Once a year, typically after sunset in the late summer, the coral baby-making process begins. Large colonies of coral spawn, spewing out sperm and eggs, often in pea-size bundles, that drift around until they encounter the spawn of other corals.

It’s hard to imagine a lawsuit that faces more challenging political headwinds than Mexico’s case against US gun companies in Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos.

President Donald Trump’s first weeks back in the White House have been nothing short of dizzying. He kicked off his second presidency with a fury of policy actions — imposing (then postponing) tariffs on Canada and Mexico; barring transgender people from serving and enlisting in the military; and eliminating many US foreign aid programs. He […] Read more ›

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) underlings are powering his takeover of the government with a “hardcore” work ethic that sacrifices sleeping for around-the-clock grinding. Musk boasted that they are working long hours, even over weekends because their “opponents” take that time off. They moved sofa beds into the Office of Personnel […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump is no stranger to conspiracy: He rose to political prominence by touting the racist lie that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. His team isn’t either: Take Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longtime baseless conviction that childhood vaccines cause autism or the billionaire Elon Musk’s promotion of the 2016 “Pizzagate” conspiracy […] Read more ›

Elon Musk might be the most powerful man in America. Donald Trump has put his patron in charge of the federal bureaucracy, allowing Musk to tailor the administrative state to his whims, which are far-reaching and almost certainly unconstitutional. The tech mogul has shuttered a government agency in defiance of Congress’s will, orchestrated mass layoffs […] Read more ›

Who hasn’t heard the phrase “ignorance is bliss” a thousand times? Like all cliches, it sticks because it’s rooted in truth, but it’s worth asking why ignorance can be so satisfying.
