You often hear about “ideology” these days. Even if that word isn’t mentioned, it’s very much what’s being discussed. When President Donald Trump denounces the left, he’s talking about gender ideology or critical race theory or DEI. When the left denounces Trump, they talk about fascism. Wherever you look, ideology is being used to explain […] Read more ›

Staying on top of AI developments is a full-time job. I would know, because it’s my full-time job.

Few organizations have profited as handsomely off of President Donald Trump’s rise to power as the Federalist Society, a kind of bar association for right-wing lawyers. “We’re going to have great judges, conservative, all picked by the Federalist Society,” Trump announced during his first campaign for president — and boy did he deliver. Trump spent […] Read more ›

After more than a century of steady, upward climb, US life expectancy hit 78.9 years in 2015. Since then, it’s been mostly downhill. US life expectancy slid to 76.1 years in 2021 at the pandemic’s nadir before inching back up to 78.4 years in 2023 — still well below the 2014 peak and lagging most […] Read more ›

At the dawn of the Covid pandemic, I wrote a newsletter about the approaching virus that highlighted what I saw as the biggest risk: that the question of whether to take Covid seriously would become a partisan political issue.
