Is CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss censoring critical coverage of the Trump administration to please the network’s billionaire backers and the president himself? It’s the crisis many have anticipated since Weiss — a center-right provocateur known for her outspoken criticism of “wokeness” and support for Israel — was appointed atop CBS News in October. And […] Read more ›

Our brains have a way of playing tricks on us — like that ringing in our ears known as tinnitus. It’s a sound in your head, created to make up for hearing loss. And that’s not the only way minds create the world we live in. “I study whether The Matrix is a movie or a […] Read more ›

2025 is just about in the books, and the reviews are in: It sucked. Over at the subreddit r/decadeology, you can check out a long, long thread of redditors submitting reasons why 2025 was, in the words of the first post, “a long, disappointing year.” War in Gaza, vibecessions, chaos in the White House, growing […] Read more ›

This summer, as President Donald Trump signed a new industry-friendly “Genius Act” for cryptocurrency, he deferred to White House “AI and cryptocurrency czar” David Sacks to explain why crypto companies need a hands-off regulatory framework. When Trump introduced an executive order this month that limits states’ ability to regulate artificial intelligence, Sacks was at his […] Read more ›

The Trump Administration was legally required to release all documents related to federal investigations of Jeffrey Epstein by Friday, with only limited grounds for withholding documents and full explanations required for any redactions.

Hundreds of thousands of pages of the Justice Department’s files related to investigations of Jeffrey Epstein are set to be released Friday, and though all the files won’t be released just yet, this batch is sure to create a frenzy on social media when it drops. The Epstein scandal is an important national story, and […] Read more ›

The Justice Department almost never discloses information it collected on a criminal suspect outside of a criminal judicial proceeding, and for very good reasons. Revealing such information can endanger victims or other witnesses. And it denies due process to individuals who may be innocent — and who will never receive a trial — even though […] Read more ›

The world we’ve built is an unrelentingly cruel one for animals. By 2025’s end, millions of animals will have been locked in tiny cages and violently killed for their fur. Hundreds of millions will have been drugged, prodded, or sliced up in painful experiments. And close to 1 trillion animals will have been farmed for […] Read more ›

The first thing that struck me about this year’s most talked-about policy book, Abundance (perhaps you’ve heard of it?), is a detail almost no one talks about. The book’s cover art sketches a future where half of our planet is densely woven with the homes, clean energy, and other technologies required to fill every human […] Read more ›

Despite working in child care for 25 years, Crystal Romero has never seen a shift like the one taking place in New Mexico. “Twenty years ago, I had to furnish classrooms by shopping at thrift stores and yard sales, sanding things myself and repainting them,” she said. Today, Romero and her husband own and manage […] Read more ›

The “Epstein files” are maybe, finally, coming out — or at least, some of them are.

There are still questions […] Read more ›

For the last decade, global climate politics have revolved around a single number: 1.5 degrees Celsius. The idea was that keeping the planet below this warming threshold would hold many of the worst impacts of climate change in a manageable range.
