Washington's lack of diversity is hurting democracy
A recent wave of media attention has pointed to a toxic workplace culture in much of the Washington, D.C., political ecosystem. From the viral “Dear White Staffers” on Capitol Hill, to growing worker dissatisfaction at liberal nonprofits, it's become clear that the policy field doesn't always practice what it preaches when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Devastating defeat for rights of women
Overturning Roe v. Wade is not the first time the Supreme Court has driven a dagger into the heart of human rights and further divided a deeply troubled nation. But not since the 19th century have there been other decisions so dreadfully indefensible and consequential.

Elon Musk is not the populist he pretends to be
In the latest chronicles of Big Tech's most contentious tycoon - Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla, founder of SpaceX and self-described “free speech absolutist” - the illusion of a populist hero is flickering.

National Ocean Month highlights global climate action
On June 8, World Ocean Day, President Joe Biden announced plans to designate the Hudson Canyon - the deep Atlantic submarine canyon that is an extension of New York's Hudson River Valley - as a marine sanctuary.

Check yourself: Gov. Hochul reminds voters who provided them a rebate
The pro-Gov. Kathy Hochul message is going out to millions of New Yorkers, landing in their mailboxes right before the Democratic primary next week. No, this isn't a fancy color campaign flyer paid for from her considerable war chest touting our endorsement, but a plain, 8.5-inch by 3.5-inch document from the state Tax Department.

If Biden gives up on climate, it's a white flag for the planet
