Untangling The Mystery Of Long Covid
The Atlantic's Katherine Wu discusses what we know -- and what we are still struggling to understand -- about long Covid.
The antitrust lawsuit against Facebook is unique in that it is calling for the company to be taken apart.
Last week, in a move that was seen coming for weeks, state and federal regulators laid out their case about why they think Facebook needs to be broken up.

Diane asked Cecilia Kang. She covers technology and regulatory policy for the New York Times. Her book, “An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination,” comes out next year.
