As a baby, my second child was a terrible sleeper. First he had day-night confusion, a common but exhausting condition in which the baby sleeps during daylight hours and is alert and hungry all night, like a vampire. Then he settled into a schedule of waking up four or five times per night, always happy […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump got a mulligan in former Sen. Markwayne Mullin — a second shot at filling the top job at the Department of Homeland Security. Trump fired his first pick, Kristi Noem, amid mounting criticism of her leadership and management of the agency. Mullin, a plumber-turned-MMA fighter-turned-firebrand politician, was confirmed to his new post […] Read more ›

After more than three weeks of war in Iran, the US has destroyed major components of Iran’s military, including ballistic missile sites and much of the country’s navy.

This regime’s style of Republicanism reflected the peculiar interests and obsessions of country-club conservatives: tax cuts, free trade, and mass immigration […] Read more ›

When Sam Altman first told her that he’d never let OpenAI go corporate, that what he and his colleagues were building was too powerful to be driven by investors, Catherine Bracy more or less believed him. The conversation took place in 2022, when Bracy, CEO and founder of the social mobility-focused nonprofit TechEquity, was interviewing […] Read more ›

When I was accused of being “financially illiterate” by a random guy in a bar during a conversation about investing last year, it knocked the wind out of me.

Everything is coming up Mormon…or at least it feels that way.

It’s okay; you can laugh. There is indeed something farcical, albeit grim, about the purported negotiations between the US and Iran. Yesterday, President Donald Trump claimed the two countries had made “very good” progress toward ending the war. Hours later, Iran’s foreign ministry denied that any such conversations had ever occurred. Trump then clarified that […] Read more ›

If the United States had a nonpartisan judiciary, Watson v. Republican National Committee would have been laughed out of court months ago. The premise of the Republican Party’s lawsuit in Watson is that, beginning in 1845, Congress banned states from counting many absentee ballots — and somehow no one noticed this for the better part […] Read more ›

For more than four decades, technological progress has been undermining expert authority, democratizing public debate, and steering individuals toward ever-more bespoke conceptions of reality. In the mid-20th century, the high costs of television production — and physical limitations of the broadcast spectrum — tightly capped the number of networks.
