In media and politics, timing is everything — which leaves many people wondering why journalist and author Michael Wolff waited until mere days before the presidential election to drop a bombshell: what he says are recordings of Jeffrey Epstein discussing his intimate friendship with Republican candidate Donald Trump. Wolff, author of Fire and Fury, a […]

While the Apple Watch was introduced at Apple's September 2014 iPhone event, it was not released until April 2015.... Read more ›

The results aren’t in yet, but if Donald Trump ends up winning the 2024 presidential election and regaining the presidency, he could radically reshape international politics.

Illustration: Cath Virginia / The Verge; Photo: Getty Images Elon Musk is a busy man right now. He’s supposedly running X, SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink, all while actively campaigning for Trump. But despite those myriad concerns, Musk still finds the time to play Diablo 4. He’s even said he’s pretty good at it, claiming in a recent interview with Joe Rogan that he’s in the top 20 of Diablo 4... Read more ›

Image: Kristen Radtke / The Verge; Getty Images Arizona resident Jacqueline McAferty is suing Elon Musk and his pro-Trump America PAC in a Texas federal court, alleging that the PAC’s $1 million-a-day lottery to registered voters in swing states was fraud. The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed a day after a Philadelphia judge denied the city’s request to order Musk to end the lottery — and seems to have been... Read more ›

American automaker General Motors (GM) last year announced it would be phasing out support for CarPlay and Android Auto in its new electric vehicles, in favor of its own software platform called Ultifi. The decision has been very controversial, as many drivers consider CarPlay to be a must-have feature in a new vehicle. In 2022, for example, Apple said 79% of U.S. buyers would only consider a vehicle that works... Read more ›

The Supreme Court issued a surprising order on Wednesday morning that allows Virginia’s Republican governor to openly defy a federal voting rights law. Though the Court didn’t announce how every justice voted in Beals v. Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, only its three Democrats publicly dissented. The GOP-controlled Court’s order is surprising because the federal […] Read more ›

If you’re confused, it’s not an accident. Republicans are trying to have it both ways on health care during the 2024 campaign. They boast that they want to deregulate insurance and massively cut government spending, yet they also claim that they would never do anything to endanger people’s coverage. That two-step keeps getting them into […] Read more ›

In the game Jenga, players take turns removing wooden blocks from a rickety tower and then stacking them back on the top. Each removed piece makes the base more wobbly; each block put back on top makes it more unbalanced until it eventually topples. This, I’d argue, is basically how we should be thinking about […] Read more ›

Joe Biden is no longer competent at speaking in public. This makes him a poor surrogate for Kamala Harris’s campaign, but he is also the president, and therefore an extremely prominent surrogate for the Democratic nominee. This generated a problem for Harris Tuesday night when Biden set out to criticize dehumanizing rhetoric at a recent […] Read more ›

In 2016, when Donald Trump was first elected president, today’s 18-year-olds were only 10. So when footage leaked of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women in that year’s truly horrifying October surprise, they didn’t fully understand what the tape meant or know what to make of it, if they were even aware of it at […] Read more ›

With mere days left on the 2024 political campaign trail, you might have noticed the Trump camp has increasingly turned to scapegoating familiar targets, including immigrants, the press, and women. It has also increasingly doubled down on attacks on trans people. A recent report by ABC News revealed that nearly a third of recent campaign […] Read more ›

If you were a Roman citizen around 200 BCE, you might have assumed that Rome was going to last forever.

On Friday evening, the Supreme Court ruled it would leave in place a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that made it marginally easier for certain voters in the state to cast a ballot. The Republican Party had asked the justices to block that decision; doing so would have likely disenfranchised thousands of voters. But that won’t […] Read more ›

Elon Musk has arguably done more than any single individual to aid Donald Trump’s campaign. The mega-billionaire has put more than $75 million toward electing the former president, turned America’s most politically influential social media platform into a vehicle for right-wing propaganda, orchestrated a (shambolic) get-out-the-vote effort, and repeatedly appeared beside Trump on the campaign […] Read more ›

As Election Day approaches, anxiety is naturally rising over whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will win. But there’s reason to be anxious about another prospect, too: just what Trump and his supporters will do if Harris wins narrowly.
