My latest piece unfolds in rural Iowa on the eve of the 2024 presidential election, and follows a couple who disagree on Trump. But politics only hums in the background. Their story is about memory, and family, and land, and what people owe one another. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

When I asked why our book was banned, the school district said they did not even read it. They did it preemptively. In this essay, I detail the heartbreaking, eye opening experience of your work being kept away from students. Please check it out: newyorker.com/news/essay/whe…

The ⁦The Washington Post⁩ took the extraordinary step to publish never before seen images from mass shootings. They are disturbing but, together with deeply personal accounts, offer the public a real look at what an AR-15 does. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

It’s been the honor of a lifetime to earn the trust of women navigating post-Roe America. Thank you, Pulitzer board, for recognizing the importance of their stories. It means the world to me, and to them. pulitzer.org/winners/caroli…

In several congressional hearings, HHS Secretary Becerra has been asked about our reporting that HHS couldn't reach 85,000 migrant children right after releasing them.

He says he doesn't know where those numbers come from. For what it's worth, they're from the HHS press office.

“The carnage is rarely visible to the public. Crime scene photos are considered too gruesome to publish and often kept confidential. News accounts rely on antiseptic descriptions from law enforcement officials and medical examiners.” washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…
