Der erste Satz stammt diesmal von der Autorin und Filmregisseurin Doris Dörrie, die ein Buch über das Wohnen und ihr Leben geschrieben hat. Maja Beckers und Alexander Cammann stellen es in der neuen Sachbuchfolge von Was liest du gerade? vor. Doris Dörrie erzählt davon, wie sich die Einstellung zum Wohnen seit ihrer Kindheit verändert und was unsere Wohnträume über uns aussagen. Doris Dörrie feiert am 26. Mai ihren 70. Geburtstag – wir gratulieren! Ein erschütterndes, bisher fast unbekanntes Kapitel aus der Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus hat die polnische Autorin Karolina Sulej in ihrem sensationellen Buch „Persönliche Dinge“ erstmals aufgearbeitet: welche Rolle Kleidung und Mode in den KZ spielte, wie sie der Entmenschlichung der Häftlinge diente und ihnen andererseits manchmal bei der Bewahrung ihrer Individualität half. David A. Graham, Reporter bei „The Atlantic“, rekonstruiert in seiner spannenden Recherche die Ideen und Pläne hinter der Trump-Regierung: Minutiös wurde in den vergangenen Jahren im Think Tank „The Heritage Foundation“ all das vorbereitet, womit der Präsident jetzt Amerika komplett umbauen will. Neugierig haben nicht nur Katholiken in aller Welt in den vergangenen Wochen nach Rom gestarrt. Erst starb Papst Franziskus, dann gab es das geheimnisvolle Konklave, bei dem überraschend der erste Amerikaner auf dem Heiligen Stuhl landete: Leo XIV. Was es mit dem Amt des Papstes seit 2000 Jahren auf sich hat, erklärt ein 1996 erschienener, jetzt wieder aktueller Klassiker, Horst Fuhrmanns Geschichte der Päpste.

Why is Everyone Talking About Project 2025 & Should You Be Worried? How Dangerous Is It? What Does it Mean for America? Is Project 2025 Trump's agenda? No matter which side of the political aisle you're on, America is being reshaped, and it's important to be aware of these big changes that will impact so many of us. As Trump's first 100 days in office for a second term comes to a close, we're breaking down Project 2025 - what it is, who's really behind it, how it's already restructuring society, what else is to come, the global implications, and why we need to start finally taking it seriously. David A. Graham (political & national affair staff writer at The Atlantic, author of The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America) gives his political analysis of the hidden dangers of Project 2025 — from mass federal layoffs and the erasure of environmental protections to the terrifying push for Christian-only values and a government that could soon look unrecognizable. With whispers of invading Canada, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and rewriting democracy itself, Graham dives deep into how this political earthquake could dismantle the U.S. system as we know it — and why now, more than ever, we need to wake up, speak out, and fight for what's left of due process, education, and basic rights.

When Donald Trump returned to the White House, Project 2025, a 900-page blueprint by conservative leaders, started reshaping the U.S. government from the inside out.

Don't say we weren't warned. Project 2025, the 2022 Heritage Foundation's 900-page policy blueprint, unambiguously plotted out the strategy of the second Trump administration. As Atlantic staff writer David A. Graham makes clear in his refreshingly brief The Project, the Heritage Foundation document is an verbose summary of Trump 2.0's ambition to reshape government by strengthening executive power, promote traditional family structures, eliminate climate regulations, attack DEI initiatives, restructure the civil service and (gasp) outlaw pornography. Graham sees this project as both radical in its methods yet traditional in its values, produced by isolationists intent on resurrecting their fantasy of small town America. Five Point Takeaway* Project 2025 was created by former Trump administration officials under the Heritage Foundation to provide a comprehensive policy agenda and staffing strategy for a second Republican presidency.* Despite Trump publicly distancing himself from the project during his campaign, many of its policies are now being implemented, particularly through executive orders and civil service reforms.* The project emphasizes traditional Christian values, binary gender definitions, nuclear families, and aims to use government power to promote these views through various policies and incentives.* On climate, the project seeks to eliminate climate research, end climate-related regulations, and promote fossil fuel extraction, prioritizing economic growth over environmental concerns.* Graham believes Democrats could learn from the project's systematic, forward-thinking approach rather than remaining reactive, as Republicans are reshaping government in ways that may be difficult to reverse.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Donald Trump spent his last campaign distancing himself from Project 2025. But since returning to office, he's followed its blueprint with surprising precision. It's already reshaped American life and the workings of government – but could the most dramatic changes still be ahead? Today on The Bunker, Jacob Jarvis sits down with David A. Graham, author of The Project, to explore Project 2025 and how its authors' growing influence could shape the future of the Trump administration. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Many of President Trump's first policies in office — including removing Temporary Protected Status for migrants, walking back climate protections and denying trans personhood — were laid out and published back in April 2023, in the Heritage Foundation's playbook Project 2025. “Project 2025 envisions an America where abortion is strictly illegal, sex is closely policed, public schools don't exist, and justice is harsh,” writes Atlantic staff writer David A. Graham in his new book, “The Project.” In it, he analyzes the nearly thousand-page blueprint to make sense of what we've seen from Trump – and what could be ahead. He joins us to share what it all could mean for our democracy. Guests: David Graham, staff writer, The Atlantic Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For all our conversation about this year's presidential election, it's important that we look past the next four years as well. How will our nominees shape their parties for the next generation? What will happen when the DNC and GOP lose their acting idols? Well, we just need to look to former President Barack Obama to find out. He molded the Democratic the party to his candidacy and left them hollow in his wake. David A. Graham from The Atlantic joins the show.

When you think of “hard news”, a company that once published an article called “13 Potatoes That Look Like Channing Tatum” probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Yes, in this episode Hannah and Maia are tackling Buzzfeed - the millennial fluff aggregator that managed to be on the cutting edge of digital journalism for a bit there. And in the process, changed the way we consume news, and maybe even the societal flow of information altogether. Journalism is in crisis… and is Buzzfeed to blame? Listen for riveting discussions such as: the digital media gold rush and its inevitable demise; is Trump the attention economy personified? Is Justin Bieber one of the four horsemen of the news apocalypse? And… does Anna Wintour really have a f*ck ass bob?  SOURCES: Jill Abramson, “Why BuzzFeed and Vice Couldn't Make News Work” Vanity Fair (2023).

In this episode, Shadi and Damir analyze the Rittenhouse verdict and question how the media's framing shaped people's initial reactions. The conversation turns to the state of American democracy. Damir questions whether he has been too glib about the recent moves made by the Republican Party. Is our democracy approaching an inflection point? Part 2 of our conversation is available for subscribers. In the episode, we dive into Damir's last Friday Essay "The Coming Storm". Was Damir too pessimistic about the state of the post Cold War order? The U.S. should rethink its foreign policy priorities, but what should those new priorities be?

There's a good chance that President Trump knows that the stain of impeachment will be part of his legacy. And as damning details about the president's behavior trickle out, we're realizing how much we still don't know. This may explain why impeachment may be more popular than we realize. President Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper in 2016 that he had a "great relationship with God," and that he "doesn't do a lot of things that are bad." Yet, a basic Christian confession is that all of us have fallen short of the glory of God and are in need of God's forgiveness." How do Christians reconcile President Trump's lack of personal morality with their wide support for his presidency? We also bring you interesting factoids about impeachment and a deep dive into the words that are emerging from the process. GUESTS: David A. Graham - Staff writer at The Atlantic Jennifer A.

The crew looks at the crisis in Venezuela and considers the American and world responses to it. Is it any of Washington’s business what goes on there, and will any result have democratic legitimacy? Will more sanctions help to quickly resolve the situation in a way that benefits the people there, or will they increase the suffering?

On October 2nd, Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, never to be seen again. Details of the journalist’s brutal killing and dismemberment have since emerged, prompting an international crisis for the kingdom and its de-facto ruler, crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. This week, The Atlantic’s Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg sits down with Fred Hiatt, the Washington Post’s editorial page editor and Jamal Khashoggi’s former boss, to discuss the man Khashoggi was and what justice may come after his death.

Outrage over families separated at the border has reached a fever pitch. Social media is awash with images of undocumented migrants held in cages, sounds of children crying for their parents, and viral videos of a callous administration response. On Wednesday, President Trump caved to immense political pressure and signed an executive order meant to end family separation at the border. But what effect will it actually have? Video producer Jeremy Raff has been in McAllen, Texas, attending "mass trials" of immigrants—many of whom have been separated from their children with no certainty on when, or if, they will be reunited. Raff shares what's happening along the border, then staff writer Priscilla Alvarez joins to discuss what the news in Washington means for separated families.

That Pence is the vice president of the United States is "a loaves-and-fishes miracle," writes McKay Coppins in the latest issue of The Atlantic. It's remarkable enough that "an embattled small-state governor with underwater approval ratings, dismal reelection prospects, and a national reputation in tatters" would be chosen as a presidential running mate at all. But unlikelier still is the fact that Pence, known for his devotion to Christ, would become the most prominent character witness for President Donald Trump. How did Pence reconcile his deeply held Christian values with his defense of Donald Trump after the revelation of the Access Hollywood recording? Would he support Trump if the presidency were within his own reach? And what do his decisions illuminate about evangelical Christians' attachment to the president? In this conversation, McKay shares what he's learned about Pence from reporting on his stints as governor, radio host, and frat snitch.
