Trump Is Eager to Defund Harvard, Yet Publicly Subsidized Hate Groups Get a Pass

/

One particularly surreal aspect of Donald Trump threatening the tax-exempt status of Harvard, one of the nation’s oldest and foremost educational institutions—and excluding it from federal research funding for refusing to heed the administration’s oversight demands—is the fact that even some of the nation’s most hateful and antidemocratic entities qualify as tax-exempt charities. As I […]

RFK Jr. May Have Inspired Acting US Attorney’s Harassment of Medical Journals

/

Ed Martin, the acting US Attorney for Washington, DC, had recently been peppering medical journals with “vaguely threatening” letters accusing them of acting as “partisans” in scientific debates. Those missives are just one genre within a barrage of communiques Martin has sent to perceived Trump foes—congressional Democrats, special counsel Jack Smith, a former Mueller prosecutor, […]

Why Maxwell Frost Wants Democrats to “Get Caught Fighting”

/

On a sunny afternoon in early February, two dozen Democratic representatives, clutching smartphones and talking points, converged on the Treasury Department’s public entrance in downtown Washington, DC. For weeks, a strike force from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, loosely vetted and barely old enough to vote, had swarmed federal buildings with a mandate to […]

It will proceed to unfold reams upon reams of guidance: how to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and raise the optimal child.

Why is Everybody Hating on Richie Rich?

/

For kids like me, who grew up in the 1960s and ’70s, comics were a big deal.
