    President Trump earned more than $1 billion from crypto in 2025. How?
    2026/07/01
    According to recent financial disclosures, President Trump made more than $1 billion from his crypto ventures in 2025.

    That means President Trump earned more money in 2025 from crypto than he did from his real estate investments that took decades to build.

    How did he pull this off?

  • In two landmark rulings, the Supreme Court wades into major political battles

    In two landmark rulings, the Supreme Court wades into major political battles
    2026/06/29
    Today, the Supreme Court ruled on two cases that deal with major political battles.

    The first deals with mail-in voting, which President Trump has criticized for years.

    The Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that allows election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later.

    In another ruling, the High Court ruled that Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, can stay in her job for now.

    Both rulings are considered a loss for President Trump. But are they the final word on these two issues?

    For this week’s Reporter’s Notebook, we hear from Emmet Livingstone about how he balances the risk of reporting in an area where Ebola is spreading.

  • Democratic Socialists won big in NY. Do they offer a way forward for Democrats?

    Democratic Socialists won big in NY. Do they offer a way forward for Democrats?
    2026/06/24
    On Tuesday, Congressional candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani performed well in the New York primaries.

    The electoral victories were a major win for Mamdani, who put his political reputation on the line by endorsing the slate of leftist candidates.

    But about a year ago, centrist Democrats seemed skeptical of Mamdani's politics and approach. Do they have something to learn?

    Every day since the beginning of June, Albanians have protested the development of a proposed luxury resort along the country's Adriatic coast.

    Albanians are protesting government corruption -- and calling for the country's president to resign. How did we get here?
