Joy Neumeyer
Russia: Letters from the Opposition

Correspondence by imprisoned civilians accused of resisting the war in Ukraine reveals the severity of their punishments.

Diane Ravitch
Selling Out Our Public Schools

For decades, the term “school choice”—and the programs it signifies, which divert public money to private schools—was widely and rightly dismissed as racist. Now it’s the law in thirty-three states.

James Walton
Centrist Dads Unreformed

The vast social world of Andrew O’Hagan’s new novel is designed to pose a challenge to good liberal values.

Fintan O’Toole
From Comedy to Brutality

With his designs on Greenland and Gaza, Trump has signaled that his first term’s outlandish gestures are the second term’s savage demands.

Ingrid D. Rowland

Quinn Slobodian
What Is DOGE?

“US state sovereignty will be eroded to some degree by the time the dust settles on Silicon Valley Leninism and the computers of the bureaucracy boot up to a blank screen. This prospect will rightfully concern those who believe in constitutional constraints and the need for a state that does more than fund weapon systems, finance AI data centers, and cut paychecks for border police.”
