Lawyer Sidney Powell’s nonprofit raised more than $14 million as she spread false claims about the 2020 election washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Previously unreported records also detail acrimony between Powell and her top lieutenants over how the money — now a focus of inquiries by federal prosecutors and Congress — was being handled. wapo.st/3Is8Jp1
Matt Masterson, a former senior U.S. cybersecurity official, said Powell’s fundraising success demonstrates one reason so many people continue to spread falsehoods about the 2020 election: It can bring in cash. wapo.st/3Is8Jp1
Last week, The Post reported that federal prosecutors have subpoenaed financial and other documents related to Defending the Republic and a political action committee by the same name, also headed by Powell. wapo.st/32TVv46

In the middle of the 19th century, hundreds of thousands of new Americans flooded into New York.

They found homes in buildings like this one, on Orchard Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. wapo.st/3GhSbOA
Today, it's preserved by the Tenement Museum, a public history organization.

Inside, visitors can see relics and reminders of one of the most consequential migrations in human history, a flood tide of humanity that changed the fabric of America. wapo.st/3GhSbOA
For decades, tenement dwellers had only basic protection from fire but almost none from disease.

As public understanding of contagious disease improved, housing laws in 1879 and 1901 helped spur incremental changes. wapo.st/3GhSbOA Image

After working a couple of years in an intensive care unit, Alex Stow signed up to be a travel nurse, tripling his pay to about $95 an hour by agreeing to help short-staffed hospitals around the country for 13 weeks at a time. wapo.st/3IsiSSE
Stow, 25, is buying a truck and a camper and preparing to hit the road.

He’ll work where he wants and take time off to see the country between nursing assignments. wapo.st/3IsiSSE "As soon as I found out that was a thing, I thought, &q
If 2020 was the year travel nursing took off, with 35 percent growth over the pre-pandemic year of 2019, this year propelled it to new heights, with an additional 40 percent growth expected, according to an independent analyst of the health-care workforce. wapo.st/3lAaPJR

Matthew Hawn was well aware his liberal views made him an outlier in his overwhelmingly White, mostly conservative community.

But that had never mattered before. wapo.st/3rJMrJw
He had taught in rural Tennessee for 16 years without any trouble. And he had taught the class that got him fired, “Contemporary Issues,” for nearly a decade without a single parent complaint. wapo.st/3rJMrJw
Then at the start of last school year, he made a pronouncement during a discussion about police shootings that would derail his career.

White privilege, he told his nearly all-White class, is “a fact.” wapo.st/3rJMrJw

The state of local journalism is widely, and correctly, understood to be grim. About 2,200 local print newspapers have closed since 2005. washingtonpost.com/magazine/inter…
In this special issue of @wpmagazine, we asked local journalists to tell some of the stories that have gone untold or underreported. washingtonpost.com/magazine/inter…
Every piece in our Lost Local News issue originates in a news desert. In practice, this means counties with few — sometimes zero — print newspapers of any kind.

In many cases, there’s no alternative to replace the important community reporting that print papers once did. Penny Muse Abernathy, a visiting professor at Northwestern U

For 56 years, Eric Clapton never brought politics into his music.

But when covid struck, the guitarist took a forceful — and controversial — stand. wapo.st/3FrdgWq
In “Stand and Deliver,” Eric Clapton released his first protest song in 56 years.

The song went full anti-lockdown, taking aim at the government for trying to control a global pandemic by temporarily shuttering restaurants, gyms and concert halls. wapo.st/3FrdgWq
Clapton released two more lockdown songs and pledged to perform only where fans would not be required to be vaccinated, or, he said, not “where there is a discriminated audience present.” wapo.st/3FrdgWq
