On Thursday, the Court handed down a 6-3 decision, on a party-line vote, that could render a simply astonishing array of federal laws unenforceable. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor writes in dissent, “the constitutionality of hundreds of statutes may now be in peril, and dozens of agencies could be stripped of their power to enforce laws […] Read more ›

“I’m really tired of being called a protectionist,” Katherine Tai, President Joe Biden’s trade representative and a leading architect of his confrontational economic approach to China, told me on Monday. Given what Biden’s opponent has been saying lately, I empathize. Former President Donald Trump reportedly told Republican lawmakers he wants an “all tariff” policy, in […] Read more ›

If you want to understand what’s actually happening in America right now on any number of thorny topics, a presidential debate — and most moments of a presidential campaign — might be just about the worst place to start. Debates are notorious as a place for candidates to misrepresent, spin, and flat-out lie to cast […] Read more ›

President Joe Biden’s economic record is a bit like a certain orange-hued ex-president: It’s perpetually on trial. For years, politicians and commentators have been arguing over the merits of the Biden-era economy. And the question of whether Americans have prospered under the president’s watch is certain to feature prominently in his Thursday night debate with […] Read more ›

Unauthorized crossings at the US southern border soared higher and higher during the first three years of Joe Biden’s presidency. Now, in the first half of 2024, they’ve fallen sharply, but they’re still significantly higher than in the decade before Biden took office. That’s the basic numerical trend, according to numbers from US Customs and […] Read more ›

With the 2024 campaign underway, politicians from both parties have been sounding the alarm about rising crime rates. But the pandemic-era spike in crime actually seems to have subsided. The first three months of 2024 showed a historic decline in crime rates compared with the same period last year, according to the latest data from […] Read more ›

Two very old, often ineloquent white men will get into a lengthy argument in Atlanta on Thursday night — and, quite possibly, change the course of American history. Some may doubt that the first debate of the 2024 presidential election has such high stakes. There are indeed many reasons to think that this week’s oratorical […] Read more ›

Former President Donald Trump could soon make an announcement about his pick for vice president, a choice that could prove to be uniquely consequential this cycle. In past elections, a nominee’s running mate has been closely watched for a variety of reasons. They may bring experience to balance a nominee’s lack of it (think Barack […] Read more ›

For the second time in two years, a major Supreme Court abortion decision leaked before the justices officially released it. This time, however, the most likely explanation is a clerical error by someone who manages the Court’s website. Two years ago, an early draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health […] Read more ›

When a fan asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to sign her chest earlier this month, that might have been a sign that the hype around the chipmaker may have reached unsustainable heights. Over the past few years, Nvidia’s computer chips — which have some technical capabilities that make them well suited to AI applications — […] Read more ›

On a 6-3 party-line vote, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that state officials may accept “gratuities” from people who wish to reward them for their official actions, despite a federal anti-corruption statute that appears to ban such rewards. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion in Snyder v. United States for the Court’s Republican-appointed majority. […] Read more ›

The Supreme Court handed down a stern rebuke to some of the most right-wing judges in the country on Wednesday, holding that no, judges do not get to micromanage how the Biden administration speaks to social media companies. The vote in Murthy v. Missouri was 6-3, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh […] Read more ›

Inflation and the economy are still the biggest issues on many voters’ minds heading into the 2024 election, even though inflation has come down from its dizzying height in June 2022, when prices were climbing at almost 9 percent. Last month, it was a much more manageable 3.3 percent. But it’s still not entirely clear […] Read more ›

It turns out seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression usually associated with the darker winter months, can take hold in the summer, too. While its symptoms can be different from its winter counterpart — cold-weather SAD typically makes people lethargic, while summer SAD makes them more agitated — it’s also a condition triggered […] Read more ›

Reality TV is experiencing some growing pains. During last year’s WGA and SAG strikes, former Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel ignited an industry conversation about the lack of protections and fair pay for reality performers. Since then, Bravo and its network spokesperson Andy Cohen have been hit with a stream of […] Read more ›

One strange thing about the American unemployment insurance (UI) system — which provides weekly payments to jobless people who meet certain criteria — is that it’s not insurance against being unemployed. More accurately, it’s insurance against losing a job “through no fault of your own,” which makes UI more like “getting laid off insurance.” Aside […] Read more ›

Are your ears doing okay right now? Do you know? I don’t. I’m wearing noise-canceling headphones, blocking out the din of traffic passing by so that instead Spotify’s Deep Focus playlist can let me do what it promises. It’s awesome … but I can’t help but wonder: Is this damaging my hearing? Our increasingly urban […] Read more ›

The last time Joe Biden and Donald Trump debated, the country and the world were in a mess.
