Trump’s Kennedy Center Shakedown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The saga of Donald Trump’s repeated attempts to slap his name onto the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will not go away. In May, Trump lost in court and was ordered to remove his name from the building. But now—according to a 57-page presentation by Trump’s hand-picked executive board obtained by The Washington Post—the Kennedy Center is warning that it will likely go bankrupt. Unless, that is, Trump gets to put his name back on the wall next to that of his slain predecessor. Trum
A Quarter Century of Panic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like most Americans, I spent September 11, 2001, filled with both rage and dread. I wanted the United States to find and kill whoever had planned this attack on my country. I knew little about al-Qaeda, but whoever did this, I thought, must pay. As the shock of that day wore off, I began to wonder, as so many others did in America and around the world, Now what?

When Donald Trump looks at a map, he doesn’t see nations. He sees property. All of those pretty colors do not represent actual places filled with human beings who have distinct cultures, languages, and histories; the planet, to Trump, is a big board game, like Risk or Monopoly. Greenland isn’t a real
Hegseth’s Pentagon Lurches off the Rails (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sign up for Inside the Trump Presidency, a newsletter featuring coverage of the second Trump term. Making Pete Hegseth the secretary of defense was always a huge gamble. A television host with little background in national-security or defense affairs, who topped out as a major in the National Guard, he was nominated based on the same qualification shared by most of Donald Trump’s other appointees: loyalty. And now the price of that gamble is evident. The Pentagon is careening offtrack under a se
