Fleeing Texas Was the Only Way Democrats Could Block Trump’s Plan to Rig the Midterms

/

On Sunday evening, Texas House Democrats made the fateful decision to flee the state to block Republicans from quickly passing a new Trump-ordered redistricting plan that could give Republicans up to five new seats in the US House, rigging the midterms before a single vote has been cast. It’s a risky and expensive strategy for […]

She Survived the Cultural Revolution. Now She’s Fighting “Communists” in New Hampshire.

“You cannot rely on the government,” Lily Tang Williams told me last year, shortly after Election Day. “You have to rely on your communities. You have to rely on yourself.” The week before, Tang Williams had gone viral when she slammed her Democratic opponent, Maggie Goodlander, for being a multimillionaire who couldn’t understand the working […]

How Our History Became “Divisive”

/

Weeks before losing the 2020 election, President Donald Trump offered a glimpse of the tactic that has defined his second term. It took the form of an executive order banning federal workplace diversity training; the tone was grave, the legalese pulsing with indignation. Public servants, contractors, and military personnel, Executive Order 13950 alleged, were being […]

Nuclear Football in Nagasaki

/

On New Year’s Day, 1946, one of the most surreal and disturbing sporting events in US history was held in the Japanese city of Nagasaki, less than five months after an atomic bomb on August 9 destroyed half the city and killed at least 75,000 people. The all-star football game, staged by the occupying forces […]

This $50 Billion Band-Aid Won’t Save Rural Health Care

/

In January 2021, 70-mile-per-hour winds ripped through the High Plains, from Eastern Colorado to Western Kansas, and enveloped a portion of Interstate 70 in a deluge of dust and debris that suddenly blinded drivers. The result was predictable: multiple pileups of cars and semi-trucks, with more than two dozen people injured amid tons of crushed […]

Alligator Alcatraz Swag Is the Hot New MAGA Merch

Even before the immigration detention camp deep within the Everglades officially opened, the name of the facility, Alligator Alcatraz, had become a punchline for jokes within MAGA circles. “People get out, there’s not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who was the first to announce plans for […]

Legit Climate Scientists Slam Trump EPA Report as a “Farce” and an Embarrassment

/

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. A new Trump administration report that attempts to justify a mass rollback of environmental regulations is chock-full of climate misinformation, experts say.

White House Doubles Down on Baseless “Rigged” Claims About Poor Jobs Data

/

The shock and outrage over President Donald Trump firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commissioner because of weak jobs numbers seems increasingly bipartisan. Several Republican senators told NBC News that they did not support Trump’s firing of Erika McEntarfer if it was, in fact, motivated by his displeasure over the poor jobs numbers released […]

See the Bizarre Life Forms Scientists Found More Than 31,000 Feet Under the Ocean Surface

This story was originally published by Vox.com and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The Titanic lies about 12,500 feet under the ocean surface. The pressure down there is so immense that even submersibles supposedly built for those conditions can, as we know, tragically fail. Now imagine taking a sub nearly three times deeper. That’s […]
