The Lost Journalistic World of 9/11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editor’s Note: Five years ago, the Monthly published this piece, which remains timely today as political violence smolders and news media face continued financial challenges. I was getting a late start, which wasn’t uncommon at newsmagazines early in the week. It was the turn of the century—and print was everything. The production of each glossy issue ran into the weekend. Work mounted on Friday and Saturday and eased at the beginning of each week. Some idiot flew into the tallest building on th
A Note on Methodology: Best Colleges for Your Tuition (and Tax) Dollars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To establish the set of colleges included in the rankings, we started with the 1,950 colleges in the 50 states and Washington, D.C., listed in the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) that awarded more bachelor’s degrees than associate’s degrees, participated in federal financial aid programs, were offering classes, and had not announced an impending closure or suspension as of June 30, 2026.

The Return of the Native (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a tumultuous time for American Jews. Start with the documented rise in anti-Semitic attacks in North America, Europe, and Australia, even in locales where Jews felt safe.

(The explosives never detonated.) All this comes amid the fallout from October 7, 2023, and Hamas’s attack on Israeli soldiers a
Trump’s Election Integrity Dud (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump’s White House address to the nation about election integrity landed with all the force of a cotton ball. No one who has followed the last three presidential elections would have predicted an honest accounting from the 47th president, who continues to falsely insist that he won the 2020 contest against Joe Biden. The octogenarian’s claims of stolen elections have long since been debunked, rejected at the time by everyone from Mike Pence to Trump-appointed jurists to the rest of the w
Can Trump Steal the Midterms? Six Takeaways from Our Election Investigation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Thursday night, President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the nation and will reportedly repeat his false claim that the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden, was stolen. Reports indicate that he’ll focus on, among other things, the Chinese acquisition of (publicly available) voter files and returns from Georgia, a state that Trump narrowly lost but whose results he sought have overturned, despite the state’s Republican governor and secretary of state insisting that vot
