Strongman Governor Ron DeSantis transformed the Sunshine State. Can he sell his blueprint to the nation?
IT'S A TUESDAY MORNING IN TALLAHASSEE, AND a wood-paneled hearing room at the Florida legislature is packed. The state senate's fiscal-policy committee is considering a bill to prohibit most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, and dozens of citizens have lined up to testify: anguished young students in colorful hair and ABORTION IS HEALTH CARE T-shirts; little old ladies wearing cardigans and crosses. For hours they speak in emotional terms as the senators listen.
Yet an air of inevitability hangs over the proceedings. Governor Ron De Santis supports this bill, and therefore it is destined to pass. In Tallahassee these days, what the governor wants, the governor gets. It is De Santis who welcomed this fight, DeSantis who calls the shots, and DeSantis who will reap the credit-or blame-for his latest move in a frenzy of right-wing policymaking.

OUR AGE OF DISTRUST
In 1624, the English poet John Donne wrote, “No man is an island entire of itself.” And yet in 2026, the Edelman Trust Barometer finds that 7 out of 10 people across 28 nations are hesitant or unwilling to trust people who have different values, approaches to societal problems, or backgrounds than they do. For most people, distrust is now the default instinct. Only one-third tell us most people can be trusted.

The most under- appreciated movies of the 21st century
WHENEVER I BROWSE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA or Letterboxd to see what movies young film lovers are discovering, I often see the usual suspects: pictures made by Hitchcock, Coppola, and Scorsese, with a smattering of classic films noir or romantic comedies thrown in.

The D.C. Brief
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LAST year successfully wrestled control of one of the nation's dominant performing-arts stages with unheard-of efficiency. He ousted its leader, installed a loyalist at the helm, made himself the chairman of its reconstituted board, scrambled its programing calendar, alienated cultural leaders, exiled its resident opera company, declared himself the M.C. of its biggest fundraising gala, and treated it like an annex of the White House for events that cast him as the headliner.
