Who doesn't love a webpage that tells you when you're going to die?? This week we published an interactive calculator that lets you compare American life expectancy with people in other countries. Graphics by the outstanding Leslie Shapiro and Carson TerBush washingtonpost.com/world/interact…

Last week was the closest I’ve felt to a major mass shooting. Card went to my high school, and my parents were on lockdown during the manhunt. But this has happened 450 times since 2006. This week, we relaunched our tracker on mass killings in America. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

You’ve heard of the Boston Tea Party. Its 250th anniversary is Saturday. But why is Rhode Island’s own rebellion — 18 months earlier — repeatedly scrubbed from our textbooks? It’s a tale of who got to write our history — and blaming Harvard. More here: washingtonpost.com/history/2023/1…

One of my favorite stories I've gotten to edit recently: Can YOU spot which of these actors are wearing wigs? Come for the quiz, stay for the in-depth interviews and diagrams! washingtonpost.com/entertainment/…

Our polling average topline takeaway: Trump is leading in 5 of the 7 battleground states that are most likely to determine the outcome of the election, but PA, WI and MI are within a typically-sized polling error. w/ Diane Napolitano, Kati Perry & Luis Melgar washingtonpost.com/elections/inte…
