NEW: Bondi was blindsided & angered by Tulsi's Russiagate/Obama dump and scrambled to create "Strike Force" as a fast fix, per sources. The bigger story: Trump thinks Bondi/DOJ is moving too slowly on vengeance investigations. Me and @julianbarnes nytimes.com/2025/07/24/us/…

Our latest @NOLAnews project from @jilliankramer and @jadelson. Murder cases in New Orleans move through court at a slower pace than nearly anywhere else. Families of victims and the accused are trapped in a never-ending cycle of grief. Why is it this way? nola.com/interactive/mu…
