The trailer for THE NEW GURUS just dropped! I apologise in advance for *that* bit. (You’ll know when you hear it.) bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m…

In light of the RFK Jr news, I revisited this 2020 piece on fluoridation of water—the evidence is not as clear-cut as I thought. The studies are mostly bad: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…


I must say I am enormously looking forward to the Musk/Ramaswamy era at DOGE. Either they will succeed, and the US government will become much more efficient and less costly. Or they will fail, and they won’t take it well, and it will be very funny.

Lucy Calkins' reading curriculum once dominated American schools. Now at 72, she faces "the destruction of everything she has worked for." @helenlewis theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Matt Gaetz is a creature of our time: versed in the art of performance politics and eager to blow up anything to get a little something. My profile of the man who would be AG here, for free: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Lucy Calkins was a superstar of American education, @helenlewis writes. Then she was blamed for the country’s literacy crisis. Can she reclaim her good name? theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Hello! Please listen to the Private Eye podcast that's just out: with @andrewhunterm away it's the first one I've presented, and I'm quite proud of it.

Great news for readers of @TheAtlantic: The estimable @jonathanchait is joining our team as a staff writer: theatlantic.com/press-releases…


I’m morbidly fascinated how this plays out longer term. So much of MAGA energy is about enjoying making the libs cry harder. What happens when they … don’t? The last week has been people digging up 2016 stuff like an addict trying to chase that first, pure high.

RW media desperate to get their "libs cry" content are coming up pretty dry this time. Cable mash-ups are pretty straightforward. Trump going to WH on Weds. Kamala gave standard concession speech. No pussy hats to be seen. Having to rely on random TikTokers to get their fix.

"One of the mysteries of this election is how the Democrats approached polling day with a set of policies on gender identity that they were neither proud to champion—nor prepared to disown." -- @helenlewis: Read the whole piece: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Episode 3 of #StrongMessageHere is up on @BBCSounds and podcast platforms. @helenlewis and I take a word or phrase from current politics and look at how it’s being used. This week: ‘Make America Great Again.’ bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m…

Obama got 69.5 million votes. Clinton lost in 2016 bc she got fewer votes than him. Harris is at 70.2 million votes and will end up with a few million more. Liberals didn't dream the Harris enthusiasm - there are just millions more Trump voters than they expected.

The type of excitement and grassroots energy i saw for Kamala Harris campaign resembled 2008 Obama. The fact she lost by millions in the popular vote just confounds me.
