The New Yorker brings you current affairs, comment, fiction, reviews, humour, and goings on about New York every week. All leavened by a healthy dose of cartoons.
This issue for 12 January 2026 leads with a profile of Pope Leo XIV, the first American to head up the Catholic Church and hold sovereignty over the independent state of Vatican City. Plus, Jordan Salama documents the horrifying reality of Trump’s America, as a Mexican couple face the difficult decision to leave the U.S.—and their children—behind amidst increasing ICE crackdowns.
