On Monday, an attack on the al-Asad airbase in Iraq wounded at least five American military servicemembers and two contractors. The attack could be an isolated incident, but there are signs that it may be part of a broader escalation in the region. The strike comes amid a period of escalating violence in the Middle East.

Four years later, Walz’s handling of the demonstrations — which included mass unrest in Minnesota’s largest […] Read more ›

A historic ruling against Google could change the internet as we know it

A federal judge found Monday that Google’s search business constitutes an illegal monopoly, a landmark ruling and major victory for the Biden administration as it seeks to clamp down on Big Tech.

The left loves Tim Walz. Can he unite the Democrats?

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been picked as Kamala Harris’s running mate — and the American left couldn’t be happier. This is not because Walz himself is an ideological leftist. While he certainly has progressive credibility — in 2023, he passed a series of left-liberal reforms dubbed the “Minnesota Miracle” — he’s also taken more centrist positions on a […] Read more ›

Will Kamala Harris regret picking Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro?

Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate Tuesday. Walz’s selection came as something of a surprise. For much of last week, betting markets had given Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro a more than 60 percent chance of joining the Democratic ticket. In opting for Walz instead, Harris defied the conventional […] Read more ›

Kamala Harris’s recent embrace of rent control, explained

At her first major campaign rally since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris made a relatively unexpected promise. Speaking in Atlanta to a crowd of 10,000 supporters, Harris pledged to “take on corporate landlords and cap unfair rent increases.” Harris’s remarks to cap rents echoed a recent proposal from the Biden […] Read more ›

Is there an AI bubble — and is it about to pop?

How much is the future worth?  Usually to answer that question, you’d need to ask philosophers or economists. But if you’re a tech CEO, you have an actual number: about $1 trillion. That’s how much the tech industry as a whole is set to spend building out the artificial intelligence industry over the coming years. […] Read more ›

Bangladesh’s prime minister just fled the country in a helicopter. Why?

Bangladesh’s increasingly autocratic leader, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, resigned and fled the country Monday following weeks of unrest. Hasina’s exit on an India-bound military helicopter came after crowds broke a curfew and stormed the prime minister’s residence in the capital Dhaka, following weeks of bloody protest.  The movement that ultimately toppled her started with students […] Read more ›

The bizarre RFK Jr. bear incident, briefly explained

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate perhaps best known for his anti-vaccine viewpoints and proclivity for spreading conspiracy theories, admitted he dumped a dead bear in New York’s Central Park back in 2014.  In a video Kennedy posted on X on Sunday, he revealed that he’d left a bike and bear carcass in […] Read more ›

Is Kamala Harris beating Donald Trump in the polls?

Kamala Harris entered the presidential race a little over two weeks ago as an underdog. Since then, Democrats’ vibes have been fantastic — and Harris’s polling has gotten better. But it hasn’t improved as much as you might think. At least not yet. Per polls, Trump is no longer the clear favorite to win. But […] Read more ›

It’s practically impossible to run a big AI company ethically

Anthropic was supposed to be the good AI company. The ethical one. The safe one. It was supposed to be different from OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. In fact, all of Anthropic’s founders once worked at OpenAI but quit in part because of differences over safety culture there, and moved to spin up their own […] Read more ›

What happens when everyone decides they need a gun?

“Threat!” In a flash, 50 people pull replica handguns and raise them above shoulder height, careful not to point the mock weapons at the heads of those sitting in front of them. It’s a Saturday morning on the South Side of Chicago, and the heat is rising in the classroom as firearms instructor Mike Brown […] Read more ›

The world is getting more violent. A top refugee advocate thinks he knows why.

What’s driving the increase in global conflict? Is it a lack of global leadership? Political polarization? Resource stress and climate change?  David Miliband sees a combination of all these factors and more. For the past 10 years, the former British foreign secretary has led the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a global NGO working on the […] Read more ›

Skip the airport. It’s time to plan the perfect road trip.

Somewhere between San Luis Obispo and Monterey, California, I wondered if the rain would ever cease. Pounding storms had followed me on my two-week solo road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, so much so that the Pacific Coast Highway was closed to motorists through Big Sur — one of my planned pit stops.

Nothing prepares a casual Olympics fan for falling in love with a sport they know nothing about.

Is the United States in self-destruct mode?

Here’s a strange question: What if the greatest threat to the United States is our own Constitution? Even if you think the American Constitution is the most brilliant political document in human history (and it arguably is), it was written in the late 18th century, which means it’s a product of a very different world […] Read more ›

The misleading controversy over an Olympic women’s boxing match, briefly explained 

An Olympic women’s boxing match — and misinformation about one of the athletes involved — is now being used by conservatives to promote their anti-trans agenda.  On Thursday, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif faced off against Italian boxer Angela Carini, winning in 46 seconds after Carini abruptly pulled out of the fight. Following the match, Carini […] Read more ›
