I have a really important question to ask myself and everyone else today: www.theverge.com/politics/663...

Naturally the first American pope is named Pope Law Enforcement Officer

Before she was chosen as Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General, Dr. Casey Means launched a health-tracking company with a tech CEO...who’s now a key DOGE operative in charge of dismantling the IRS. (Also, it was backed by Marc Andreesen because of course.) www.theverge.com/politics/663...

here's that Starter Pack of Polygon people you were looking for bsky.app/starter-pack...

"Current liminal FTC commissioners Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya. Welcome, thank you for being here." www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...

Trump tried to ban TikTok in 2020 — now, it’s his megaphone to Gen Z. Read more from @tinanguyen.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/politics/656...

Trump became famous for outrageous quotes and juicy scandals that he fed to NYC tabloids and reality TV. In other words, he's good at generating nonstop, attention-grabbing content. No wonder he -- and the MAGA influencers in his inner circle -- want to save it. www.theverge.com/politics/656...

In Vietnam, the war is called "the American War." The Verge's package commemorating the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon is now fully live: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Windows 11’s voice typing will soon let you turn off the ****ing profanity filter

I have finally done it. It has taken three years to pull this together. This is my grand unified theory of why the MAGA beat (and everything in politics and possibly the world) has turned into a batshit hot mess. I present to you: The Infinite Fringe. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

It used to be easy to kill a conspiracy theory. But the internet has made them immortal — and politically powerful. Read more from @tinanguyen.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

if you’ve recently traveled into or out of the US and had any unusual interactions with CBP, i’d like to hear about them (regardless of immigration status—citizens, permanent residents, visa holders) email: gaby @ the verge dot com, i’m also on signal ✨

I would be very content being an award-losing journalist but I am so so honored and surprised to have my work recognized like this. I love this ridiculous job and I am grateful I get to do it. 🫶🏼

Are GPUs — the powerful chips that AI companies rely on to run their algorithms — about to get tariffed? Nobody knows. Nobody in the government knows, either. And it’s sending the AI industry into a spiral. From me and @kylierobison.com: www.theverge.com/tech/643753/...

Guess who was listed as “Conversation: TBA” at this Y Combinator event in DC

it's important to have a healthy news diet
