Like every take I've ever written, this one could be wrong. But from the deranged replies to this—calling me a fascist bootlicker, saying I should die, etc.—you'd think the article argued for genocide. Really depressing stuff. other than "cheese is good for you"

I've spent the past year talking to James Murdoch about his father's "twisted" behavior, the mind games at the family-counseling retreat, how Fox News really works, and the war over his family's media empire. My cover story for The Atlantic's April edition: theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

"The Democratic Party, at least in theory, is an organization dedicated to winning political power through elected office, though this might seem hard to believe on the evidence provided by its official proceedings," @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The end of affirmative action was expected to cause a drop in Black and Latino enrollment at elite colleges, Rose Horowitch writes. "And yet, when the numbers came in, several of the most selective colleges in the country reported the opposite results."

I wrote about the new empty nesting — seniors opening up their spare bedrooms to younger renters looking for a cheaper option. It’s an underrated idea that bridges generations, boosts needed housing supply, and helps more people afford to age in place www.vox.com/housing/3960...

This is a damning exposé on how Democrats lost Latinos in every year they faced Trump with no one asking the obvious questions of why it was happening. Just brutal.

A pretty standard bit of conventional wisdom over the past 10+ years: moving to the left on immigration policy might lose you some white voters, but it'll sure win you a lot of Latino voters. The second part turns out to maybe never have been true. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This has got me thinking that we talk about voter priorities in an overly simplified way. Trans rights are not a top issue for either side. But voters overwhelmingly believe that Democrats care more about it than the cost of living. That's another mechanism by which it might have moved votes.

Absolutely eye-popping result from a survey conducted by @dyudkin.bsky.social and @stephen-hawkins.bsky.social. Americans generally believe that Democrats are obsessed with LGBT issues—but it's not true. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"In the collective mind of U.S. voters, the concept of democracy appears to be so muddled, and their commitment to it so conditional, that it makes you wonder what, if anything, they’d do anything to stop its erosion—or whether they’d even notice that happening." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
