An increasing number of Americans are becoming concerned about immigration. As am I. And I am an immigrant. But my concern isn’t tied to the specter of hordes of criminals crossing our borders, as Donald Trump and many of his supporters insist, or to immigrants causing the cost of urban housing to soar, or to […]
Listening to Mike Johnson and Donald Trump’s fearmongering news conference about noncitizens voting in federal elections Friday, I was reminded of the long history of anti-immigrant rhetoric in the United States.

Las Vegas, Wolfson noted, “was taboo for so many decades with the NFL” because of its association with sports betting. I wonder if Goodell would have smiled if he […]
The crowdfunding platform GoFundMe announced this week that it had hit a milestone: raising $30 billion since its founding in 2010. “This is a testament to the tremendous impact that comes from people asking and offering help,” CEO Tim Cadogan said in a news release. That’s up from $9 billion in 2019, something that can […]
I am not an alarmist by nature. From my time as a prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal, I have never doubted that justice would prevail or that democracy would survive. I never doubted that our union would last — until now. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s actions at the southern border and his reaction to the […]
The United States is a perpetually optimistic country, so perhaps it is not unexpected that we don’t want to think seriously about what our aging population needs. It is a lot more pleasant to view retirement as a chance to finally visit that faraway vineyard you always meant to check out, not as an opportunity […]
