In post-Dobbs America, some girls can travel hours to get an abortion; some can't. This is the story of one of them. She was raped. The nearest abortion was nine hours away. Now, she's a mom. Soon, she'll start seventh grade. time.com/6303701/a-rape…

Waymo is a godsend for working parents. Need to hand off the baby between meetings? Put them in a Waymo and send them to your partner across town. Impossible before now. Really grateful we have this technology 🙏
NEW: We uncovered multiple photos of Jeffrey Epstein at Donald Trump‘s wedding. Photos of the pair together earlier that year at an event. And video of Epstein and Trump at the 1999 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. cnn.com/2025/07/22/pol…
THIS. After lecturing progressives for years about the importance of rallying around the Dem primary winner, NY moderates are refusing to do just that. They're inflaming tensions that are sure to come back to haunt them in a couple years: x.com/danpfeiffer/st…
If a more moderate Democrat beats a progressive in the 2028 primary (as in 2016 and 2020), it will be tough to convince progressives to unite behind the nominee when the Democratic establishment won't rally behind @ZohranKMamdani after his convincing primary win.

Do you know why some are circled? I do.
Epstein’s "little black book" totals 97 pages, containing 1,571 names and roughly 5,000 phone numbers. At least 38 names are mysteriously circled, including Donald Trump's. “I got my hands on a copy,” writes Leland Nally. “I made close to 2,000 phone calls.”…
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
A drop in the bucket compared with the Colbert firing or the public broadcasting debacle, but the NYT's desire to "go beyond the traditional review" is appalling. By "traditional review," you mean, like, an essay? Crafted with thought and care? You're sick of that? God help us.
This is a great piece and explains so much of why the housing market sucks for young people right now x.com/DKThomp/status…
New newsletter: HOW THE HOUSING MARKET FOR YOUNG PEOPLE BECAME A 'TOTAL DISASTER' In 1991, the median age of first-time homebuyers was 28. Now it’s 38. This is the hardest time for young people (defined, generously, up to 40) to buy their first home in modern history. The…
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over.…

Last month, Vladimir Putin was shown a list of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia during the war. My new cover story @TIME looks at Putin's attitude toward these children, Ukraine's struggle to bring them home, and their role in the peace talks Trump is trying to advance. 1/
Absolutely. People with college educations and good jobs are feeling like they make a decent salary and yet starting a family feels impossible bc of the cost of housing & childcare. This is a massive resentment that is only beginning to be expressed x.com/bobbyfijan/sta…
I’m convinced that the inability of the “uber-riding class” to be able to afford to have kids and stay in NYC or SF, or to buy a house and have any long term stability is a major driver of this current social moment
And this is also why I don’t buy the “Zohran only won the rich woke people” narrative There is a growing disparity between people who CAN afford to move into different life stages: get married, have kids, buy a house etc. And those who cannot In these superstar cities, it’s now…
You can be 22-28 and live a GREAT life in NYC making 80,000 a year. You’ll probably have roommates, and won’t be able to splurge as much as investment bankers … but you can still live in and enjoy 99% of what the greatest cities in the world have to offer
When I was a young man, and Barack Obama was president, you could log online every day and visit so many websites that published voicey and intelligent work of reasonable length, on a variety of interesting subjects, by dozens of early-to-mid-career writers. Today, not so much
It is impossible to overstate how much the sheer oldness of Joe Biden, the obviousness of his decline, and the silence of the D establishment has tarnished the Dem brand. Gerontocracy already destroyed the Dem party (and maybe the country). The new Dems are trying to rebuild it
The generational shift in the Dem party is not necessarily left vs right. It's new playbook vs old playbook. the Majority Dems are writing a new playbook to build a bigger tent great piece by @katieglueck nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/…
