President Donald Trump's tariffs were a chaotic week. First of all, they were on, then they were great, and they were probably off, and definitely off (but for now).Stocks fell quickly after the Trump administration enacted a 25% tariff on most Mexican and Canadian goods on Tuesday. As of Thursday, the S&P 500 had fallen almost 4% since the beginning of the week.For now, these duties appear to be pending. After creating temporary sculptures of imported goods by the US automaker on Wednesday, Trump announced Thursday that he would suspend tariffs on many people, not all Mexican and Canadian goods.…

President Donald Trump made the surprising announcement on Thursday that his Cabinet Secretary actually runs the agency they lead – and Elon Musk isn't. The president then added that the secretary will work with Doge (the government's efficiency department) on future spending cuts, but he said they should be “accurate” to cut jobs – using “Scapel” rather than “hand hatch.”Trump's statement, which was first made privately during a cabinet meeting before that version was posted to the True Society, was widely interpreted as a restraint on Musk's rampage through the federal workforce, and was able to mark the end of…
What do you do with Meghan Markle? Or, sorry, like Meghan Sussex, the Duchess, she tells Mindy Kaling that she likes to be called on her new Netflix lifestyle show. With love, Megan. It's difficult to know what you should think about Meghan Markle/Sussex every day. Meghan (Shall we just keep things simple and stick to her name?) has long been caught in public traps that are so strange that it's hard to see her objectively. Much of her criticism is rooted in racism and misogyny, and is imposed on the malicious intent of being easy to hang out aside.…
The past few years have violated many of my assumptions about human progress. Twenty-year-olds are going MAGA. More and more Americans say that women should return to their “traditional” roles in society. For some reason, we have decided to gamble with bringing back once-eradicated deadly diseases. And now, add to the list: Cow’s milk is back. Sort of.Last year, US dairy producers sold about 0.8 percent more milk than in 2023, according to US Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics, the first year-over-year increase since 2009, when milk prices were historically low. That may not sound like much, but it’s a…

President Donald Trump shocked the establishment of foreign policy by completely overturning America's status against the Ukrainian-Russian War and turning on fledgling democracy while giving a friendly overture to Ukrainian invaders Russia.The US has provided the total US$136 billion in military assistance that Ukraine has received from its allies since Russia invaded in 2022.

Elon Musk and his government's efficiency is rampaging through the federal government. But he endorsed Barack Obama before he accidentally fired a nuclear safety worker on his dog team and declared Donald Trump that “a straight guy can love another man.” In other words, Musk is a complex, mercury man. To better understand him, the seven Voxwriters will teach you what they have learned to help you understand the billionaires.Men with extraordinary risk toleranceAccording to biographer Ashley Vance, Musk won about $250 million, or $180 million after tax, selling PayPal to eBay. He then turned around and threw his money…
Since its launch in 2025, more than 27 million egg-selling chickens (9% of flocks across the country) have either died of avian flu or (terrifyingly) to slow the spread.It led to a shortage of eggs and a surge in prices, which costs twice as much as what we did in early 2022 when this latest bird flu outbreak began.Due to its impact on grocery bills, mass murder of egg-selling chickens has attracted much more attention than the more routine cruelty in the egg industry. However, every year, far more chickens are brutally killed for a totally different purpose, regardless of…
For millennials everywhere, two of the most glamorous and terrifying fashionistas of the 2000s were the hosts of TLC’s What Not to Wear, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. London’s Cruella streak of white hair, Kelly’s herringbone suits — the polish! The fabulousness! The way they would cackle over a hapless victim’s mom jeans and dated ’80s perm before literally throwing their whole wardrobe in the garbage — well, the meanest eighth-grader you know would have to work hard to be that scary.What was most compelling of all about London and Kelly, though, was the idea that they could actually tell…
