It sometimes seems like Ozempic (and its ilk) is a miracle treatment, not just for weight loss but for all manner of other conditions and cravings. As GLP-1 drugs grow in popularity, and with the prospect of Ozempic pills on the horizon, it’s time to ask: What’s the catch? Also in this issue, you’ll find […] Read more ›

We are nearing a point of no return for GLP-1 drugs. More than one in 10 Americans have already taken a GLP-1 agonist, be it Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro.

We’ve all been there. Maybe it’s when you grab a coffee in the morning or when you finish up a dinner out with friends. Maybe it’s when you least expect it, like at the merch table at a concert. You tap your card, only to be confronted with the dreaded tip screen. There’s a lot […] Read more ›

During a nasty summer heat wave — see: much of the US right now — water is a reliable source of relief. Where there are no rivers or lakes to swim in, we still might have swimming pools, sprinklers, and popsicles to keep ourselves cool. Wild animals don’t have such luxuries. Bouts of extreme heat […] Read more ›

Over the past couple of weeks, one story has overshadowed every other, no matter how important they might be: Jeffrey Epstein. Unless you’ve been taking your summer vacation on Mars, you probably know the contours of the story. (And if you don’t, my Vox colleague Andrew Prokop wrote a useful summary this week.) But what […] Read more ›

Project 2025 laid out the battle plan pretty clearly: Get rid of the Department of Education, shut off federal funding, take control of the accreditation system, and take down diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. And, in the end, change what students are encouraged to study and what professors are allowed to teach. So why is […] Read more ›

Gaza is on the brink of a mass starvation crisis, and once it starts, it will be difficult if not impossible to stop. The Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip has faced various levels of food insecurity throughout the war that Israel has waged on the territory since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack, fluctuating with […] Read more ›

A new kind of political battle is emerging between America’s parties — one centered on the composition of Congress and congressional redistricting. This process usually occurs every decade, after the US Census finishes its work and releases new demographic information that states use to reconfigure how the 435 seats in the House of Representatives are […] Read more ›

Over the last two years, a quiet miracle has been playing out across the United States: People are killing each other far less often. Murder and other types of violent crime spiked across the country in 2020, when the pandemic closed down schools and recreation centers and the police murder of George Floyd fueled a […] Read more ›

The last word you want to hear in a conversation about AI’s capabilities is “scheming.” An AI system that can scheme against us is the stuff of dystopian science fiction.  And in the past year, that word has been cropping up more and more often in AI research. Experts have warned that current AI systems […] Read more ›

Reports of Donald Trump’s name repeatedly appearing in the Jeffrey Epstein files, coupled with the unearthing of a suggestive birthday card that the president sent the convicted sex offender, have renewed scrutiny of their relationship. But if the government really had damning information about Trump’s entanglements with Epstein in its possession for years, then why […] Read more ›

Last month, two Republican federal appeals court judges effectively abolished the law banning race discrimination in elections in seven states. On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a brief order blocking this decision. The upshot is that, at least for now, it is still illegal for a state to disenfranchise someone because of the color of […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s second term has been very good to large meat companies, which raise and slaughter some 10 billion animals each year.
