Now on sale! “This is not just the story of the Chinese in America; it’s the story of any number of immigrant groups who have been treated as strangers. It’s the story of our diverse democracy. It’s the story of us.” penguinrandomhouse.com/books…
.@emmaogreen has the most sophisticated piece I've read, situating Adam Hamilton, the Methodist megachurch pastor in Kansas who might help Democrats take the Senate. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…
This is a really cool 360 visual story, looking at Place de la Republique over the years, as a locus of protest. newyorker.com/news/social-hi…

Very moved by @JordiGraupera on Michael Walzer. This does something that could be called "thinking together": a writer thinking along with, and about, a thoughtful subject so the reader can think in new ways. (The opposite of a thin, preachy "think piece") newyorker.com/culture/person…
Been here. I'm an investigative reporter by background and this process exceeded my capacities. @michelleinbklyn on the insane NYC public high school admissions process. nytimes.com/2026/10/19/opini…
"Actually, in America, the reading of books is up. Sales of print books have increased nearly twenty-five per cent from a decade ago." Luxuriate in this @nathanheller profile of James Daunt, of Daunt Books fame and CEO of Barnes and Noble. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…
.@Scaramucci and @NewYorker meet again. He talks to David Remnick about his distant successor making it just .45 Scaramuccis.

Disturbing look by @rubycramer at the online blast radius of the Cornell case. It includes the alleged perpetrators, the victim, the person who doxed her, and people with no connection to the case at all. newyorker.com/news/american-…
Hmmm. "three sources with knowledge of the situation told me that the White House had at least been explicitly warned that cancelling T.P.S. would disrupt construction projects in Washington." newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Good to have @sbg1 back in the saddle for her weekly column as we enter the midterms homestretch. Every Thursday evening, she’ll be narrating the week in Trump’s Washington.
‘Tipping point’: The week the Republicans finally panicked about the midterms…
my new column is up @NewYorker: newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…
Read this by Nikole Hannah-Jones. May it spur a movement. nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…
Worth reading, or re-reading today. John McPhie on Arthur Ashe, one of the greatest pieces of sports writing ever published. newyorker.com/magazine/1969/…

"Underneath all the gullibility and the capacity to hate and kill, we are a cooperative species. Just too easily panicked by the unfamiliar."

NEW from next week’s @NewYorker: “We all have our issue buckets,” a West Wing staffer told Antonia Hitchens—national security, immigration, foreign policy, and so on—“and the project portfolio, the construction, is a key policy focus itself now.” newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…
Here is Gloria Steinem’s final essay, published tonight by @NewYorker. “When you’re lucky enough to have lived a long life, as I have, your role is to remind us how far we have come.”
