This issue for 25 May 2026 leads with a profile of congressman Hakeem Jeffries by Jason Zengerle, interrogating whether he’s got what it takes to ‘lead a Democratic takeover of the House’. Elsewhere, Yudhijit Bhattacharjee reports on a harrowing human trafficking case in Dallas—just one of the more than 2,300 cases reported in the US in the 2023 fiscal year—and Emily Nussbaum talks politics with the ‘zany’ filmmaker Boots Riley, as he gears up for the premiere of his most commercial film yet: ‘I Love Boosters’.
