The stunning triumph of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in a German state election represents a true “challenge to democracy” and has shaken the country’s Jewish community, said author and activist Dr. Ofer Waldman, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast “It's the first time that a right‑extremist party has had such a landslide victory in Germany,” said Waldman, who heads the Heinrich Boll Foundation office in Tel Aviv. Haaretz writer and editor David Issacharoff, who joined Waldman on the podcast for a discussion of the election results, said that state of Saxony-Anhalt, which gave 44 percent of its vote to the controversial AfD party, is populated by voters who “feel abandoned, forgotten, and very isolated,” blaming the state and mainstream parties for their situation and channeling their resentment in an extremist political direction. This is worsened, both Waldman and Issacharoff said, by the fact that East Germany was not part of the post-Holocaust democracy education push in the West. "Keeping Jewish memory there is a real struggle of individuals in that state, and they're up against real forces of neo‑Nazis,” Issacharoff noted, Both commentators pointed to the contrast between the expressed deep worry and concern of the German Jewish community regarding AfD antisemitism, and the resounding “utter silence” coming from the Israeli government – together with comments from Israel’s ambassador in Berlin during the election campaign that highlighted antisemitism on the left, while downplaying the AfD’s positions. "When Israel and its representative in Germany focus all the fire towards the left, then they're totally absolving the right from its responsibility for antisemitism. And when the representatives of the Jewish state say that, it matters in Germany," Issacharoff said. Waldman added the source of the dissonance was “what is perceived as a mutual enemy” by Israel’s far-right government. “The AfD is perceived as the enemy of the Muslim community in Germany and, as such, a possible ally to the current Israeli administration,” Waldman said.

According to research from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2, only about 39% of autistic students who pursue postsecondary education earn a degree within eight years of leaving high school, compared to 52% of the general population. Studies also show that while approximately one-third of autistic young adults enroll in college, many face significant barriers to completion without the right accommodations, transition planning, and support systems.¹² In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, we sit down with Carol Waldman, a passionate advocate dedicated to improving outcomes for neurodivergent young adults as they navigate the critical transition from high school to college, employment, and independent adulthood. As the parent of a neurodivergent son who graduated from the University of Wisconsin, traveled independently throughout Europe, and completed an internship in Washington, D.C., Carol has experienced firsthand what is possible when young adults are equipped with the right resources, advocacy, and support. She also understands the challenges many families face when school-based services end and young adults are expected to navigate adulthood on their own. Through her volunteer work with Autism Tree and her role as a parent mentor, Carol helps families recognize that college and meaningful careers are attainable goals for neurodivergent students. She shares practical strategies, resources, and lessons learned from her own family's journey while helping others build confidence in their children's potential. Beyond individual advocacy, Carol believes lasting change requires policy reform. Drawing on decades of experience in political and public affairs—including service as an Executive Board Member of the California Democratic Party, State Delegate, legislative field representative, and National Delegate to the Democratic National Convention—she is now focused on advancing legislation, programs, and systemic solutions that improve postsecondary education, employment opportunities, and independent living outcomes for neurodivergent young adults. Join us for a powerful conversation about possibility, advocacy, independence, and the collective responsibility to create pathways where neurodivergent individuals can not only succeed—but thrive.

For decades, local journalism's business model rested on advertising, subscriptions and philanthropy. Now, according to Rebuild Local News co-founder Steven Waldman, a fourth leg is rapidly emerging: public policy. New state laws, tax credits and government-backed initiatives have already directed more than $129 million into local newsrooms, with tens of millions more expected this year alone. Waldman says the shift signals a major new chapter in how communities may ultimately sustain local journalism.

A few years back, novels classed as “romantasy”—a portmanteau of “romance” and “fantasy”—might have seemed destined to attract only niche appeal. But since the pandemic, the genre has proved nothing short of a phenomenon. Sarah J. Maas's “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series has repeatedly topped best-seller lists, and Rebecca Yarros's 2025 title “Onyx Storm” became the fastest-selling adult novel in decades. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz are joined by their fellow New Yorker staff writer Katy Waldman as they delve into the realm of romantasy themselves. Together, they consider some of the most popular entries in the genre, and discuss how monitoring readers' reactions on BookTok, a literary corner of TikTok, allows writers to tailor their work to fans' hyperspecific preferences. Often, these books are conceived and marketed with particular tropes in mind—but the key ingredient in nearly all of them is a sense of wish fulfillment. “The reason that I think they're so powerful and they provide such solace to us is because they tell us, ‘You're perfect. You're always right. You have the hottest mate. You have the sickest powers,' ” Waldman says. “I totally get it. I fall into those reveries, too. I think we all do.”This episode originally aired on February 13, 2025.Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Did a Best-Selling Romantasy Novelist Steal Another Writer's Story?,” by Katy Waldman (The New Yorker)“The Song of the Lioness,” by Tamora Pierce“A Court of Thorns and Roses,” by Sarah J.

Straub is a Guggenheim Fellow, a New York Times best-seller, and the owner of Brooklyn's Books Are Magic, where she helps celebrate our vibrant literary world through countless readings and events.Straub's new novel, American Fantasy, has been named one of the most anticipated books by Time, The New York Times, People, and Harper's Bazaar. Set on a nineties-boy-band-themed cruise, Straub's characters explore the intersections of aging, nostalgia, memory, and possibility, creating a hilarious, intimate portrait of the surprises and reawakenings that life can provide.On April 11, 2026, Emma Straub came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk on stage with Ayelet Waldman. Waldman is the author of A Really Good Day, My Marriage, and the essay collection Bad Mother. Her new novel A Perfect Hand will be published in May. She was one of the creators of the Netflix show Unbelievable, and was an executive producer for the show Star Trek: Picard.
Where in the world is David Waldman? ™ David has left "on vacation" for the next few weeks... similarly to Eric Swalwell, but for quite dissimilar reasons. In fact, Mr. Waldman talked to me in a small Ohio diner only yesterday and just might be heading to your town soon! Only a few days ago, Donald JFC Trump announced a beautiful joint venture, shaking down tankers with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz. The following day, Donald discovered that those Iranian bastards were holding on to his cut! Two days later, Trump decided to set up his toll booth a hundred yards ahead of Iran's, then flay and impale those trying to hop his turnstiles. (This is all about Uranium, by the way.) Who's to blame? JD Vance is set to be Trump's Biden of the midterms. Vance's failure in Iran folded right into his failure in Hungary. "Obliterated Iran" and "Unoustable Orbán" were pretty slow pitches to whiff, too. The Trump administration has been trying to explain to our allies that the greatest threat to the world are the people most opposed to the Trump administration, and if those countries don't believe that, then they are also the greatest threat to the world. Trinidad's prime minister is using that same energy to aim US guns at those who oppose her.

On this episode of On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom is joined by Matt Waldman to dig into the brand‑new 2026 Rookie Scouting Portfolio and break down the most fascinating skill‑position prospects in this year's class. Waldman shares his early evaluations, big swings, and the traits that separate the real difference‑makers from the pretenders. The guys dive into Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, a passer with surprising nuance and a ceiling that might be higher than people realize. They examine whether Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love — the top running back in the class — can make an instant impact at the next level, or if landing spot will determine everything. And they break down why Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq might be the best move tight end in the entire draft, with the kind of athletic profile that changes how an offense operates. watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/OnC2BoKF6Zs

SynopsisToday is International Women's Day, a global celebration of the social, economic, political, and cultural achievements of women, so here's a French composer whose name you may not have heard before, but you should!After all, her music was good enough that Gabriel Fauré, Paul Dukas, and Maurice Ravel performed it at musical salons in Paris. She was a close friend of the famous composer and teacher Nadia Boulanger, studied organ with Louis Vierne, and composition with Vincent d'Indy.But enough name-dropping. Her name was Charlotte Sohy. Born in Paris in 1887, and in the early decades of the 20th century, achieved both professional status and public success as a composer, writing masses, art songs, piano pieces, chamber music, and this symphony, which dates from 1917.Unlike many women composers of the past, Sohy's husband fully supported her career. After all, he was also a composer, and she even collaborated with him on a few of his pieces. Still, even in cosmopolitan Paris, she chose to publish her music under the pseudonym Charles Sohy, and while her chamber works received performances, her symphony remained unperformed during her lifetime.Music Played in Today's ProgramCharlotte Sohy (1887-1955): Symphony in C-sharp minor; Orchestre National de France; Débora Waldman, conductor; Palazzetto Bru Zane Label BZ-2006

Bei einem Psychopath denken wir an Serienkiller und eiskalte Verbrecher – doch das ist nur die halbe Wahrheit. Manche von ihnen bringen es an die Spitze von Unternehmen, glänzen in Medien und Politik oder werden amerikanische Präsidenten. Furchtlosigkeit, Charme und emotionale Kälte – Eigenschaften, die zerstörerisch wirken können, sind zugleich oft Schlüssel zu Macht und Erfolg.
