Imperial Control: Now the President is an art critic

1 day ago | dtnext.in | Jamelle Bouie

NEW DELHI: Last week, President Donald Trump announced that he had fired the head of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. “Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am hereby terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National Portrait Gallery,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “She is a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate for her position.
Feral cities: Is civil war coming to Europe?

2 days ago | dtnext.in | Ross Douthat

Whether the debate is occasioned by a polemical book or a movie like last year’s “Civil War,” I consistently take the negative on the question of whether the United States is headed for a genuine civil war. In those debates, it’s usually liberals warning that populism or Trumpism is steering the United States toward the abyss.
Measured approach: Lessons From Operation Sindoor

5 days ago | dtnext.in | Shashi Tharoor

NEW DELHI: Just three weeks after “Operation Sindoor,” during which India’s military struck nine known terrorist basecamps and other facilities in Pakistani territory, an analysis of the military and operational dimensions of the strikes provides some preliminary but clear conclusions. For starters, India hit hard, but its strikes were carefully targeted and calibrated, even taking place at night to avoid collateral damage to civilians.
Flashing signals: Anti-war movement stirring in Israel

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Thomas Friedman

I just spent a week in Israel and, while it may not look as if much has changed — the grinding war in the Gaza Strip continues to grind — I felt something new there for the first time since Oct. 7, 2023. It is premature to call it a broad-based anti-war movement, which can happen only when all the Israeli hostages are returned.
Gendered infantilisation: Why are people weird about women dining alone?

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Callie Hitchcock

I eat alone at restaurants — and I do it a lot. This usually seems to make people around me uncomfortable. Recently, I went to a restaurant for dinner and mistakenly booked a table for two instead of one. The host and I hashed this out, and I sat down. The chef working that night saw me and came to say how sorry she was that I had, in her mind, been abandoned for the evening.
Technofeudalism: From creator of ‘Succession,’ a delicious satire of Tech Right

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Michelle Goldberg

In November, when 'Succession' creator Jesse Armstrong got the idea for his caustic new movie, 'Mountainhead', he knew he wanted to do it fast. He wrote the script, about grandiose, nihilistic tech oligarchs holed up in a mountain mansion in Utah, in January and February, as a very similar set of oligarchs was coalescing behind Donald Trump’s inauguration. Then he shot the film, his first, over five weeks this spring. It premieres Saturday on HBO — an astonishingly compressed timeline.
Red wine, clear liquor... Is there a least bad alcohol?

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Caroline Hopkins

NEW DELHI: If you’ve heard that red wine is better for you than beer or liquor, or that clear liquor like vodka or gin is less harmful than dark liquor like rum or whiskey, we have bad news. “Alcohol is alcohol,” said Jürgen Rehm, a senior scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. Drinking any type of alcohol, in any amount, is bad for health. Still, experts say, it’s sometimes not reasonable or even practical for people to avoid alcohol entirely.
Supreme Court arming Trump’s power arsenal

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Kate Shaw

NEW YORK: Since taking his second oath of office, President Trump has been on a firing spree. In violation of numerous laws or longstanding presidential practice (or both), he has ordered the removal of many high-level officials who normally retain their positions regardless of who is in the Oval Office. Some of these high-level officials have successfully challenged their removal in the lower courts.

Big Budget Bomb: Will it detonate?

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Ezra Klein

WASHINGTON: For reasons I will not pretend to understand, we live in an age when the only truly bipartisan idea is that landmark legislation demands triple-B alliteration. President Joe Biden’s signature proposal was Build Back Better. Now, President Donald Trump has yoked his presidency — and all of us — to his “big, beautiful bill.”Let me suggest another name for it. I’ll even stay on trend: Big Budget Bomb. It’s always possible things will change.
