Trump’s Washington Is a Technofascist Fantasy—With or Without Musk

/

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency was many things in the first months of the second Trump administration. It was a chain saw, a wood chipper, and “a way of life, like Buddhism,” according to Elon Musk, its fearless leader according to everyone but the president’s lawyers. It was a funnel of disinfo, a conflict […]

I’m a Farmer Who Voted for Trump. His Tariffs Are Stressing Me Out.

/

Few have felt the whiplash of President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs with China more than American farmers. The US is the world’s largest exporter of agricultural products, from corn to soybeans, wheat, and cotton. And the largest importer of America’s farm products? China. The two countries have engaged in a back-and-forth series of escalating […]

Rep. Sarah McBride on GOP Attacks: “They’re Employing the Strategies of Reality TV.”

/

My red carpet interview with Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) at the Saturday premiere of a new documentary on her history-making election as the first openly transgender member of Congress was interrupted by an adoring passerby. “Sarah, I love you!” the man shouted. “I’m a donor and I don’t even live in the district!” (“Thank you […]

Trump’s EPA Plans to Claim US Power Sector Emissions Are Insignificant. It’s absurd.

/

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Donald Trump’s administration is set to claim planet-heating pollution spewing from US power plants is so globally insignificant it should be spared any sort of climate regulation. But, in fact, the volume of these emissions is stark—if the US power sector were […]

President Donald Trump’s war on dissent is ramping up. As protests continue to unfold in Los Angeles over workplace raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the president on Tuesday threatened any protesters planning to attend Saturday’s military parade in Washington, DC with “very big force.” (Saturday is also Trump’s 79th birthday.) “We’re celebrating […]

The Head of a New RFK-Backing Group Promoted 9/11 Conspiracy Theories and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion

/

Before May, most people in Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s so-called Make America Healthy Again movement likely weren’t familiar with Leland Lehrman, a self-styled media entrepreneur, anti-vaccine activist, and former teahouse owner who once unsuccessfully ran for the US Senate in New Mexico. Lehrman claimed Israel is “a leading candidate for […]

Will Trump Force America to Break Up?

/

I live in Vermont, 268 miles from Canada’s capital of Ottawa and 487 miles from Washington, DC, so an interesting thought experiment is: Why do I identify with the United States? I’m legally an American, of course, and Canada doesn’t need me—but those are practicalities. What I’m asking is, at least at first, a philosophical […]

ICE Agents Concealing Their Faces: Can They Really Do That?

Trump Is Lusting for Violence

/

With tensions still lingering after National Guard members descended into Los Angeles this weekend, sending protesters who had been demonstrating against ICE’s workplace raids into clashes with law enforcement officials, President Donald Trump on Monday appeared determined to escalate the chaos. “IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. “I […]
