The Reason RoundtableWhy Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump Hate the Netflix DealThis week, editors Peter Suderman, Katherine Mangu-Ward, and Matt Welch are joined by associate editor Liz Wolfe to sort through the political free-for-all surrounding the Warner Bros. and Netflix merger. They look at why Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) is urging regulators to block the deal, why President Donald Trump says he plans to get personally involved, and how Jared Kushner's role in a rival Paramount bid is reshaping the fight. The panel digs into whether this moment signals a real return to trustbusting or another round of theatrics from both sides. The editors then turn to the ec...

Local zoning rules put limits on what can be built and where. Zoning rules restrict how high a building can be, or how many units can occupy a given parcel of land.  In some cases, they also require aesthetic features that can be cumb...

Pell Grant recipients would be eligible for up to $20,000 in debt cancellation. This would completely eliminate student loan debt for millions.

After two decades of fighting, U.S. involvement in the war would finally be over.  A year after the chaotic and violent withdrawal, America's exit from Afghanistan has produced new challenges. Among the biggest is the resettlement of roughly 100,000 Afghan refugees uprooted by the war.

The precise motivation for this horrific killing remains murky, with some reports suggesting the killer was mad about Abe's connections to the Unification Church. But the method has sparked some discussion about violent crime and its causes. That's because Abe was shot with a gun in Japan, a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the developed world. Some analysts have suggested that Abe's killing, however awful, nevertheless highlights the success of Japanese gun...

It was a great place to work, own a home, and raise a family. California was the American dream. Over time, something changed. California was never exactly a cheap place to live. But more and more, it became prohibitively expensive—especially in and around San Francisco, the epicenter of the tech industry. Some Californians, however, are voting with their feet.
