
she once served.
Her memoir is peppered with
references to “Trump Derange-
ment Syndrome” — a term she
uses to refer to the media and the
political left, who she says were
unable to accept the reality that
Trump vanquished Hillary Clin-
ton in 2016. Conway is also among
the relatively small group of staff-
ers who managed to leave the
White House still in Trump’s in-
ner circle.
Her book walks a similar line,
offering what she views as a can-
did assessment of some of her
colleagues in the White House
and the media — both positive
and negative — but never skewer-
ing Trump himself.
Conway reserves some of her
harshest criticism for Jared Kush-
ner, Ivanka’s husband and a
Trump senior adviser, whom shedescribes as “shrewd and calcu-
lating”; “a man of knowing nods,
quizzical looks, and sidebar in-
quiries”; and someone who, as
the president’s son-in-law, knew
that “no matter how disastrous a
personnel change or legislative
attempt may be, he was unlikely
to be held accountable for it.”
“There was no subject he con-
sidered beyond his expertise.
Criminal justice reform. Middle
East peace. The southern and
northern borders. Veterans and
opioids. Big Tech and small busi-
ness,” she writes. “If Martian at-
tacks had come across the radar,
he would have happily added
them to his ever-bulging portfo-
lio. He’d have made sure you
knew he’d exiled the Martians to
Uranus and insisted he did not
care who got credit for it. He
misread the Constitution in one
crucial respect, thinking that all
power not given to the federal
government was reserved to
him.”
As an example of what she calls
Kushner’s “schemes and dreams,”
she later in the book recounts a
scuttled immigration rollout plan
in which Kushner suggested
Trump “go to Ellis Island, where
he’d stand at the foot of the Statue
of Liberty to lead a naturalization
ceremony.”
Conway says that her tension
with Kushner came, in part, be-
cause he accused her of leaking to
the media as a way to undermine
her credibility with Trump — a
charge she denies.
A Kushner ally said his portfo-
lio included some of the adminis-
tration’s biggest successes: a
criminal justice reform bill, the
USMCA trade deal, the Abraham
Accords in the Middle East and
the Operation Warp Speed coro-
navirus vaccine effort.
Conway also takes fleeting aim
at Paul Manafort, the short-lived
chair of Trump’s 2016 presiden-
tial campaign. Manafort, she
writes, “literally fell asleep during
my PowerPoint on how to close
the gender gap with Hillary. (He
must have been on Ukraine
time.).”
And Conway describes Reince
Priebus, the former chair of the
Republican National Committee
who served as Trump’s first chief
of staff, as “thoroughly conserva-
tive but not remotely MAGA,” a
reference to Trump’s Make Amer-
ica Great Again campaign slogan.
Conway depicts Priebus as fun-
damentally not understanding
the Trump movement; when Con-
way pressed a skeptical Priebus to
allow a number of administration
officials to address CPAC, the an-
nual conservative gathering, hetold her, “That’s because you love
the crazies, Kellyanne, and they
love you,” she writes.
Priebus had spoken at CPAC
almost every year since becoming
RNC chair, including in 2017,
when he and Stephen K. Bannon,
a former top Trump adviser, ad-
dressed the gathering together.
Priebus declined to comment.
She also pulls no punches
against much of the Trump White
House’s team of coronavirus ex-
perts — particularly Anthony S.
Fauci, the director of the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases — whom she depicts as
slow to comprehend the magni-
tude of the virus in its early days,
as well as donning masks in pub-
lic but not always in private.
“No masks was standard fare in
the White House Situation Room,
where Dr. Fauci was more likely
to wear ‘Dr. Fauci’ socks than a
mask,” she writes. “Then, like
magic, when D. Myles Cullen, the
vice president’s photographer,
came into the room, masks would
suddenly appear.”
Fauci did not respond to a
request for comment.
The book also offers a more
personal side of Conway, as well
as her relationship with Trump.
She writes of growing up in an
Italian Catholic female house-
hold, after her father left, when
she was 3, without providing
child support or alimony.
“I’d be raised by strong wom-
en,” she writes, explaining her
reaction when Kushner, Priebus
and B annon offered a chilly re-
ception upon learning Trump had
asked her to join his administra-
tion as counselor to the president.
“For as long as I could remember,
I’d been manhandling jealous lit-
tle boys.”
Later in the book — in a section
on Supreme Court Justice Brett
M. Kavanaugh’s contentious con-
firmation hearings, and without
delving into the specifics — Con-
way also shares that, “unbe-
knownst to the public,” she was “a
victim of sexual assault.”
Trump has been accused of
sexual assault and misconduct by
more than a dozen women. Dur-
ing his 2016 campaign, an “Access
Hollywood” video emerged of
him boasting about groping
women against their will.
Conway, however, depicts
Trump as a feminist who repeat-
edly supported and promoted
her, allowing her to make history
as the first women to manage a
winning presidential campaign.
“Donald Trump had elevated
and empowered me to the top of
his campaign, helping me crack
glass ceilings that had never evenbeen dinged before,” she writes,
adding that “angry feminists”
should “have at least once in their
lives a ‘girl boss’ as generous,
respectful, engaging, and em-
powering as Donald Trump was
to me and my other female col-
leagues.”
Themes of family and mother-
hood also run through the book,
with Conway writing about com-
ing up as a woman in a male-
dominated industry and — with
chapters like “Cheerful Chaos,”
“Kid Power” and “Mom Guilt” —
both the joys and challenges of
being a working parent and a
working mom, in particular.
Nevertheless, Conway man -
ages to ascend to the White House
with Trump. And in the spring of
2020, Conway recalls sitting in
the Oval Office with Trump, who
muses that without Twitter, he
would not have been elected:
“True enough, but as I reminded
him, with respect to social media,
‘Make sure it doesn’t get you
unelected.’ ”
Later, after he had lost his
reelection bid, Conway observes,
“Trump was more shocked to lose
in 2020, I think, than he was to
win in 2016.”
In the waning days of his presi-
dency, Conway also writes that,
during a discussion with Trump
on pardons and clemency, he
turned to her and asked, “Do you
want one?”
“Do you know something I
don’t?” Kellyanne asked Trump,
she writes. “Why would I need a
pardon?”
“Because they go after every-
one, honey. It doesn’t matter,”
Trump replied, according the
book.
“I politely declined,” she con-
cludes.
Some of the rawest material in
her book deals with her marriage,
which became a source of inside-
the-Beltway fascination — and
media coverage — as George Con-
way ramped up his Twitter at-
tacks on his wife’s boss.
Kellyanne Conway devotes
portions early in her book to her
husband’s romantic courtship of
her, as well as his fulsome support
of her taking on the role of
Trump’s campaign manager and
even of Trump himself. Which
made her all the more confused,
she says, when he began criticiz-
ing Trump publicly.
“For the first time since George
and I had gotten serious, I was
looking at the possibility that the
man who had always had my back
might one day stab me in it,” she
writes.
As George’s tweeting ramps up,
Conway writes that she “didn’t
want to be stuck in a cable news
segment in the master bedroom,”
and the growing reality that she
had “two men” in her life.
“One was my husband. One
was my boss, who happened to be
president of the United States,”
she writes. “One of those men was
defending me. And it wasn’t
George Conway. It was Donald
Trump.”
In the Afterword, Conway de-
scribes vying with Twitter for her
husband’s time and attention and
asks, “And why would I even try?,”
she wrote, equating Twitter with
another woman. “She has no per-
sonality and she’s not even hot.”
She ends the book on an opti-
mistic note — except, perhaps, for
her marriage.
“Democracy will survive.
America will survive,” she writes.
“George and I may not survive.”Conway’s book filled with one-liners
