America’s fragmented electric grid, which was largely built to accommodate coal and gas plants, is becoming a major obstacle to efforts to fight climate change. nyti.ms/3p7DWJg We often talk about the grid like a single, cohesive machine. But, in reality, there are three grids in the U.S — one in the West, one in the East and one in Texas — that only connect at a few points and share little power between them. nyti.ms/3p7DWJg

The relentless noisiness of daily life is more than annoying — it can have lasting effects on the body. Noise is an under-recognized health threat that increases the risk of hypertension, stroke and heart attacks. nyti.ms/3MYGtO1 The New York Times measured noise exposure in rural Mississippi, New York City, and suburban California and New Jersey, and consulted more than 30 scientists to examine how noise could take years off your life. nyti.ms/3MYGtO1

Trillions of dollars in family wealth are set to be passed down in the next few years — and the transfer will largely reinforce U.S. inequality. nyti.ms/3W312gr Total family wealth in the U.S. has tripled since 1989, reaching $140 trillion in 2022.

Of the $84 trillion projected to be passed down from older Americans to millennial and Gen X heirs through 2045, $16 trillion will be transferred in the next decade. nyti.ms/3W312gr

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s longtime incumbent leader, will head to a presidential election runoff for the first time in his career after falling short of the 50% needed to win in national elections on Sunday. nyti.ms/3M0eQ6G Erdogan still had the most votes, including more than the opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, as of Monday. But the provinces that contain Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey’s two largest cities, voted for Kilicdaroglu after both voted for Erdogan in 2018. nyti.ms/3M0eQ6G

A group of conservative operatives used robocalls to raise millions of dollars using pro-police and pro-veteran messages. But a New York Times analysis shows that nearly all the money went to pay the callers and themselves. nyti.ms/42SaxkL Since 2014, a group of nonprofits has pulled in $89 million from donors who were pitched on building political support for police officers, veterans and firefighters. But just 1% of the money was used to that end according to our findings. nyti.ms/3Ibq2w9

An investigation by The New York Times uncovered a cascade of problems at a large, upscale residential complex in the suburbs of southern Turkey, that collapsed during the earthquake in February, killing hundreds of its occupants. nyti.ms/44Uu0mr The building, called the Renaissance, was part of President Erdogan’s building boom in Turkey over the past decade, a pillar of his plans for economic growth. But flawed design and shoddy inspections proved fatal when the complex toppled over. nyti.ms/44Uu0mr

Since the coronavirus pandemic began more than three years ago, the U.S. has suffered wave after wave of loss. The federal declaration of the Covid-19 public health emergency expires on Thursday. Here is a look back at the toll the virus has taken. nyti.ms/42u9bwM This map shows where people have died of Covid. Few places in the U.S. were left untouched. nyti.ms/41r3QFg

The U.S. lifted a pandemic rule that was used to kick out hundreds of thousands of people who crossed the border illegally over the past three years.

New restrictions will lead many migrants to be deported — but others will still get into the U.S. nyti.ms/3NXnSUH So what determines whether someone gets in? Sometimes it’s about how good of a case can be made, or whether rules were followed in an often chaotic system. Much of the time, it’s luck. Here’s what to expect under the new rules. nyti.ms/3NXnSUH

Joel Embiid, the 7-foot, 280-pound center of the Philadelphia 76ers, is great at all the things you’d expect from an NBA big man — rebounds and blocked shots among them. But there’s one thing you may not expect: ball-handling like a guard. nyti.ms/40rqcpp “I think he thinks he is a guard,” 76ers shooting guard Tyrese Maxey said of Embiid. He can stretch defenses by dribbling like his Lilliputian teammates. Here he drives the length of the court, through defenders, for a layup. nyti.ms/3Aj2qkZ

India’s population is on the cusp of passing China’s as the largest in the world.

Will India be able to take advantage of its immensity to change the world as China did over the past generation? nyti.ms/3UKSdqZ Unlike China, which is facing the hangover of its decades under the one-child policy, India faces no steep drop-off and accompanying economic and social dangers. India’s growth curve and fertility rate are the envy of aging countries like China. nyti.ms/3UKSdqZ

The U.S. gets most of its energy by setting tiny fires everywhere, burning fossil fuels in engines and furnaces, creating pollution that heats the planet.

To tackle climate change, experts increasingly say, is to replace what we use with electric versions.nyti.ms/3KX9qKq But electrifying almost everything — cars, trucks, homes, factories — is a formidable task.
Passenger cars and trucks in the U.S. used 14 quadrillion B.T.U. in 2021 and less than 1% of that came from electricity. nyti.ms/3KX9qKq

Overseas suppliers of abortion pills are filling a gap in access created by the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.

Websites selling these pills offer an easy — though legally dubious — route for people looking for a way around state-level abortion bans. nyti.ms/3KWTDLy Tens of thousands of patients have already gone online in search of abortion pills. In the span of two weeks in February, one online seller distributed more than 300 orders, primarily to people in Southeastern states where abortion access is restricted. nyti.ms/3KWTDLy

Why did the Western U.S. get battered with a lot of punishing storms and much more snow than usual this season, while parts of the Eastern half of the country saw warm winter temperatures and a lot less snow? nytimes.com/interactive/20… It’s common for the two coasts to see opposing weather conditions. This season was one of them, causing vast amounts more snow than average in areas of the West. Swaths of the East experienced less than a quarter of the snow they usually get. nyti.ms/3KRhbR1

After months of pouring soldiers into eastern Ukraine to seize the entire Donbas region, Russia’s progress essentially adds up to this: three small settlements and part of the city of Bakhmut, a high-profile battlefield with limited strategic value. nyti.ms/3nFMIx5 Moscow’s inability to gain much ground in the Donbas shows how its military has struggled to efficiently capture urban areas throughout the war. Here are the towns and cities it wanted to capture, and what they have actually captured. nyti.ms/3nFMIx5

In late 2020, when Donald Trump began making a serious bid to overturn a legitimate election, Rupert Murdoch was faced with a choice: Should Fox News report the facts or follow its audience all the way into the land of conspiracy theories? bit.ly/40DVR85 The president that Fox favored had been promoting a lie: That Democrats were illegally seizing power through voter fraud.
That lie excited and angered his supporters.
Many of those supporters were also Fox’s core audience.
Violence was in the air. bit.ly/40DVR85

The indictment against Donald Trump was unsealed on Tuesday, offering the clearest picture yet of the Manhattan district attorney’s case.

The New York Times annotated the indictment. Here’s what to know. nyti.ms/43agV7N This is the crime that Trump is charged with 34 times: falsifying business records in the first degree.

More than 100 scientific studies show that abortion pills are safe. But anti-abortion groups have asked a federal judge to block the use of the drugs, arguing that they are dangerous. nyti.ms/3M8C24c The New York Times, in consultation with medical researchers, reviewed studies covering more than 124,000 abortions in the first trimester. The studies spanned continents and decades.

Drone footage, taken shortly after the earthquake in Turkey, shows the ruins of what used to be a vibrant main corridor in the heart of Antakya’s Old City. The New York Times overlaid building facades from Google Maps to show what was lost. nyti.ms/408W2rP Locals called it Saray Street. It was lined with more than 70 shops, restaurants and businesses. There was a 150 year-old church. The Old City had some of the most important and oldest religious and cultural institutions. Much of this was reduced to rubble.

The New York Times is changing the source of its data for its ongoing Covid trackers. For more than three years, we have compiled our own U.S. county-level data, but we will now use information from the CDC.

Here’s why: nyti.ms/407mFx3 Covid data from local sources that we have been using to monitor cases and deaths has become less reliable. At the same time, data on infections that the CDC gets from hospitals has often been a better indicator of local trends. nyti.ms/407mFx3

What happened to cause the sudden collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank — the biggest bank failures since the Great Recession? Let us explain. nyti.ms/3JvfrvJ The problem for SVB was that it held bonds that were bought when interest rates were low. But with rates rising, newer bonds became more valuable to investors than those SVB was holding. To repay depositors, it had to sell these bonds at huge losses. nyti.ms/3Lz4OL7
