The women saving America's climate data
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER DONALD TRUMP WAS elected President for the second time, a group of federal data watchers gathered in Denice Ross’s dining room. As chief U.S. data scientist under the Biden Administration, Ross had a clear window into just how much information the government collects—whether monitoring a fleet of ocean buoys to guide safe shipping routes or tracking how vulnerable communities are to disaster—and just how useful it is.

The Risk Report
THE U.K., FRANCE, AND GERMANY—Europe's political core—begin 2026 with weak, unpopular governments under siege from populists on both the left and right, and a Trump Administration openly working to undermine them. None of these countries holds general elections this year, but all three face risks of political paralysis—and maybe lasting damage.

Working more doesn't make you more productive
HISTORICALLY, THE WORKER WHO LOGGED THE MOST hours at work was an organization's most valuable employee. But that isn't necessarily the case anymore: as AI promises to transform how we work, and the four-day-workweek movement gains steam, it is time to admit once and for all that working more does not make you more productive.

What does Trump really want with Greenland?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD HIS SIGHTS set on Greenland for years. He first offered to buy the island—an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark—in 2019 during his first term, in what he described as “essentially a real estate deal.” Since his re-election he has redoubled the push to acquire the territory and repeatedly threatened to annex it, despite pushback from Greenland itself, Denmark, leaders of other European countries, and even some prominent members of his own party.

A WAR AND DRUGS
Drug overdoses take about 100,000 American lives each year. President Donald Trump has claimed each of his airstrikes on 35 Venezuelan boats saved at least 25,000 lives by targeting trafficking, which should put us eight years ahead. Except no evidence of any drug cargo has been revealed. And Venezuela is not a major transit point for fentanyl, which causes most overdoses.

Menopausal women in revolt
In the early 1990s, young women raised on second-wave feminism but marginalized within the punk scene revolted. Dubbed riot grrrls, bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile aimed wrathful lyrics and gallows humor at a culture of misogyny as it manifested in their own lives, from condescending male musicians to abusive fathers. Now, those artists are in their 50s. And while sexism persists, it touches older women in different ways.
