Bad news for Republicans: Trump fixed the border (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last November, Uncommon Knowledge made a tentative prediction about Venezuela. We worried that the then-rumored American intervention that did eventually remove President Nicolás Maduro could produce another refugee crisis. The article envisioned a version of Syria in America's backyard, sending Venezuelans north toward a border already transformed by years of mass migration. We were wrong. The most startling fact about migration in the Americas this year is not the existence of a new caravan, b
Free press, free pass? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yet another Newsweek reader, Robyn T. Elliott, is furious with us. After President Donald Trump barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, Elliott wrote that it was “shameful that you agree with the censoring of the fourth pillar of democracy,” adding that if Newsweek didn’t believe in press freedom, perhaps we should “rebrand as entertainment news.” Ouch. Yet our article hadn’t agreed with Trump. We reported what he did, quoted his critics and defenders, and let readers judge via our
What Trump's $5,000 'Dividend' Says About Corruption (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2014, the author and activist Jonathan Rauch wrote a wonderfully provocative essay under the mischievous headline “The Case for Corruption.” Rauch, a Brookings scholar who has subsequently been an emphatic critic of President Donald Trump, wasn’t suggesting that congressmen start accepting envelopes of cash.

In the first 24 hours of America’s war with Iran this year, the United States used an artificial-intelligence system called Maven to help strike more than 1,000 targets. The system ingests data, helps commanders identify targets and thereby assists in the process in which those targets are hit. AI has already been to war in force. President Donald Trump nevertheless has a new Force under his command. On Saturday he announced an “AI Force,” modeled on the Space Force, and promised to appoint an “
Occupy Wall Street’s Strange Legacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fifteen years ago today, hundreds of protesters began gathering around a small park in Lower Manhattan. Adbusters, the Canadian anti-consumerist magazine, had summoned them to protest economic inequality and corporate power. They had hoped to "occupy" Wall Street but police barricades instead directed them to nearby Zuccotti Park. The camp lasted until November 15, when police cleared it. So, the tents did not last, but the slogan endured anyway. "We are the 99 percent" took complex, deeply held
