Stories that don't make deadline: I got a late call for our article about tiny mistakes being met with gunshots. It was an overnight Walmart worker named Gladybel. She was nearly killed by an armed neighbor. nytimes.com/2023/04/20/us/…
Reupping my story on today's Arizona special from earlier this summer -- Foxx entered the race as a long shot, but successfully harnessed new and social media to exceed expectations. Lack of independent polling has left some strategists wondering if she can pull off an upset win.
The mid-July #AZ07 special primary is an early test of if a new generation of influencers and content creators tasked with helping other Democrats reach younger voters run winning campaigns of their own. wapo.st/4kaAhkk
Adelita Grijalva is the front-runner to replace her father in today's special primary election, but she faces an unexpectedly competitive primary featuring a young social-media-savvy newcomer. wapo.st/3GI7h63
Some have compared AZ to NYC bc Grijalva/Cuomo share famous last names and face younger, online opponents. But they are v diff races & it's harder to make the antiestablishment, insurgent pitch against a progressive who hasn't held federal office (not to mention lack of scandal).

The Department of Homeland Security just announced it detained Mexican boxer, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
How does a rural county that voted 80 percent for Donald Trump react when a beloved local waitress gets picked up by ICE? How do people reconcile their love for Carol with their support for Trump? I went to Mo. to ask them: nytimes.com/2025/05/28/us/…
Black history sites around the country are living with the uncertainty of Trump's order to combat "improper ideology," but their experiences so far show how hard it will be to put historical knowledge back in the bottle. From @CAMcGrady nytimes.com/2025/05/06/us/…
Journalists are more obsessed than butlers about whether things are on the table or off the table

“DEFCON 5 is ‘peacetime normal,’.” — says Military.com.
Rep. Jared Golden: "I don’t think that it’s been very effective, the Dem response, so far. In fact, I’m frustrated by it. If you make everything Defcon 5, then eventually nothing is Defcon 5, you know what I mean?" s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?track…
The SEC will have fun without Bloomberg terminals.
News: The White House has directed the GSA to terminate "every single media contract" expensed by the agency: "Politico, BBC, E&E (Politico sub) and Bloomberg" "The eye of Sauron is on more than just Politico It's all the media," WH adviser says axios.com/2025/02/06/tru…
"The newly released water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season."
2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of two Central California reservoirs because of Trump’s order to open dams trib.al/8vGxXXl
The @latimes caught up with all that California reservoir water released by Trump: "It soaked into the ground." latimes.com/environment/st…
Trump is really going after Native Americans with references to Manifest Destiny, the Frontier, Wild West and erasing Denali’s name. This anti-Indigenous inaugural address sounds like one from the 1800s when presidents deployed the U.S. military on Native Americans seeking rights
The TikTok ban is the law come Sunday. Passed by Congress; signed by the President; upheld by the Supreme Court. The Prez's job is to "faithfully execute" such laws. Yet Biden is taking a pass and Trump has signaled his intent to avoid enforcement. So much for faithfulness.
Researchers have calculated increasingly high economic costs from the warming climate. L.A. is one of the many building blocks of those estimates. I wrote about the ways in which the fires could ripple through the economy over months and years to come: nytimes.com/2025/01/15/bus…

We need age limits in Congress. No CEO, corporation, Industry, university or otherwise has 70 or 80 year olds running and leading their enterprise.
