My story on Bogotá's La Rolita, an all-electric public bus fleet with a gender equity focus -- half the drivers are women -- created by the Colombian capital to refurbish the image of its public transit system.

Mississippi used data from Experian as it inactivated the registration of tens of thousands of voters. Voters and election officials told me and @yvonnewingett that the move caused chaos on election day, when some of those voters tried to vote.

El año pasado, la diputada Lauren Boebert fue a una fiesta vestida de "mexicana", mientras su novio iba de agente de ICE. Se burló, además, de cómo los hispanos hablan inglés con un letrero que decía "juicy" en lugar de "You see".

Among the impeachment charges against Pete Hegseth, Trump's defense secretary, are the summary executions of people in suspected drug boats. They should have been arrested and prosecuted. These were murders. trib.al/oi2DzEg

Miguel Parra Hernandez is trapped in a rehab facility after an ICE agent drove into him with a car then lied about it.
He’s guarded day and night by ICE and private prison guards from GEO Group. He’s being denied proper care and basic hygiene like baths. He has become depressed and talked about taking his own life.
He had no criminal record and no deportation order. Miguel should be released immediately and be able to recover at home with his family. First assaulted, then neglected—this treatment amounts to torture.

New from @NickNehamas and I: Trump is expanding the A.I. border surveillance tower program. Already, more than a million people in the U.S. and Mexico live within their view. We break down their history, how the tech works and local residents’ views.

Unlike every other Western democracy, the U.S. has no meaningful Socialist Party, and socialism has never overtaken either of the country’s two major political parties. American socialism was last prominent in 1912, but fractured with the Bolshevik Revolution, the Second World War, and the Red Scare.
Today, the banner of socialism is being carried by the Democratic Socialists of America.
A Gallup poll from this fall cited a record-high approval rating for socialism, and showed that backing for key measures endorsed by the D.S.A. has surged. Is there a new New Left in America? And, if so, what is its plan? Jill Lepore reflects on the long history of American socialism, and considers what its present iteration will bring. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Award-winning journalist @jeanguerre literally wrote the book on Stephen Miller, Hatemonger. “He is, above all, a sadist," she told me on @connectmsnow.

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

Images of memorials to Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo covered in "I Voted" stickers went viral last week.
But there was one memorial you probably didn’t see in news clips or on social media.

When multibillionaire Ron Baron was born in the summer of 1943 Bernie Sanders was ONE YEAR OLD
Here’s the clip of legendary investor and lifelong Democrat Ron Baron saying “who cares about [Bernie Sanders], he’s almost dead,” in response to a line of questions about whether the election matters for Wall Street.
Setting aside the repulsiveness of his specific comment, I have a lot of hope that the midterms will chasten this kind of invincibility. Our economy is run by a private class of billionaire investors who have learned over many decades that government is not seriously in the business of shaping our economy. They are the tail that wags the dog, not the other way around. Elections simply don’t matter to these guys, and we saw that rhetoric coming from Calacanis, Musk and many others this week, too.
If this changes, and if elections can in fact chasten Baron and the other barons of our society, it will be a welcome paradigm shift. We shall see.

"The Times identified more than 110 people who had court-ordered protections and were handed over to foreign governments, only to then be passed on to home countries where they risked torture, sexual abuse or persecution — risks that have been validated by American courts."

BREAKING: We notified the court that the government was planning to deport Iranians back to Iran Sunday morning.
At the last minute, Iranian detainees were pulled off the flight.
The government narrowly avoided violating a judge's order.
Their unlawful treatment of Iranian asylum seekers demands attention.
