/

Two months ago, a coalition of aid groups warned that Israel’s war on Gaza—and restrictions on food entering the strip—would cause mass starvation in Gaza imminently. Now, it has arrived, according to officials and aid groups. On Wednesday, more than 100 aid groups issued a statement outlining just how dire the situation has become for […]

The FDA Held a Misinformation Fest About Antidepressants in Pregnancy

/

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long railed against antidepressants, and now he has very practical ways to attack them. As my colleague Kiera Butler has written, Kennedy has claimed, without evidence, that they can cause addiction and school shootings. He even proposed sending people who take them to “wellness farms,” […]

Trump Reaches a Breaking Point Over Epstein Files

/

President Donald Trump seems unfamiliar with the Streisand effect, the phenomenon of inadvertently drawing more attention to an issue by trying to make it go away. The president on Wednesday unleashed another rant on Truth Social, claiming, without evidence, that Democrats are behind the uproar over the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Referring […]

Let’s Count All the Ways Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Angry With President Trump

/

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)’s fealty to President Donald Trump has, for the most part, seemed nearly unshakable. She has compared him to Jesus Christ. She has repeatedly—and falsely—claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him. And she reportedly wanted to be Trump’s VP, claiming to the Guardian that her name was “on a […]

I Watched Lara Trump’s “Interview” With the President So You Don’t Have To

/

On Saturday night, Fox News went full-on state media. Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, sat down with the 47th president to “interview” him for her show, My View, that she definitely did not get through nepotism. A journalist who lands a prime-time interview with the president might be expected to come with substantive questions, especially […]
