The Justices Undermined the Federal Reserve’s Independence. Now They Want Backsies.

/

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court sat for oral arguments over whether the all-powerful president the justices have created in recent years can control the Federal Reserve. The end of Federal Reserve independence would reset the global financial order, tank retirement accounts, and give the White House vast new powers. After a two hour hearing, the […]

Grok’s Leering Pictures Are the Newest Version of an Old Problem

/

There’s a picture of myself that I had saved on my desktop for years; I suppose we could call it a caricature. A little more than a decade ago, someone on a Nazi messageboard pulled a photo of me from social media, then updated it with some antisemitic flair: a little cartoon rat sitting on […]

The Canadian PM’s Davos Speech Is Unmissable in a Time of “Rupture”

/

President Donald Trump famously doesn’t like to read. And if his increasingly frequent public naps are any indication, his attention span is only getting shorter. But he did claim to watch what one historian praised as a “riveting, extraordinary and brutally honest” speech by Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada yesterday in Davos, Switzerland. And […]

Trump’s Abortion Strategy? Do Nothing. But His Base Has Other Plans.

/

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump made a suggestion that landed on a key part of his far-right coalition like a sucker punch. Referring to negotiations over the Affordable Care Act, he urged House Republicans to be “a little bit flexible” on the Hyde Amendment, which for 50 years has banned the use of federal […]

How ICE Became Trump’s Very Own Paramilitary Force

/

Over the last few weeks, Minneapolis has looked like a city under siege.
