The White House says that an unidentified staffer was responsible for posting a racist video of the Obamas—yet the video remained on President Trump’s Truth Social account for 12 hours, Hana Kiros writes.

astounding reporting from @hana-kiros.bsky.social on the US-led plan to build temporary housing for displaced Gazans and its potentially permanent consequences. "It’s unclear if there was any consultation at all with any Palestinian." www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

SCOOP: The Trump admin confirmed its new Gaza plan to me. “Alternate Safe Communities” Palestinians approved by Israel will relocate to temp. housing on Gaza's IDF occupied side. Israel's military told the U.S. that people who move in can't go back to where 98% of Gaza's population lives. 🎁 link

Around the world, defibrillators, motorbikes, and water towers from cancelled aid projects are being donated, sold, or simply abandoned. me for @theatlantic.com on what’s happened to the stuff taxpayers bought to help people. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

The administration will incinerate enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week. When it burns, its label will read: THIS PRODUCT IS A GIFT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. 500 tons, from us, to no one. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it" @hana-kiros.bsky.social, on spending $130,000 to burn food worth $800,000 www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

the 🐐 @matteowong.bsky.social and i tried to explain some of technical reasons for why grok went nazi as well as some of the less technical ones (prompting Grok to use X posts as a primary source and rhetorical inspiration). It's all quite awful and illuminating www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

RFK JR. has made the anti-vaxx agenda a part of American foreign policy. A lot of kids will probably die as a result. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

My little brother’s friend—a 10th grader—lost big sports betting on Robinhood, of all places. Gambling has never been this easy or accepted! And the government allocates exactly zero dollars to help people being consumed by it. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Some signs point to gambling problems increasing since sports betting was legalized. If addiction really is on the rise, the U.S. is unequipped to deal with it, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports.

Smart and thorough from @hana-kiros.bsky.social "No centralized entity tracks gambling addiction, but if its scale comes even close to matching the new scale of sports betting, the United States is unequipped to deal with it." www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Two American companies manufacture an emergency food product that can save starving children, even those who are days away from death by malnutrition. @hana-kiros.bsky.social spoke to those companies, who now have no way to get their product overseas www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/kQAZFJJw

Here's @hana-kiros.bsky.social on what dismantling USAID means. Mostly it means dead children. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

A pause on saving live means exactly that. Me on USAID’s rapid destruction for @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Good reporting by @hana-kiros.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

My latest for @theatlantic.com looks at an important new study suggesting that ulipristal acetate could serve as a substitute for mifepristone in medication abortion. Big thanks to @rachgutman.bsky.social & @hana-kiros.bsky.social for superb edits.

What other app will show me what it’d look like if Justin Bieber played Glinda the Good Witch. My latest @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Love social media video fullscreening = 'the wormhole' @hana-kiros.bsky.social: "clicking any video leads to the entry point of something common to all these platforms: the wormhole. The app expands into full-screen mode to serve me an infinite scroll of videos" www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Hi! Are you an ex (or current) Spotify employee? Would love to chat for an @theatlantic.com story. DM!
