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 ›

It’s been more than a week since the arrest of music mogul and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs on a litany of federal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, but the questions surrounding the allegations have only grown in recent days.

Most conservatives are as interested in voting for Kamala Harris as they are in eating a bowl of tofu marinated in motor oil. After all, the Democratic nominee has vowed to legalize abortion nationwide, ban assault weapons, regulate prices, and increase federal spending. As Donald Trump — in his own wildly exaggerated fashion — would […] Read more ›

Donald Trump is struggling with female voters and occasionally acts like he knows it. With the November election fast approaching, Republican political consultants have been bemoaning the fact that their presidential candidate continues to publicly boast about overturning Roe v. Wade — something a majority of Americans oppose. Trump’s openly anti-abortion pick for vice president, […] Read more ›

If, in the year 2010, someone asked you to conjure an image of the average libertarian, there’s a good chance you’d envision former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who was, for decades, the ideology’s most famous representative. You might also think of someone entirely fictional: Ron Swanson. Grumpy, mustachioed, and obsessively fearful of government overreach, Swanson […] Read more ›

An enormous tropical storm named Helene, now a Category 1 hurricane, is churning across the Caribbean near Cuba and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

Mark Robinson, the embattled Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, wrote many troubling things during his days as a poster on the porn forum Nude Africa.

A 55-year-old Missouri man — who maintained he was innocent — was executed Tuesday evening, and became the latest of several recent people put to death who have renewed scrutiny of the death penalty. In 2001, Marcellus Williams was convicted of the 1998 killing of social worker and former St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Felicia “Lisha” […] Read more ›

We are entering a new era of global health. It starts with some good news: Around the world, the number of people dying from infectious diseases every year is falling.

A Vox reader writes: Why is it so hard to make friends as you continue to get older? You don’t need me to tell you what you probably already know: Forming new friendships in adulthood feels close to impossible (unless you’re a preternaturally charming social butterfly, in which case, good for you!). For the rest […] Read more ›

That today’s American right has radically changed since former President Donald Trump’s political emergence is beyond obvious. What’s less well understood is that the right is still transforming rapidly, and that the movement is in a vastly different — and more radical — place than it was even four years ago. In eight new pieces, […] Read more ›

The name “Donald Trump” is synonymous with a kind of goonish incompetence. This, after all, is the same man who once suggested that it may be possible to cure Covid-19 by injecting yourself with bleach. During Trump’s presidency, however, at least one part of his White House bore little resemblance to the stumbling, bumbling operation […] Read more ›

There is one thing Donald Trump’s critics and fans can agree on: He is not an intellectual. His politics come from the gut, a combination of his own instincts and an animalistic talent for reading his supporters’ emotions and enthusiasms. The idea that Trump is attuned to the debates roiling conservative intellectuals — arguments about […] Read more ›

Is Donald Trump on track to win a historic share of voters of color in November’s presidential election? On the surface, it’s one of the most confounding questions of the Trump years in American politics. Trump — and the Republican Party in his thrall — has embraced anti-immigrant policies and proposals, peddled racist stereotypes, and demonized immigrants. […] Read more ›

Since it unexpectedly became a viral phenomenon earlier this year, Project 2025 has loomed extraordinarily large over the presidential campaign. On the debate stage, Kamala Harris called it “a detailed and dangerous plan” that Donald Trump “intends on implementing if he were elected again.” Trump, meanwhile, insists we should pay no attention to that 922-page […] Read more ›

Now that the dust has settled after the first and perhaps only presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, the state of the polling looks clear: Harris has a slight edge in a race that remains extremely close. Harris leads national polls, on average, by 2 or 3 percentage points. […] Read more ›

The upcoming execution of a 55-year-old Missouri man — who maintains he is innocent — is the latest of several recent cases to renew scrutiny of the death penalty. In 2001, Marcellus Williams was convicted of the 1998 killing of social worker and former St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Felicia “Lisha” Gayle, and sentenced to death. Since […] Read more ›

Having devoted fans can be a terrifying and fraught thing for a public figure to experience — and increasingly, the celebs are telling us about it.

Microplastics are everywhere: In our pantries and refrigerators, in our oceans, in the headlines. The world produces hundreds of millions of tons of plastic each year, much of which will eventually end up in landfills or the environment. It seems a month doesn’t go by without a new study affirming one of two things (or […] Read more ›
