As a principled libertarian, I'm going to ignore the government persecution of E. Jean Carroll and write another piece about the NYU students who don't like Jon Haidt.

Trying to remember my French before I leave on Sunday for my residency at Le Moulin à Nef, so I don't accidentally board a train to Vladivostok.

Donald Trump promised the war in Iran would end with unconditional surrender. But he never said which country would do the surrendering.

Who was president on January 6, 2021? It depends who you ask.

Last night at a faculty reading for Poetry by the Sea, I read new poems, including two that celebrate the Manhattan Bridge. Sorry/not sorry, Hart Crane.

Cubans are starving and have gone weeks without electricity and clean water due to Trump's blockade of any oil reaching the island. Here's why we aren't covering this.

Mentally unstable nepo babies at the highest level of government have brought America to its knees. That’s why Democrats need to nominate Jack Schlossberg for Congress.

In paragraphs 1-19 of today’s story on Trump’s Jesuspalooza, evangelical zealots are repeatedly quoted stating that separation of church and state has no historical basis. The only actual historian consulted isn't quoted until paragraph 20. For a busy NYT reader, it's hard to know who to believe.

Whether it’s Donald Trump stealing $1.7 billion from the treasury to share with his friends or Hillary Clinton using a private email server to share risotto recipes with her friends, there’s plenty of inappropriate sharing on both sides.

Opinion | The Times is reporting that my cousin Jack Schlossberg is behaving erratically, cycling through unqualified staff, and seems out of his depth on key issues. Unfortunately, he also has some bad points. by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The AWP Writers Conference had a panel about Imposter Syndrome. I tried to go, but it was so crowded they barred the door. I guess only the cool kids got in.

Finally, a major American newspaper whose editorial board is courageous enough to stand up for the rights of big tech companies.

6,940 consecutive days of aerobic exercise. Nineteen years.

Liberal universities offer too many courses in vague, poorly-defined, made-up areas. by A. Middling Whiteman, Palantir Chair of Western Free Speech Studies, University of Austin

As a DC reporter, I don't endorse mindless war, militarized cities, illegal abductions, defunded medical research, government insider trading, and mass pardons of violent criminals. But in the name of our norms, tonight I will break bread and share laughs with the president who did all of this.

Last night's referendum in Virginia could have a chilling effect on Republicans' ability to game the system to keep control of Congress.

Twitter uses algorithms that ensure that 90% of the most visible accounts will be on the far right politically. Here's why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

A Senate resolution against Trump's war with Iran could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to start pointless wars at the behest of foreign leaders without Congressional approval.

Was genuinely taken aback by how bad this article was www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/o...

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

New York City's record-low homicide numbers in the first quarter of 2026 raise new questions about Zohran Mamdani's approach to policing.

The New York Times's David Sanger sanewashes Trump's impeachable insane Easter threat against Iran as "unusually vivid"

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

I support the end of birthright citizenship because it’s time for criminals to stop moving here, stealing from the government, taking drugs, and fathering dozens of children out of wedlock. by Elon Musk

Under Zohran Mamdani, gas prices have spiked, the stock market has cratered, and the US is locked in a nonsensical war with Iran. Is this really what New Yorkers signed up for?

How it started. How it's going.

Whether it’s Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Donald Trump saying that he’s glad that Robert Mueller is dead, both presidents shattered some of Washington’s most sacred norms.

Editor's Note | To properly allocate resources for Iran War reporting, we will be sunsetting coverage of: - Trump's crypto bribes - Trump's real estate, golf, and hotel bribes - US military strikes on Venezuelan fishing boats - Alex Pretti and Rene Good - Data theft by DOGE - the Epstein files

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old money incinerating factory. So when Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth started spending $1 billion per day on a war with Iran, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

Corey Lewandowski to begin affair with Markwayne Mullin

There will be no more regime change wars. Instead we will fight wars in order to leave the regime unchanged. by Donald Trump

Analysis | George W. Bush's Iraq invasion was preceded by months of meticulous planning, and yet history regards it as a failure. Perhaps Donald Trump's loose, improvised approach to invading Iran will be the key to its success.

Critics say that Trump's war with Iran could have a lot of blowback. But there is no historical precedent for the United States overthrowing an Iranian government and then facing 50 years of hostility from Iranians.

Analysis | If the right-wing Ellisons are allowed to purchase CNN, they could order Jake Tapper to obsessively focus on Biden's age, or demand that Van Jones to say Trump truly became president today, or allow Scott Jennings to brazenly tell baldfaced lies on a nightly basis.

Kash Patel celebrated the US hockey team's victory the right way. by Ezra Klein

The fact that we are two Supreme Court votes away from being a full-fledged dictatorship shows that our judicial system is working. by Noah Feldman

Prince Andrew to seek asylum in the United States and join Donald Trump’s cabinet to avoid further persecution.

There was no happy ending for Patriots' owner Robert Kraft today.

Infuriating @nytimes.com

President Trump's norm-shattering posts have reset our nation's political dialogue.

The Atlantic was founded in 1857, the New York Times in 1851. So it's a bit surprising that David Brooks is leaving the Times for the Atlantic, given that the Atlantic is only six years younger.

David Brooks is leaving his position as a columnist at the New York Times to become the Atlantic's airport whiskey correspondent.

Source: ICE to begin using empty Melania theaters as temporary detention facilities.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Infuriating. Be brave and bold, Senator Gillibrand. @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social

Gillibrand is legitimately even worse than Schumer.

There are few things more disturbing than witnessing the government gun down your fellow citizen on a city street. The more Democrats share video of this, the more they alienate reasonable centrists. by Editorial Board of the Free Press

Americans must have the right to bear arms so that they can resist tyranny. But if they exercise that right in a time of tyranny, they should expect to be shot and killed.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social Trump not is advancing "one-sided narratives"--he is telling lies. You presuppose two sides, when in this situation there are not. He is telling a lie, a word that @nytimes, with all its primness & bothsidesism, refuses to use. And thus the NYT itself denies the truth.
