When a president gives a primetime televised speech, it is typically about something of serious import: to make the case for a major new policy or to announce the beginning of a war. President Donald Trump’s speech on Wednesday night had no grave significance. In fact, there didn’t seem to be much of a point […] Read more ›

Since its arrival on Netflix in December, the Spanish-language French film Emilia Pérez has been a nesting doll of controversies. The musical, directed by Jacques Audiard, has been slammed by critics and on social media for its regressive portrayal of trans identity. The film has also been critiqued for its “Eurocentric” depiction of Mexico — […] Read more ›

A Vox reader asks: Can you explain how tariffs work? How will imposing tariffs impact the everyday lives of Americans? According to President Donald Trump, “tariffs is the most beautiful word in the dictionary,” surpassed only by God, religion, and love. Trump has also claimed, as he did shortly after his inauguration, that “tariffs are […] Read more ›

The US, apparently, is becoming increasingly averse to parties. As The Atlantic noted last month, only an average of 4.1 percent of Americans attended or hosted social events on an average weekend or holiday in 2023. The problem isn’t due to a lack of desire: Most people are happy with the number of friends they […] Read more ›

Just over two weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump has already thrown American democracy into crisis. On his first day in office, the president pardoned those who had violently stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a bid to obstruct his removal from power. He then fired more than a dozen federal prosecutors […] Read more ›

A leader who voters rejected several years ago returns to power, largely thanks to discontent with the incumbent party’s economic performance. Almost immediately upon taking office, the leader launches a blitzkrieg designed to strengthen his personal grip on power. He claims unprecedented power over the budget, fires the leaders of government oversight agencies, and places […] Read more ›

The United States, despite being the richest country in the world and a biopharmaceutical powerhouse, has long struggled with drug shortages. At any given time, up to 100 or more — sometimes many more — drugs are not readily available to American patients, largely because drug manufacturing operates with very little slack that leaves it […] Read more ›

At this particular moment, I’m feeling a little bad about myself. This profession I’ve chosen — and really, this life that I lead — relies so heavily on attention and metrics and reposts and “HAHA” reacts that I often feel like a dog doing their best tricks waiting for a treat. I could take this […] Read more ›

Humans have always tried to glimpse the future. Our methods have improved — from the stars and tarot cards to tremendously complex election forecasts. People love predictions, making them and reading about them. How else to explain the popularity of palm readers and legal gambling markets for sports, politics, and more?

Donald Trump and JD Vance were officially sworn in as the 47th president and vice president of the United States on Monday, January 20, 2025, in Washington, DC. Their inauguration looked different from previous years, in part because it was held inside the Capitol Rotunda, instead of outside the US Capitol, as a polar vortex […] Read more ›

“In my view, climate change is real and it is an existential threat.” “My inclination is to take dams down.” “The toxic chemicals that pollute our air, our water, our soils end up in our own bodies. They ruin our health in the same way that they ruin nature.” Those might sound like comments from […] Read more ›

About two and a half months ago, I wrote a piece about what foreign aid might look like in the second Trump term. Reading that piece now feels bizarre. I thought that Trump’s second term would look much like his first: lots of proposals to cut foreign aid funding, pushed back on by Republicans in […] Read more ›

The first few weeks of Donald Trump’s second presidency have put Democrats in a frustrating bind. He’s thrown so much at them (and at the nation), that they’re having serious trouble figuring out what to respond to — let alone how. He’s signed dozens of executive orders; attempted serious power grabs and overhauls of the […] Read more ›

Once a year, typically after sunset in the late summer, the coral baby-making process begins. Large colonies of coral spawn, spewing out sperm and eggs, often in pea-size bundles, that drift around until they encounter the spawn of other corals. Fertilized eggs turn into coral larvae — tiny and squishy free-swimming organisms — which eventually […] Read more ›
