America’s 250th anniversary has arrived, and, at a national level, the narrative is set: Presdient Donald Trump has made the semi-quincentennial into his personal party. The White House has rolled out a series of headline-grabbing events, from a UFC fight on the South Lawn to a failed concert series eventually replaced with — what else?

America’s 250th birthday celebration feels like a child’s birthday party ruined by fighting between two soon-to-be-divorced parents. What should be a benign celebration of shared, if slightly boring, values has become a fully partisan affair. In part, this is due to the president’s determination to make it all about himself. But the agita surrounding America […] Read more ›

The numbers are clear: President Donald Trump’s approval rating is cratering across the board, and he’s losing the most ground with groups that were key demographics to his win in 2024. In that election, men under 30 broke for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris by about a single point — not a lot, but […] Read more ›

The legal profession is much like a priesthood; both lawyers and theologians interpret a central text, be it the Bible, the Quran, the Gita, or the Constitution. We bury ourselves in canonical commentaries on that text. And we are all supplicants to beings much more powerful than ourselves. Which explains why I’ve spent the past […] Read more ›

It was not the postcard-worthy aesthetics that prompted Greek islanders to first drench their cliffside-carved homes, churches, and pathways in a thick layer of pearly white paint. Much like wearing a white tunic on a hot sunny day, painting your house a shade of reflective white is a fine way to keep an ancient island […] Read more ›

The latest breakthrough for GLP-1 drugs isn’t scientific. It’s financial. As of July 1, Medicare is providing coverage of GLP-1 medications for weight loss for just a $50 co-pay, potentially enabling millions more Americans to get onto this much-hyped new class of drugs. Medicare’s GLP-1 Bridge Program, as it is called, is technically a one-year […] Read more ›

The World Cup is in full swing, and the vibes are mostly positive! Scottish tourists drank Boston dry, Mexico lifted a 40-year curse, and African teams have had a historic showing. But there is one pesky little thing that fans REALLY don’t like: hydration breaks, which are a new addition to the tournament this year.

America turns 250 this year. The celebrations are already underway — and so are the questions. President Donald Trump has put himself at the center of the anniversary in Washington, DC, with hype-filled plans for festivals and fireworks.

This story originally appeared in Kids Today, Vox’s newsletter about kids, for everyone. Sign up here for future editions. A few summers ago, we signed our older kid up for a very outdoorsy camp.

On Love Island USA, a show purportedly about pursuing heterosexual romance in an obnoxiously-lit villa in Fiji, the two biggest stories this season are not about sordid, spontaneous hookups; devastatingly hot bombshells in skimpy bikinis leaving broken hearts in their wake; or what scandalous behavior the night vision cameras have caught on tape. Instead, it’s […] Read more ›

The left is painting Blue America rose. In just the past two weeks, four insurgent left-wing candidates — including three socialists — have won Democratic congressional primaries. The latest victor, 29-year-old Melat Kiros, defeated 15-term incumbent Diana DeGette Tuesday night. These wins capped a banner year for progressives in general and the Democratic Socialists of […] Read more ›

I was the kind of kid who dug holes, the deeper the better. I vividly recall the ecstasy of once splaying out my fingers in a bucket full of backyard dirt, a bliss punctuated only by a sudden burning sensation in my right hand that turned out to be my first-ever encounter with a fire […] Read more ›

In many ways, Melat Kiros epitomizes the winds of change sweeping over the Democratic Party. Kiros is a 29-year-old political newcomer who is disillusioned with the system, who calls ending aid to Israel “the moral question of our time,” and who is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. And on Tuesday, she handily defeated […] Read more ›

“This is demonic stuff.” “It’s downright abusive.” “That sounds like torture to me.” “It’s inhumane.” It causes “physical problems and psychological anguish.” These are quotes describing the pork industry’s standard practice of confining pregnant pigs in tiny crates, called gestation crates, which are so small that the pigs can’t even turn around. Millions of pigs […] Read more ›

As temperatures blew past 100°F in cities across Europe last week, it was difficult to tell what was generating more hot air: the weather or the discourse around the right way to endure it. On the western side of the Atlantic, the answer was almost uniformly obvious: air conditioning. Just around 20 percent of European […] Read more ›

For 36 years, the question of who ultimately ruled Iran had one answer: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
