So said President Donald Trump to the people of Iran, in an early morning address announcing a joint military attack by the U.S. and Israel against the Islamic Republic. Overnight, waves of air strikes pounded military installations across Iran. According to initial reports from Israel, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been killed.
“For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted ‘Death to America’ and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder,” Trump said. “It’s been mass terror, and we’re not going to put up with it any longer.”
“They will never have a nuclear weapon,” he continued. “We’re going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground.”

- Sex shows up everywhere in American culture. Think: the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders; popular sex icons from Madonna and Britney Spears to Tate McRae and Sabrina Carpenter; the 75-foot Calvin Klein billboard on Houston Street in New York; the millions of “thirst traps” flooding social media; and popular TV shows, from Sex and the City to Heated Rivalry. Don’t get me wrong—I love both shows. But the point is, sex, hypersexualization, and eroticism are inescapable.
And yet, despite living in the most sex-saturated culture in history, people are having less of it. Among millennials and Gen Z, one in three men and one in five women report not having had sex in the past year. Among men in this age group, sexual inactivity has almost doubled since the early 2000s.
But why?
For an answer, I turned to Dr. Debra Soh, a neuroscientist and sex researcher, and the author of the new book Sextinction: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy. In the...

- Buried deep within millions of pages of the recently released Epstein files are hundreds of hours of hard-to-obtain footage.
Earlier this month, we published all 14 hours of the footage from Data Set 10, a raft of videos seized from Epstein’s electronic devices. The videos painted the most vivid picture yet of Epstein’s dark world.
Today, we are publishing 12 hours of footage from Data Set 9. This collection traces more than a decade of efforts by law enforcement to investigate Epstein. There are tapes of police searching his mansion, clips from depositions spanning multiple years and cases, and even covert footage of a Federal Bureau of Investigation sting operation to retrieve his infamous “little black book.” The footage shows, on camera, a game of cat and mouse between Epstein and law enforcement that lasted more than a decade. One way to think about it is that Data Set 10 captured Epstein’s world as he saw it, while Data Set 9 captures authoriti...

On last night’s Free Press livestream, Matt Taibbi and Gabe Kaminsky joined hosts Will Rahn and Reihan Salam for a wide-ranging breakdown of Donald Trump’s State of the Union—and what it means heading into the midterms.
Taibbi argues that, by Trump standards, the speech was unusually disciplined and politically effective, refocusing on the issues that powered his 2024 win: immigration, patriotism, and national security. The panel digs into why Democrats remain deeply unpopular, which issues are dragging them down, and whether economic messaging can still move voters who feel squeezed.
Kaminsky weighs in on what the speech signals for Republicans’ midterm prospects, Trump’s strategic silences on tariffs and China, and the growing political fault lines around AI, data centers, and energy costs.

Taylor Fogarty once made $15,000 a month for making content on OnlyFans.
She was a self-described “degenerate” party girl in Brooklyn—drinking, doing drugs, dating women, drifting between identities, and eventually signing up for sugar-daddy websites because, as she tells it, “It just felt normal.” Sex work was empowering, she was told. Men were going to objectify her anyway. Why not profit?
Today, she’s a sober Catholic mother who believes that everything she once embraced—OnlyFans, hookup culture, atheism—was built on a lie.
In this Confessions, Taylor walks through the slow unraveling of her twenties: getting sober, getting off OnlyFans, having a baby, and the moment she opened a copy of C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity intending to mock it—only to find herself convinced.
We talk about the sugar-baby economy, the OnlyFan...

- Jeffrey Epstein’s Twisted Obsession with ‘Lolita’
- Date posted

- Description
- One particular novel is all over the Epstein files: Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita.”
Among the more than three million files related to Jeffrey Epstein that were released three weeks ago are scores of references to the book. “Lolita” pops up in emails and in photos, released by the House Committee on Oversight, that show young women with quotes from the book written on their bodies.
Reportedly, this was the one and only book Epstein kept at his bedside table. He owned a first edition. He was a massive fan of Nabokov. And, of course, his plane was famously nicknamed the “Lolita Express.”
“Lolita” is a book about a 37-year-old man who kidnaps and serially rapes a 12-year-old girl. There has long been a fascination with “Lolita” in American pop culture. The illicit relationship it depicts is often glamorized in film, music, and art.

- Last month, former reality-television star Spencer Pratt announced he would run for mayor of Los Angeles—exactly one year after a huge fire ripped through the Pacific Palisades, killing 12 and incinerating nearly 7,000 structures.
That included the home Pratt shared with his wife, fellow television star Heidi Montag, and their two kids, ages 8 and 3.
So far, Pratt’s entry into the race has elicited mostly smirks: He’s an unfiltered, untested, totally unpolished Republican running in one of the most progressive cities in the country, and even though Democratic mayor Karen Bass is unpopular, she has managed to scare away serious potential challengers like developer Rick Caruso. (I recently profiled Caruso for The Free Press.)
And yet.
That might—just might—work in the June 2 “jungle primary.” (In California, the top two vote-getters in the primary, irrespective of party, proceed to the general election.)

Before I met Lucy at The Free Press offices, she was fighting to ban plastic straws and posing with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Greta Thunberg. In today’s Confession, Lucy tells us about her time in the climate movement, when she became a prominent voice on social media. She protested the Dakota Access Pipeline and pushed for the Green New Deal to be passed.
Now, Lucy describes herself as a climate realist. She doesn’t think the world is going to implode because the Earth is heating up, and she definitely doesn’t think paper straws are going to save us. In our conversation, we talk about the moment she started to question the climate movement, what it took to walk away from the cause she defined herself by, and what the science tells us now about climate change.

- For much of the past decade, parents of children distressed about their gender were asked by medical providers: "Would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?”
Parents and communities were told it was their responsibility to affirm the identity of every child who said they were transgender and help secure a medical treatment plan. A wave of children in the United States were placed on puberty blockers and, in some cases, medically transitioned with hormones and irreversible surgeries—despite the growing number of young people saying they were harmed by such treatment.
Last week, a jury awarded $2 million in damages to a detransitioner, Fox Varian, who sued her psychologist and surgeon after her breasts were removed at age 16. Three years later, she regretted the surgery and returned to identifying as female.

Is changing your mind a sign of intellectual honesty—or betrayal? These days, it can feel like most people think it’s the latter. We live in an age where rethinking a position becomes a gotcha moment—a chance for someone to pull up your old social media posts to prove you’re a hypocrite or a fraud. The pressure to not admit to changing your mind, to stick to your guns, has never been greater.
But the ability to change your mind is a sign that you are thinking for yourself. It takes curiosity, honesty, courage, and humility. And so it is worth understanding how it happens.
That’s why we’re launching a new video interview series called Confessions.
