Nikole Hannah-Jones’s daughter is smarter and wiser than her mother, and is correctly outraged by the ideological zealotry that led her mother to privilege a bunch of mawkish nonsense over her only child’s wellbeing.
“There’s no benefit that came out of you putting me in those schools. No benefit at all.”

Madonna is 68. There’s nothing wrong with aging gracefully, and there’s nothing wrong with taking care of your body and skin. But trying to reverse time, and presenting yourself as though you’ve somehow escaped it, is embarrassing.

They found 5 "men," one of whom is a chick who looks wildly uncomfortable showing off her butchering, and 3 of the remaining 4 are gay while the last one is "partners" with a bi-sexual actress whose husband killed himself. What "man" doesn't feel represented by these people?
WELCOME TO OUR FIRST MEN'S STYLE ISSUE.
We've often covered men’s style over the years. There was the 1971 cover story wondering if men would get into high heels for fall and the 1996 profile of male super-models (“They’re hot, they’re rich, they’re openly straight”). And for three seasons starting in 2006, the back half of the women’s fashion issue was a mini men’s magazine. Now, 20 years later — when even 15-year-olds are “hype” about Ralph and Armani’s got a brand-new designer — it feels like the right moment to dedicate an entire issue to the subject.
One thing we’ve noticed from the runway: wearing all your clothes at once. And another for our peptidian age: wearing hardly anything at all. Somewhere in between is our shoot at the Russian & Turkish Baths on East 10th Street, where photographer Ryan McGinley shvitzed and kibitzed with some of New York’s most stylish men, including Sivan, who just moved to the city.
"I love women. I think they're great, but what a ridiculous statement that is."
President Trump pushes back after a reporter asks him about former President Barack Obama's claim that governments around the world would be better off if women were in charge for two years.
Obama says things would not be "perfect" under his hypothetical, but he's confident they would be "better."
Trump isn't buying it, calling the idea "ridiculous."

This week's Beyond the Polls looks at polling methodology with GOP pollster Jon Lerner. Plus, I rant about why recent GOP candidates have been smart to distance themselves from Trump, and the ads of the week take us back to the Jurassic Era. Listen!

This story should really be covered for what it is: a grave threat to the jury system. Who's gonna want to be on a jury now?
New from @bethanyshondark: @TrackerPayton on how the algorithms on social media gave us Lindsay Clancy defenders and Luigi Mangione fans.

Another installment in the saga of Florida Man!
You don't need to be rich to enjoy Florida water. You need redneck engineering, an inflatable SUP, a lawn chair, and a $12 umbrella from Dollar General. 😎
Florida Man doesn't take no for an answer. He Cletus-Clampetts a yes together and breezes past the jet skis like a drunk Tim the Temu-Tool Man Taylor.
The climate change yacht people are still miserable in floating air conditioned prisons. This guy is floating on a pool toy like he owns the Gulf of America...
Want happiness? Be like Florida Man. 👍

She worked at one of the best hospitals in the country as a labor & delivery nurse. Her husband worked for a big tech company making $400k. She had better access to healthcare than just about anyone in the USA. That was not the issue. If anything the discussion should be about reopening asylums.

Jamie Raskin, the Democratic congressman from Maryland, is adamant that Europe has no free speech problem. He thinks their model is great.
BREAKING NIUS: Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz will Social Media massiv einschränken und sagt: "Komme mir niemand mit Free Speech!" Man müsse "immer noch in der Lage sein, die Bürger vor falschen Informationen zu schützen."
Gegen Männer wie Merz haben wir das Grundrecht der Meinungsfreiheit als Abwehrrecht. Seine Sicht auf die Bürger ist gefährlich und grenzt an einen verfassungsfeindlichen Verdachtsfall.

The point of a Jury finding isn’t to make a social statement or make a social change, but to determine whether the facts support a particular verdict in a case.
It’s very concerning that some of these jurors apparently viewed their job as something else.

What Vance is saying here is rubbish and he's smart enough to know it. Politicians have been, in effect, bribing voters with their own money forever, but this takes it to a new level, not least because the tariff money wouldn't come close to covering the payouts.
Baier: $5000 for every adult citizen, that's about $1.3 trillion. The critics will say the president is bribing voters and he's bankrupting the country.
Vance: Tariffs have generated a lot of revenues. The president is saying, if you keep us in power, then you will share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we are creating
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cost of sending $5000 to every adult US citizen is estimated at 1.3 trillion dollars. US tariff revenue was approximately 195 billion dollars in fiscal year 2025.
