Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

Donald Johnson is 81. He has driven over 200,000 miles delivering lost luggage as his wife Josephine has cancer & he needs to pay her medical bills. “It’s the only job that will hire me.” Vote blue for a country where 81-year-olds get to care for their wives. #BlueWaveIn40Days

What about Ricky's Flower Market in Union Square? I haven't been since Spring, so can't vouch for inventory, but strikes me as the kind of place that might have what you need.

It hurt to walk down the stairs today, LOL. But my squats and lunges have a purpose- I get to return to running after being injured for a long time. The big day is the day after tomorrow! So I should be grateful for lunges and squats.

Yes, and it's why I am not on here or checking the news as often as I used to. It seems to be the only way to stay sane. Sometimes I come on and just check #uglydogs and @nedpyle.com feeds because they are a source of some fun.

The full contours of the deal were unclear, but Denmark and Greenland both indicated they expected an agreement to be signed soon.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Consumer Reports tested 13 e-scooters to rate and review. But because of the frequency of injuries being reported - including injuries sustained by the CR testers themselves in this process - CR is not recommending ANY. www.consumerreports.org/cars/electri...

DOJ is 0-23 in court, so now it’s sending 1,000 monitors to the polls

$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.

It was the fifth such deal struck by the administration to get companies to drop offshore wind projects.
