Where Is Obama? “I’m Out Here!” He Told Me. Watch the Interview.

Over the past few weeks, you might have noticed a renewed flare-up in a yearslong liberal freakout: Where is Barack Obama? That was the headline of a provocative essay in The Atlantic, which concluded that Obama had entered “the fierce lethargy of semi-retirement.” Cue the discourse: Articles, interviews, TikTok clapbacks, and everything in between. Everyone […]

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 […]

No, Democrats Aren’t Controlling the Weather. Neither Is Anyone Else.

Everything is a conspiracy theory if you don’t know how anything works, and that seems especially so when you take stock of the disinformation swirling in the aftermath of the deadly Texas floods. The Independence Day floods in Texas Hill Country have killed at least 121 people, with scores still missing. Yet even as the increasingly […]

Internet Extremists Want To Make All AI Chatbots as Hateful as Grok Just Was 

On Tuesday, Grok, the AI-chatbot created by Elon Musk’s xAI, began generating vile, bigoted and antisemitic responses to X users’ questions, referring to itself as “MechaHitler,” praising Hitler and “the white man,” and, as a weird side-quest, making intensely critical remarks in both Turkish and English about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as well as […]

Good Night and Good Luck

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has made clear what he thinks of journalists and what should happen to us: Thrown in jail and raped, “sued like never before,” investigated for treason, “taken off the air.” Once he reassuringly noted that “I would never kill them, but I do hate […]

Musician Uses Moths’ Flight Data to Compose a Piece About Their Decline

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. They are vital pollinators who come out at night, but now moths have emerged into the bright light of day as co-creators of a new piece of music—composed using the insects’ own flight data. Ellie Wilson composed Moth x Human in a protected […]

Jeffrey Goldberg on Signalgate, Pete Hegseth, and the Risk of WWIII

In March, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, glanced at his phone and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He’d been inadvertently included in a secret chat on Signal among the Trump administration’s national security team about imminent military strikes in Yemen. The Signal chat leaks—which inevitably became known as “Signalgate”—called into question President Donald Trump’s […]

As Political Violence Surges, Trump Shuts Down a Top Prevention Program

Since March, the Trump administration has dismantled a leading office at the Department of Homeland Security whose mission was averting terrorism and targeted violence. The Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, known as CP3, has been stripped of funding, and most of its 40-plus personnel have been fired, reassigned, or otherwise pushed out. Amid this […]
