Good follow up on the Van Drew staffer who allegedly faked being ziptied and cut by Trump critics for attention. Spoiler alert: She's still not well.

NEW investigation for @WSJ:

- Polymarket is paying scores of offshore clippers to quietly promote its international exchange in the U.S. (though it’s banned from letting Americans trade on the platform)
- Polymarket made dummy websites mirroring its real site, then paid creators to use the fake site and pretend to win thousands.
- Creators altered headlines and used outdated footage to imply they won bets—even when they often lost
- Polymarket paid Adin Ross multiple millions to promote the site

All that and more in my latest story with @ByKLong @ceostroff @brenna__smith

I did a good deal of affordable housing coverage while covering the town of Princeton for @princetonian for four years. Another side of this: as home values go up, the town’s historically black population has been priced out.
