Everyone enjoying “fall back?”
If the Senate got its way — and the bill they passed in March became law — today would have been the last-ever “fall back.”
But instead, the bill for permanent daylight saving quietly died in the House.
I got curious how that happened. (Thread.)

First - as we reported at the time, the Senate bill surprised the House. It surprised the White House. As @pdmcleod first reported, it also surprised some senators: buzzfeednews.com/paulmcleod/day…
And in Washington, “surprise” is not a good strategy for winning allies and making law.

So it was clear: lawmakers wanted time to strategize.
@FrankPallone, chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, told me in mid-March “it could be weeks — or it could be months” before the House made a decision on the bill.
Ok. But it’s been 7 months…

1/ When @ICIJorg first got the #pandorapapers, I wanted to see what we could learn about the U.S. as a tax haven. I’d heard rumors, but wanted to see WHO and WHAT was using secrecy inside the US.

2/ With @delreuter, we spent months poring over 12 million records to identify more than 200 U.S. trusts, many of which were in South Dakota.
Of those, almost 30 trusts were tied to people, firms and assets linked to allegations of wrongdoing, including human rights abuses.

3/ @debbiecenziper, @salwangeorges @BrendaMedinar travelled to California, South Dakota and the Dominican Republic to connect the wonky world of trusts (what they heck are they, anyway?) to real people.
And real suffering. (Check out @salwangeorges's moving photos)

One of those workers, a nurse named Jennifer Bridges, said she’s already found work at a firm and is planning a protest at Houston Methodist this weekend.
She excused herself from an interview with The Post to take a protest-planning call from InfoWars founder Alex Jones.

Bridges also led a much-watched lawsuit against Methodist, alleging its vaccine mandate was unlawful.
But a federal judge this month dismissed the case.
“Methodist is trying to do their business of saving lives without giving them the COVID-19 virus,” Judge Lynn Hughes wrote.

This is what white supremacy leads to: the destruction of Black lives and Black wealth, the impact of which reverberates a century after the #TulsaMassacre

This is Brenda Nails-Alford. Her grandparents owned Nails Brothers, a shoe and record store in Tulsa’s historically Black Greenwood district in the early 1900s. It was torched during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

A commemorative plaque, listing the store’s address as 121 1/2 N. Greenwood Ave., lies a few feet from the highway overpass. “Destroyed 1921,” it reads.

#Kashmir thread: It’s been 20 days since India unilaterally revoked #Article370, flew in thousands of troops, imposed an unprecedented communications blackout & curfew-like conditions. Starting a thread on all of the @washingtonpost coverage of the issue here -
On Aug 5, India revokes special status of Kashmir. The decision and its stealthy implementation are likely to further damage New Delhi’s relationship with its most restive state and ignite unrest there.Â

While the news made headlines globally, a day later, there had been almost no word from inside Kashmir, a situation many described as a “siege.”
