The New Republic

The New Republic is a liberal magazine from the United States that focuses on commentary about politics and the arts. It has been in publication since 1914 and has significantly shaped American thoughts on politics and culture. Established by key figures of the Progressive Movement, the magazine aimed to strike a balance between a progressive approach rooted in humanitarian values and moral urgency, while also relying on scientific insights to address social issues. It advocated for the U.S. involvement in World War One but later grew skeptical about the effectiveness of scientific liberalism. In the years following the 1980s, it began to incorporate some conservative viewpoints. In 2014, after a change in ownership and a tumultuous period that led to the departure of many editors and writers, the magazine briefly halted publication.

1 day ago | newrepublic.com | Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling

Bill Owens’s shocking exit from 60 Minutes was akin to a soldier pulling the pin on their last grenade, according to current employees at the serial magazine show. The chief producer stepped aside Tuesday after 24 years on the show, amid network turmoil related to a $20 billion lawsuit brought by Donald Trump, who has repeatedly alleged that 60 Minutes’ sit-down interview with Kamala Harris prior to Election Day had “defrauded” the American public. “The lawsuit was baseless.
The Worst Person You Know Just Had a Good Idea

Even Donald Trump’s former chief strategist believes that taxing the rich is a good idea. In an effort to advance the president’s tax bill and defang Democratic attacks on the administration, Steve Bannon is urging Trump to propose a tax hike on multimillionaires, The Washington Post reported Tuesday night. “One proposal would allow the top tax rate to revert to its level before the 2017 tax law, from 37 percent to 39.6 percent.

If you’re reading this, chances are good that you read other stories about climate change too. Looking around at the news yesterday, you may well have stumbled onto any number of Earth Day–inspired cases for optimism: “tiny climate actions” like adjusting the thermostat and propagating your plants, profiles of environmental do-gooders, steps to becoming the “best planetary citizen possible.” Those kinds of cheery spreads are standard fare for Earth Day.
Donald Trump Is Hellbent on Destroying the Economy

1 day ago | newrepublic.com | Alex Shephard

Sometime in the next year, the United States will almost certainly slide into a recession, if not something altogether worse. Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned that “there isn’t a modern experience of how to think about” the current economic situation: an unprecedented trade war, anemic growth, rising unemployment, and ballooning inflation—a recipe for potentially catastrophic stagnation.
Jerome Powell Is the Next Trump Crisis

As I write, President Donald Trump is doing what he loves best, which is to gather the world’s attention as he threatens to break some rule or other. This time he’s preparing to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, a.k.a. “Mr. Too Late [to lower interest rates], a major loser,” If only because the world can’t quite believe Trump will do this, he will do it—probably in the next day or two, but certainly well before Powell’s term ends in May 2026.

This week, world leaders and central bankers will convene in Washington D.C. for the annual spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. Both the chaos coursing through the global economy and another, related, prospect will loom over the week’s proceedings: whether the U.S. will decide to exit both these bodies. The Trump administration is currently conducting a review of its membership in international institutions, expected to produce its first findings this summer.
The Two Best Bob Dylan Films

In my column on Bob Dylan in last month’s issue, I offered a recitation and description of what I thought were all the Dylan concerts I attended over the course of some 40 years, numbering seven in all. But after that issue went out, while reading something about Tom Petty, I realized I had strangely forgotten one of them—strangely, because it was in retrospect possibly the most enjoyable one of all.

Get Ready for Expensive Tomatoes and Lots of Food Contamination

6 days ago | newrepublic.com | Heather Horn

You could soon be hearing a lot of news about tomatoes. That’s because the Commerce Department announced this week that Mexican tomatoes will be subject to 21 percent tariffs starting July 14. If this goes through, expect tomato prices to rise precipitously: The United States relies heavily on greenhouse-grown tomatoes, of which the Agriculture Department estimates 88 percent are imported, with most coming from Mexico.
