At Davos, Milei and Trump laid out starkly different MAGA visions.

For Trump, it was a volley of threats as he asserts US dominance abroad.

For Milei, it was a tribute to free-market capitalism as his country received its first shipload of Chinese EVs

"You can fly to Paris while we’re not reaching our homes...It’s well designed to make our life hell.”

[Isabel DeBre @IsabelDeBre]

Since the Gaza ceasefire began in January, Israeli forces have tightened the noose around Palestinian cities

To spend a rush hour these days at any traffic-jammed checkpoint outside in the West Bank is to hear of families divided, money lost, sick people kept from doctors

This investigation is the result of collaboration and tireless work by our partners @cbjoerke , @perfange , @smeinrich at @NRKno, and @gabriels_geiger , @jus_braun, and Tahmeed Shafiq at @lhreports

Norway’s criminal justice system has often received high praise for its equity and fairness; it has rarely been under scrutiny in data-driven criminal justice journalism.

[Elena DeBre @ElenaDebre]

In 2022, two men were convicted for driving under the influence. Frank in a cheap, old car, unemployed with debt. Jakob in a new, expensive Audi, worth millions. Their cases were nearly identical, but their sentences could not have been further apart.
