Since Monday, just three oil and gas tankers have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, according to @Kpler data. It's a de facto closure, says @pickeringenergy: “You've got a significant number of vessels on either side of the strait but no one is willing to go through.”

My latest, with @propublica + @NYTmag: An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of domestic violence survivors who fought back -- women who are serving long sentences for killing their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison? propublica.org/article/oklah…

Officials say at least 62 people died in the raid that caught “El Mencho,” longtime head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and violence that followed. This @vantortech satellite image of yesterday shows thick smoke across Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. More in thread. nytimes.com/live/2026/02/23/…

Important reporting by @theintercept and @airwars: flight-tracking data shows it took the U.S. nearly 2 days to get a rescue plane to the site where 8 boat-strike survivors were seen. Threading a few more details here as we'd been working on this too: theintercept.com/2026/02/17/…

I’d love to answer this question!
Replying to @katemshepherd
What are you known for? What truth did you hold to any power? What is your crowning achievement at the WaPo? For that matter what truth did anyone in the Metro section hold to any power?

Turns out Snoop Dogg went from distancing himself from a crypto casino (Roobet) to going to an online sweepstakes casino, branded with his name now. tiktok.com/@snoopdogg/video/…
Replying to @AricToler
The spokesperson for Snoop Dogg, who had a deal with Roobet that ended shortly after we sent him questions, gave this response. The other celebrity streamers we reached out to didn’t respond. xitter.cf/Roobet/status/19680875…

New story with updates on our ongoing project examining the fates of 55 of Assad's most brutal enforcers: luxury lives in Moscow and Dubai, sure, but also properties in Spain, small apartments in Damascus, and some stuck on tourist visas. And one arrest. nyti.ms/45oxhML
