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 ›

Donald Trump’s tariffs were at once predictable and shocking. Predictable, in the sense that Trump had been crystal-clear about wanting across-the-board tariffs during the campaign. Shocking, because they have been implemented in a manner that appears extreme and incompetent even by previous Trump standards. As a result, the world is historically unsettled: One metric of […] Read more ›

On Thursday, one day after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs, what appears to be the first lawsuit challenging those tariffs was filed in a federal court in Florida. That alone isn’t particularly surprising. The tariffs are expected to drive up the costs of goods in the United States, and have already sent the […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s new tariff chart, which he unveiled Wednesday at the Rose Garden, had a mixture of surprising and predictable countries on the list. A high tariff on China? Not so surprising. But among the top 10 countries on his chart, eight are in Asia. Many close US allies like South Korea and Japan […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s tariffs are already wreaking economic chaos in the US and abroad. On Wednesday, he announced a minimum 10 percent tariff on almost all imports, with dozens of countries facing even higher rates. The stock market plunged in response when trading opened on Thursday, with the S&P 500 down more than 4 percent […] Read more ›

At long last, spring has arrived here in New England, with verdant leaves erupting through soil and piles of brown leaves. That means the return of neighbors who pass by my garden and say, “I love that rose bush!” or “What else are you growing this year?” It means frequent visits from busy pollinators like bees, […] Read more ›

A Vox reader asks: Why do so many people believe in astrology? Astrology has been around as long as people have had problems. Frustrated with their terrestrial existence, humans have looked to the stars for answers. A constellation shaped like a goat, an archer, or a virgin could have just as much insight into life as […] Read more ›

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought to be confirmed as Donald Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), he had to overcome a long record of fringe anti-science beliefs. He had indulged in conspiracies about chem trails, questioned whether HIV was the actual cause of AIDS, and, most notably, spread the repeatedly debunked theory […] Read more ›

In February, a group of men on a sports talk show casually spread a salacious and untrue rumor about the sex life of a teenage girl on national television, resulting in her being humiliated and relentlessly harassed. It felt as though it were 2007 again, and the talk show banter was a brief pause before […] Read more ›

The Trump administration’s tariffs are, by every reasonable account, an economic catastrophe in the making. So why are they happening? One explanation is that this is simply democracy at work. President Donald Trump campaigned on doing more or less exactly what he’s just done, and the voting public elected him. So here we are. That’s […] Read more ›

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on pretty much everything imported into the United States. Among other things, the tariffs include a 10 percent minimum tax of imports outside of North America, a hodgepodge of different tax rates on Canadian and Mexican goods, a 25 percent tax on cars manufactured outside the […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s defenders often frame his trade policies as prioritizing economic development over the free market. In their telling, America has an interest in manufacturing valuable goods domestically, even if producing such wares in the US is not maximally profitable right now. Our nation might not currently make semiconductors as well as Taiwan or […] Read more ›

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited West Virginia on March 28 to promote his “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda at an event where he cruelly criticized state Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s weight. Kennedy suggested that he would host a public weigh-in and celebration once Morrisey had shed 30 pounds, and Kennedy had an […] Read more ›

Democratic voters just won a 10-point landslide in a state that Trump won last year. How? The answer is a defining trend of modern elections: There are two different kinds of electorates who come out to vote in the Trump era. On Tuesday night, the liberal, Democrat-aligned Judge Susan Crawford defeated her Republican-backed opponent by […] Read more ›

If you’d asked me a decade ago how I felt about my phone, I would have said: “Wow, I love it.” And also: “How could you even ask me such a thing?” 2015 was a quieter, happier time. Barack Obama was president, “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars was the No. 1 song, […] Read more ›

The world is trying to kill you, this much is true. Planes are crashing on a near weekly basis. “Forever chemicals” and microplastics are in our water, embedded in our beauty products and clothing, and even burrowed in our brains. Your kitchen utensils might be poisoning you and perhaps your food is, too. Mysterious diseases […] Read more ›

Donald Trump has said that “tariff” is the “most beautiful word in the dictionary.” And throughout his first months in office, the president has given Americans plenty of cause for googling that word’s definition. The president announced Wednesday — a day he has dubbed “liberation day” — that he will impose tariffs of at least […] Read more ›
