When a president gives a primetime televised speech, it is typically about something of serious import: to make the case for a major new policy or to announce the beginning of a war. President Donald Trump’s speech on Wednesday night had no grave significance. In fact, there didn’t seem to be much of a point […] Read more ›

The Supreme Court handed down a very brief order on Friday, which effectively permits the Trump administration to strip half a million immigrants of their right to remain in the United States.

J.K. Rowling’s supporters frequently claim the author has never actually said or done anything transphobic. It’s a position you can see on social media, in the pages of the New York Times, and even on a 2023 podcast with Rowling herself. It’s also an easily debunked lie. Some of this confusion around Rowling’s opinions can […] Read more ›

Let’s start with one unambiguous fact: More children are diagnosed with autism today than in the early 1990s. According to a sweeping 2000 analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a range of 2–7 per 1,000, or roughly 0.5 percent of US children, were diagnosed with autism in the 1990s. That figure has […] Read more ›

In the summer of 2023, I wrote about a shocking scandal at Harvard Business School: Star professor Francesca Gino had been accused of falsifying data in four of her published papers, with whispers there was falsification in others, too. A series of posts on Data Colada, a blog that focuses on research integrity, documented Gino’s […] Read more ›

There are very few philosophers who become part of popular culture, and often, if their ideas become influential, people don’t know where they came from. Niccolò Machiavelli, the great 16th-century diplomat and writer, is an exception. I don’t know how many people have actually read Machiavelli, but almost everyone knows the name, and almost everyone […] Read more ›

As politicians grapple with declining birth rates, the financial burden of giving birth in America — where privately insured families face out-of-pocket costs of nearly $3,000 on average — has captured widespread attention. Last month, when news broke that the Trump administration was considering $5,000 baby bonuses for new parents, comedian Taylor Tomlinson captured the […] Read more ›

In Israel, left-wing politician Yair Golan, a retired general, recently stirred controversy when he said in an interview with Israel Radio that “Israel is on the way to becoming a pariah state” and added that “a sane country does not fight against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set itself […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s seemingly infinite patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin may, in fact, have limits. “Something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform this week, citing the massive recent airstrikes on Ukrainian cities and Putin’s desire to conquer “ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece […] Read more ›

I never appreciated how much I aspired toward conventional hotness until I got cancer and lost all my hair. As I underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy in 2023 to treat advanced-stage […] Read more ›

Vox reader Stefanos Nasiopoulos asks: How do instincts work in animals? Do they use the same mechanism as memories? How are they different from learned behavior? For example, when the tailorbird is actually sewing leaves to form a nest, does it understand what it’s doing? Or does it just feel a compulsion to do it […] Read more ›

Editor’s note, May 29, 4:10 pm ET: On Thursday, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an administrative stay of the trade court’s decision striking down the tariffs. This is a temporary order, which effectively hits “pause” on the case until the Federal Circuit has enough time to decide whether to issue […] Read more ›

The Supreme Court handed down an opinion on Thursday that reads like it was written by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, the authors of an influential book arguing that excessive regulation of land use and development has made it too difficult to build housing and infrastructure in the United States. (Ezra is also a co-founder […] Read more ›

Conservatives want the government to dictate what you can and cannot eat. Or so Republican policymaking increasingly suggests. Earlier this month, Montana and Nebraska became the latest US states to ban lab-grown meat (also known as “cellular meat” or “cultivated meat”). Unlike plant-based meat substitutes like the Impossible Burger, lab-grown meat consists of actual animal tissue, […] Read more ›

In 1965, then-French finance minister Valéry Giscard d’Estaing came up with the “mot juste” for describing the way that the supremacy of the dollar provided the foundation for the financial supremacy of the US. The fact the dollar was so dominant in international transactions gave the US, d’Estaing said, an “exorbitant privilege.” Because every country […] Read more ›

The Trump administration’s recent decision to bar international students from attending Harvard University was less a policy decision than an act of war. The White House had hoped its opening salvo against the nation’s oldest university would yield the kind of immediate capitulation offered by Columbia University. When Harvard chose to fight back instead, Trump […] Read more ›

Elon Musk is stepping back from his Trump administration work with a trail of wreckage — and failure — behind him. Musk said Wednesday that his time as a White House employee — already scaled back to one or two days a week — was now coming to an end. But he’d already had his […] Read more ›

Nearly two decades ago, scientists made an alarming discovery in upstate New York: Bats, the world’s only flying mammal, were becoming infected with a new, deadly fungal disease that, in some cases, could wipe out an entire colony in a matter of months. Since then, the disease — later called white-nose syndrome — has spread across much of […] Read more ›

Somewhere between asking Google’s new advanced AI to explain, in detail, how to become an expert birdwatcher in my neighborhood and using Google’s new AI moviemaking tool to create cartoons of my 4-pound Chihuahua fighting crime, I realized something. Either Google is having a midlife crisis or I am. It could be both. Google has […] Read more ›
