A 5 y/o girl starved to death in Baltimore. Zona Byrd weighed only 17 lbs when she died in a home where her brother was also starving. The parents had a history of abuse — at one point losing custody. How could this happen? Jessica Calefati and I sought answers thebaltimorebanner.com/community/crim…

Yachts, strippers & wads of cash: Chokwe Antar Lumumba, the mayor of Jackson, has been indicted for bribery following an FBI sting operation. What does his undoing say about Mississippi's failing capital? Follow me to the most murderous city in America: economist.com/united-states/…

I spent days secretly tracking plainclothes drug agents through the ATL airport. We exposed how they seized cash from innocent passengers. Now that investigation has forced the DOJ to shut down the entire program nationwide. Here's the story: youtu.be/AsmVfa3BvvY?si…

After her Trump prosecution derailed Fani Willis needed a win. But the Young Thug trial, her second biggest case, didn't deliver: the alleged kingpin walked away with no prison time & a jury acquitted the men on murder charges. Can she survive the blow? economist.com/united-states/…

Black-plurality precincts in Jacksonville swung 9 points to Trump, while the balance of Duval County swung 3 points. Jacksonville has been somewhat immune to the reddening trends elsewhere in Florida, so this is more generalizable to the rest of the South.

Since the heyday of ISIS's caliphate attacks by Muslim-Americans have plummeted. But 2024 marked a resurrection, with the New Orleans attack topping off a bloody year. Trump's budget cuts and isolationism probably won't help. My piece for The Economist economist.com/united-states/…

As @SenPizzo questions Joe Gruters about new language in TRUMP Act, game this out: Leg. passes bill, Ron DeSantis vetoes ... Legislature then has option to override veto, but I think override will need some Dem votes. Can Dems really go along with capital punishment aspect?

Want to understand the fast and aggressive politics in Washington? Look to Tallahassee, where many of Trump's top dogs learned to hustle, buck conventions & fight for the boss My dispatch from a state that realigned its politics in record time: economist.com/united-states/…

Do blue states need to go along with Trump's immigration raids? Can red states boss around their blue cities? This week Aryn Braun and I look into how disputes over federalism will dictate the future of the sanctuary movement economist.com/united-states/…

Curious what it's like to be a CDC scientist in the DOGE age? "Be like a bulldog", one said, "keep smiling even when you can't breathe". A dozen insiders risked their jobs to talk to me, and sent along 100 internal emails that get at the chaos and fear: economist.com/united-states/…

Absolutely incredible. The Trump admin accidentally adds the editor of the Atlantic to a Signal group. Then Pete Hegseth sends him details of the US strikes on Yemen hours ahead of time incl. "precise information about weapons packages, targets & timing" theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Are you delusional? You've constantly turned your back on Texans and President Trump, including trying to stop his campaign in 2024 and saying his "time has passed him by." Texans won't believe your lies or forget how you've consistently worked to undermine the President.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/4j8e0DG
