Over the course of her new memoir, Jill Biden “keeps putting up hurdles for even the most sympathetic of readers,” Amy Davidson Sorkin writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/s7…

Pope Leo's Easter message:
"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

Post-Birthright Citizenship oral arguments, a prospect Kavanaugh raised—Trump’s E.O. is thrown out, but on statutory, not constitutional grounds—deserves more attention.
Not the likeliest outcome, maybe, but one that would unsettle what had been seen as a settled right.

MUST READ: A bombshell NYT investigation shows that Cesar Chavez sexually abused young girls.
Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her.
So much more from Manny Fernandez and Sarah Hurtes —>

I wrote about Trump’s loss in the SCOTUS tariff case (and more than people may want to know about Gorsuch’s 46-page concurrence on the “major questions doctrine”) for @NewYorker
Feb 23
The Supreme Court shot down Donald Trump’s tariffs. On Friday, the President announced a new 10% worldwide tariff, this time under a different legal authority; by Saturday, he’d raised the rate to 15%.

I wrote about new books by @CarolLeonnig - @byaaroncdavis & @jonkarl , which raise questions: Was the multiheaded drive to prosecute Trump a mistake? Did it help him? And did Merrick Garland get a bad rap? @NewYorker newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…
