Some archaeologists believe that when future civilizations sort through the debris of our modern era, we won’t be defined by the skyscraper, the iPhone, or the automobile, but rather something humbler: the chicken bone. The reason? We eat so many chickens. So, so many. In 2022 alone, people around the world consumed over 75 billion […] Read more ›

On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that a staffer at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) resigned after the paper inquired about some racist social media posts from an account linked to him.

Welcome to The Logoff. Today, I’m focusing on a fight over control of the Treasury Department’s payment system, a legal battle with big implications for our democracy. At stake is Congress’s ability to keep control over government spending, a critical (and constitutional) check on Donald Trump’s power. What’s the latest? A federal judge on Thursday signed off […] Read more ›

It’s a safe bet that much of what President Donald Trump described in two press availabilities at the White House alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, as well as a follow-up social media post, is not going to happen.

President Donald Trump’s first weeks back in the White House have been nothing short of dizzying. He kicked off his second presidency with a fury of policy actions — imposing (then postponing) tariffs on Canada and Mexico; barring transgender people from serving and enlisting in the military; and eliminating many US foreign aid programs.

Over the last few years, I’ve written a lot about degrowth ideology, the view that the only way to save the planet is to abandon economic growth as an objective. Degrowthers sometimes say uncontroversial things like that GDP isn’t the only thing that matters in the world and sometimes say more controversial ones like that […] Read more ›

A few weeks ago, I was wandering down a grocery store aisle when I encountered the most expensive eggs I’d ever seen. The price for a dozen eggs was very nearly in the double-digits. Sure, I was in New York City, one of the most expensive cities in the country. But still! Did that mean […] Read more ›

BLOOMING PRAIRIE, Minnesota — In 2014, Lowell Trom hit a breaking point. For two decades, he had watched as his small farming community in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, was taken over by hog factory farms. The first one was built in 1993. Five years later, another one went up. By 2014, there were 10, housing around […] Read more ›

At their peak, the devastating wildfires that ignited around Los Angeles in January forced upward of 200,000 people to evacuate and torched more than 16,000 homes, offices, and shops. The total economic losses may reach as high as $275 billion. Now the blazes are fully contained and have mostly died down. As Angelenos grapple with […] Read more ›

I believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther … And one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. I’m […] Read more ›

Vox reader Jo Nà Coinnigh asks: Why do American politics (especially the presidential election) affect not just the US, but the entire world?

One of America’s favorite pastimes, right up there with baseball and gimmick food, is generational disdain. Gen Z is experiencing the same hot scrutiny that millennials, Gen X, and even baby boomers were subject to.
