Whole milk resonates with MAHA and MAGA, which assert that America will return to glory if it can re-create the past 🥛 An illustration of Trump as an old-fashioned milkman — “Make Whole Milk Great Again” — was all about the purified nation, untainted by modernity www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

The GOP will probably evolve into something that echoes MAGA without actually being MAGA.

Also, he just isn’t mean enough.” www.rawstory.com/amp/maga-267...

Because he does not understand how the Mercator projection distorts size, Donald Trump thinks that Greenland is “massive” and that it must become part of the United States. If Trump uses force, he could trigger global catastrophe — even World War III. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Bruen is not law. Rather than constraining how judges decide cases, it merely requires them to cite historical sources while reaching whatever conclusion aligns with their politics. On a 6-3 Republican Supreme Court, that means the Hawaii law in Wolford will likely fall. www.vox.com/politics/474...

The ICE agent who killed Renee Good could have walked away and left everyone unhurt. It’s illegal for a law-enforcement officer to kill a civilian trying to flee. But letting protesters escape, without punishing their disrespect, would let them “get away with it.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"The idea of turning Greenland into America's rare-earth factory is science fiction. It's just completely bonkers," said Malte Humpert, founder and senior fellow at The Arctic Institute. "You might as well mine on the moon. In some respects, it's worse than the moon." www.cnn.com/2026/01/12/b...

What Trump is doing in Venezuela isn’t ensuring security. It’s finding a way to make a buck. When Trump decries American military entanglement, the problem is that the U.S. gets no compensation. The Iraq War was a mistake because the U.S. didn’t take Iraq’s oil. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Trump has treated the 2024 election as proof that he embodies the public will. Performing in Trump’s cultural center is therefore a civic duty. Since the administration can't imprison artists who don’t comply, this demand is as silly as it is presumptuous. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
