Episode summary
It’s America’s birthday. And the country finds itself in the throes of revolution once again.
At home, the Trump administration—run on flattery, favouritism and whim—bears an uneasy resemblance to the crown-and-courtier regime America’s founders rebelled against, and executive overreach strains against the constitutional checks designed to contain it. Abroad, America’s leaders have instigated a “wrecking-ball revolution”, demolishing the post-war world order their predecessors built.
Has the American experiment failed? Is the damage done beyond repair? Or are those who pronounce the superpower in decline forgetting that dynamism has rescued the republic from dark episodes before? Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, and a panel of expert journalists assess the health of America’s democracy, consider the future of American power and share their wishes for the country on its milestone birthday.

How democracies are using autocratic tools to muzzle journalism
As scrutiny of government withers, corruption thrives
Feb 5th 2026
In November 2024 a canopy on a Serbian railway station collapsed, killing 16 people. The most likely cause of the shoddy workmanship was corruption. Huge protests erupted, and independent journalists reported on them.
Some were then beaten by thugs while cops looked on. Half were beaten by cops. In 2025 there were at least 91 physical attacks on journalists in Serbia, according to the country’s Independent Journalists’ Association. Assailants are seldom punished, which “encourages new crimes against journalists”, says Jelena Petkovic, a local specialist in media safety.

For 250 years, the United States has shaped global politics — sometimes stepping back, often stepping in. But is it really as simple as a story of isolation versus intervention?
For 250 years, US foreign policy has shaped global affairs through both military intervention and diplomacy. DW examines the debate over isolationism versus engagement, drawing on data showing more than 500 US interventions from the 1800s to today.
From Latin America and Vietnam to Iraq and the Middle East, goals have shifted from economic interests to anti-communism, humanitarian missions and counterterrorism.
At the same time, the US has helped build international treaties and alliances, even as recent administrations have stepped back from multilateral cooperation.
