This will be a long thread. Please stick with it. The Miami Herald, one of the premier legacy newspapers in America, laid off or wrote off more than 30 positions today – well over one-third of its editorial staff. The cuts include crucial accountability beats. (1)

Pirro has tied truancy rates to recent “teen takeovers" and has repeatedly criticized DC officials as too lax on youth crime. But a A federal probe into what appears to be a city’s day-to-day governance is rare. B/c DC is not a state, the feds have unique oversight over DC

What I learned about the American Dream from Europeans pretending to live in Ohio

Pirro has convened a special grand jury, an extremely rare move in DC. That could potentially pave the way for her office to investigate some of its biggest cases. Read more about what a special grand jury is and what it could mean for the office. washingtonpost.com/national-…

The money can be used for everyday law enforcement needs, like hiring officers or equipment. But the big catch: States/localities must agree to partner with ICE on immigration enforcement

Could this country build more housing if it allowed smaller elevators, like Europe? Good @juliezweil article: wapo.st/4buJHWz
