No one does it like @petridishes.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

In which @sallyjenx.bsky.social so beautifully captures want makes a great newsroom truly great. Here’s to all of the wildly dedicated people who—no matter the hour, the destination, or the danger—grab a notebook and run toward the action no matter what. www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

A smart, perceptive essay by the great Lily Meyer—on two American presidents, and two very different notions of the arts: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

"We deserve so much better." Read @ashleyrparker.bsky.social on what it means to love a newspaper—both for the citizens who rely on it, and the people who make it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Everybody listen to Walt. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Part of what makes @michaelpollan.bsky.social so compulsively readable is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. Here's his latest, new in The Atlantic: www.theatlantic.com/science/2026...

SCOOP from @nickmiroff.bsky.social: • Bovino demoted • "Kristi Noem and her close adviser Corey Lewandowski, who were Bovino’s biggest backers at DHS, are also at risk of losing their jobs" More here: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Tyler Austin Harper’s latest is very much worth reading: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

“Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus. Fascist best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

George Saunders is famously kind—but he’s also hilarious. I spoke with him about where his ideas come from, how he deploys humor in his work, and more. www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...

Must-read of the day: Stephanie McCrummens’s deep-dive profile of Pam Bondi www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail” was first published in The Atlantic in August 1963. Today is a very good day to read it again. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Must-read @anneapplebaum.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. outlined a strategy to expose official brutality. Anti-ICE protesters are following it…” @galbeckerman’s latest: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

This is really worth reading: www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The Atlantic's @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social interviewed the chief of the Danish army. "When I asked whether Danish forces would really fight back against Americans, he demurred. 'This is highly political,' he said. 'And I’m just a soldier.'" www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

This story is fascinating, and also an important historical document. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... Franklin Foer interviewed 50 federal workers who were either fired or forced out—or who retired/resigned "rather than accept what their job had become."

Couldn’t help but notice that A LOT of people are reading this story this week: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Donald Trump wants you to forget this happened. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

"So, about all that Venezuelan oil..." This is such a helpful article in understanding the whole situation. Rogé Karma's latest: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This year’s flu season really is bad—and well within the bounds of just how awful the seasonal flu can be, @katherinejwu.com reports.

This is smart, by @galbeckerman www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...

This is a huge deal. @alexreisner.bsky.social’s latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Extremely timely and just as important—The Atlantic's new season of "Autocracy in America" is out today, hosted by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social. Really worth listening to: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

The Atlantic's @petridishes.bsky.social went on a five-month quest to carry out various government functions post-DOGE. It... went poorly. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

If you want to understand the Trump administration’s attitude toward protecting law enforcement in the line of duty, read this: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This observation is as straightforward as it is crucial, worth reading every word, from @adamserwer.bsky.social's latest:

No one writes more beautifully about space than @rossandersen.bsky.social. And this has the benefit of being not just magisterial, but extremely important. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Great question

NEW www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

There is no way to do @petridishes.bsky.social's latest justice with a summary. Just read it, believe me: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Has anyone checked on the vice president? @dgraham.bsky.social's latest: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Just published in The Atlantic: A deeply reported look at Stephen Miller’s tremendous influence inside the White House (and his obsession with making everyone in America look like him)—as Steve Bannon puts it, he’s basically Trump’s prime minister. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

One day in, and this is already a huge hit: Check out our new column from The Atlantic's one and only @drewlgoins.bsky.social—on how to build more happiness and adventure into your life, one day at a time: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The Atlantic’s newest cover story is out this morning. Extraordinary reporting from Jamie Thompson. Everyone should read this: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

President Trump to @michaelscherer this morning: “We do need Greenland, absolutely.” This is quite something: www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Fly Eagles flyyyy

Six-seven is over. Long live six-seven. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

I have written an elegy to Six-Seven, which is dead, or at least dying. It is not a meme—memes are the purview of greedy adulthood attention thirst—but a case of Childlore. Though irritating, it should have been left alone.

One of the most fascinating aspects of this @kait.bsky.social story is how much the debate over AI mirrors the debate over political violence and violent rhetoric more broadly. Must-read: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"Hegseth has a point: Maybe Kelly shouldn’t be in Congress." @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues that Kelly, not Hegseth, should be Defense secretary: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Brb going to put cabbage in a soup. @giladedelman.bsky.social's latest: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

"Burger King and Kraft Natural Cheese each do an advent calendar, as does Red Bull, though I gotta say, that one looks suspiciously like a normal 24-pack of cans." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

This made me laugh. @caity.bsky.social is hilarious. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

What is everyone reading over Thanksgiving break! I need to assemble a stack of excellent books. To start, I just bought George Packer's new novel, The Emergency—very excited about this one: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
