Governor Newsom is walking back a signature program that provided a medical safety net to 1.6 million undocumented immigrants.

The headlines scream it daily: Markets are fluctuating wildly, AI is transforming entire industries overnight, supply chains are fracturing, and the workforce is reshuffling at unprecedented rates. According to the World Economic Forum, 78 million new job opportunities will emerge by 2030, but this comes amid massive workforce transformation, with 77% of employers planning upskilling initiatives while 41% anticipate reductions due to AI automation. All these moving parts are playing out against a global background of financial insecurity, war, climate change, and political disruption.

Wallace Stegner’s words still resonate today even as wilderness protections come under threat.

As summer approaches, millions of Americans begin planning or taking trips to state and national parks, seeking to explore the wide range of outdoor recreational opportunities across the nation. A lot of them will head toward the nation’s wilderness areas—110 million acres, mostly in the West, that are protected by the strictest federal conservation rules.

A manager who takes on much of your work might sound good, but their lack of ability to delegate can actually become a huge problem. 

Does your manager hate to delegate tasks? It might sound like a good thing—after all, that means less work for you. But, just like having a micromanaging boss is no fun, having a manager who takes on much of your work can create a work environment that is both stifling and unproductive.

As more countries and companies compete to reach the Moon, a clear lunar legal framework can guide them to avoid conflicts and preserve historical sites.

April 2025 was a busy month for space.

This immersive, eco-forward library in North Dakota is built to honor the past—by reconnecting us with the land that helped shape a president.

Were it not for his experience in North Dakota, Theodore Roosevelt said he never would have become president of the United States. After his first wife and mother died on the same day in 1884, the eventual 26th president retreated to modern-day North Dakota to mourn and reflect. 

At the Yale Model U.N. Conference in Europe, high school students from around the world tried to simulate real diplomacy—and ran into the wall of American exceptionalism.

The United Nations was in a crisis: Elon Musk had taken control of the European Space Agency and all of its outposts in space to further the development of Starlink. Delegates to the U.N., already in a special committee discussing equitable ways to militarize outer space, discovered Musk’s plans. Hurriedly, the representatives from Japan, Germany, and Egypt came up with a way to rein in the rogue billionaire: kidnap him. Musk, ever noncompliant, hid out on the moon, took several ESA scientists hostage, and lobbed threats at the U.N. After a day-long stalemate, the delegates found a way to bring Musk safely down to Earth, regaining control of the ESA.

The web wasn’t always like it is now. It used to be weirder—in a good way. And it still can be.

Starbucks union workers aren’t as upset about the dress code; they’re upset about the lack of a contract.

On Monday, Starbucks rolled out a new dress code as part of its larger corporate overhaul. But union workers say the change is both restrictive and unproductive—and now, baristas are walking out.

Pay Billy and Sandman are just two of the intriguing horse names in this weekend’s Preakness Stakes. Here’s how top horses get those quirky names.

When a friend and I began investing in thoroughbreds in 2018, it wasn’t fantasies of running in the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness Stakes that excited us most. It was naming the racehorses. We’d seen California Chrome and American Pharoah etch their names in the sports lexicon. And while producing a horse of that caliber was a longshot, just the prospect of the announcer yelling, “Here comes [name we chose] down the stretch!” was unexpectedly thrilling.

Emergency preparedness plans too often overlook the specific needs of elders in America’s aging population, many of whom live alone.

When I lived in Florida, I had a neighbor named Ms. Carmen. She was in her late 70s, fiercely independent, and lived alone with her two dogs and one cat, which were her closest companions.

Why Citymapper, Moovit, Naver Map, Rome2Rio, and Transit all have the edge outside of the U.S.

Americans often receive a lot of grief for being less internationally traveled than citizens of other countries. But in recent years, more Americans are traveling abroad than ever before.

Using social media to help during disasters sounds great, but it’s not always easy.

When disasters happen—such as hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes—every second counts. Emergency teams need to find people fast, send help and stay organized. In today’s world, one of the fastest ways to get information is through social media.

The White House is proposing to eliminate funding for climate adaptation science in the next federal budget, and may fire federal climate adaptation scientists.

It’s no secret that warming temperatures, wildfires and flash floods are increasingly affecting lives across the United States. With the U.S. government now planning to ramp up fossil fuel use, the risks of these events are likely to become even more pronounced.

There must be a system for turning ideas and research into real-world products.

It’s one thing to invent something cool within controlled laboratory environments. It’s entirely another to scale that new baby for sale. 

Businesses and public interest groups should make efforts to forge stronger relationships.

The Ford Pinto. New Coke. Google Glass. History is littered with products whose fatal flaw— whether failures of safety, privacy, performance, or plain old desirability—repelled consumers and inflicted reputational damage to the companies bringing them to market.
