More than 140,000 Arkansans have lost Medicaid in two months, most of them for procedural reasons. I drove hundreds of miles around Arkansas to find out why so many of them are falling through the cracks.

Thousands lose Medicaid in Arkansas: Is this America’s future?

As many as 15 million people nationwide are expected to lose coverage as states check eligibility for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.

. @PeteButtigieg starts off talking about El Paso: "America is under attack from homegrown white nationalist terrorism." He calls white nationalism "evil" and says it is "inspiring people to commit murder and it is being condone at the highest levels of the American government."

Thank you, Nevada, for these last six and a half years, for the wonderful people, for the lessons learned, for teaching me what it means to bloom where you’re planted. Deep in the heart of the golden west, home means Nevada to me. 💙 Goodbye for now, you lovely state.

In North Carolina, two Republican candidates for state Supreme Court are leading by about 4-5 percentage points with ~70% of votes in. If they win, the court will have a 5-2 Republican majority. (It's 4-3 controlled by Democrats right now.)

I don't get the chance to say this a lot, but I really do feel like I've done some of my most meaningful reporting in the last year. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity. (Remind me tho to never volunteer to cover both a pandemic and an election in the same year again.)
