The Justice Department was seeking to dismiss a lawsuit, originally brought forth by the Biden administration, challenging Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s efforts to purge voter rolls.

Is Your Hummingbird Feeder a Lifeline or a Death Trap?

/

Hummingbirds run on sugar. Sweet nectar powers their tiny, furious bodies and super-fast wings, which beat as many as 80 to 90 times per second.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.
