NEW: I interviewed Matt Lambert repeatedly last year as his bitter condo dispute escalated. He repeatedly criticized building manager James Stuart, whom he killed Thursday.

"From a state that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as “sweltering with the heat of injustice,” Colom is the first Black man popularly elected statewide in Mississippi"

@newsbysamuels captures the historic moment so well

It's a thrill to have my debut story in the @nytimes this morning, on Angela Merkel's official portrait -- serious, subdued, and micromanaged by Merkel herself -- and what its reception says about her legacy.

ICE detained the baseball coach at D.C.'s Alice Deal Middle School over what his family said was a decades old paperwork error. ICE says it's more than that and his students are trying to figure out how to help. via @lbowman_98 @aangieoh

Attorney General Todd Blanche has been very busy in the run up to the midterm elections, stumping on the campaign trail and cannonballing into the types of politically fraught cases the Justice Department typically stays away from right before an election

DOJ is usually quiet in the months before an election.

“But (Todd) Blanche has had some of his busiest weeks as attorney general ahead of next week’s midterms, cannonballing into politically fraught cases as the president cheers him on” https://t.co/yjPLDMO9aM

In this tribute to Ann Hornaday, @PhilipKennicott explains why she was so wonderful and gives examples. Gift link here. Read it, and like me, weep. https://t.co/iRz9GJOZDz

Infuriating. Heidi Levine is one of the bravest and hardest working journalists I’ve ever worked with:

Big news – I've got a new beat!

Hanging up my hat (for now) as a @postlocal reporter to dig into criminal justice policy issues all over the country.

What's going on in your state? Your town? Your backyard? I'm all ears.

This will be a long thread. Please stick with it.

The Miami Herald, one of the premier legacy newspapers in America, laid off or wrote off more than 30 positions today – well over one-third of its editorial staff. The cuts include crucial accountability beats. (1)

Pirro's special grand jury probe is intensifying, w/ employees testifying and prosecutors subpoenaing data from multiple city agencies

More agencies dealing w/ kids are expected to be involved as locals fear the probe could be used to undermine DCautonomy https://t.co/bp2OT79UZZ

[paul schwartzman @paulschwartzman]

Police are voluntarily testifying before a special grand jury about child deaths as prosecutors have subpoenaed social service and school records. https://t.co/oQCm9zvb9c

[Perry Stein @PerryStein]

Pirro’s special grand jury focused on how DC supervises kids has been fast moving and broad, with teachers and police officers already testifying and multiple government agencies — including DC schools and Child Family Services — getting subpoenaed

@rcobooth @cuneytdil my two beats, coming together!

[Perry Stein @PerryStein]

NEW: The special grand jury that Pirro convened is investigating the city's oversight of youth and DC public schools. In recent days, prosecutors have reached out to teachers, questioning them about truancy and graduation rates.

[Perry Stein @PerryStein]

Pirro has tied truancy rates to recent “teen takeovers" and has repeatedly criticized DC officials as too lax on youth crime.

But a A federal probe into what appears to be a city’s day-to-day governance is rare. B/c DC is not a state, the feds have unique oversight over DC
