The next salvo in the crusade to ban abortion is now clear. Anti-abortion activists have launched what they’re privately calling “Rolling Thunder” — a coordinated campaign to pressure the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to restore restrictions on mifepristone, a popular drug used in the US to end pregnancies.

The most likely outcome is that the latest deadly flare-up between India and Pakistan will end relatively soon: In the little over 25 years that the two countries have possessed nuclear weapons, both have become very good at engaging in tense and violent confrontations without them escalating to threaten the entire planet. When he announced […] Read more ›

Five years ago, as death, panic, and viruses were spreading across the globe, the Trump administration announced it was halting collections of college debt. At the time, almost everyone agreed this was a good idea. “It is going to make a lot of students happy,” President Donald Trump remarked. This week, an entire Biden administration […] Read more ›

Vox reader Stefanos Nasiopoulos asks: How do instincts work in animals? Do they use the same mechanism as memories? How are they different from learned behavior? For example, when the tailorbird is actually sewing leaves to form a nest, does it understand what it’s doing? Or does it just feel a compulsion to do it […] Read more ›

I never appreciated how much I aspired toward conventional hotness until I got cancer and lost all my hair. As I underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy in 2023 to treat advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma, I became measurably “uglier”: bald, muscle-free and inflated by steroids, with only three eyelashes to my name. The Mitski lyric “But if […] Read more ›

If there’s one succinct way to describe Pope Francis’s stewardship of the Catholic Church over the last 12 years, it might best be done with three of his own words: “todos, todos, todos” — “everyone, everyone, everyone.” Now, Pope Leo XIV, the church’s new leader and its first American pope, has signaled he plans to […] Read more ›

Universal pre-K, an ambitious social program usually championed by progressives, has been in place in one of the most conservative US states since 1998. Oklahoma’s universal pre-K program was just the second in the country (behind Georgia) and has since become a model for how these programs can boost school readiness, economic well-being, and community […] Read more ›
