Chuffed to have received the 2024 award for Excellence in Political Reporting from the @aaja, for my On the Ground in Florida series for @FastCompany. It covered the flurry of draconian legislation and its impact on ordinary Floridians across the state.

@swellis_ @MorePerfectUS So great working with you on this @swellis_!

Thrilled to join @MorePerfectUS and @TalibVisram's investigation into how these World Cup tickets got so damn expensive: https://t.co/1vHF8rpyg5

[Talib Visram @TalibVisram]

Produced this video for @MorePerfectUS with @chaidingari about the astronomical ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup.

We asked... why?? It's a perfect storm between FIFA's practices & the U.S. system.

Watch below for an explainer, some fixes... and plenty of Scotland fans ⚽️

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: World Cup tickets cost up to $11.5 million — you could get into the last WC for $11.

This time FIFA could rake in $13 billion using dynamic pricing, resales, and lax U.S. rules.

We found FIFA President Gianni Infantino funneling that money into keeping himself in power.

2/ Enter the Poppis, Olipops (Olipoops?) & other pre/probiotic-loaded bevvies, which are vividly branded, TikTok-marketed, and Post Malone-endorsed. Consensus is they're not necessarily bad... but are they good? Here's my journey through the gut https://t.co/XoYyiIRwdb

1/ For the a Special Issue of @MensHealthMag, I took a closer look at the so-called healthier sodas claiming to boost your gut microbiome. Research on this "additional living world" is relatively nascent. "That gap is a gold mine for companies to slide in," says Caitlin Dow, Ph.D

Are journalists who cover the “breaking” event… breaking news reporters? #Paris2024 #OlympicGames

This week, I chatted with @TalibVisram about the need for more private-public partnerships, like @GeorgiaTech and @lixil_official , to realize universal safe sanitation faster.

If were in charge of choosing the next pair of detectives for TRUE DETECTIVE S4: who would you like to see?

Fascinating interview by @TalibVisram of Nobel Prize-winning @Princeton economist Angus Deaton on why his profession is often wrong about markets and globalization--and why he thinks @JoeBiden might be on the right track https://t.co/vT14QPEZO3

Ron DeSantis has shaken up the liberal arts haven of New College of Florida, driving 40% of faculty to quit and leaving students in the lurch. New York's @BardCollege is stepping in to help, with a new program launching today https://t.co/Akg5gsb1If @JoyAnnReid @MSNBC

His extreme policies in Florida are the root of some of his campaign issues—though there are other reasons. Here's my full On the Ground in Florida series 🐊, which dives into some of those policies: https://t.co/8JsqJ9wCVM

[Talib Visram @TalibVisram]

Republicans had high hopes for DeSantis. He was "Trump without the baggage." But he's gone from bagging a historic landslide reelection in Florida to tanking in favorability. Ahead of tonight's GOP debate, I assess what happened: https://t.co/YLzkbhCuTH
