The presidential Resolute Desk at the White House on Feb. 12, 2025. Andrew Harnik/Getty Images President Donald Trump’s second term as president will surely go down in history, though of course, just six months into his four-year term, much of this story has yet to be written. But it is already clear that most Americans will not be able to read exactly what Trump has said, as they have with previous presidents, during his current term in the White House.

The Invisible Target In the southern Kalahari, under a blistering sun, a bowhunter edges toward a grazing antelope. He tracks minute depressions in the sand. He reads the animal’s posture.

Japan must stop being overly optimistic about how quickly its population is going to shrink, economists have warned, as births plunge at a pace far ahead of core estimates. Japan this month said there were a total of 686,000 Japanese births in 2024, falling below 700,000 for the first time since records began in the 19th century and defying years of policy efforts to halt population decline.

If you are one of those Iranian leaders, or nuclear scientists, your calculus has to be that you can never step outside again, at least not anytime soon. I believe that situation is unprecedented in the history of wartime?
