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.

For several other Nobels this year, however, my skepticism runs in […] Read more ›

It wasn’t long ago that Democrats embraced an unequivocally pro-immigrant stance. The party once defined its immigration platform in opposition to the policies of former President Donald Trump’s first term: separating families detained at the border, a travel ban on Muslim-majority countries, and efforts to gut the asylum system among them. In 2020, President Joe […] Read more ›

Here is a short and incomplete list of things that former President Donald Trump has done this week: Throughout these events, Trump has come off as (alternately) a buffoon and a would-be dictator. One minute, you’re laughing at his campy dance moves and Hindenburg car rants, the next you’re worrying that he really might try […] Read more ›

The deadly and destructive hurricanes this year have torn through enormous swaths of the country and reached places where people have never experienced such disasters in their lives.

Eight years ago, when Hillary Clinton seemed poised to be elected the first female president of the United States, it sometimes seemed as though the candidate and the media couldn’t talk about it enough. “I think it would be a great moment for our country,” Clinton told 60 Minutes about the possibility of becoming the […] Read more ›

The killing of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas and architect of the October 7 attacks, could be a pivotal moment in the war in Gaza and the wider conflict in the Middle East. It might even be an opportunity to end the fighting — but only if both sides of the war treat it […] Read more ›

If there’s one number worth paying attention to in the fight to protect nature, it’s this: $700 billion. That’s the sum in US dollars that experts say we need each year — in addition to more than $100 billion the world is already spending — to stop the decline of animals and ecosystems and all […] Read more ›

This story originally appeared in Kids Today, Vox’s newsletter about kids, for everyone. Sign up here for future editions. In high school, Jayden Dial worked on a podcast, planned school events, and made a film. That was on top of doing her homework and applying to college. But sometimes, she still felt like she wasn’t doing enough. […] Read more ›

Sleep tracking sounds like a dream. You get a gadget that tells you how you slept and then gives you tips on sleeping better and — boom — you’re better rested. As a parent of a young child, I know this is not how it would work for me, but I’ve been feeling desperate lately. […] Read more ›

Despite what a new HBO documentary suggests, the identity of one of the richest people in the world is still unknown. By now, the story is so famous that it’s taken on the aura of a creation myth: one day in early 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the inventor of bitcoin, released the […] Read more ›

For more than a year, Joseph Clifton Smith, a man who says he is intellectually disabled, has sat on death row, waiting to find out if the Supreme Court will greenlight his execution. Smith’s case, known as Hamm v. Smith, first arrived on the Court’s doorstep in August 2023. Since then, the justices have met […] Read more ›

When Joe Biden took office, the Democratic Party had been bleeding support among working-class voters for decades. At mid-century, America’s two parties were cleaved by class, with educated professionals backing the GOP and blue-collar workers voting Democratic. But starting in the 1960s, this class divide began narrowing gradually, as white voters with college diplomas drifted […] Read more ›

Fox News was never going to be a friendly venue for Vice President Kamala Harris. In an appearance on Special Report With Bret Baier, she was asked about some of the American right’s top fascinations and talking points: gender-affirming surgeries, Joe Biden’s mental acuity, the prospect of war with Iran. And — of course — […] Read more ›

The Nobel Prize in Economics awarded this week to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson allows a lot of people to feel like winners. (Especially those in the know who refer to the group by the acronym “AJR.”) The general public wins in that all three have, unusually for academic economists, written extensively for […] Read more ›

A Vox reader writes: “Why are car dealers so shady? How do consumers avoid them? Is it frustrating for everyone?” Americans have long hated the car-buying experience. It’s not uncommon to spend hours (or even the whole day) at a dealership, finally reaching a deal and still walking away feeling vaguely hoodwinked. “It’s a process […] Read more ›

My husband and I have been married for five years. During that time, a battalion of well-meaning relatives — starting with my parents and extending all the way to aunts and uncles — have tried to convince us to have children. Despite these persistent pleas, we aren’t convinced. The world just feels too chaotic and […] Read more ›

Personal finance is hard no matter what stage of life you’re in. But for Zoomers just entering the workforce, the challenges are also coupled with a lot of uncertainty.

There are few more influential right-wing scholars than the economist Friedrich Hayek — and few whose work is less compatible with the right’s ascendant Trumpian strain. Born in Austria in 1899, Hayek spent his career developing a wide-ranging libertarian social theory. Societies, for Hayek, emerge from the interplay of countless different systems and logics — […] Read more ›

Over the course of its last few terms, the Supreme Court has effectively placed itself in charge of the executive branch. It’s given itself an extra-constitutional veto power over virtually any policy decision made by a federal agency. Even when it ultimately rules in favor of President Joe Biden’s policies, it often sits on those […] Read more ›
