Many predicted last fall that if the Obamacare subsidies ended, millions would forgo health coverage. Gee, guess what’s happened?

Housing insecurity in the nation’s richest cities is far worse than the government claims. Just ask the Goodmans.

By Brian Goldstone

The inspiration for Brian Goldstone’s 2026 Pulitzer Prize–winning book, There Is No Place for Us, can be traced back to this 2019 TNR feature about an Atlanta woman, Cokethia Goodman, whose family became homeless even as she worked full-time.

In the story of the Goodman family, the intimate, novelistic attention that distinguishes Goldstone’s work is on full display—as is an uncompromising indictment of the structural forces to blame for their suffering.

The Daily Blast With Greg Sargent

After the Virginia Supreme Court blocked the Democratic redistricting plan, which would have netted Democrats four more House seats, Donald Trump celebrated. He called the ruling a "huge win" over a "horrible gerrymander." But Trump himself has ordered many GOP states to gerrymander maximally. So here Trump openly declared that Republicans reserve the right to rig elections while Democrats do not. His actual position is that Republicans should play by their own corrupt rules, a declaration of intent to functionally steal the midterms. Not coincidentally, this comes as a new Marist poll shows Democrats leading the generic House matchup by 10 points. Though polling averages have it at five points, Marist is a leading indicator that hints at a blue wave. We talked to Ari Berman of Mother Jones, the great voting rights reporter. We discuss the Virginia ruling, why democracy can’t function when one party serially cheats, why Democrats must respond, and what their long-term strategy should look like.
