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. 🧵

The most underrated finding in the NYC congestion pricing data: Ambulances don't pay the toll, so total EMS travel time is down 63-70 seconds.

South Korean traders' leveraged SK Hynix, Samsung bets unravel after selloff

South Korean retail investors who piled into leveraged bets on the country's AI champions are nursing steep losses after a sharp reversal, exposing the risks of the speculative trading boom that helped fuel one of the world's hottest equity markets.
The pain has been especially acute for holders of single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds tied to chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which had surged alongside the AI-driven semiconductor rally, and have now tumbled.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

It’s been a hard and yet triumphant year for Minnesota. Ordinary people have been targeted by their fellow countrymen, and made heroic sacrifices for their neighbors. So, appropriate to remember that 163 years ago today, 262 average Minnesotans sacrificed themselves at the Battle of Gettysburg.
