Ross Douthat: Will The Ukraine War End the Age of Populism?

Is populism a poor fit for this particular moment? In light of the American attention span, I would caution that we should wait more than three weeks before jumping to conclusions.

Breaking Points: Matt Taibbi: Orwell’s 1984 Comes True In U.S. Propaganda

We are “fascism.” We are “authoritarianism.” In light of our experience with the liars who led us into Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, we don’t want to jump into a war with Russia over Donbas, a place which 99% of Americans know virtually nothing about and have never visited and which literally no one cared […]

Crude Oil Crashes Below $100 a Barrel

That is, if you are a […]
