When I began planning this newsletter, I thought through what kind of antipoverty solutions I’d want to dig into, from expanding programs like the child tax credit to proposing new, ambitious policies like baby bonds. But then I thought about how the United States already has a lot of antipoverty programs in place. So before […] Read more ›

In large barns across the US, packed with gates, crates, and hollering farmhands, animals are unloaded, pushed around, reloaded, and hauled away. Those who survive the chaos are sold to the highest bidder, to be killed for their meat. Those unable to cope with the hectic pace, intense heat, and harsh treatment are injured and […] Read more ›

It’s not an overstatement to say that Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is former President Donald Trump’s biggest fanboy — and patron — in the 2024 election. He’s literally, and comically, leaping at Trump’s side at rallies. He’s tweeting (including, frequently, dog whistles and misinformation). And to […] Read more ›

A massive gender gap has been evident in poll after poll of this election — a significant trend that underscores the pivotal role women could play this November. Most recently, a late October Quinnipiac survey of Michigan found 57 percent of women in the state back Vice President Kamala Harris, while 40 percent of men […] Read more ›

Beyoncé wasn’t just on the playlist at Vice President Kamala Harris’s Houston rally on Friday, she was also a special guest. The question is just how much Beyoncé can help Harris. The rally in deep-red Texas comes as the vice president finds herself in a dead heat nationally (and in most swing states) against former […] Read more ›

From Charli xcx memes to fan-made covers interpolating her famous “coconut tree” quote, Kamala Harris’s last-minute presidential bid against Republican candidate Donald Trump has had a fascinating and outsized relationship with pop music. Various progressive singers, like Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo, have pledged their support. Katy Perry offered one of her latest singles, “Woman’s […] Read more ›

Who’s going to win the presidential election? My answer, as a journalist writing about politics who gets asked this a lot, is always, “It’s a coin flip.” That’s certainly what forecasting models based on polling suggest. As I write this, the Economist gives Donald Trump a 53 percent chance; FiveThirtyEight gives him a 51 percent […] Read more ›

When it comes to infectious diseases, the mosquitos are winning. In the last year, health officials reported a spike in dengue and have recorded infections even in nontropical areas, where the disease typically did not spread. Malaria is resurging in parts of North and South America, Africa, and Asia. Even Anthony Fauci, the former director […] Read more ›

It’s a tale as old as time: a devastating breakup comes out of nowhere without warning, shattering our sense of self and potentially our living arrangements, our friendships, our families. A more recent phenomenon is when that breakup goes massively viral after the injured party documents their heartbreak for the camera. That’s what happened when […] Read more ›

In 2015, when Barack Obama appeared on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, it was a big event precisely because it was a one-off — an exception rather than a rule. Almost a decade later, the media landscape has changed so completely that independent podcasters with little if any journalism experience seem to have an easier time […] Read more ›

The fight over who will become the next president is unlikely to end on Election Day if Vice President Kamala Harris prevails in the upcoming election. We know this because of former President Donald Trump’s behavior after he lost the 2020 election. Trump didn’t just incite an insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, […] Read more ›

This spring, an eye-opening poll from Axios suggested what once seemed unthinkable: Four in 10 Democrats were open to the idea of the US government deporting undocumented immigrants en masse. Though that share of support might seem high, other polls conducted since have found something similar, suggesting Americans at large are open to harsher, more […] Read more ›

Genocide is often referred to as the “crime of crimes,” a designation developed after the Holocaust and reserved for a very specific form of mass atrocity that deserves the highest condemnation. It should be unthinkable that Israel, home to the descendants of many Holocaust survivors, would perpetrate such a crime, and yet it has been […] Read more ›

This post contains spoilers for Venom: The Last Dance. The question at the core of Venom: The Last Dance is a simple one: Is this really the end of Venom? Is this really Tom Hardy’s last hurrah as journalist-turned-anti-hero Eddie Brock? Is the greatest comic book movie love story — a man standing in front […] Read more ›

Though we’re in the penultimate weeks of the 2024 presidential campaign, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s 2023 all over again. That’s because Vice President Kamala Harris has largely settled on a closing campaign message that sounds a lot like the idea President Joe Biden made the centerpiece of his campaign: that Donald Trump […] Read more ›

Earlier this summer, the United Nations reported that humanity now consumes more fish raised in farms than taken from the ocean. The milestone was the culmination of a decades-long growth spurt in aquaculture, or fish farming, an industry that produces more than four times as much fish today than it did 30 years ago. Fish […] Read more ›

This story originally appeared in Kids Today, Vox’s newsletter about kids, for everyone. Sign up here for future editions. I’ve been reporting on kids’ mental health for more than a year now, and one concern keeps coming up in my interviews with parents and experts: school apps.

I am a person of nostalgic lunchmeat experience: One of the deepest gustatory pleasures of my childhood involved stripping a bologna round of its red plastic casing, slicking on a generous smear of mayonnaise, twirling it into a rubbery tube — or a cone, in the occasional case of a pickle cameo — and quickly […] Read more ›
