Government orders requiring vaccines have expanded across the U.S. but haven’t significantly boosted overall vaccination rates, our analysis found. Meanwhile, at least 49,000 people have left jobs or been punished at work because they did not comply. nyti.ms/3efTQIx

We surveyed every state and the nation’s 100 largest cities. Vaccine requirements cover at least 12 million people. nyti.ms/3J6lvKh

States and cities with mandates did not seem to experience any significant increase in the rate of vaccinations after the mandates, possibly because many of those areas already had relatively high vaccination rates. nyti.ms/3J6lvKh

Refugees who fled Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover say they are grateful for the help they have received. But they are also frustrated, not knowing when the U.S. will deliver on promises to protect those who worked for the U.S. government. nyti.ms/3J8M9C6

Thousands have stayed in squalid camps. Others have been threatened by security forces as they transit neighboring countries. Even those who have made it to the United States worry about how they will afford housing and food. nyti.ms/32g4WKZ

When the Taliban took over, Arian Ali had already been waiting years for a visa. Lawyers managed to get Ali and his family to a U.S. military base outside Doha, but now he is waiting for word on when they can leave. nyti.ms/32g4WKZ

A 5-year New York Times investigation into hidden Pentagon records shows that a pattern of failures in U.S. airstrikes in the Middle East has killed thousands of civilians, many of them children. None of these records show findings of wrongdoing. nyti.ms/3p6GQLv

The military’s own confidential assessments of over 1,300 reports of civilian casualties since 2014, obtained by The New York Times, lay bare how the air war has been marked by rushed and faulty targeting, despite promises of precision and transparency. nyti.ms/3p6GQLv

In only a handful of cases were the assessments made public. Not a single record provided includes disciplinary action. Many survivors were left with disabilities requiring expensive medical care, but the U.S. military has made few condolence payments.

Tornadoes spawned by a supercell eviscerated a nursing home in Monette, Arkansas, clipped the western edge of Tennessee, and plowed into Kentucky, leaving some communities almost entirely leveled.

We tracked a path of destruction that reached 260 miles.

It started somewhere outside of Searcy, Arkansas. As a ferocious storm swept over wide-open land, the ingredients came together to create tornadoes with astonishing staying power. nyti.ms/326OMUy

The National Weather Service confirmed that the storm spawned one single tornado that traveled nearly 164 miles through Kentucky. nyti.ms/326OMUy

The New York Times asked 1,320 mental health professionals how their patients are coping after nearly two years of the pandemic. The responses reflected a mostly grim picture of a growing crisis. “There is so much grief and loss,” said one psychologist. nyti.ms/328ULI2

Nine out of 10 therapists said the number of clients seeking care is on the rise, and most are experiencing a significant surge in calls for appointments, longer waiting lists and difficulty meeting patient demand. nyti.ms/328ULI2

About one in seven of the mental health providers who responded said more people of color are seeking therapy following the murder of George Floyd and anti-Asian hate crimes, among other issues. nyti.ms/328ULI2

With the future of Roe v. Wade in the hands of the Supreme Court, we took a look at the current state of abortion in America. The abortion rate has fallen in recent decades, but the procedure is still common. Here’s what the typical patient looks like. nyti.ms/3s3hXST

60% of people who have abortions are already mothers, and half of them have two or more children, according to 2019 data from the CDC. nyti.ms/3s7kR9k

The abortion rate among teenagers has fallen dramatically. A majority of abortion patients are in their 20s. Just 9% are under 20, and around a third are over 30. nyti.ms/3s7kR9k
