Democrats are sounding the alarm over Green Party candidate Jill Stein as they look to avoid a repeat of the 2016 presidential election, in which Stein was accused of playing spoiler in key swing states.

GOP pushes false claims about migrant voting: What are the facts?

Top Republicans are laying the groundwork to claim the 2024 election isn’t secure and fair because of noncitizen voting, a theory that has lived in conservative circles since President Biden’s 2020 victory.

Who’s Going to Tell Harris the Truth About Carbon Markets?

Hardly a day goes by without a massive tech company rolling out a new sustainability initiative—or whatever it is you’d like to call Microsoft restarting the Three Mile Island nuclear facility and Amazon’s announcement on Tuesday that it’ll build small modular nuclear reactors. As Silicon Valley comes under pressure to reduce the emissions footprint of its ever-growing fleet of power-hungry data centers—exacerbated by its rush into artificial intelligence—tech companies have also broadcast their...

Haitian Immigration Is a Biden Success Story. I’ve Seen It Firsthand.

Three or four nights a week, from 10 pm to 6 am, Mireille bends over a conveyor belt, quickly plucking out bad beans or kernels of corn bound for the cannery. The seasonal work started in July, and it ends this month. After this, she’ll need to find a new job. But her biggest concern isn’t the job market—it’s what happens on November 5. She’s heard Donald Trump’s promises of mass deportation, even of immigrants who are here legally like Mireille—and she’s heard the insults he’s hurled against Haitians in particular.

Who Said It: Jonah Ryan or JD Vance?

Veep’s Jonah Ryan—the White House liaison turned congressman turned vice president—is one of the most loathsome and off-putting characters in American television history. No one likes Jonah, and it’s easy to see why: He’s a misogynistic creep who rubs everyone the wrong way. In this sense—and in his curious ability to rise in the political ranks despite his behavior—he resembles Ohio Senator JD Vance, perhaps the least-liked vice presidential nominee in the nation’s history. And Vance and Ryan are, above all, deeply weird. Читать дальше...

What “Mass Deportation” Would Mean for the Economy

Among former President Donald Trump’s campaign promises, one in particular stands out for his insistence on its importance and its potential impact: a pledge to conduct a “mass deportation” of immigrants shortly after he takes office. This proposal is likely to have far-reaching consequences for the American economy, affecting the labor market and the nation’s food supply.
