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 ›

Some things feel like a fact of life: The sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. Winter turns to spring, which turns to summer, which turns to fall. And the deadline to get a REAL ID gets pushed back. That last one may seem more in flux than the other examples, but […] Read more ›

On Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court handed down a very brief order that effectively requires the government to pay foreign aid contractors as much as $2 billion for work they’ve already completed. The Court’s order is quite narrow and is unlikely to have many implications for future cases. Shortly after President Donald Trump took office […] Read more ›

In the first major speech to Congress of his second term, President Donald Trump made clear that he intends to barrel ahead with the MAGA agenda.

After decades of lobbying, the US government has finally started taking action to warn consumers about the hazards of ultra-processed foods: your potato chips, granola bars, cereal, frozen pizza, even many types of store-bought bread. As I reported last year, there is mounting scientific evidence linking such ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, to disorders that range […] Read more ›

After failing to consolidate around a single message of resistance to President Donald Trump over the past six weeks, it seems like the Democratic Party finally has an idea of what to say — but they’re still struggling to figure out how to communicate that message to the American people. The argument Democrats made in […] Read more ›

If you want to observe a particularly American problem, go open your phone’s Venmo app. Click on “me” and then click on “transfer.” If you have a balance in your account, you’ll be given two options. Option one gives you your money for free — but in “up to 3 biz days.” The other option […] Read more ›

This past fall, I set out to get rejected as often as I could. A healthy fear of rejection lives inside most people, and has some of us in a chokehold. Being rejected is seen as, at worst, an embarrassing personal failure, and, at best, an obstacle standing in the way of our hearts’ desires: […] Read more ›

There’s a thought experiment that has taken on almost mythic status among a certain group of technologists: If you build an artificial intelligence and give it a seemingly innocuous goal, like making as many paper clips as possible, it might eventually turn everything — including humanity — into raw material for more paper clips. Absurd […] Read more ›

Disney has added an explicitly Christian character to Pixar’s new series Win or Lose. That might not be head-turning in isolation, but it comes just months after nixing a transgender character’s storyline from the same show, and amid a cultural wave of pushbacks to diversification, both for Disney and the country at large. Now fans […] Read more ›

Donald Trump just imposed a 25 percent tariff on virtually all goods produced by America’s two largest trading partners — Canada and Mexico. He simultaneously established a 20 percent across-the-board tariff on Chinese goods. As a result, America’s average tariff level is now higher than at any time since the 1940s. Meanwhile, China and Canada […] Read more ›

A Vox reader asks: Can you explain how tariffs work? How will imposing tariffs impact the everyday lives of Americans? The tariffs President Donald Trump promised on Canada, Mexico, and China are now in force: each country must now pay a 25 percent tariff on all goods exported to the US (with a lower rate […] Read more ›

The nation of Mexico’s lawsuit against several major US gun manufacturers, known as Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, was cursed long before it reached the Supreme Court. Tuesday’s oral argument in the case only confirmed that. It appears that at least seven, and possibly as many as all nine, of the justices […] Read more ›

Donald Trump’s long-threatened trade war has finally begun. The Trump Administration slapped big new tariffs onto Canada, Mexico, and China Tuesday, spurring retaliation from other countries, a market sell-off, and new fears about the future of the US economy.

The government produces many of America’s most important economic indicators. And that data influences the media’s coverage of the economy, which likely colors voters’ views of the president. These facts have long led partisans to fear presidential manipulation of economic data. Specifically, during Democratic presidencies, conservatives have often sought to dismiss positive economic trends by […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s decision to halt American military aid to Ukraine is one of the most dramatic US foreign policy shifts of recent years.
