Prosecutors have released some new details in last weekend's Portland shooting, including some screenshots of new surveillance footage from the seconds before. It first shows Reinoehl and Danielson (behind him) walking along the same sidewalk, apparently not in conflict.
Authorities said Reinoehl looks back toward Danielson. While nobody seems to be bothering him, Danielson appears to already be carrying mace in one hand and an expandable baton in the other. Reinoehl moves into a parking garage and puts his hand around his waistband.
After that, Reinoehl comes out of the parking garage. The shooting occurs seconds later.

Previous video seems to show Danielson lifting to spray mace as you can hear gunshots. Reinoehl said in the VICE interview he was acting in defense of himself and others.

Texas officials have long worried about the dangers to children who packed into camps each summer along the flood-prone Guadalupe River. They knew that warning systems were inadequate.

So why was nothing done? We have reviewed documents spanning a decade to find answers.

🧵 1/9
Without a more advanced warning system, the youth camps on the river had instead relied on a word-of-mouth strategy: Upstream camps would warn downstream peers of water surges coming their way.

But officials repeatedly wondered whether that was sufficient.

Here's a county commissioner talking in 2017, during a discussion about river gauges, sirens, and other ways the might alert people to flash floods.

NEW: There is a fascinating political drama unfolding right now at Indian Creek Village, the small gated island known as the “Billionaire Bunker,” home to the likes of Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump.

It is a saga revolving around the island's 💩

THREAD (1/8) Image
Despite the island’s extreme luxury (an empty lot sold for $110M), Indian Creek does not have a sewer system. The island proposed sending waste into the pipes of neighboring Surfside but then balked at the town’s $10M ask.

That was just the start.

nytimes.com/2025/06/13/us/…
One of Indian Creek’s residents called the $10 million fee a “shakedown.” Another called it “extortion.” The village attorney called it a “ransom.”

Seattle’s only national park honors the grit of the Klondike gold rush, where Donald Trump's grandfather built the family's early wealth.

But the DOGE cuts have placed the park’s future at risk.

A 🧵 about the park and Frederick Trump... Image
Image
There are some fascinating twists of history in this story.

Frederick Trump had his first foray into the world of hospitality as a 22-year-old in Seattle, when he opened a restaurant very close to the site of the current national park.

nytimes.com/2025/03/14/us/…
In 1896, Frederick Trump made the family's first foray into U.S. politics in the mining town of Monte Cristo. In a local campaign, he apparently allied himself with William Jennings Bryan, the populist Democrat who railed against tariffs.

NEW:

A preliminary FAA report says staffing in the air traffic control tower at Reagan National was "not normal" last night.

One controller was managing both helicopters in the vicinity and planes — tasks typically divided between two controllers. Image
For those who haven't seen it, my NYT colleagues did an outstanding project looking at FAA records, air traffic control staffing, and a series of close calls in commercial aviation.

So, did Los Angeles cut the Fire Department budget or increase it? There are lots of people trying to score political points on that question.

If you are among the exclusive group of people who care about understanding the more complicated reality, here is a brief thread.

1/6
Last year, the mayor approved a $23 million budget cut for the fire department, including:

• Eliminating 73 civilian positions
• Reducing money available to pay firefighters’ overtime by $7.9 million

BUT…

2/6
nytimes.com/2025/01/09/us/…
When the budget was signed, the city was still negotiating a new contract with the firefighters’ union. After that was settled, more money was approved, so the total fire budget is now actually $53 million more than last year.

BUT…

NEW: We have obtained more details about Shamsud-Din Jabbar, his descent into radicalization, and some of his final words as he drove toward his attack in New Orleans.

THREAD 1/8
In one of his final messages, Jabbar told his family: “I wanted you to know that I joined ISIS.”

Then, a chilling addendum: “I don’t want you to think I spared you willingly.” He described how he had considered a fake “celebration” for them.

Story:

2/8nytimes.com/2025/01/04/us/…
Jabbar’s family members said his radicalization was a secret to them.

But they had noticed changes: He was stressed financially, upset about “genocide on both sides” in the Middle East, and expressing disgust of partying (something, we found, was once part of his life).
