The case for Biden 2024 is weaker today than it was immediately after the first presidential debate. In the wake of President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, Democrats implored their standard-bearer to prove that he had merely “had a bad night”: He could prove his mental acuity, rhetorical competence, and vitality through a blitz of […] Read more ›

President Joe Biden avowed that he was “firmly committed” to staying in the 2024 presidential race, in a letter to House Democrats released Monday morning. And in addition to maintaining that he believed he was the best person to beat former President Donald Trump, Biden’s letter relied heavily on one particular argument: that he was […] Read more ›

In Sunday’s French parliamentary elections, voters delivered a serious shake-up of the status quo, one that now means that, in France, there’s no longer a strong center, but rather a politics increasingly dominated by extremes. The election saw the highest turnout since 1981, as well as a sharp rebuke to the far-right National Rally (RN) […] Read more ›

This past week saw elections in two of the world’s biggest democracies, the United Kingdom and France. The results of Britain’s July 4 election were (mostly) as expected: a romp for center-left Labour, dethroning the Conservative party after 14 years in power. But Sunday’s French results came as a surprise. The far-right National Rally (RN), […] Read more ›

All of the United States’ most important governing institutions are failing at once. Congress, of course, has long been barely able to function. Every year, it struggles merely to fund the rest of the government, and the risk that it will trigger a debt ceiling breach that would set the global economy on fire is […] Read more ›

If you’re feeling brave, sit and look — and I mean really look — at a plant on your windowsill as it bends toward the light. It seems simple, but stare at it long enough and you may find yourself doubting everything you thought you knew about your own mind. Because sooner or later you’ll ask yourself: […] Read more ›

Over the past year, Sonny Angel — a biblically inaccurate, 3-inch-tall cherub figurine with peculiar headgear — has taken over the hearts, minds, phones, display shelves, and nightstands of collectors across the world. The plastic dolls, wearing helmets ranging in form from pancakes to sunflowers, are garnering millions of views on TikTok and Instagram, popping […] Read more ›

Jenn Tran, a physician assistant student from Miami, Florida, will debut as the first Asian American Bachelorette in the show’s 21st season premiere this week. That’s a notable milestone, and it’s also one that sends a significant message about power — and who’s allowed to have it. Historically, Asian women have been portrayed in US […] Read more ›

In his first interview since last week’s disastrous debate, President Joe Biden appeared too frail to defeat former President Donald Trump and too delusional to end his campaign. Far from easing anxieties about his candidacy, the president’s sit-down with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News should further alarm Democratic leaders. Biden’s remarks indicated that his party […] Read more ›

If you were to write the history of modern American conservatism, where would you start? Maybe somewhere in the 1930s just before WW2? Or maybe you begin with the Cold War and anti-communism? Cases can be made for both of those entry points, but the early 1990s offer another fascinating moment in this history. While […] Read more ›

A starry night evokes magic, a sense of wonder or romance. But what about a starry sea? There are almost 2,000 species of sea stars or “starfish” worldwide, found across a range of habitats from tide pools to thousands of meters underwater. About a decade ago, the still-mysterious sea star wasting disease (SSW) had devastating […] Read more ›

I enjoy plenty of government services (my library, my bus, the mail) but if I had to pick an absolute favorite thing the US government does, it might be “fund Gavi.” Gavi is the international body, funded by rich governments and philanthropies, that bankrolls and organizes the distribution of life-saving vaccines in the Global South.

The history of philosophy is mostly the history of various schools arguing with each other about what’s good or true. The Epicureans, the Empiricists, the Stoics, the Skeptics, the Positivists, the Pragmatists — you get the point. I’m not an official member of any of these clubs, but if you asked me to pick one, […] Read more ›

Earlier this year, a brand-new child care center opened up in San Diego, serving about 25 families. The center charges parents 50 percent less than market rate, and child care workers are paid 15 percent above the going local average. Its hours of operation are flexible. It stays open from 5:30 am to 7 pm […] Read more ›

Fourteen years of Conservative rule in the United Kingdom ended with a bang, not a whimper, on Thursday as the party suffered a landslide defeat at the polls, winning just 121 seats while the opposition Labour Party took 412. The last of the five prime ministers of this period, Rishi Sunak, who moved into 10 […] Read more ›

The United Kingdom’s left-leaning Labour Party won — and won big — in the country’s national elections on Thursday, returning to power after 14 years of Conservative Party leadership. Labour made many promises in the party’s quest to win the race, and keeping them will be a gargantuan task that will require tackling Britain’s biggest issues including […] Read more ›

Over the last century, people have started demanding more from the businesses where they shop. Whether it be a pair of jeans or the food on their plates, consumers want to know that what they’re buying isn’t just good quality but also ethically and sustainably made. In the early 20th century, groups like the National […] Read more ›

By now, you may have heard the news that President Joe Biden is old — so old that even some Democrats are calling on him to drop out of the presidential race. But Biden, of course, is not the only old high-ranking American politician. His main opponent, Donald Trump, is 78, and the median age […] Read more ›

Every so often, a true crime case comes along that seems to be a Rorschach test — where there’s so much complicated, compelling, and contradictory evidence on all sides that it becomes easy to believe what you want to believe. That’s arguably the best way to describe why the case of Karen Read, which deadlocked […] Read more ›
