- Description
- Twenty-five years ago, then-governor George Pataki led New York through the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, one that killed nearly 3,000 people and left the nation’s financial capital in ash and rubble. On September 11, 2001, Pataki closed bridges and tunnels and refused his own security detail’s advice to retreat to an underground bunker in Albany. Later that day, he was sitting across from New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani in a makeshift command center in Lower Manhattan.
In the days and years that followed, Pataki saw a level of national unity that offered the only silver lining to that day. A quarter century later, that unity––even the basic understanding that the United States has been the target of a terrorist attack––has collapsed.
That collapse is what I asked Pataki about in our interview. For two decades, he has wrestled with the question he raised in his 2020 book Beyond the Great Divide: whether the terrorists ultimately...

- The fear of the forever war has captivated the American mind—and not for entirely wrong reasons. Twenty years in Afghanistan. Nearly nine years in Iraq. In the wake, Americans have turned inward: A 2023 poll showed 53 percent of Republicans now say the United States should stay out of world affairs.
Even some of Donald Trump’s most ardent defenders have joined his critics. Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie asked, “Why are we going to war with Iran?” He added, “American families in my district want to know how this is going to help them pay for groceries. How does this make them any safer in their schools or in their neighborhoods? How does this help them pay for housing? Have we learned nothing?” Former Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took a similar tack: “It’s always a lie, and it’s always America last.” Their critiques were echoed by congresspeople across the aisle. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “People of rational sense in this cou...

- The Case for Energy Abundance With Chris Wright

- Chris Wright has one of the most consequential, and least understood, jobs in Washington. As Trump's Secretary of Energy, he oversees the department responsible for shaping America's energy future: directing billions of dollars in research and development, influencing which energy technologies are built and scaled, and helping set the policies that will define the country's energy system for decades to come.
Under Wright, the Department of Energy has taken a sharp turn away from the policies of the Biden and Obama administrations. Instead of a major focus on climate change and a renewables-first agenda that sought to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, Wright has embraced what he calls "energy abundance": an all-of-the-above strategy that prioritizes expanding access to every energy source—including fossil fuels. The bet of this administration is that long-term human prosperity depends not on using less energy, but on producing far more of it. It's an approach that has its ...

- One of the wealthiest counties in the U.S. bet big on data centers—and is already seeing the results: huge increases in tax revenue, lower property taxes, and a new $102 million recreation center. The D.C. suburb of Loudoun County, Virginia, is now considered the “data center capital of the world,” housing more than 250 of them. The new infrastructure has brought jobs, economic development, and $1.1 billion in tax revenue in 2025 alone, all without raising taxes on residents.
But some locals aren’t happy. They have concerns about noise from generators, water usage, and changes to the region’s aesthetic character—not to mention a zoning loophole that’s allowed data center construction in the area to proceed for 25 years with minimal public input. In other words, residents feel shut out of the decision-making processes rapidly transforming their hometowns.
In order to make sense of Loudoun County’s data center dilemmas, Isabella Redjai sat down ...

- Matt Calkins spent 11 years as a sports columnist for The Seattle Times. Last week, he resigned after the paper refused to publish a column with a pretty basic thesis: that supporting the separation of biological males and females in sports doesn’t make you transphobic.
But Calkins says the final column wasn’t a one-off but the breaking point in a pattern of silencing dissenting voices. He describes a newsroom that changed dramatically over his tenure, especially after 2016, when what started as small edits to his columns turned into a pattern of spiked stories, sidelined pitches, and pressure to write pieces that aligned with the worldview of his paper. He says one editor told him to think about being “on the right side of history” after Calkins fought for one of his stories to be published.
The piece that finally pushed him out came after a rally outside a Seattle Storm game in support of WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, who has publicly opposed transg...
