As yet another tranche of Donald Trump’s tariffs takes effect, we look at why the duties might outlast him—and how American consumers will ultimately shoulder the trade war’s costs. Our correspondent visits US Space Command, which is preparing for a new age of combat in the heavens. And Gen Z’s obsession with big, personalised water bottles.
A.M. Edition for Aug 7. President Trump’s sweeping levies kicked in on dozens of countries just after midnight. But behind the scenes, negotiators are still racing to secure exemptions for key exports. Among them, chips, which are now subject to a 100% tariff - unless the importer invests in the U.S. And, the WSJ’s Stephen Wilmot and Jon Emont look at the outsize impact the trade war has had on the auto industry and the world’s poorest countries. Azhar Sukri hosts.
Five Army soldiers are shot as a man opens fire at Fort Stewart in Georgia. President Trump threatens India with new tariffs if they continue to buy Russian oil. And a Gaza man is killed by an airdropped aid shipment meant to save lives.
When you think of evil, characters like Hannibal Lecter, the Joker, and Michael Myers probably come to mind.
But what is evil really? Evil can take different forms: sadistic and brutal, but it can also be boring and normalized.
During the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, political philosopher Hannah Arendt reported on the trial for the New Yorker Magazine. Her journalism became incredibly controversial due to her account of Eichmann, viewing him as “banal,” “normal,” and a “clown.”
Learn about the “banality of evil,” what it means, how it can be used to interpret Nazi Germany, and its controversy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
Atoms are unfathomably tiny. It takes fifteen million trillion of them to make up a single poppy seed—give or take a few billion. And there’s hardly anything to them: atoms are more than 99.9999999999 percent empty space. Yet scientists have learned to count these slivers of near nothingness with precision and to peer into their internal states. In looking so closely, we have learned that atoms, because of their inimitable signatures and imperturbable internal clocks, are little archives holding the secrets of the past. David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe—back to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years ago—with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell, answering questions such as: Is a medieval illustrated prayer book real or forged? How did maize cultivation spread from the highlands of central Mexico to New England? What was Earth’s climate like before humans emerged? Where can we find clues to identify the culprit in the demise of the dinosaurs? When did our planet and solar system form? Can we trace the births of atoms in the cores of massive stars or even glimpse the origins of the universe itself? A lively and inviting introduction to the building blocks of everything we know, The Universal Timekeepers demonstrates the power of science to unveil the mysteries of unreachably remote times and places.
