Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has two faces. From one angle, the operation looks disorientingly competent and normal: The Republican nominee has pivoted to the center on various hot-button issues and sought to broaden his base with symbolic overtures to traditionally Democratic constituencies. From another angle, it looks like a deeply weird, somewhat fascistic reality star’s […] Read more ›

Here’s something I’m embarrassed to admit: Even though I’ve been reporting on the problems with facial recognition for half a dozen years, I have allowed my face to be scanned at airports. Not once. Not twice. Many times. There are lots of reasons for that. For one thing, traveling is stressful. I feel time pressure […] Read more ›

California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) is generally known for his relentless bills on housing and public safety, a legislative record that made him one of the tech industry’s favorite legislators. But his introduction of the “Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models” bill, also known as SB 1047, which requires companies […] Read more ›

Michael Bloomberg last week gave $1 billion to his alma mater, Johns Hopkins University, to make medical school free for most students there. It’s a well-meaning gesture, aiming to remedy America’s doctor shortages that have left more than 100 million Americans without access to regular primary care, particularly in rural and low-income communities. “By reducing […] Read more ›

For a long time, the wealthy had the market cornered on leisure. A well-off person in the 18th and 19th centuries might go for a horse ride in the park or take a Grand Tour through Europe; in the Gilded Age, they might go away to a socialite’s weeklong house party in Newport in the […] Read more ›

Throughout the entire Republican National Convention, I struggled with one big question: What is the Republican Party for? That it was for former President Donald Trump went almost without saying. Look at the way that solidarity ear bandages became the RNC’s must-have fashion accessory, or how long the audience managed to put up big cheers […] Read more ›

If Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the Democratic presidential nominee, Republicans have a ready-made case against her: They can say she was President Biden’s “border czar,” in charge of immigration and the border, and she failed. At least seven different speakers at the Republican National Convention over the last week have used that moniker to […] Read more ›

In late June, Democrats throughout the country simultaneously realized that their presidential nominee could no longer reliably speak in complete sentences. Joe Biden’s age was no secret, but the extent of his cognitive and rhetorical decline had been closely guarded. The president spoke in public far less often than his predecessors. He repeatedly turned down […] Read more ›

A few weeks ago, a Reddit poster decided to ask about which actors audiences were being “force fed to accept” as movie stars. They had what they felt was a prime example at their fingertips: Glen Powell. “I feel like this guys [sic] is everywhere doing anything,” the poster mused. Yet they found Powell’s work […] Read more ›

Days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, lawmakers and watchdogs are taking the US Secret Service to task over how a gunman could have made it to a rooftop with an AR-15-style rifle just 400 feet away from the former president, let alone fire a weapon. As more details trickle in, it’s […] Read more ›

Last week, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs released the World Population Prospects, the international body’s annual report on the current and future state of global population.

Amid calls for President Joe Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee following his disastrous debate performance last month, he has turned to an unlikely set of allies for support: progressives.

Donald Trump’s allies have laid out sweeping plans to reshape the executive branch of the federal government if he is returned to power, plans that involve firing perhaps tens of thousands of career civil servants and replacing them with handpicked MAGA allies. But how far, exactly, would Trump go in trying to tear down what […] Read more ›

Many have interpreted Donald Trump’s selection of J.D. Vance as signaling a new age of Republican economic populism. In this view, until now, the precise ideological contours of Trumpism had been muddy, as the mercurial demagogue oscillated between populist heresies and conservative orthodoxy — vowing to impose price controls on pharmaceutical companies one day, fighting […] Read more ›
