Physicists have longed for a theory of everything, a single framework that would explain every force in the universe. After the better part of a century, they’re still looking. But social science, improbably, may have beaten them to it. In 2021, three British writers — John Myers, Sam Bowman, and Ben Southwood — published an […] Read more ›

Here’s what’s undeniable: The Democratic electorate has dramatically shifted when it comes to the United States’ relationship with Israel.

About a year ago, the Supreme Court handed down a baffling decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood (2025). In Medina, South Carolina committed an obvious violation of federal Medicaid law, but the Court’s Republican majority seemed to bend over backward to prevent the patients affected by this legal violation from suing to enforce their rights.

Let’s be frank: When you go to see your personal doctor or stop at an urgent care for a quick visit, you probably don’t always tell the physician the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
