A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

This week, French President Emmanuel Macron returns to the mundane task of forming a government as he gathers all of the parties together to hash out a compromise to replace his caretaker government. He had postponed this task to preside over the Olympics, and now that it is upon him, it will no doubt be a difficult set of negotiations, since no party has a majority in the new parliament, not to mention that his own party had a dismal showing.After his rash decision to hold national elections at the end of June, he was flatly rejected in third place...

As the world experiences what could be its hottest year on record, the right-wing groups behind the Project 2025 policy road map for a second Trump administration want to supercharge oil and gas drilling, claw back regulations and research funding, and “eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” according to one training video reported last week by ProPublica.Yet a senior staffer at one of the groups that’s contributed to Project 2025, the Center for Renewing America, or CRA, seems to have some doubts. In previously unreported private remarks, Micah Meadowcroft—who served in the Environmental Protection Agency during the Trump administration,...

“The able and the disabled aren’t two different kinds of people but the same people at different times,” the journalist Tom Scocca wrote in a recent article in New York magazine. Whoever has health one day can be deprived of it the next. Scocca was writing at the time about stunning changes to his own health. Sickness, even when easily or quickly healed, brings with it suffering or pain; prolonged illness stirs up uncertainty, loss, and grief. One can so easily cross from the realm of the healthy and able-bodied into that of the sick and impaired. And what goes...

If last month’s Republican National Convention was akin to a religious revival, then this week’s Democratic equivalent was ... well, also reminiscent of a spiritual gathering, but crossed with summer concert festival vibes (even without Beyoncé). “The atmosphere of the Democratic National Convention this week went beyond mere enthusiasm—it ventured on rapturous,” wrote TNR’s Grace Segers. “Attendees spoke of the overwhelming ‘joy’ of the occasion—a term that has been adopted by [Kamala] Harris and her supporters.”It’s hard to believe that only a month ago, the party was fracturing over whether President Biden should end his reelection campaign. “Today, Democrats look...

Today’s pod tackles a subject of profound importance: the sheer, inexplicable weirdness of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. There’s Representative Matt Gaetz’s bizarre speech, in which his face was so taut that one Republican derided him as an “AI sex doll.” There are all the ugly “Mass Deportations Now!” signs, the cultish rituals in which attendees treated Trump as their MAGA God King, and much, much more. We talked to Ron Filipkowski, who closely tracks the right wing as the head of Meidas Touch News. He helped us find meaning underneath all the ugliness and insanity. Listen to this episode here.
