I'm a reporter covering the intersection between digital assets (cryptocurrencies) and policy/regulations. I'm part of the newsroom that broke the FTX story, Trump's crypto project, and crypto's financial role in the US elections this year. I suspect this beat will suddenly be far more relevant now.

A nor’easter will hit the East Coast this weekend. Now is the time to prepare. If you own a portable generator, make sure your carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are working. CO from portable generators can kill in minutes. Make sure your flashlights have fresh batteries. www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/w...

Millions along the East Coast are about to feel the wrath of the storm this weekend and into early next week.

Weekend service is just so bad. And they're starting to improve their comms but that part regarding weekend disruptions has been just atrocious for the past few years

Try going to Newark. Starting next week they're closing the JSQ-HAR segment every weekend for a few weeks and replacing it with a shuttle bus

Was concerned I might be late for my Acela to DC because my NJ Transit train to New York Penn was running late but it turns out the Acela is also running late so it all worked out I guess

Interestingly, as Bloomberg's response letter points out, Sun's declaration in support of his motion is the same one as from the voluntarily dismissed motion last month. Literally dated Aug. 11.

I'm on the new Acela and so far I rather like it. Also I'm sure there's a margin of error but woah at the top speed

Hey folks, hoping for some #finreg guidance here -- I thought there was a stay pending appeal in NTEU v Vought. Did the union appeal this case and I just can't find anything about that or is the White House free to reduce CFPB staffing?

In March of 2020 I found Ravid Yosef, who was on the hook for $800 million and recently indicted by the SDNY, reviewing hotels in Israel.

This week, I found her again, still in Israel, still tasting freedom while her co-defendants languish in prison.

Read the story here.

People who experienced homeless encampment sweeps in Washington state and Tennessee wrote about the impact it had on their lives.

Our team @propublica.org added these to our page featuring stories from people across the country: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, "My momma’s ashes were displayed on my table in my tent. I came back one day — and EVERYTHING was gone, including her ashes. They were clearly labled ‘In loving memory — my mom, my best friend…’ and her name. Her ashes were all that I had left of her. No one stored my stuff. I called tons of places and NO ONE knew anything. It is very difficult for me still, everyday. No warning, no remorse, nothing."

New York Red Bulls GK AJ Marcucci assisted Wiki Carmona on #RBNY’s opening goal.

That was the 11th Goalkeeper assist of the Mondern Era (1995 to now). Marcucci is the 5th MLS GK to have a USOC assist and has the first GK assist since 2017.
